MY NEW MUSIC VIDEO HERE: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/o7t-jcKnudaulWw.html

In my humble opinion your reactions on VP are becoming better and better! THANK YOU for playing it twice and giving us such interesting examples of how beatboxing can be done! How Geoff can do this? Talent obviously and more than 20 years of practising ... I love the sound when he increases the air on that last deep note. Maybe he can breathe in through the ears!? 🎉😂❤

Oh they hit that drum roll just right

J can sing! He was part of the group until 2021 when the U.S. Navy recruited him to sing for them. I like it when you play it again and break down what they were doing since I don't know much about music. I just know what I like and this is it!😊

the synth like melody at the start is Cesar's voice with an effect on it

Oh goodie, lots of juicy details on this one! Thanks for playing it again in "analysis mode", I really appreciate your insights.

So VERY 80s. Man, so many things about this one take me back. And when Layne comes in with that iconic drum break, it gets _everybody_ rocking along.

J none was part of VoicePlay but he enlisted in the US navy. They have a great choir. I think VoicePlay is holding his spot open until he gets out. That’s why they use feature singers.

Geoff does go as low as you hear. He has some short live vids where he sings it raw, no effects at all. Thank you for an excellent reaction to Voice Play.

JNone is a fabulous singer he was part of Voiceplay before he went into the navy ❤🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Thanks for another great reaction. I learn so much about the beatboxing from you (and the possibilities Layne uses).

As always, terrific reaction. I really enjoy watching you reproduce the beatboxing and bass. Fun!

It's Cesar doing the beginning do do sounds. The car is Layne"s ( the beatboxer) dad's. These guys are so creative It's stunning. Great reaction 😊

They just keep tackling these HUGE iconic songs and killing them. Ed Boyer mixes it for them and he's a freaking genius. Layne, the beatboxer, was the original baritone for the group and Scott Porter, yes the actor, was the beatboxer. Layne actually has the largest range in the group. He hit an A0 (one lower than Geoff) as an inhale note at the end of SH-Boom, and an G#6 as a sound effect in ACA Top 10 Disney Villains. All the others have a 5+ octave range. Geoff and those subs still get me though.

Your reaction is aweSOME...and doing it for my fav group ever is icing on the cake ❤❤❤❤

Would have to say this is one of my favorite covers by them. Easily top 2 next to nothing else matters. Their ability to keep true to the original and add a very impressive twist to it is great!!!!!

The 80's nostalgia is so fantastic here. They always nail that. The killed it in "Running Up That Hill" too. I just love this one. Really dig the arrangement!

No one does in-depth analysis like you do. My compliments.

That ending would love to have heard this with Jeff as lead throughout. Love his bass. They did a good job though I'm so partial to the original I think it's harder to impress me on remakes. This has always been a song very special to me for decades

Love it when you explain how they master the sound, the technical side of it! You sound like a great beat boxer yourself! Thanks for sharing!

Your reactions to Voiceplay and Geoff are always great. Be sure the Gorgeous Belgian gets a chance to see this one, she'll love it, too. Thanx for watching it twice, once is never enough to catch even half of the amazing things they do!

I really like the format of you reacting and then analyzing. You always have so much to add that’s different than other people especially because of your beatboxing. I can always tell when Layne is going to do something because of his hand movements (I especially like that little flutter hand movement ). You do the same thing. It’s like you need that extra little bit of energy to get those sounds out.😂

That was great! My first time hearing them! Thanks for the reaction ❤❤

I love to hear Layne sing!! He has the sweetest voice and I get excited every time he sings no matter for how long!! ❤ Just found your videos and subbed because of Voiceplay and Linkin Park! ❤

That trumpet (?) sound at the beginning is Cesar, the one between Layne and J. The final mix is done by Ed Boyer, who does the final mix for Home Free and Pentatonix as well. Geoff said in a live chat that Ed mixes them differently than the others. Just rewatched your reaction, still love it!

Geoff has some shorts on KZfaq of him doing something’s live in studio

Love your Voice Play reactions- thanks! I learn so much from you detailing how they are creating the sounds we love and look foward to all your Voice Play reactions. I am glad that you really enjoy reacting to them.

Thank you for the explanation of beatboxing. It seems so difficult to do...a great deal of respect to anyone who can do it. Love the entire reaction/analysis.

J-None was recruited by the Navy to join one of their singing groups, so he’s got either a 4 or 6 year hitch. On his leave/vacation time he can rejoin VoicePlay and sing with them so now here is one of their Masterpieces.😁🥰

Best and most entertaining reaction I have ever heard of VoicePlay. Thank you

I'm so GLAD to see you reacting to this. I've been waiting for your review and comments. They made this classic even better for me. LOVE it and really enjoyed your comments and explanations. Thank you!!

There are a lot of reactors for VoicePlay, but I really like how much you can offer on the beatboxing and technical mastering.

J none was a full member of voice play until he left to join the armed services as a singer. When he can get leave he rejoins them

Also listen to Ain't no sunshine by geoff Castellucci, one of the most talented singers out there.

I loved your use of beatboxing to explain certain parts of the arrangement. It's such an amazing skill and to hear it demo'd live was cool. Great analysis overall. It is always special when we get to hear Layne sing. He usually does it on their slower, more heartfelt arrangements where a heavy beat would seem out of place, but not always, especially not lately. In an old series on their channel called PartWorks, their subscribers got to choose what song they sang and who out of the group sang it. So, the video is Everywhere You Look, the theme song to Full House (90s sitcom in the US, if you're unsure) and they chose Earl (left the group in 2020) and Layne to perform it. They tripled Earl in the video for the main parts and doubled Layne. He was doing the beatboxing and singing bass. It's an oldie but a lot of fun in my opinion, and you get to see the guys maybe doing some things they wouldn't normally do. Like there's one of just Eli and Geoff singing Love Yourself in which Eli is tripled singing all the main parts and Geoff is doubled singing bass and doing the beatboxing. These are, of course, more simple arrangements. They were still touring at the time. They also provided the sheet music for them so their subscribers could also perform them if they wanted. Okay...I'm done rambling. 😁

Whether it's Geoff or Layne, whoever does the arrangement also does the editing of sound and film, including any mastering. They are masters of their craft. Layne is constantly coming up with new sounds to create. He's incredible. He's gone for an 80s feel on this with the gated drums - as in the original - and the VHS appearance. Yes they can all sing and I know Geoff can also do some beatboxing - in fact he taught Layne originally. And his vocal control is beautiful. Great beatboxing by the way!

The 1972 Pontiac was loaned by Layne's dad who bought it new. I love when Geoff is singing at the end and Layne goes to a heart beat. Great effect. I've always enjoyed Phil Collins version (I'm old enough that I knew it before it was the iconic classic it became) and love the Farewell Tour concert in Paris. VoicePlay took that song, put their stamp on it and created one that I love even more. I've thought that in the 2 yrs I've listened to and enjoyed VoicePlay that they were the best in the business, but in the last few months, they have stepped it up and after each presentation you wonder how they could possibly top that one, and yet, time after time, they do. This goes for Geoff's solos as well. They take my breath away. Your reaction/analysis was so good. Loved it.

In this lineup, all of them can sing tenor, baritone, bass, and beatbox, to varying degrees. Gives them a lot of flexibility in their arrangements. J.None was a full-time member from 2018 until he was recruited to sing in the US Navy in spring 2021. He still films and records with them when he's home on leave or a quick weekend visit, like he did here. Thanks for the explanation and demonstration of some of the cool sounds and effects. If it's an inhaled bass or beatbox sound, even really low, it's Layne. Geoff says he doesn't do the inhale notes (ingressive phonation?) because it hurts and he sounds like an injured frog. People surprised that Layne can sing well forget or don't know that he was the original baritone for the group, in all its iterations (they've been performing together since high school) until Scott Porter left to pursue acting, and Layne really developed his beatboxing skills.

I learned so much from your voice play reactions. When you show how the beatboxing Is done it feels like a magician explaining how the trick is done. Pulling the curtain back so to speak. I don't like it but I really really like it. A note on your intro Of you rapping. I have only heard the word succubus 1 time and that was on my actual most favorite TV show ever, supernatural. There are unofficial things song is carry on wayward son by Kansas. Incidentally voice play covers carry on wayward son. I'm gonna go check out your new Video now. Awesome job.

Did you know that Geoff taught Layne how to beet box? Geoff helps Layne with some sounds.

Another Phil Collins fav is I don't care anymore. I think I'm a Phil Collins fan without ever realizing I was a Phil Collins fan lol if that makes any sense 😆

Like several a cappella groups, VoicePlay uses Ed Boyer to do their final audio mix. Ed is known for his mixes for a cappella singers and groups. Geoff also uses Ed, and Pentatonix has used him in the past (not sure if they still use him or not). I think Home Free has used him as well, but not certain about that. Layne (the beatboxer) was the baritone for VoicePlay in the first part of the group's life. After their original beatboxer left, Geoff actually became the beatboxer for a short while and started Layne out, but now Layne has taken it to entirely new levels.

This is great. I couldn't fathom how those sounds could be made by someone's mouth instead of an instrument. You're really good at is as well. Heading over to listen to your new song from the link.

You’ve also seen J None in The Oogie Boogie Song, back when he was a full time member of VoicePlay 😊

FYI, j none was a member of voiceplay, but he had to leave for two years. He is a member of th u.s.navy and had to do a two year commitment. Now that he is back I’m pretty sure we will see a lot more of him. He is a musican’s mate and was in one of the navy’s bands.

Dude! Loved this analysis. Love VoicePlay too.

Love the Phil Collins version but interested in seeing what they have done with this

Wow. I really enjoyed this. Thank you for beatboxing through this. So good.

They took what could be a repetative, rather boring song and spiced it up masterfully; yet honored the key elements of the original iconic Phil Collins song.

Love your content bud, listen to the sound of silence by Geoff castellucci, you will hear is full extend of is vocal range of atleast 4 octaves if not more.

Layne makes these sounds at times which sounds much like what wind musicians do called double and triple tonguing. It is a technique used to produce notes in proper timing. My husband is a retired band teacher and he and my children all can do this. Now I do not know if Layne actually does this in his beat boxing, but it sure sounds like it.

👍🎶

Someone must have told you that before but, just in case, J.None join VP shortly after 1 of VP member (tony?) leaved. He letf a few years later to serve in the navy. Since then VP and J.None collab when he is on leave. So, he was part of VP and is still close to the group. (Note: J.None leaving opened a spot for Ceasar to join them.

Great Reaction. I learned a lot

If you've never seen or heard the original by Phil Collins/Genesis, I recommend it highly. Not that this one isn't good but The original was featured in one of my favorite shows at the time Miami Vice. The show, that show...simply put is ICONIC.

❤❤❤❤❤❤

one thing i have noticed is that sometimes when its beatboxing with bass infused its not layne and its geoff since geoffs also good at beatboxing and was actully the one that showed layne beatboxing so in some vids when you think its layne its actually geoff.

Omg just started to watch your King los vid but saw this being my most fav song in the world I had to jump to this first lol

Thanks for the beatboxing demos, always fun to see those. Aren't those traps nice?!

IDK if you have done this yet.. but PLEASE react to the ORIGINAL song by Phil Collins.. specifically his 2004 Paris live performance. These people are SO talented but you NEED to hear/see the original. You will be BLOWN AWAY.

You remind me so much of my son, Jacob! Lol.😂 Have a fabulous day!

Geoff taught Lane how to beat box.

Ik hou van je reacties, bedankt!

about the who else can beatbox, geoff should be able to beatbox a bit since he used to help out back in the days

It is trap at the end, it is right👍✌️

I don't know if it's your style there is a Japanese band called One Ok Rock - we are 😊

Talk about vocal not only Geoff and Layne (BeatBox) And learn the name !! The name are in the description of every video !!! Push more in the description and you are the name and more detail It s not difficulte to watch the description just before you recorded the reaction !!!

Listen to voiceplay creep
