These guys are the definition of excellence! Every video is so well done and the vocals are always insane! They bring so much to the table 🤯
the amount of skill and talent between these guys is astonishing. a lot of their skills have been acquired through necessity, hiring people to do work for them is expensive and they were on a very strict budget, and a very strict schedule, so they learned how to do it themselves. but when you pair those technical skills with their endless amount of creativity, you get a winning combination.
Absolutely! Sometimes you gotta learn how to do things yourself or they will never happen! Just so happens they didn’t scrape by, but are doing top tier work in all aspects!
@@setonhillstudios yeah, the guys never settle for passable. they always are working on improving themselves. Eli worked and studied for many months figuring out how to automate the lighting, and even now, years later, he's still working on gaining new skills both in lighting and UE5 design. they're all like that. always learning new stuff, always trying to get better, always picking up tips and tricks from others.
@@huldradraco And they also share what they learn, with groups like Home Free, and vice versa, at least from what I've seen! They're just really good guys!
Have you caught their cover of Valhalla Calling? The song was based on Assassin’s Creed:Valhalla.
If you like costuming and production, you’ll want to see that.
Haven’t seen that yet but will definitely have to check it out! Thanks so much for the suggestion!
Omar is the archer here. Cesar is wearing real chain mail (heavy). Speaking of drum kits, Chicago heard them do Nothing Else Matters (Metallica) and contacted them to join them onstage on their Chicago and Friends concert (last Nov 17-18). One of their stagehands came up to Eli and asked where they wanted to set up the drum kit. Eli just pointed to Layne and told him Layne was the drum kit. Huldra Draco (one of VP's patrons) was there and used her phone to bring back some of the stuff VoicePlay did. They could make more money by having someone like Sony run it; however, what they would lose is most of the creativity which would be managed by someone else and that would be intolerable to all of them. They are insanely talented and it means so much to them. Please do some more of VoicePlay. We will be here for that!
Thanks so much for the info! That’s hilarious about the drums 🤣 He covers the whole drum kit without one! Voiceplay is a staple here on the channel as we’ve covered quite a bit of their stuff. Go to our homepage and under the playlist ‘Bands • Groups’ you can find more of their stuff! Have a great one!
@@setonhillstudios Will do!
Last fall Voiceplay did a couple concerts with Chicago. (Soon to be released in theaters and then streaming). Although the guys from Chicago had heard one of their recordings they hadn’t realized they were acapella. So when they were setting up for rehearsal, Chicago’s drummer asked where their drummer was going to set up. They just pointed to Layne and said he’s sitting there.
😂🤣 That’s hilarious! They are such a phenomenal group and so fun to watch and listen to! Have a great day! 😄
Voiceplay, the Theater Kids of the UA-cam Acapella Trinity! They do awesome sets and costumes, as does Geoff on his on, and yet they don't need them to make a fantastic video! They can do that just sitting on stools and singing. They deserve a billion fans! They're so good! Oh, just a tip...among the "rules" (suggestions, really) for listening to Voiceplay, one is to keep the CC on. Sometimes they explain things, sometimes they have funny little bits in them., so they're worth seeing. Kathy, Geoff's amazing wife has hearing loss, so they really care about things like that. It's awesome.
That’s right! Several people have suggested doing that and I just forgot!
@@setonhillstudios I actually have a set of "rules" (suggestions really) that I've put together as a Voiceplaya. If you're interested I can post them.
Like this and their cover of the HALO theme. They also just did a WARFRAME cover of Sleeping In The Cold Below. Geoff said he went a little overboard with costumes in this one. Cesar is wearing twenty pounds of chainmail. He had to lay down on the floor in between takes to rest. Rick Underwood did his makeup magic. They are using the PattyCake Productions set from the Villians Lair.
20 pounds?!? That is insane! Yeah that might be alittle excessive BUT the final product was amazing! Thanks for swinging by!
Definitely one of my favourite videos from VoicePlay,. Stunning. And I'm no gamer. Yes they do it all. Patrons gets to see BTS videos showing a lot of what goes on. We saw Cesar having to lie on the floor between takes as the heavy chainmail was hurting his shoulders. Dedication! But the funniest moment was him and Geoff doeing some ballet moves in their costumes. :) And I totally agree, they are multi-talented and so imaginative.
Such an amazing video! Everything about it was spectacular!
Love the harmonies - and Eli's pure voice... he also did the lighting if I'm not mistaken. Omar is awesome - he joined VP as they performed as one of Chicago's guest bands during their 40th celebrations last November. They killed it. 🌹🕊
Wow! Thats super cool! And you’re right about those harmonies! Just perfection!
Just a great reaction!!! It is so good when someone points out and appreciates all the work and talent that goes into these videos. Thank you very much!!!
Thanks so much for watching! They are just an incredible group that continues to blow my mind! Phenomenal!
I will say that those low thumping sounds were actually digital sounds. VP confirmed that for this song specifically, and they said that they will add very minimal digital sound effects if it positively enhances the overall atmosphere they are trying to achieve. They are also very open about the fact that they will occasionally do vocal parts that have post-processing to give a certain sound they can’t achieve naturally.
Ah ok, that’s cool that they’re open about that! Either way, it doesn’t take away from the amazing performance for me!
I've never understood people being upset over something extra added to a song, that they can't do. To me it's just a part of their creativity, like the lighting, costumes, make -up and any thing else that goes into making this music we can enjoy. They always seem to do what is right for the song and it doesn't limit what they are able to sing.
@@terib470 I 💯 agree!
VoicePlay is incredible! Omar was a finalist on The Voice a couple of seasons ago, he is an amazing vocalist! As is his brother who sings with the acapella group, Voctave ❤
Oh wow, that’s awesome!
Omar's brother, EJ Cardona has also appeared in a few VP videos - my favourite is 'I Can't Make You Love Me'..!
@@raycardy4843 He’s only been in 2 that I know of. The one you mentioned and also Go the Distance. If you know of others please let me know. I love EJ!
The theatrics really set them apart from other Accapella groups, or just singing groups in general. Not only do you get an amazing song with superb vocals you also get full story (even when their just standing/sitting.
Thanks for the reaction. 😊
Thanks so much for watching! I completely agree! It’s so much more than just a vocal performance, it’s an experience! Have a great one! 😁
The song that made me learn the subharmonic technique. In the beginning, Geoff starts on an E1 subharmonic (the lowest note on a 4-string bass) and then drops to a C#1 subharmonic (two semitones higher than a B0). I am a low bass naturally, but Geoff changed everything and how I sing lower forever.
That is absolutely unreal! Such talent and pushing the boundaries! They did an amazing job with this one! Thanks for watching!
Ain't No Sunshine introduced me to Geoff Castellucci. Then I found out he was the bass for Voiceplay.
This was my introduction to Voiceplay.
That’s awesome! We found VoicePlay first and then discovered his solo channel, but it’s all amazing!
@@setonhillstudios
Yes they are. That's why I've been a Voiceplayer fan for 2 years, are on theirs and Geoff's patreons and photos all over my bedroom walls even though I'm 64 years old 😊
@@jackyfriedman1963 same but I regularly lie about my age! Cheers!!
@@daletimberlake8109
I'm proud of my age. Always have been. I have never ever lied about it.
It's who I am. I'm a 64 year old woman who is disabled and lives with my daughter 😉😊. Life happens and I go with the flow of it.
They also covered Enemy from Arcane League of Legends by Imagine Dragons.
It was during COVID and featured AleXa who was in South Korea during filming so they popped her unto the scene and it works so well.
I never played the game but they say her character is supposed to be slightly insane. Seems like she nailed it.
Voiceplay is the best!!
They’re incredible! Never disappointed when you load up any of their videos!
This is one of theirs more visually striking videos. I’m not a gamer, but this led me to Jeremy Soules and I listen to the game soundtrack often. For the last couple years they have used the music from the karaoke track in the outro. It’s equally stunning in its own way, and as a patron I can listen to the entire karaoke track. I don’t have musical training and I have a hard time picking things out sometimes. Listening to the karaoke track and then going back and re-listening opens up a whole new world sometimes.
This was filmed at PattyCake Productions, owned by Layne (beatboxer) and Tony Wakim who was the baritone for 7 or 8 years. They put a great deal of importance in setting the correct mood.
Omar was on The Voice (I believe last year) and he finished fourth. He and Cesar (the two elves) were roommates and they are best friends. He was in one of the first videos of theirs I saw: Wayward Son. He has been in a number of videos and quite a few of their minis. He also has a band of his own. His voice is so pure, almost angelic. But he sounds way different in their cover of Aerosmith’s Dream On!
Omar‘s brother EJ is also an incredible singer. He is a tenor for the a cappella group Voctave which is more of a choral group (at least in my opinion). There are maybe 8- 10 members. Beautiful music with a totally different sound. EJ has performed with VoicePlay in two different videos so far: Go to the Distance from the Disney movie Hercules, and Can’t Make you Love Me.
Cesar, EJ and EJ’s wife Lindsay (a member of the vocal group American Sirens) also form the basis for a couple of different groups that perform at Epcot regularly. Totally different vibe again.
Wow, thanks for all the info!
I've never been a gamer and this kinda makes me want to be if the music is this epic.
Haha 🤣 I know right! If nothing else, you can be jamming out!
Did you catch the scales Geoffe does at 8:10? It's an Easter egg. It's the original Midi tune for Final Fantasy on the original NES. Makes us old school gamers nerd out.
Oh snap! I have to go back and watch that again! So cool! 😎
"I love that vocal chord!" LOL! I see what you did there!
Unintentional, but it worked out! 🤣
@@setonhillstudios Ah, yes Grasshopper! The lure of the "Dad Joke" is strong and sly!
This one is awesome, one of my favourites (along with 'Hoist The Colours') of their 'theatrical covers! Yes, they do almost everything themselves - with the exceptions of Rick Underwood (and his team) when more advanced makeup/prosthetics are required, sometimes an additional steadicam operator - and the final audio mix by Ed Boyer (who also works with Home Free, PTX, and other acapella groups). Usually either Geoff or Layne will do the arrangement, concept, costuming, video editing, etc., although this year Eli will be rotating with them on arrangement duties to spread the load!
Unfortunately, apart from some specials (like the Chicago concert last year) they no longer tour, due to family commitments (Layne has daughters, Geoff a young son - and Eli and his wife a recent baby boy) and their production schedules for these videos - but these just keep getting better and better! 😊
Thanks for checking out the video and giving us all that insight and info! They’re always a pleasure to watch!
You will notice Geoff does not participate in the chant. They didn't want to bring the dragon. Also I use shure in ear monitors, great isolation ans response!
They are great ain’t they!? Yeah, can’t unleash him! 😁 Thanks for watching!
Omar also joins VoicePlay for Ma-Na Ma-Na and it's really cute. One of the best beatboxer numbers (if you haven't done it yet) is Home Free's Drum Solo. The guy get a little break to go off stage for a few minutes while Adam Rupp wows us with his drums prowess followed by by a scratch session. Since it's a live concert piece everyone is slightly different. In the original video (2015 or 16) he's wearing the red plaid shirt. then watch a later one (2022 or later) and see how much he's improved.
We’ve got a video up on the channel of one of his drum solos, it was fantastic! Thanks for hanging with us and checking out this video!
Absolutely incredible!!
They’re so good! Thanks for checking out the video!
Cesar's chainmail, is the real deal...weighed 25 lbs......
That is wild! 😂🤣 I wouldn’t be able to move in all that! Loved this performance though!
Voiceplay is premiering their new video at noon est today, Friday the 19th.... Black Hole Sun.
It's amazing.
That’s awesome, have to check it out!
VP is my far and away favourite a cappella group. Their videos are always impressive. You should also check out
The Bass Gang's If I Had a Heart. Another stellar performance for you to enjoy. You'll definitely want your best headphones for them.
They’re so talented! Thanks for the suggestion on Bass Gang, we’ll have to check them out!
I think I might have identified which one is the Dragonborn
🤣😂🤣 I think I’m with you!
