A MUSICAL JUGGLING ACT!! | VoicePlay - We Don't Talk About Bruno | Acapella Reaction/Analysis

[@officialmortius]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/gJqwm2l9mZqdq6c Just in case I didn’t talk about it enough in the video, I would LOVE for you guys to check out my cover of the same song! It’s definitely not as in-depth, but I think it’s still lots of fun, and any/all engagement really helps out small creators like myself :)

[@caitlinb.5267]

Don't be so humble, Mortius! Your cover is awesome ❤

[@MagicMason1000]

Alright my counter is now at 6 :)

[@lateashamckean8395]

I am a KZbin member. The scream your hearing is a speed up and slightly shortened version of the goat scream. Layne thought it would be hilarious but Geoff's original idea was for Caesar to do the scream behind him

[@Bay_Trekker]

WAIT!! Did you do a cover of this song?? How did I ever miss that? You should have mentioned that fact a few times in the video! 😉😁

[@creationsbychancecan]

I so enjoyed your covet. Great job and I am looking forward to more 👍

[@StephanieGraham0129]

Geoff’s scream was a goat scream that Layne edited in during post production. However during the video shoot, he did do a scream and it was quite high.

[@chrisjung7139]

Now, if they add in a goat scream, does that still count as Acapella? Would the goat be considered a singer or a voice or would it be considered an instrument? Hhmmmmm. 🤣

[@dreyhawk]

@@chrisjung7139 I think we count the goat as a guest singer since it was made by a living creature with the use of vocal cords. At least that's my take on it.

[@Rally825]

So shouldn’t the title say “featuring Ashley Diane and goat?” (That goat is the GOAT!)

[@JaniceCW61]

@@chrisjung7139 Definitely still acappella. (And I agree that the goat🐐 should be credited, lol.)

[@vinniesamdude7517]

I hate to ruin everyones lives with this info but the goat scream is a stock sound effect. the goat did not make that noise it was a human being and its a sound effect somebody overlayed over a goat bleating im so sorry everyone but your life is a lie

[@lachimiste1]

The thing I think you might’ve missed when Geoff started singing Isabella’s part is the EPIC level of side-eye Layne gave him. Hilarious!

[@melineantoine1963]

Lol, Mortius' reaction to that switch to Geoff was priceless. I thought he was going to pass out from laughing.

[@aussiebloke609]

I love how, even though they're barely visible at the beginning of the phrase, it's not just that he's wearing the same shirt...he's also wearing the same pink shorts. Priceless.

[@nicholasnguyen5181]

That was hilarious

[@carolfranklin]

I love the fact that Voiceplay can consistently reduce you to a quivering wreck. Geoff was slightly less Disney Princess in the flowery blouse & pink shorts with his own check socks & shoes we got to see in the behind the scenes! I thought Geoff's original scream was pretty good but they thought the goat was funnier. I think you'll like Geoff's latest Big Bad John a song I've never liked but Geoff's turned me round as usual.

[@bethcoussou]

I agree whole-heartedly about how he and/or Voice Play, and also Home Free, can take a song someone might not like, but absolutely love their cover! Geoff definitely made me love his cover!

[@amberkondo5107]

[@patriciaschuman4205]

I saw the preview as a member of their patreon, and when Ashley started singing Isabella's verse, I was watching Geoff and thinking, "Boy, I'm getting a little jealous, the way he's looking at her". And then, just a few seconds later, I realized he had just been coveting her wardrobe, and everything was all right! How soon is Goeff going to start appearing in the "Favorite Disney Princess" polls?

[@aaroncoffman88]

You have to give Voiceplay credit Geoff's "Disney Princess " moment has cracked up every reactor so far. I haven't seen one video stun so many reactors in the same spot since Voiceplay's cover of Hoist the Colours

[@bradyschoch7562]

I love Mason's editing, bro! He's makes your videos 10x funnier than what they already are!

[@ChrisHaar]

I love the way lane "beatboxes" the line "We don't talk about Bruno" to end the song.

[@Someone-dv7hw]

Yeah! I didn't pay much attention to it before you said that but absolutely astonishing...

[@CapriUni]

Thank you for taking the time to go back and notice Layne's ending. I've seen a couple of reactors notice it, but it comes so close to the end, and it's so quick that many seem to miss in entirely. One reactor I watched just yesterday (Daniel Earnest, uploaded 10 March) did note that this is one of Layne's techniques called "Inhale singing." I'm not 100% certain, but I think I've also come across comments that Kevin Olusola of PTX also uses this technique so that he can keep the beat going without passing out or hyperventilating.

[@candilunsford2878]

It is inhale singing. Layne can actually hit A0 with it, and that's one lower than Geoff can do. He does it as the last note of SH-Boom.

[@elsie8757]

YES the reaction is finally here!!! I swear, when this cover dropped, I wasn't even halfway through watching it before my brain started going "Oh my God, I cannot WAIT to see what Mortius thinks of this". I've been waiting for this video with bated breath ever since, and of course it's exceeded my expectations. Well done, man, your enthusiasm is wildly infectious as always~

[@sprumf]

Love your reactions, One thing I notice about this was that when Ashley and Geoff sang as Isabella, Layne covered the bass line and actually went pretty low(Eb2). It’s quite impressive with how talented he is. Ofc he could ALSO sing solidly into the bass territory. as we know, we hear him as a “tenor” in many of the times we’ve heard him sing. But our boy layne is a baritone. (Maybe even low baritone because I forgot to mention he can hit a really decent B1 which we hear in voiceplays cover of everywhere you look) Lol sorry for this ramble, I really love music and how the voice can do so many things and be trained to do so many things. Great video as always. -Alex, choir kid for over 10 years as of this year. :)

[@Broomrider1492]

I think Geoff is an awesome Disney Princess. FYI he was looking at his wife who was to tossing the peddles. Kathy is a lucky lady. Layne used the screaming goat. It's was supposed to be Cesar's scream, but in the end, Layne went with the goat.

[@logancasselman153]

Actually not cesars scream but Geoff's actually

[@Broomrider1492]

@@logancasselman153 Guess will have to ask at the next Q & A. The BTS said they were going to use Cesar's scream. Then I was told I was wrong that Layne changed it to the goat scream and now you're telling me it's Geoff. Somebody make up my mind. lol

[@paragamer85]

Just like Ashley’s face when Geoff starts singing, Layne’s **very** confused look is priceless! XD

[@MrRonJantz]

Add in Cesar looking for an exit behind him

[@pamtaylor989]

So, you now know that was the 'goat scream'. In the bts video on Patreon, Geoff said he would react and leave Cesar to scream, then Geoff did a very passable scream that they realised sounded like the goat scream. Once that meme was in their heads, the effect was too good not to use, so Layne used it. I will miss your birthday bash, so Happy Birthday and many of them to you and Cesar. I look forward to your birthday duet !

[@notawindbag]

From the BTS and podcast: it was the screaming goat, so good call!, Layne shortened it and tweaked it.

[@Someone-dv7hw]

23:00 really like your talk here. Because it is so honest and at the same time teaching healthy expectation management and how to properly enjoy things you want to enjoy. 😊 It's something I have been learning recently in a certain game and it's not easy because just being told may not fully register... And most importantly, actively enjoying things doesn't make that joy fake! It's for yourself not others, rage is easy but if you know that you CAN enjoy it then it can be worth checking your mindset like that... I am still practicing because I tend to be rather emotional, easily agitated and somewhat petty. So it is actually important to my own mental health to practice joy for my own benefit. I am not a content creator so I can rest assured its definitely for me and only me but even learning it from content creators - I think it resonated because I could tell they were doing it for themselves and not the audience and it therefore became something that might be relevant to me as well. Well this was a bit of a long rant, but I hope it helps anyone who may associate with what I described. It takes 1001 times to even understand and even longer to put into practice but if you read this maybe it helps you stumble through a few of these steps. And keep in mind (also a reminder to myself) that it's not a bad thing to be learning this "only just now"... if you weren't taught to handle emotions like this, then it's a feat to even arrive here and it will definitely help yourself first and foremost. And sometimes when I am more at peace with myself I am starting to notice others have an easier time responding to me as well. Moreso at least than when I am in my tempestuous outbursts and a more even tempered individual can't tell that I am more affectation/letting steam than genuine anger... and it used to make me uncomfortable when their empathy caused them to try and change the situation for me when I wasn't even aiming for that. Oops it got even longer. Anyway... emotional processing is difficult and this is a very healthy exqmple that I will tuck away in my heart to use for myself❤

[@janetdw]

In the behind the scenes we get to see that they filmed the petal section at double speed and then slowed it down for the video. In order to get the petals to look like they’re just wafting 💨🌸 by rather than being blasted into their face (which is really what happened) they had to use not only an industrial fan but a leaf blower! It was pretty amazing to watch them do that section at double speed. But the effect especially with Geoff gently waving hand is worth it. 🙋 By the way, they did a very short mini of surface pressure and it is available on Instagram and TicTikTok

[@talaoalii7]

Absolutely love the genuine and enthusiastic analysis and reaction. No fakers here but a true appreciation of the movement of music and it’s effect on the soul. Love your work.

[@TNJenni42]

The best thing about VoicePlay is that they are ALL so awesomely talented. I would bet any of them would rock the charts in a traditional band as a lead singer. Eli and Cesar would kill in Rock or Latin group, Geoff is a country boy at heart and Layne... Layne is a sleeper agent that can do whatever he puts his mind to. Now for my reaction to your reaction, as always it brings a smile to my face. The joy of hearing something new for the first time and sharing what makes you smile, laugh, cry or any other emotion is the best. I've said it before most reaction channels are just the person watching the video, which is fine but there are a few that I seek out because you/and they point out things that I didn't catch and I've always enjoy learning more about the music I listen to. Pause, Pause away and keep up the great work.

[@nudgificator]

And here I am on what must be my 20th listen to this cover, and I'm *just* now realising that when Cesar is taking Dolores' part, the backing vocals are saying "the man of my dreams, of *his* dreams". It's so subtle but so good that they decided to put in that element of representation.
