Never doubt Sean?????? He's a hardcore fanatic! Lol, hey Sean 😁
Mitch is a counter-tenor, Scott is a baritone who can slip into 2nd tenor or bass beside his natural register! His tessitura is incredibly huge!
Scott is actually a baritone, but he has a huge range. He covers the bass when the bass singer has the lead, but can also sing high notes and harmonize up there with Mitch and Kirstin.
And yes - there are mics for the three singers too... just out of shot at the side and/or above.
Recommendations:
The classics: Hallelujah, Daft Punk, Sound of Silence, Bohemian Rhapsody
Originals: Sing, Run to You, Love Again, Can't Sleep Love
The newest: Home (medley), When the Party's Over, Dreams (all recorded and filmed during quarantine in ther separate homes)
Personal favourites: Imagine, Havanna, Papaoutai
Wow wow wow, interesting to know that Scott is actually a baritone (!?!) Thank you for all the information, I can see that you are a huge fan of Pentatonix. I love that you're giving me the recommended songs in category, appreciate that 😀
FleetstreetVicomte its not live so they don’t actually need mics
@@Ptxlive the evolution videos are recorded live - so yes, they do.
FleetstreetVicomte they used to record them live, but not anymore. There are several times that matts lip syncing doesn’t fit the lyrics or bass line. And as accomplished recording artists they would not want to put out live content when its not necessary, they recorded it for the best possible sound quality. And also their is a video of them recording it, on the ptx experience
Thank you very much for reacting to my suggestion. You said you weren't but you did it so thank you. I can be annoying I'm sorry..
Made my day.
She said it wasn't their voices it was the mixing engineer. You aren't going to say anything?
@@lexymish990 I'm sure she didn't mean that it was the Engineer who made them sound great. She did acknowledge they were great singers without a doubt. She was correct about how the Engineer will take out certain frequencies and enhance other frequencies. It's done that way on 98 percent of music videos and concerts and as amazing as Pentatonix is is still gets done on thier videos only because they want to put out the best product possible. On the evolutions it's very minimal but still enhanced in post production. It can't help horrible singers at all. We know how they sound no matter what.
@@sean1849 okay thanks for the info. Jo and I were talking about a girl that commented to me that the in the new .Music videos they were lip syncing bc it was the only way they could get it to be in sync with the recording. I felt that was backwards but I didn't say anything and she said you hate things like that as much as we do.
@Lexy Mish Hello!! I've said repeatedly in the video that they are excellent singers :) Just want to highlight that mixing engineers are part of the team and are crucial to bring out the tone even more esp for bass and beatboxing :)
@UC0qoij0yfZjZrfYUMrcwBdg I didn't want it to seem like I was to pushy
They are the arrangers, with Ben Bram. And they usually say they get the initial versions of medleys ready and recorded within hours, not weeks,
Thank you for letting me know! That is mind-blowing.
@@SingingTechniquesINT yeah, 2 of their 3 Grammys are for arrangements. And thank you for the video
@@minaolenella869 if you don't mind, pls do introduce to me 2 other songs by them that you like most. They have so many!
@@SingingTechniquesINT you put me on spot. There is so many, and I usually like the ones that are not popular. So I think I give songs by categories, so you could choose. 1) the songs that are usually suggested, and most popular, but are not my favourites: Hallelujah, Sound of Silence, Bohemian Rhapsody and from their originals Sing, Can't Sleep love, Run to you.
2) my favourites: covers: Kiiara Gold (it is a live recording), Praying, Just for now; originals: Water (there is a Popspring live), Take me home, Ref.. i'll stop now. But anything they have done is good for reactions. Bohemian Rhapsody may get copyrighted though.
3)Also songs they got Grammys for are Tchaikovsky Dance of a Sugar plum Fairy, Daft Punk, and Jolene
Wow thank you! Thanks for the categories too, makes it easier. I will take my time to check them out and step more into the world of Pentatonix 😉
I think they have mics to both the left and right and above when they’re doing these evolution videos. You don’t see them since they’re off screen. That would give the engineer a bit more control since he’s going to have feeds that are closer to each Mitch, Scott and Kirstie. I enjoyed your reaction especially the information about the balancing and mixing.
BTW - it Kirsten/Kirstie (rhymes with Thurston/Thirsty)
Thank you for your comment! Ah that would make sense. I knew that there had to be a microphone(s) out of sight but I didn't want to be definitive cos I wouldn't be able to prove it 😂 Good to know you think so too.
Thanks for correcting about 'Kirsten'. My eyes failed me 😭😭😭
Kirstin, not Kirsten
Little Harmony dang auto correct burns me every time 😡
LOVE your analysis. I've been a Pentaholic for a long time. After listening to you . . . now I know why. Thanks!
I didn't know there's a word "Pentaholic", that's super adorable. Thank you for your comment! :)
Great video! Keep up your good work! 😊
@Leo Bintara Thank you for your encouragement, made my day!
@@SingingTechniquesINT you are very welcome! Thanks for your warm and friendly response!! I really like your analysis, so positive, detail and fun. I would like to suggest you "Aha! Live from Singapore, Defying Gravity, Hallelujah (Live and video version) and the First Noel. They did a great job on those vids, especially Mitch in Aha! Live from Singapore..yeah, i am a big fan of unique countertenor singer like Mitch.
@@LB-rc2dq Ah let me listen to the performances!
Scott is actually a baritone, not a tenor, he just has a really large range. When Matt or Avi takes the lead, Scott covers the bass.
Interesting that you point out their blending and their individuality. Kirstin, Scott and Mitch have been practicing that blend since high school. While they have very distinct voices they mix extremely well. When Mitch tries he can nail Kirstin's phrasing and tambre. Listen to their cover of Frozen's Let it Go and see if you can hear when Mitch and Kirsten trade lead.
This was a great analysis! Thank you.
Thank you for your encouragement!
You need to watch more they have 4
leads. And Kevin additionally arranges and performs since he is a classically trained multi instrumentalist with perfect pitch.
Thank you for your comment, good to know that about Kevin :)
Who is the other lead singer whom I missed out on? By lead singer i meant the singer who typically takes the melody of the songs.
Matt Salee the Bass is a singer as all bass singers are, but he also has a baritone range. Scott the tall blonde sings bass when Matt leads watch Mr Grinch and the Sound of Silence as examples.
@TexasTigerDigs Urban Van Life, Knife and Tools That's even crazier. I just watched the Sound of Silence, and will leave a link here for people who are interested to hear:

My favourite member used to be Avi Kaplan, the former bass. I probably say that my favourite member is Kevin because he is such a competent musician - beatboxer/singer/cellist! Enjoyed watching your analysis, keep it up!!!
Thank you Candice! Yes indeed Kevin is so talented 🤯🤯🤯
How come I discovered you just now?? Great analysis you've got here. Yeah, Sean????? is everywhere yknow. Thanks
Learned something new so thank you.
Nice to see you took Sean?????'s suggestion! Hey there fellow Pentaholic! See you're making your rounds! lol ;)
Great reaction, so talented and humble. Very perceptive and responsive to your audience. Thank you!
Thank you for your kind comment! ❤️
@@SingingTechniquesINT truly I appreciated your comments on their style, their skills etc..you should react to gold, thank you and the prayer. I think you would greatly enjoy them all, for different reasons.
Matt the bass graduated Berklee one year before joining Pentatonix
Yes i read about it too! I think what's mind-blowing is that they are all so young... 😊
This is one of the best vocal analysis videos I've seen there. The only thing I noticed was off was sying Scott is a tenor, but that makes sense to guess because he was singing in tenor range in this video, haha. Hard to guess he's a baritone who can go all the way down to bass notes from this video! I love how you explained and appriciated what make them so great and unique.
Thank you for your kind comment! Yes indeed I went in blind without actually doing any research on Pentatonix. I think it helps to give a first analysis with real thoughts /emotions ..glad you like the video ! 😀
Had to subscribe cause you used a Voltron reference...
Hahah!
I would like you to react to their cover of Can you feel the love tonight? You mentioned in this vid how Kirstie and Mitch have similar tones (voices)...in the cover I requested, I think Scott and Matt have very similar tones. I've seen reactors 1st listen to the audio vid then the music vid and were shocked that Scott and Matt both sang because they thought it was all Scott in the beginning
This was great. Thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Scott is actually a Baritone
Kirstin also known as “Kirstie”
@analynh Ah! Thanks for correcting me! My eyes 😭😭😭
The back they have 2 boom mics up aboove.
congrats to Kirstin that announced a few months ago that she is pregnant with a girl!!!
Their studio work is usually done in recording booths so their voices can be fully isolated for EQ and mixing. This "Evolution of" and other "couch videos" (an inside joke since so many of their early videos were shot with them grouped around a couch) is a "1er", shot in a single uncut take. Yes, they use five microphones but the spillover between the mics means you can only do so much in post-production. It's as close the hearing their real voices as you can get without being in the same room with them.
Thank you :)
Apparently you have never been to their live concerts as well as them without microphones or you wouldn't say all that too much.
She said nothing wrong in this. Microphones in concerts also have equaliziers and pop filters and other stuff to clean it up and enhance. You can see often on stage that the trio have different microphones than the rythm section or stuff like that. Because different mics work better to enhance different sounds. Yes, they can sing extrememly well off mic (I love those performances) so they don't need any tweaking. Doesn't mean that there is no cleanup done on the audio quality though, even if the voices are untouched.
U over talk
I would love to hear you react to Hallelujah or Sound of Silence. You will see that Scott can sing down in the bass range too!
