VoicePlay, Halo Theme: First Reaction & Honest Thoughts!

Рет қаралды 3,809

Күн бұрын

My honest thoughts to VoicePlay's a cappella version of the "Halo Theme". In this music video, we are taken through the world of Halo as VoicePlay recreates the video game theme and pays tribute to their loved friend, Rek Dunn.
Normally, there is a film production and musical analysis integrated with the reaction, but considering what this arrangement was intended for, I wanted to take 10 seconds and appreciate the VoicePlay member's friend, Rek Dunn. Not realizing they created the arrangement in his honor.
There is excellent use of visual effects in this music video along with significant use of Geoff Castellucci's bass vocals.

The day this premiered Scott Porter was watching KZfaq and personally replied to many reacters to thank them for their respect of Rek. He responded to a lot of our comments as well, including mine. That says volumes to me about VoicePlay and Scott. When you watch the BTS for their videos you see not just the amazing musical talent they have, but the camaraderie between them and that always includes their guest stars. They're also incredibly humble. Scott was their original beatboxer and Layne moved from baritone to fill in the role after Scott left for Hollywood. Such a wonderful tribute to a friend. God speed Rek! On another note, they do quite a few minis that are literally sound effects as well. They do streaming channel intros, TV theme songs......they are so good. I'd load several of them to do at a time. You also need to see their horror movie mini medley. It's Layne and not Geoff that freaks me out in that one.

That IS very humble of VoicePlay to respond to reactors of this music video.

Here's to Rek! Not a gamer, never even heard of Halo before they came out with this one. The music is amazing, Geoff hit his lowest note (so far) a B0. The arrangement is Layne's, and he did the editing. Thanx for reacting to this one and watching the dedication. I loved the dedication because it says so much about Voiceplay.

VoicePlay really outdid themselves on this one. Of course, they had good reason to do so. FYI- Rek actually showed up as a cameo in one of their videos. In Boy Bands in 5 Minutes, he's the guy who passes off a sub sandwich to Earl. He also shot some very cool behind the scenes video of VoicePlay while they were making their video for This Is Halloween (you can find it on his personal channel).

Thank you for watching the dedication, I've seen so many reactors skip over it and not even mention it (ofc they don't always know, but it's nice to see Rek being remembered through this dedication.) About the video - You were completely right this is Geoff like we've never heard before! He hits a B0 subharmonic at the beginning and the end, which was a new record for him! Since then he's been pretty stable with C1 subharmonics, which is astonishing in itself. I'm also happy you acknowledged the dubstep portion for how awesome it is, as I've never heard an acapella group anything like this either! This video is definitely a milestone in many ways for VoicePlay, and Layne did a fantastic job with the arrangement. And you made a very fun, interesting and respectful analysis and reaction!

Well, thank you so much for your incredible feedback to this reaction! I was so excited to hear VoicePlay replicate dubstep through their skill of a cappella. They executed it well!

Thank you so much for continuing to listen through the dedication. So many reactors just cut it off, then complain that Halo was short. I always enjoy your reactions and can’t wait for you to see the one that’s premiering this morning. I’ve been a fan for so long, and they just keep getting better and better. But from my first hearing of ‘Bruno’ (on Patreon) I just had to keep playing it over and over. It has brought me so much joy. And there are so many production points for you to sink your teeth into! Here’s to Rek!

Thank you so much for your kind words! That's such a shame that reactors don't watch the music video all the way through.. Especially a music video like this that brings so much more value.

I’m so glad you did this one. Rek did a lot of their album art on their singles. He also showed up in a few of their videos, one of them is “Boybands in 5 Minutes” which is an awesome video. I have never played Halo but this arrangement is amazing. Here’s to Rek! 💜

Rek Dunn & Eli formerly known as Eli Black were in a rock band together way before Eli joined Voice Play. In the video called City Sounds Last Day -1. Rek Dunn is wearing a short sleeve white shirt with a dark blue wide stripe across the tip. There are a few good videos of Eli & the rock bands he played in.

I think it takes a lot of class to recognize their pain and sadness and to give a moment of silence for Rek.

Ive I've listened to Alot of Scott Porter Halo speech. It saddens me that they lost a long time friend. Unfortunately Rek passed away from Covid. He can be seen in Voiceplay Boy Bands In 5 Minutes handing Earl a sandwich. But you are the only reactor that brought years to my eyes when you did the 10 seconds of silence. Many reactors paid their condolences in different ways. Thank you for that. I'm not much of a cryer. So I was very surprised at my tears.

Sorry, I miss the premiere. I was watching VoicePlay's premiere of " We Don't Talk About Bruno" Featuring Asley Diane who also did "If I Were A Rich Man/Girl" with them. I'm here now, better late than never. HALO is amazing. Tim Foust is also dropping a new this morning also. So will be off to that one next.

@@JeffreyHackReacts Too many people have died unnecessarily from COVID. It’s a shame it got so political. I knew two people who died of it and a couple of my loved ones are now dealing with Long COVID-one may have to carry an O2 tank around indefinitely. Some of this could have been prevented. The messaging on the whole thing was just a disaster from the start.

If you have reacted to Boy Bands in 5 Minutes, do. You'll see Rek in the video where he brings a sub sandwich for them. Another thing for you - Charismatic Voice does an analysis and reaction to Halo but she also has the composer there for commentary on it. A right good video that I think you would enjoy.
