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.
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 🙏🏼
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.
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 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 !
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
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.
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
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.
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 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.
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!)!
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."
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!
@@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.
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!
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“.
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.
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!
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.
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!
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!!! ❤
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.
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
What's crazy is this video could have easily been twice as long, because there are so many fun or amazing little bits that went by without comment. Geoff's epic slide from 19:17 to 19:22, Rachel's little Mariah Careying of the word "be" @ 30:32, and many more I know I've forgotten. And I wouldn't've cared that it was that long, either. VoicePlay (and your reactions to them) is just so delightful!
@@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
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.
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)
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.
@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.
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!
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.
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 👍👍👍
I absolutely love voice play. Truly an entertaining group. I have cochlear implant in my left ear and I am using it to hear the range that I don’t normally hear with my hearing aid in my right ear. Today I am using only the cochlear implant and I actually can hear every bit of the rich tone, the highs and lows and the deepest deep that Geoff can only produce! That deep tone made the back of my hair stand up and I felt the incredible tingling all over! Jay’s voice is my favorite, but then to hear Eli blew me away. I had to replay the video a few times to hear Lane’s percussion. This is MUSIC to my ear!! Love it!
I really enjoy how you break down these performances. I love your facial expressions they show how much you enjoy the parts and how you get surprised at parts. As for fairy tails most originally are dark and were reconstructed due to people not wanting to "scar" our kids and decreases the effectiveness of the lesson of the fable.
I just discovered you yesterday. Watching you has me grinning and misty eyed. So nice watching you and your facial expressions when you are discovering. Earlier I watched your reaction to Hurt by Johnny Cash. I've been a lifelong fan and likely recognized more references in there but yeah...very powerful. Thanks for doing what you do!
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!
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!
I know it hasn't gotten a ton of views but Bang! by VoicePlay is just so good. Crazy runs/harmonies, and they featured a new (to them) singer, DeeJay I think? Anyone else absolutely floored by it?
I finally decided to subscribe to your channel! Your analysis was so informative, and I learned so much each time you paused the video and explained another vocal fact that I didn't know. I have a degree in music from Juilliard in flute, but don't know much about voice. I REALLY enjoyed expanding my musical knowledge. Even though I felt a little bit inferior because I couldn't hear all the things that you noticed! So I kept bouncing from WOW VoicePlay is incredible--do not interrupt them to WOW! your insights are incredible to WOW! I can't keep up with all your insights. Bounce Bounce Bounce. I have to subscribe to learn more! You are great. VoicePlay is great. Can't wait for more reactions.
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're amazing layne cheers from brazil
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.
"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?
"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.
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.
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 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
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.

Mans could probably do the entire voice stealing motif instead of Rachel and no one would notice
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.
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 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 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!
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!!
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.
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!!
Layne’s performance was spectacular and seamless in this medley! Can’t wait to see your reaction! 😁
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.
Love watching the enjoyment you get in doing reactions, it’s like watching someone opening presents on Christmas morning.
Voiceplay - Bang (ft. Deejay Young) is just brilliant! Thank you for the in-depth look at this arrangement, it was superb.
I love how Geoff stays in "vaguely feminine evil" character the whole time.
I love how each pause landed on a frame that's ridiculous without context.
I mean 'knowing' where to pause is her superpower.
I was thrilled to see this across my feed!! This was a blast!
I second the requests for Geoff's Sixteen Tons!
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.
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!)!
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
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."
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 an awesome reaction, thank you!
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“.

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 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 👍👍👍
Been waiting along time for this one! It is my all time fave from them!
I love this video so much!! Also love Rachel's voice!! I still go back to this one video of her singing
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!
Such fantastic characterization in voice and visuals! Love!!!!!
You are s much fun to watch. You bring joy just from how much excitement you show for your field of work. Super cutie! 😊
Yes!!! So happy about this reaction!
I love how enthusiastic you are!
“It takes a confident man to seagull...just sayin...’” 😂😂
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.
I absolutely love voice play. Truly an entertaining group. I have cochlear implant in my left ear and I am using it to hear the range that I don’t normally hear with my hearing aid in my right ear. Today I am using only the cochlear implant and I actually can hear every bit of the rich tone, the highs and lows and the deepest deep that Geoff can only produce! That deep tone made the back of my hair stand up and I felt the incredible tingling all over! Jay’s voice is my favorite, but then to hear Eli blew me away. I had to replay the video a few times to hear Lane’s percussion. This is MUSIC to my ear!! Love it!
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
You giggled like a child a few times. That was adorable. Good reaction again.
I really enjoy how you break down these performances. I love your facial expressions they show how much you enjoy the parts and how you get surprised at parts. As for fairy tails most originally are dark and were reconstructed due to people not wanting to "scar" our kids and decreases the effectiveness of the lesson of the fable.
It is so nice to see someone else get chills with Voice Play and Geoff's low notes!
You are so good at catching every detail! I love it.
I just discovered you yesterday. Watching you has me grinning and misty eyed. So nice watching you and your facial expressions when you are discovering. Earlier I watched your reaction to Hurt by Johnny Cash. I've been a lifelong fan and likely recognized more references in there but yeah...very powerful. Thanks for doing what you do!
I love your analysis so much
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. :-)
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."
On Geoff's Channel he actually reads the fairytale version of the little mermaid :D
and an amazing version of "The Raven"
I know it hasn't gotten a ton of views but Bang! by VoicePlay is just so good. Crazy runs/harmonies, and they featured a new (to them) singer, DeeJay I think? Anyone else absolutely floored by it?
No one hand Layne a cleaver please. It does things with his head 😱🙃
AHAHAHAHA!
I want reactions and break downs of all of voice plays work cause theres so much in every song
You were correct. The effect you were talking about was indeed a flanger.
@TheCharismaticVoice Geoff posted his narration of “The Little Mermaid” audiobook on his channel.
I came here specifically to comment this! 🧜♀️🧜♂️🧜
Yay! Finally! I've been waiting for your reaction to this one :).
“...extra eye water, I guess that’s tears.” 🥰j’adore.
I just love watching your videos. You're always so happy and it radiates to me. Thank you
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
Girl! You're having too much fun...I love it!!
Honestly any of geoffs solo stuff is INSANE. He hasn't put out anything I haven't liked yet and each brings something completely new to the table.
YES! I've wanted you to react to this one since the day it came out
All of this track is incredible, but Rachel's bit after Geoff says 'sing' makes the hair on my arms stand up.. It's just beautiful.
I finally decided to subscribe to your channel! Your analysis was so informative, and I learned so much each time you paused the video and explained another vocal fact that I didn't know. I have a degree in music from Juilliard in flute, but don't know much about voice. I REALLY enjoyed expanding my musical knowledge. Even though I felt a little bit inferior because I couldn't hear all the things that you noticed! So I kept bouncing from WOW VoicePlay is incredible--do not interrupt them to WOW! your insights are incredible to WOW! I can't keep up with all your insights. Bounce Bounce Bounce. I have to subscribe to learn more! You are great. VoicePlay is great. Can't wait for more reactions.
