Join professional opera singer Elizabeth Zharoff, as she listens to VoicePlay for the first time, performing "The Little Mermaid - Medley” featuring Rachel Potter.
Major kudos to Layne Stein for this awesome arrangement!

A piece of art is really just a bunch of really small ideas all added up, and it's amazing when someone breaks it down in such a positive and thought-out way!
Such a brilliant arrangement, Layne! It was both beautiful and hilarious. You all did an amazing job. I loved the medley before, but hearing Elizabeth break it down made me really appreciate all the finer details. Art indeed.
You did great on this one I hope you arrange more Disney melody's
I’m so happy you watch Elizabeth’s videos of you guys, I haven’t found anyone else who literally picks each section apart so eloquently and meticulously. Is it ever the case that you’re, like, oh yeah, that was a fortunate accident, or are you literally thinking out every little thing in that much detail? Something I always wondered in English Literature classes back at school, writing essays on the tiniest things you notice in the text and wondering if the writer genuinely meant every last one of them... Layne, Elizabeth, I’m a big fan of both of you. Thank you for bringing me into this world!
Oh and also you guys wouldn’t it be just awesome if you collab’d on something? There must be something you guys can put together!! Very exciting! Please, please, thank you 🙏🏼
You're amazing layne cheers from brazil
"very clearly with that seashell necklace"
Not the fact that he's purple then Elizabeth? 😂
I was about to comment the same thing! 😝
Nah, couldn’t possibly.....
what if he just wanted to be purple this time around huh ? HUH ? XD
Nah. Geoff just does that sometimes.
Didn’t you know his natural skin tone is purple?
Geoff looking like the guy who always takes Halloween more seriously than everyone else.
Yea xdd
He probably really does
And he slays when he does
He does Jacks Lament, he’s amazing
yo, put a warning, I spit my coffee on my computer.
"It takes a confident man to seagull." 🤣
Eli is definitely confident in what he does, lol.
Wise words of a wise woman
Oh, I can seagull. Not in a good way. Real seagulls are very anti-tonic. If you hear something that you think is a seagull and is also in tone, then it’s not a real seagull.
Trust me, none of y’all want to hear me seagull. Not even when I’m trying my best to keep it in tone as much as I can.
Indeed. 😂
Or just a very gullible one lol.
Sixteen Tons by Geoff Castellucci is incredible
yup it is
I... JUST... got that song out of my head 😑
dear god please uhhh its so good
I've watched Sixteen Tons like 50 times, it's so great and Geoff is so creative in it! Best choice!
Absolutely!!!
I think my favorite part of Eli "seagulling with confidence" was the sideways glances that Layne and Geoff give to "offscreen seagull Eli".
yes that was hysterical
I had to go back to that bit three times lol
27:09 and 27:32 If you look, we see Rachel, Layne, and Geoff staring at "offscreen seagull Eli" with looks of concern and confusion. Pretty sure J-None was as well, he too was just offscreen.
Edit: Never mind we do see J-None about half a second later also staring.
I will never not laugh at that part
@@macgyver42563 Even Eli as Flounder was looking at Eli as Scuttle lmao. Everyone was like, wtf bro.
Anyone else wondering why Elizabeth didn't mention Geoff's insane slide?
She mentioned in the live chat
im floored that she didnt.
that was high but she only mentiond the beat in the background
Too much happening. As it is you can see her slowly die from sensory overload as the video progresses.
The inaudible register changes are incredible.
“It takes a confident man to seagull.” I don’t know how, but somehow I am going to use that in a conversation someday. As often as possible, actually.
I love how when Jay sings the bassy "Sing it wit' me now!" at the end, Geoff looks back at him with shifty eyes like, "Did you just...?"
Sadly I've watched this video more than 20 times and never realized it was j none singing it! Thanks for pointing it out. 😊
But... Geoff sang it. Like i rewatched the original video about 10 times now to figure out which part you are talking about but the only "sing it with me now" i find is definitely and visibly sang by Geoff
@@hawxgear5859 30:40 Take a closer look.
@@solaran90 Thanks for that, must've overwatched it due to that amazing high riff from Rachel ;)
He looks so offended.
Elizabeth talks so.. carefully and measured compared to a lot of youtubers. It's a great thing, I'm normally used to UA-camrs that go "HEYYYYY WHAT'S UP GUYS ITS YA BOI KFDJLFKJAKDLKA" and that gets a little annoying sometimes.
Thank you, Collin! I notice that too, and want to be different than the mainstream.
I like watching videos of people reacting to songs and musical arrangements. But I think the reason why I enjoy watching this channel more than the other vocal coach reactions is that you seem genuinely happy and excited when you watch those clips. As I watch you react, sometimes it feels like I'm watching a child opening a Christmas present, joyful and pure and I think it's AWESOME to have that real positivity in your videos !
I'm a big fan of Rachel Potter and VoicePlay, and I enjoy it even more watching them through your videos, like a optimistic lens that enhances each talent you react to !
Keep doing what you're doing, your work is incredible !
Exactly! Watching her is like watching a child on christmas! She just loves all the little things!
Taking delight in her delight.
It’s great right? That’s why I like her and Hannah B. (Your vocal coach).Such fun to watch the reactions
J mimicking Geoff's "sing it with me now" and Geoff's subsequent "whut?" face gives me the giggles every time (during the last belt by rachel)
Geoff's "Shenandoah" is amazing!!
It makes sense for Rachel to sing the later Ursula version because, by that point, Ursula has stolen Ariel's voice.
Yes! Rachel even changes the way she sings to characterize each of them differently, you can see it in her posture when she goes back to Ariel.
The voice actor for Ariel plays Ursula-as-human (I forget her name) in the film too, so there's even precedent.
@@Cbyneorne human-ursula's name is vanessa!!
Elizabeth always reacts like a kid on Christmas morning who just got her favorite present. If there were more people like her, the world would be a lot happier (I know I would be). Love her!
I love how each pause landed on a frame that's ridiculous without context.
I mean 'knowing' where to pause is her superpower.
Not gonna lie. I nearly screamed when she paused before Geoff's wail at the end of "Poor Unfortunate Souls." Great analysis as always though. Love the depth from your videos.
I loved Layne in this one. His vocal percussion is so creative. Then you've got the chef - is he really safe to be left in the kitchen with knives around? We don't get to hear it much in VoicePlay, but he's got a wonderful singing voice.
J is such a fun noodle of a human being. He's definitely taken the role of the goofy child of the group (to Mom and Dad Geoff and Layne, and older brother Eli XD), and he's just so full of fun energy and silliness. Its nearly impossible to not smile while watching him
I would also recommend watching some of PattyCake Productions' Unexpected Musicals; the company is run by Layne and former VP member Tony, and the production value that goes into those is downright incredible.
Geoff's solo rendition of Blackbird is absolutely beautiful! And he really showcases his full, entire vocal range through it. People get wow'd by a 4-octave range. Geoff replies: "Pathetic."
I love how Geoff stays in "vaguely feminine evil" character the whole time.
Layne’s performance was spectacular and seamless in this medley! Can’t wait to see your reaction! 😁
I remember Rachel Potter when she was in Nashville tending bar trying to find a break on AGT. I'm so glad to see her here.
Voiceplay - Bang (ft. Deejay Young) is just brilliant! Thank you for the in-depth look at this arrangement, it was superb.
I would love to see your reaction to Geoff's Sixteen tons.
Love watching the enjoyment you get in doing reactions, it’s like watching someone opening presents on Christmas morning.
Now you HAVE to watch VoicePlay‘s Frozen 2 Medley. One of my favorites.
And to finally make the full „Nightmare before Christmas“ experience complete you have to watch their rendition of „Kidnap the Sandy Claus“.
Yay she’s done it!!!
"The welling of extra eye water" is what I'm calling crying from now on
Pause the video as much as you like Elizabeth! I love when you point out stuff that makes me go back and listen to it a million more times! Your reactions are wonderful and make the videos even better. I love Voiceplay and to have you break them down and compliment them on so many different skills show how they (and you) have such a grasp on music.
Now you need to listen to "Superstition" and "Mr. Grinch" (Geoff leads!)!
Please do their “Carry On My Wayward Son”. It’ll blow you away!
Strong agree. I am looking forward to this reaction more any any other.
Yes!
Saving people, hunting things, the family business
1) VoicePlay knocks it out of the park again 2) Them Sound effects. (O.o) dang 3) The geeking out and giggles were a joyful addition as well hahaha
Let's just talk about how high Geoff goes in his part
Did you listen to Geoff reading the original little mermaid? To long for a reaction video but you have to listen to it. It’s so great.
this^
Must find…
@@amandacurtis7245 it's on his own personal channel, he has several audio books he has made
I was thrilled to see this across my feed!! This was a blast!
I second the requests for Geoff's Sixteen Tons!
Fun fact: the purple glow in Geoff's eyes was not edited in, he just forgor to mute his spell and they decided to leave it in. I'm fairly confident mans is an actual dark sorcerer who steals people's voices. He goes and talks to Tim Foust and then his bass range suddenly expands like 1.5 octaves. He hangs around female singers and hits a D5. Coincidence? I think not. The funny thing is, why would Ursula need Ariel's voice if she already had a range like that? Mans could probably do the entire voice stealing motif instead of Rachel and no one would notice
Sooooo much fun watching you geek out to voiceplay
I’d love to see you respond to Voiceplay’s Queen in 5 Minutes. It’s absolutely amazing and the vocal elements but also all the facial expressions and interaction between all the characters is worth multiple watchings. You can almost see the personalities and rivalries between these characters that have been developed in such a short time. These folks are phenomenal singers and darned impressive actors, too.
Ooohhhh Yeahhhhh!
I am looking forward to this soooo much!
I am especially looking forward to your reaction to Geoff’s part and his insane D5 - D2 slide with the subharmonic D1 layered below!
Surprisingly, she didn't mention it. :(
Btw, are you sure the D1 is layered? I thought Geoff slid from D5 to D1.
@@niarudle She reacted to it in the Live chat and somebody mentioned the D1 so it’s fine.
The D1 is 100% layered. He sings D5-D2. That’s why you hear a clear D2. The D1 is in the karaoke track on VoicePlay‘s Patreon so it‘s an extra background feature. I believe Geoff said at some point that the slide had to be 3 octaves instead of 4 because a 4 octave slide would have been too rushed in the short time. So D5-D2 + D1 it is.
It's D5-D2 slide with subharmonic D1 layered. You can only hear D1 in isolated version, so the D1 is recorded on the other track and layered below D2.
@@jmbmusic1 Oh, you explained it :)
@@hayatropical Yes I did :)
This was pure joy. I could listen to you talk about VoicePlay all day. :D
Hi Elizabeth, I'm really glad you got back to VoicePlay and their rendition of, "The Little Mermaid." Eli and J None did a fantastic job, Rachel was amazing and beautiful as Ariel, Geoff was incredible as Ursula/Bass, and Layne's performance was especially outstanding as the percussionist/beatboxer. Thank you, Elizabeth, for this Terrific Tuesday!!! ❤
You're very much welcome Kirby!
I NEED that “pathetic” clip for my big bad evil guys soundboard...
That “pathetic” would make a humorous ringtone!
@@boominator64 especially if some ex put it for a guy or like a boss put it for a toady haha
Everyone loves Geoff Castellucci! Please react to "High and Dry" by Geoff on his own channel! (Also Hellfire by Tomi Pizur)
tbh i dont like his high and dry hes has done so much better than that one.
@@bensnow3744 he did try for a different style than he usually goes for, so I can see how some people prefer his other works. It's my personal favorite, cool if you don't like that one
@@tex6924 Same. I think he absolutely killed it!
Tomi love!
I think you will have so much fun watching their boys band medley. I totally Love it ❤
I really do. A cappella is a very strong love of mine, next to Kirk's cooking and fantasy.
“...extra eye water, I guess that’s tears.” 🥰j’adore.
VoicePlay kinda recently released a cover of Bang! ft Deejay Young and its so much fun. Eli, JNone, and Deejay do a beautiful 3-part harmonized run, Layne's beatboxing is incredible as always, and Geoff once again drops the bass like its nothing. You have to check it out!
I love your reactions you and bass singer reacts are my favorite. I was really surprised that you did not mention the Chris Cornellesque notes that Geoff hit. Your joy in watching this was so heart warming and contagious!
I love this medley, and already watched it a zillion times, so I didn't mind the pauses. The amazing thing was watching you, your enthusiasm, how much fun the little kid inside of you was having! And I learned a whole bunch of things thanks to you!
This was an awesome reaction, thank you!
No one hand Layne a cleaver please. It does things with his head 😱🙃
AHAHAHAHA!
I love watching your reactions - you give such a detailed breakdown on what you're hearing, and it's clear that you're enjoying every bit of it. I'm especially delighted by how you bring attention to not just what's going on with whomever is singing lead, but also what's going on in the background vocals (plus, it's great to hear Layne getting his due recognition!). You've gotten me to be a more active listener to music, and it's amazing how many little touches are there when I pay attention to the details. You're really helping me bring fresh ears to songs I've heard.
I will say, I'd love to hear what you think of Voiceplay's Queen in 5 Minutes or Boy Bands in 5 Minutes. Their medleys are so well arranged (well, you know that), and their transitions are so smooth, they've spoiled me for other mashups.
@29:00 If anyone wants to read/hear the original fairy tale, Geoff read it recently on his solo UA-cam channel. Of course it's amazing. And a whole hour of Geoff. Who doesn't want that.
Elizabeth, you are adorable! Not only do you go deeper into it than any other reactor, but your joy and love of music is infectious, too.
I'm so delighted to find someone else who truly appreciates that work as much as I do. And it was even more pleasurable to get a very personal and similarly detailed experience being relayed back to me. This added to a piece of passion that was already over the top and a rare thing to encounter in life. It helps that you are quite spunky and joyful too. Thank you!
“It takes a confident man to seagull...just sayin...’” 😂😂
I love the way you break these down, I miss so much! Thank you!
*I can feel the welling of extra eye water.... I guess that's tears* Indeed Elizabeth, indeed.
Thanks for helping me appreciate all of the amazing details in this arrangement!
Seeing the pure joy you get out of this music video just makes me smile. It's definitely one of my favorite medlies that they've done
really need to see the Kidnap Mr Sandy Claws they did with rachel potter, lots of character voices.
I love watching vocal coaches and singers/songwriters react to Voiceplay or Geoff’s solo stuff because hearing someone who’s a professional in this field get into the nitty gritty of why its so good makes me think of things a lot differently and I find that really cool
I really love your enthusiasm and joy you have while reacting to videos. It is so much fun watching you enjoying it.
Finally! I've been waiting for this reaction. I LOVE this rendition by Voiceplay
I love the way I’ve listened to VoicePlay so often, but each time I watch one of these vids I learn so much and hear things I never noticed before
Loved your reaction and analysis! VoicePlay is always a joy to listen to. They're all incredibly talented, and I have immense respect for how they do their own arranging and production. For reaction suggestions, I'll throw out their Frozen 2 Medley, Can't Help Falling in Love, Boy Bands in 5 Minutes (because it's hilarious) and Kidnap the Sandy Claws. Also, basically anything on Geoff's solo channel is great - Blackbird and Sixteen Tons are awesome.
I want reactions and break downs of all of voice plays work cause theres so much in every song
You are so good at catching every detail! I love it.
I have seen couple of other "reaction" video to this Little Mermaid Medley.
sure ... yours I think the longest duration, *HOWEVER*, I think with your background and experience as Vocal Coach, not only you understand the dynamic of emotion they played with their vocal (or voice; hence, "voiceplay" 😊), and your reaction to it while that particular note/sound being played, made it much more relevant and pleasant.
thanks, and well done 👍👍👍
You should check out some of Layne and Geoff's solo stuff.
wait they have one?
Love Geoff’s solo stuff. I feel like I live on his channel some days ☺️ haven’t seen much of Layne’s though but would love to.
On Geoff's Channel he actually reads the fairytale version of the little mermaid :D
and an amazing version of "The Raven"
Who does not love the Little Mermaid. When I was helping out at the GF's day care employer back in the day. The kids would want to sing these songs EVERY day. So looking forward to your reaction.
"The GF"?
@@burntvirtue Girlfriend
As with a lot of songs that are featured on your channel, three times is the number that you have to watch them. First you watch the song "like this one " and come away with I like it. Then you watch it with your reactions of joy and pleasure. Plus your analysis as to why you find it so joyful and the effort that went into the making it. The third time you go back and apply the knowledge and insight given to me by you and you come away with that was great ! Thank You. (one of these times I'll have to tell what else I need to thank you for)
12:55 I love Elizabeth’s reaction to the eels. It’s the exact reaction you’d expect to see from Ariel in that moment. Love it!
Been waiting along time for this one! It is my all time fave from them!
Me before this video: 😡😡🐍🐍👊👊👿 👿
"Welcome back to the Charismatic Voice."
Me from that point on: 😍😊😆😎🐙
This channel introduced me to the awesomeness that is Voiceplay so I've been waiting for you to react to this. It was definitely worth the wait. I know some people get annoyed by frequent pausing, but, you pause when you are interested in or excited by something, and Voiceplay's music is full of interesting and exciting moments AND an excited and interested Elizabeth is what we're here for!
Or, to sum it up: "did we like it?"
"Yes indeed."
Such fantastic characterization in voice and visuals! Love!!!!!
I love how enthusiastic you are!
I love this video so much!! Also love Rachel's voice!! I still go back to this one video of her singing
I know what you're doing in the thumbnail but it still looks hilarious. A new chapter to the Thumbnail Song.
Looking forward to this; you are definitely one of my top 5 "feel good" channels.
I know it's not Christmas anymore, but if you like Layne's French accent you've gotta check out their You're A Mean One Mr. Grinch 😂
You giggled like a child a few times. That was adorable. Good reaction again.
I just love watching your videos. You're always so happy and it radiates to me. Thank you
@TheCharismaticVoice Geoff posted his narration of “The Little Mermaid” audiobook on his channel.
I came here specifically to comment this! 🧜♀️🧜♂️🧜
You were correct. The effect you were talking about was indeed a flanger.
Ive been watching your videos for a while now and im just always blown away by how great your hair looks in EVERY video lol
“Extra eye water.” Yeah, I get that too sometimes, in fact I’m going to use it from now on. “I’m not crying, it’s extra eye water, that’s all!”
I love your analysis so much
Your smile and joy in listening to these songs make it a pleasure to watch you.
That was so fun! I haven't laughed aloud with a reactor in a long time. Thanks for that!
I'm stealing that line the next time I see a sad video. "They aren't tears, it's just extra eye water!"
K.D. Lang - Hallelujah live at the 2005 Juno Awards
Absolutely one of the best renditions of Hallelujah ever. lots of passion and a great voice to boot
It is so nice to see someone else get chills with Voice Play and Geoff's low notes!
Absolutely love your enthusiasm and insight
"The welling of extra eye water. I guess that's tears." Best description ever. 😉
Girl! You're having too much fun...I love it!!
Yes!!! So happy about this reaction!
by far best reaction and more importantly for me analysis. The amount of new idiosyncrasies that I hadn't picked up on before, amazing. like the panning @ 25:04.
Holy smokes Elizabeth!!!!! I’ve been watching your reactions for a while now...You caught my eye several months ago cuz you look like my sister...I thought you were just a vocal coach/singer.. anyway, I just found a performance of yours...geez you’re a VERY powerful soprano!! Wow!! Totally blew my mind!
Thank you! Yes, but I don't like to flaunt it. I'm glad people have gone out and found some of my work, though. :-)
Yay! Finally! I've been waiting for your reaction to this one :).
I love how excited she gets on just key changes and riffs!😂
Everything by Voiceplay is an absolute masterpiece. I will not be persuaded otherwise lol. Most of the disney stories are very very dark in origin, violent, bloody, death.. I learned that doing folklore in high school, it was fascinating.
Such wholesome delight. I love it.
