Austin Brown & Tim Foust "My Maria" | Voice Teacher Reaction

[@lrfcowper]

Tim's natural speaking voice is sooooo looooooowww. I loved this arrangement so much, that they went, "We've got two power tenors with remarkably high ranges and a bass with one of the lowest singing voices in a cappella music today. Who gets to sing the high descant-like part? The bass? Yeah, definitely the bass."

[@jodyburger1979]

Tim Foust is unfairly talented. I mean unfair to the rest of how talented he is. His range is not even human.

[@jillchamberlain6478]

Amazing isn’t it? Two high tenors, and the bass is singing the lead high part!!

[@sallymaria]

Chris Chatham, the 3rd guy, is an old friend of Tim's- they sang together in Tim's first professional acapella group, Blue Jupiter, 20 years ago. More recently he's been working with both Tim and Austin on their solo projects - as they say, they have a lot of talented friends, and they like to feature them. Supporting other artists, rather than competing with them, is very much their style, both within the group and outside it.

[@intermenater]

Are there old videos with Tim? &thnx

[@sallymaria]

​@@intermenater Not that far back. The earliest videos I know of Tim are from a later group he was with, Ball in the House. But if you look for Tim's radio tour videos for his solo album back in 2011, on his KZbin channel, you'll see Chris Chatham in those, playing guitar.

[@nightthornkvala94132]

That's one thing I love about HF and its members. Other musicians are usually friends who work with them on other videos and songs, and the women in their videos are usual relatives, long time friends, and their wives/girlfriends.

[@Iansco1]

They should do something will Elliot again.

[@reneroberson2784]

Way to go fellas way to go smile smile smiles right now on this face.. Love you Home Free ❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️

[@sheliaspringer7389]

Tim Foust is doing the high. He has a 5 octave range. He is AMAZING!!!

[@brendagrothier967]

Yep....Timothy showing off his vocal range. Same guy singing Brothers in Arms.

[@louisetemples7011]

@ Brenda Grothier this is going to be fun! Wonder if we will hear a " Biscuit " from Christopher today?😉♥️🍟🍑

[@miamidolphinsfan]

It's been said when Tim is in a restaurant, and he's ordering food, all the women with-in earshot, stop eating and turn around to see where that deep manly voice is coming from. I just love this cover....it's such a great song. BTW...the gentleman playing the bass guitar & in the purple shirt is Tim's real life brother-in-law. Tim is married to Jenika Marion Foust, whose brother is Chris Marion. Chris Chatham is a singer songwriter & has writen several songs with Tim, including one of the Home Free releases called Land of the Free

[@sharonmortimer3843]

Chris Chatham has been singing withTim for a really long time. They were in Austin's yard on the deck he built with his dad. Truly enjoyed watching your reaction.

[@wilkvanburen]

Yet another episode of 'what the heck is going on' by members of Home Free. lol! Tim is singing high, Austin is singing low, and Mr. X is just plain singing! LOL!

[@brendagrothier967]

Chris playing the first guitar and singing is a good friend of Tim's. Together they wrote Land of The Free that they sung on their new album. The guitarist farther away is Tim's brother in law. Just seeing them sing in the back yard is just fun. Wouldn't it be nice to live in Austin's neighborhood. I laughed to after Timothy spoke.

[@dagmar.6954]

I really loved this performance by Tim & Austin & the other guys. Liked Austin singing in his lower register. I don't think I have ever heard Tim sound so clear & crisp in his upper falsetto range. Who would ever believe that he is a natural bass who can drop down into the basement depths. But then as soon as he speaks you can hear his low tone. Wouldn't it be cool to have these guys perform for you at home.

[@grievousangel7742]

Tim does sound clear and sharp. I believe that his upper range has become a lot better since Chance joined the group as it meant Tim could spend less time rumbling away and work on the rest of his range knowing Chance is a safe set of vocal cords.

[@insideoutsideupsidedown2218]

All are very good, Tim's change from chest voice to head voice is just astonishing....

[@tassilo5949]

I love Tim's voice, his range is so phenomenal, just sick. It's nice to hear him sing with other artists as well. Chris also has a very nice voice and not to forget Austin anyway. Great reaction!

[@annik8743]

austin and tim are from the vocal group Home Free

[@jillchamberlain6478]

And Austin’s lower tones are beautiful, too!!

[@teresacartwright5406]

I saw an interview with Tim Foust wherein he said that when he's giving advice to aspiring bass singers (apparently he has a class people can take on-line). He said one of the first things he tells them is to practice singing tenor - falsetto. He said the more they exercise they vocal chords the better a bass singer they'll be. His range is just astonishing!

[@nanadeborah8717]

The 4th person is Tim's brother-in-law, Chris Marion on the bass guitar.

[@Quizzy0000]

this song must have been so fun for tim to not sing bass and go high for a change whole song. its like me singing with headphones on but then sound good also. and then tim went lower then 85% of anyone can go by just talking like its noting. hes a gem and a massive one.

[@staceysmith8173]

Tims upper register is becoming more filled out IMO. He keeps stretching his range. 3 tenors here it's amazing

[@echelonafrica]

Tim used to be a tenor, he says he was a late bloomer so he really developed his upper register first before his voice kept dropping. He also says that most of the songs he writes in the tenor range.

[@creativecrewfam]

Oh wow, interesting!

[@cathysmith2941]

Wow they get better and better and sound so good love some home free their arrangement in this is so amazing

[@robynmatheson7687]

Time to check out “Mayday” . Also, please go to Adam Chance’s channel and react to solo work, especially his interpretation of “Driver’s License “…it’s so wonderful. Also, HF “I Can’t Outrun You “…it’s a Chance lead, he directed the video, and it’s hauntingly beautiful. He has such a warm voice, he deserves some recognition.

[@reginaminton1135]

Now that was fun wasn't it. Tim so clean with his high tenor. Austin staying in his lower voice is great also. Then you have Chris Chatham with a beautiful voice. Chris Marian on guitar in the back and Sebastien Douyon on keyboard are very good. There is a song out there with Tim's bandmates from way back with Chris Chatham and two others...Tim Foust...Edge of Glory...really good and fun to watch. When the song is over he mentions..."this is for my little monsters"...he was a substitute math teacher. Just a little more fun about Tim. Thanks for a great reaction, so much fun.

[@sherrettemccarthy5703]

I love the way Austin keeps looking at Tim,with that smile of his.

[@joanwharff6483]

Oh, yeah….Tim is Unreal with his range …… he’s just a killer of sound & Not forced …..just his God given Talent 🥰🔥‼️🔥 Austin also has a solo of “NEON MOON” on his channel. It’s Very Good 🥰🔥‼️

[@dianalarue3685]

Can't wait until you get to Austin's rendition of Unchained Melody. I see many biscuits in the future... love your reactions! 😉

[@lonniaabye5745]

You should react to Tim’s new a Capella album, where he sings and make all the voices himself. 😍

[@bessiecomer8221]

Lol, I love it when people are blown away by Tim's range! And when he says "oh heck yeah" down in the subbasement. I think the 3 of them sounded great together. PS I love your reactions!

[@creativecrewfam]

Thanks for watching! I’m glad you enjoy :)

[@annehffry3284]

See why we all wanted you to react to this one. I can’t get enough of this performance!

[@tracyz9155]

Love the flip on this. Love Austin’s channel. Thanks for your reaction

[@mimimisty]

What a great reaction! I can not wait for your reaction to “Mayday”! And please, please do Austin’s rendition of “Tears in heaven”! It’s probably my favorite solo of Austin’s! Have a beautiful day! ❤️

[@bruinwi]

Tim was originally trained as a Tenor, which goes a long way in explaining his upper registers.

[@babyfry4775]

Hahaha I was so hoping you’d listen to Tim speak. It’s such a funny contrast as you said to hear him singing in the tenor range and then speaking in bass. Whew! Chris Chatham has a nice voice too and is a longtime friend of Tim’s. They collaborate a lot together. They both wrote the song Land of the Free which they made a video of this past summer. Good reaction Chris!

[@creativecrewfam]

Thanks for watching! :)

[@quiltie1774]

Chris Chatham is on guitar. Childhood friend of Tim’s. Chris is a BEAST with music!

[@davidwhulbertiv5958]

Dad gum!!! You are hilarious...

[@stormrider4477]

Charismatic Voice did a great interview with Tim, if you're looking for more inside info you should definitely check it out!

[@carinalindberg7377]

It gets me every single time when Tim starts to speak in his normal voice after singing so high and so clearly so high. Chris Chatham can be seen in several of Austin's videos and in Tim's videos. He's a longtime friend of Tim's and they used to be in an acapella group called the Alley Cats together. There are videos of the Alley Cats performing at Tim's Birthday Bash from this past summer and they are really good and funny. He's co-written some of the Home Free songs with Tim, including Land of the Free. Great reaction! Thank you! 🥰🙏

[@edithdavis2848]

Chris Chattem is an old friend of Tim's then the other is Tims brother in-law. Then Sebastian on piano is Austins long time friend.

[@sheilacooke1543]

Tim’s the one who dropped that bass note in Helplessly Hoping.

[@rebeccagibbs8794]

I think the word you're looking for is... BISCUIT!!! 😉❤️

[@debbiehall9091]

They are so good and so down home.❤️

[@aprilebert157]

So glad you checked this one out! It makes my heart happy. ❤

[@nikkibanning176]

Love this song, especially with Austin, Tim and friends singing it.

[@margfried8796]

I always laugh after I hear Tim talk after this video too and I've listened to it every day since its release.

[@MommaBird52]

The other Chris is Tim's brother-in-law. November is Alzheimers awareness month so I am requesting that you react to Glenn Campbell's final recording after being diagnosed with Alzheimers in his early 70s. After being diagnosed he did a 16 month tour doing just under 150 show throughout North America and Europe. Through muscle memory he remained capable of continuing to play his guitar and this slowed the dementia that comes with this disease. His final recording in 2014 was I'm Not Going To Miss You. I am requesting this to honor all patients and families affected by this horrid disease.

[@VJ_9014]

I love this video! They all sound so good together! I also get a kick out of Tim singing high throughout and then starts talking in his natural bass. 😆 You should check out Tim's version of "Can't Help Falling In Love". There's no video, just audio. It's gorgeous and shows his range really well. You'll love it!

[@MN_Home_Fry]

I would add The Thunder Rolled (believe it is on Marcia's channel) as a good Tim & Chris collab. As mentioned, Austin's channel has some great stuff including a collab with Tim's wife, Jennika on "Signed, Sealed, Delivered" and a relatively new Eric Clapton cover by Austin & Chris. All are great!

[@sandym6760]

Tim sang Tenor in High School when his voice dropped into the sub basement. He just never stopped exercising his upper range :)

[@mamabear-gu4oo]

This was amazing I can imagine what it would b like if the added the rest of home free to do back ground. Tim and Austin are Austin are awesome they will do back yard parties 🥳 my dream🥰💭

[@maryreynolds5723]

Tim can go higher than that! Someone will actually suggest the video that will prove it, or you will find it. LOL….. I will just enjoy it when I see it.

[@susansundaram6737]

Enjoyed watching your reaction to this song. Two songs to check out: Tim and Chris doing "When The Thunder Rolls" and Home Free doing "Snowglobe" which Tim co-wrote. Take care -be well.

[@creativecrewfam]

Thanks for watching! I’m glad you enjoyed :)

[@jolenegeffre3281]

Please react to Austin Brown singing Unchained Melodies. It’s amazing.

[@kellywilliams364]

Tim was having to much fun with that!!

[@timothymartin8498]

You like Tim’s range, get your butt over to Mayday!!

[@patcline2298]

Chris Please Listen to Snow Globe next. It's a Christmas love song written by Tim and features him. It will blow you away!!!! It was from the Christmas album from last year. Austin sings one that will bring you to tears as well. They are so talented singing and writing music.

[@stanrock2225]

Awesome

[@BSGNative]

Tim is in the process of making an acapella solo album where he sings all the parts. The songs are all doo-wop songs. He's been releasing the individual tracks to his Patrons as he records them. The latest track was released last week & is a medley of two tunes, Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow (The Shirelles) & Stay (The 4 Season) And Tim sings part of Stay in falsetto just like Frankie Valli did. And they're GOOD! Just become one of Tim's Patrons & you can hear them. (No reaction since they're not yet available to the public - but I think you would enjoy listening to them.)

[@Jeff-oc2rc]

More of Tim's upper registry, try Snow Globe. It'll blow you away too.

[@Quizzy0000]

btw i do really like the guy with the guitar and blue shirt he has a really nice voice also.

[@minneyruth]

❤❤❤❤

[@TheRealXesc]

Oooohh!!! I can't wait!!! :)

[@kathleenlind7595]

If you haven´t, check out Tim Foust Will you still love me tomorrow/stay, his range is amazing!

[@KayOhio]

Love their singing! Thanks for your reaction!

[@jankreps5115]

Great reaction to this collaboration!! They are singing from a deck in Austin’s backyard. Chris Marion is Tim Foust brother-in-law on the bass guitar! Tim’s wife Jenica Marion also sings and plays violin sometimes. Chris Chatham has been in several videos of Tim’s birthday celebrations!! Looking forward to your next reaction!!

[@creativecrewfam]

Thanks for watching! I’m glad you enjoyed :)

[@garylushman615]

You will Love Home free version of cams Mayday

[@rodconner9079]

[@maureenpaterson6730]

[@creativecrewfam]

Glad you enjoyed! Thanks for watching!

[@Quizzy0000]

[@patriciamcl54]

Is Austin ever going to finish that deck? We didn't really need a pile of timber in the corner!

[@leamescher3535]

Hi Christopher. Love the concept of all things creative. I am a huge fan of vocal groups like Home Free, VoicePlay and others and am always looking for reactors who discover them. I love to see the band mates collaborate with their many talented friends. If you are a movie lover, I would suggest “ACA Top 10 Movie Themes” by VoicePlay and ft. Rob Lundquist. Do you think a comparative analysis of songs done by different groups is an interesting idea for the Winter Holiday Season? For instance, “Do You Hear What I Hear” by (HomeFree/PTX), “Oh Come All Ye Faithful” by (Voctave/PTX), or “You’re a Mean One, Mr. Grinch” by (VoicePlay/Voctave/PTX). I think you will find a lot of fans willing to make suggestions; I know I can never help myself from doing so ;) I look forward to see where your channel takes you.

[@creativecrewfam]

Thanks for the comment! I definitely loveeee film scores so I’ll check that out. I think comparison videos may be fun!

[@mosaiceyes2020]

If you want to hear how good Tim's high range is, listen to the "Mayday" cover

[@karinfichtner7479]

I forget......have you reacted to Tim's solo album yet?

[@creativecrewfam]

Some of them

[@deidrestevens9385]

What you aren't understanding is Tim can sing as high as Austin. He was Tenor one, before he expanded it his range to bass

[@jillchamberlain6478]

Watching this again with you. I think Austin is singing the lowest part on this one. Chris Chatham is probably hitting the highest harmony part.

[@heidicook2739]

Someone said Chris is Tim’s brother in law.

[@sandyblack2687]

Weird when Austin is singing the lower notes!!! Good but weird!!

[@deidrestevens9385]

Chris Chatham. NOPE ITS TIM

[@quiltie1774]

Kinda crazy when Austin is the lowest voice in the band!

[@MommaBird52]

When Austin is the lowest voice in the group...

[@richardbeggarly9674]

Sorry, I don't know what you were listening to, but I heard three cats in a room full of rocking chairs.
