    The rap was added by Voiceplay but it fits so well. As I’ve said elsewhere this is like drowning in a sea of talent and testosterone.

    You really get it. It’s who they are and not just what they can do. They interact with their patrons, and that seems to feed their creativity. That’s particularly true of Layne, who prefers Zoom chats with patrons.

    Great reaction! Yes Ed Boyer is the one who does the mixing for both VoicePlay and Geoff. He also does the mixing for Pentatonix as well as Home Free I believe. According to Layne (beatboxer) he has done mixing for years with acapella groups.

      I have done sound mixing for many years and a cappella is some of the hardest to do. Ed Boyer is truly a master at it. Actual instruments are normally equalized from the beginning and very little is needed in post; just adjusting levels within the mix. With voices, there are so many dynamics and variables to them, a lot more must be done in post... any sound engineer who choses to do a cappella is a masochist, lol.

      In an interview before Layne said that he gets the mix as good as he can himself and then sends it to Ed Boyer to take it to the next level. Early VP was just mixed by Layne. The Bass Gang just started using Ed on their last couple of tracks and yeah it has really taken their sound up a notch as well.

    So glad you're becoming such a fan they truly deserve so much more support. This is so epic I always love Voiceplay but when they go epic it's always incredible. You got to see a lot more demon Eli in this one. The rap was specially written J can always pull off a rap. One of the many good things about being a Patreon for Voiceplay & Geoff is you genuinely see where your money goes. Geoff's new one's out Friday it's beautiful & a lovely video.

    A great reaction. You did your homework and get the depth of their talents. A more knowledge VP fan than I wrote: " Fun fact: Geoff was a decent bass, then, a few years ago, a vocalist published the result of his research on medieval monastic deep singing, during which he rediscovered the lost technics and methods used by the medieval monks to sing really low. In interview Geoff said, when he found the vocalist works, he started training for several months to learn and master those technic. Geoff is really talented, for sure, but make no mistake, his voice deepness and mastery is the result of continuous effort and hard work."

    In My Mother Told Me (Also from Assassin’s Creed), Eli was a beserker. He obviously has recruited the whole group now. Even Cesar was scary. The makeup and a lot of the costuming is from MMTM. Among their tattoos are runes spelling out VoicePlay.
    J was a permanent member from 2017 to 2021 when the Navy recruited him to front one of their bands. I love that they have him returning home in this. He’s been away and now he’s coming back where he belongs.
    Layne did the arrangement and Eli the amazing backgrounds. It was filmed, not green screen, but at a studio with immense (Full wall!) led screens.
    The music during the patron roll is from the karaoke track which is the background vocals and the percussion. It is gorgeous on its own.
    If you are a gamer, they have quite a few covers that might interest you.
    In addition to others mentioned, they’ve also done the following that I’m aware of: We’re Alive from the game Portal, Warriors (originally covered by Imagine Dragons) for League of Legends, a Minecraft mini which is only about a minute long, My Mother Told Me which was used in the game Assassin‘s Creed as well as the television program the Vikings. And of course HALO. In HALO, Scott Porter (who was the original beatboxer) and Layne Stein (who is the current beatboxer) have a little mini duel with red team / blue team and Layne slaps a blue grenade(?) on Scott.
    A long, long time ago they did one of their ACA Top 10’s where they do snippets of 10 songs and they did video game themes.
    I am not a gamer, but the music is amazing.

    I really like your reactions! And I think there’s something special about theater people. There are the outliers-divas and such-but honestly I’ve never felt more at home and connected as I did when I was working in theater. You can feel a commitment to making art, but even more, there’s a commitment to accepting and supporting each other no matter what. AND there’s a sense of playfulness-it’s so important to make it FUN to do this stuff. If you find joy in the work, it shows in the outcome.

      As another comment I saw on a reaction to Oogie Boogie said, they so often fall into a realm that they are too much. Where they seriously feel like they are just showing how powerful they are. It reminds me of a comment about one of the original stars of silent films, where they said "we knew he was going to be a stat from the beginning, because even as a waiter or background person, he felt like the main character". That is Voiceplay... Now with J None back at least part time.

Your emotional immediacy is remarkable. There are folks who stage it, but I never get that impression with you - it's honest. Geoff has a new song dropping on Friday, and I'm excited. For me, I think these guys are a great inspiration for my own creative work, which has nothing to do with music. It's simply inspiring to see people at the top of their form - and really, that's almost impossible to do if you have a manager lopping off bits and pieces to try to make you fit a commercial box. I love VP's integrity.

Also by Voiceplay and similar to this one is My Mother Told Me featuring Jose Rosario Jr, or if your familiar with the games HALO Theme featuring Scott Porter, or Enemy by Imagine Dragons featuring Alexa from League Of Legends, Geoff puts in an unusual sound effect which gives me shivers.

    It might look like you're in the video game because Eli created the backgrounds in Unreal Engine. They filmed in Vu Studios where they have a special camera to track the background behind them. The only real things in the set were the tables/benches they were sitting at and a few props.
    VoicePlay is so fantastic. They do the first build of the song. They arrange it, they record the parts themselves, they produce it, do a basic mix, and then pass it off to Ed Boyer for the final mix. You did not dream that Ed Boyer does the mixing for a lot of a cappella groups; he's apparently the master at it. But where you're hearing things differently is because VoicePlay do all the base work first themselves, so it still has their own flair on the song from the beginning.

But as you said so well, it is the work and creative ethics of both groups that are appealing. I was stagnant (mummified?) listening to 50's to 80's rock until my son sent me a Nightwish link. That rabbit hole led to the Charismatic Voice, which led to Voiceplay, which led to the Bass Gang and so many others. I never expected my musical horizons to expand so much at my age.

It indeed is something to be very much respected and be humbled about. They not only have a lot of talent in their vocals, but also in arranging, editing, costuming, lighting, 3D design, etcetera. All this within just a small crew that's only supported by themselves and their fans. It seems to me to be their passion project; it shows in all their videos.

    You're right. It's all their own work, with a little help on makeup. It's done out of love of what they do. Geoff has said he'd be doing this even if he wasn't doing it as his job. The final mix is done by a professional. He is mentioned in the credits below the title. I can't just think of his name. All their fans are also totally in love with these guys.

    Most of the arrangements are done by either Layne, their beat boxer, or Geoff, Their incredible bass. The talent is incredible. The backgrounds and costumes and makeup are done quite often by Eli (pronounced "L E", short for Eleazer) or Pattycake productions which is owned in part by Layne. Incredible what they do together.

    It is like they got together in the back of a bar or somewhere and said, "We can start off with a chant, move it up to a type of hard ballad, then Elli can let loose his inner rock god, and what the heck, let's throw in some rap! We have everything else in there, why not? Hey, Geoff, the people want subharmonics? Let's give it to them! BOO-YA!"

  • @marshayoung9387
    @marshayoung9387 Рік тому

    The air conditioner in the studio wasn't working it was in the mid 9'ds & the heavy clothing they were wearing made them sweat so bad. That shows true dedication to their fans. Geoff was working on wrecking his voice for about 5 hours before the actual singing just to get the right sound.

    I came here because I saw you reacted to VoicePlay (I am one of their patrons because I love them so much), watched a few reactions and enjoyed them. But hearing that you're falling in love with Nightwish and starting to get similar feelings for VoicePlay let me finally subscribe since those are my two favorite groups (what are the odds) and I look forward to watch your NW reactions and more VP. 😁
    I don't know what it is, but usually reactors who started out with NW also like VP, when they get introduced to them (even the metal heads) and reactors who started out with VP also like NW (although they usually don't listen to metal). Maybe both groups just speak to people with a great music taste who can appreciate the talent (the voices, the compositions/arrangements...) or it's because both draw you in with the passion they perform with and you feel that they love doing what they're doing. I don't know, but I love it, because they prove that you can love music from totally different genres as long as it's awesome.

    Home Free, VoicePlay, and Pentatonix are all good friends and have worked in various ways for each others songs and videos, whether it be arranging songs, lending studio time, or one appearing in another group's video. My Mother Told Me is another Viking video VoicePlay did about a year ago, before Cesar and while J None was still with them, much less intense than this one, which is more berserker. J None, Geoff, Eli, and Layne all have the same face paint in both videos and much the same clothing. Cesar is wearing the same hooded cloak Jose Rosario Jr wore in the first video.
    Miracle of Sound is the stage name of the man who wrote this song. I recommend watching his solo video for this, his duet version featuring Peyton Parrish, and his trio version featuring Peyton Parrish and Eric Hollaway. Man, talk about low bass voices...! Mr. Hollaway will shake your bones in your body.

    Loved your reaction!! All of them were incredible, but I especially loved 'fierce Cesar'! He doesn't get a chance to show his power that often. And even Layne managed to add some grit to his usually sweet, mellow tone during his solo! Eli's verse a couple octaves over everyone else just awed. And of course, Geoff ... well, he Geoffed. Nuff said. Oh, and Miracle of Sound (original artist) left a great complimentary post on their video... he gave them 10 out 10 ale horns!

A bit unrelated but if you want to check out another group that has some pretty satisfying harmonies and also have a unique look/performance check out Steam Powered Giraffe and I would recommend their song "Honeybee".
