Kate Lott is a classically trained operatic soprano. Her range is insane.

Most accapella groups are a band, this was an orchestra. I love Bella's interruptions, her persistence reminds me of my service dog.

Watching Mortius just ascend at Katt Lott's note toward the end of her solo was awesome lol

You can see the love in Ella 's eyes (7:43). Just priceless and totally unconditional

That push and pull sound and their body movements really shows that once upon a dream is truly a Waltz. You can almost feel the sway and spin to the dance of the waltz. Again very Cinematic

Incidentally, Crystal Johnson, the last of the lady singers, holds her final note for 17 seconds. It has been timed with a stop watch.

I've been waiting for a loooonnnnggg... time for you to react to this one. These women are magical and together with the men, Voctave always moves me. THANK YOU for a great reaction.

When I saw what video you'd be reacting to, my first thought was: "He's gonna love this!" As for a second thought: Maybe the camera treats Ella as partially invisible because her beautiful (shiny) black coat is reflecting some of the green from the green screen. Oh, and as far as I'm concerned, you never have to apologize for a pupper co-host.

Mortius involuntarily doing Vogueing to "Colors of the Wind" I LOVE U SIR

Gorgeous reaction. In regards to ‘character’ in the voice, i think they were mirroring the fact that as Disney princess get more modern, they get more uniqueness as character. Also from a technique standpoint, it’s easier to put a lot of character into a mezzo line, closer to normal speaking range. The need to maintain the ‘line’ in a super high soprano register can limit the ability to bring in different colours or choices. They’re all spectacular of course, but I think it’s a combination of those two things.

yea, female soloist 4 and 5 are my favorite solo female voices in this one... something just soooo soothing with their tones. and yes that high soprano is insane.

Oh this is definitely one that should go on the Blind Reaction. I love this medley so much and there are so many things to pick out from it.

This make me cry in such a good way, such beautiful voice Idk why when I listen to voctave makes me cry all the time.

For those who'd like to put a face on the name, Jamie ,the arranger, is standing next to the director.

I got to hear them live in concert last night. They are wonderful in person and just as solid. They also seem to love what they do. Fastest concert I’ve ever been to. Could have listened two more hours!

I would really love you to react to Voctave's Prince of Egypt Melody. This one is fantastic too

if you want to hear character in their voices, I would love to see your reaction to the Disney Heroes and Villians Medley. It is audio only, features the guys but they seriously voice the characters perfectly!

If I hadn't fallen in love with your reactions already (and after watching 3 back to back I pretty much had), seeing you so enraptured that you didn't know what else to do but bust out the Macarena would have tipped me over that particular edge.

I had the awesome opportunity to see them live on 2/27/22. The women were featured on this medley and the men were featured on the "Disney Heroes and Villains Medley" (no video on this one). They sound as good or better live!

21:02 i think the dissonance you are referring to is the sus2 chord with the root on the bottom. That’s probably one of my favorite resolutions in music.

Yea! Voctave is getting some much deserved love. Every voice sounds like the original to me. Simply beautiful! Kate is amazing as well!

Forced to come back here and relive this one with you, after your most recent Voctave reaction. Loved this one.

firstly, Queen in 5 Minutes is the best thing ever created, and I am convinced that the only reason it's third in that list is because those who voted the other 2 simply haven't been exposed to Q5M's wonder & glory. secondly, this was my first time listening to Voctave. my acapella experience has been mainly VoicePlay and sometimes Home Free, and once in a blue moon Pentatonix. almost entirely male, and never more than 5 individuals. this was a whole new animal to me. the richness and fullness of sound, and the predominance of the female voice, were a real treat. it also struck me when we got these long, drawn-out melodies that never seemed to stop, that with such a group you can pull that off. with so many participants, one person can take a breath and another can pick up the melody and carry it forward, so that it seems continuous. not easily done with a fivesome such as Voiceplay, etc. another treat. I'm not generally a princess-y type or one who regularly employs or enjoys pink, but this was very nice. and lastly, but not leastly, that dog is adorable. what a sweet little interlude on my Sunday afternoon.

Dammit Colors of the Wind had me in tears

It's pretty amazing how Katt can so lovingly blow your socks off yet still allow all the other performers to be heard. Amazing control of her instrument.

It's amazing how much Sarah sounds like Jodi Benson (The original voice of Ariel) in her cover of Part of Your World.

I really enjoy how you break down the different background vocal parts and draw attention to them, I haven't seen that in other Voctave reactions/analyses before. Thank you!

Always love your Voctave reactions! 👍

I so much appreciate each of the female soloists. I love how Jamie brought them each a moment to shine.

Voctave Singing Very insanely Good im Getting Goosebumps all over my body it feels so Good, love your Reaction Mortius PS your Captain Alex Stars 94er AHOOOI ⛵

Amazing like always. 🥰😉😊❤️

No one really covers their version of “Show Yourself” featuring Kirsten Maldonado but it is outstanding.

I love them all, but that last deep alto is mezmerizing! 💖

I knew knew knew you would be absolutely gobsmacked by that ending and I was so right and I'm so happy you finally heard this

I dont know if this will make sense but I am an animator/cartoonist and I find their singing sounds "Cinematic" I hope that makes sense. I appreciate your explanation of music and singing because as an animator we have to draw and animate the characters mouth and facial/body movements to match the voice actors performance in the studio. Love the reactions. Very nice tie vest and shirt combo. I usually tie a full Windsor knot but what is the one you have tied called? Cheers and take care. 👍😎

Thank you so much for reacting to this one. Voctave had Kirsten from Pentatonix on their Disney Love Medly and she killed it

Fab reaction - I was waiting for Kate (descant sop) to come in when you kept pausing! I kept thinking to myself, he is going to be blown away any second now!

Love Kate and combing her voice and voctave adds the cream. Simply awesome

the musician in me is dying from you not letting a phrase finish before commenting. haha

It is like a full orchestra of voices.

Also Ella is so cute. She definitely has the puppy dog pout face. Does she use it on you all the time? Cause my German Shepard, Max has the puppy dog pout and he knows how to use it. Usually for extra treats. Cheeky bugger.

Voctave is normally 11 people, though they have recorded using as few as 8. Watch their "The Great Movie Medley", where they pay homage to the Great John Williams and some of his most famous movie theme songs. There is only one song they do that has lyrics. They are an ORCHESTRA!

18:33 When you feel the music so deeply the only logical thing to do is to Macarena, lmao.

18:34 lmao

♥Ella!

I love that Mortius didn't know what to do with his hands lol

Best comment, "It just kept going" in disbelief.

If you love Voctave, watch their video of “A Million Dreams“ with the Vocal Majority. Then watch a Vocal Majority video. You will hear amazing similarities in arranging, phrasing, harmonies, etc. I think Voctave modeled themselves after the Vocal Majority. Both groups are amazing.

You should listen to voctave version of the prince of egypt it almost mas me cry, do to the fact how beautiful they sung it definitely should check it out. 💖 but I adore you

You should listen to the new one that they’ve just come out with. The voices are all amazing but EJ slays it. As always. But just listen to it please. I’m dying for some reactions. I know it’s only been like a day but it’s that good.

What was that ending? Magical.

Mulan is Ashley Espinoza

Voctave is pure magic.

Mortius loved your reaction if you liked Kate Lott’s high notes (the blonde woman who sang lead in the Snow White song) you need to react to Disney Love medley xx

Mortius, I watched this reaction by you…Only the second reaction of yours that I have listened to… and like the thirty plus other reactions to this composition, you missed one important thing about the arrangement. The background vocals were a reaction to the environment of each song. Cinderella, had the BGVs doing a waltz. Little mermaid started with bubbles, then waves, then a storm at sea. Mulan was improvised by the producer. Snow White stuck to the period, and Pocahontas had the BGVs simulating wind. It mystifies me why no one gets that. BTW , the producer is the guy second from the left.

Next do voctave love melody!

Eke... disney love melody.

If you want character, watch their version of O Come All Ye Faithful.

Next react to their impossible dream. You wouldn't regret! :)

Although it was a bit of Long watch your enthusiasm was hard to fault good job

wow....I can see why you jumped out of your skin with that ending.....DDDAAAMMNN

Ella, HOW are you so PRETTY??? :O

Really check out Sam Robson. Very few has reacted to him and he deserves to be in the spotlight for sure. You won't be disappointed

Please react to their new song Somewhere

This was probably recorded live... take all the time you need to assimilate that

Dear Video Editor, has editing his videos helped you find new artist you enjoy?

Phrasing please... May I suggest you stop the video after s phrase. It's less distracting for the listener. Also, You are cutting out some of the important phrasing of music and lyrics which is making you have to stop and repeat the video several times over.

This my friend is a MASTER CLASS!! bar none....I love your reactions but on this one you seem to going overboard on it... I know this is YOUR reaction to it and everything but pausing every 10-15 seconds is a bit much and it changed the whole thing for me... I'm sorry but altho I loved the music (what you would lets us hear) I am giving you a dislike on this one....sorry.....but I feel like we don't need a breakdown every 15 seconds....
