Mitch is what is known as a counter-tenor. That is his voice. He sounds just like that on stage.

[@terrilabeth]

Watch their latest tour of this song live….2022….it is so good! And the autotune was only because Cher used it so heavily in the 90’s. They are just that great! Also watch their Star Spangled Banner performance from this year’s College Championship. Not many have reacted to it yet.

[@margretrosenberg420]

The guy you identified as their bass is actually Kevin Olusola (pronounced Oh-loosh"-oh-luh', primary emphasis on the second syllable, secondary emphasis on the fourth), their beatboxer. True pentaholics all know how important Kevin is. Not only is he one of the best beatboxers in the world (if not THE best), he's a genius. Kevin has a degree from Yale's pre-med program; he speaks five languages, including Mandarin; he's classically trained since childhood on piano, saxophone, and cello; he has perfect pitch; he's performed at Carnegie Hall twice, once on saxophone and once on cello; and he's an incredibly kind person. And when he laughs the whole world seems like a brighter place. Their real bass is the other black guy, Matt Sallee (pronounced Suh-lee', emphasis on the second syllable). Matt truly does tend to be underrated, at least by some fans, because his style is quieter than Avi's. (Avi, pronounced Ah'-vee, emphasis on the first syllable, Kaplan was their original bass but he left in 2017 for personal reasons and was replaced by Matt.) When Avi would begin his bass harmony line everyone noticed. People who hear those older recordings regularly say things like, "Oh, Avi! I love that bass!" whenever he'd begin singing, regardless of who was actually performing the solo. Yes, Avi's voice is beautiful. Yes, Avi has a phenomenal range. But Avi himself has stated that he's more comfortable in his solo career than he was with Pentatonix, and Matt loves being in Pentatonix. And Matt also has a beautiful voice and a phenomenal range, he just tends to keep his volume down when he's singing harmony so as not to overwhelm the soloist, so people don't notice how good he is.

[@candacelong7643]

Matt was even underrated in your post as you highlighted Avi more 🤣🤣🤣

[@margretrosenberg420]

@@candacelong7643 Unavoidable. The easiest way to demonstrate what Matt does is to demonstrate what he doesn't do and that means comparing him to Avi. I assume you've watched "Aha Singapore the Star Vista," because most pentaholics have; I certainly have. I love it. And for me, the best thing about that video isn't Mitch going hyperactive on the high part; it's Avi systematically destroying the sound system. I find that hilarious. I think Matt could do that just as well as Avi did; I think he currently has a range that is nearly identical to Avi's and that his range is still growing. I'm a huge fan of Matt. But I also think that we'll never see something like that from Matt, specifically because he restrains himself. And for my money, that restraint is even more impressive than the ability to blow out speakers.

[@im2yz4u17]

The beauty of PTX is that if you do not believe then watch it live. The only addin is autotune on the Cher song as an homage to the original. Cher was one of hte first in the 90's to make use of autotune and that song was iconic for the song and the tune.

[@chadbwilliams]

Oh i see!

[@haselmaus8054]

They only used auto-tune on the Cher parts, because she was the first one who used that ...

[@ruth2141]

In the early years, Pentatonix stuck to the "rules" of a capella, but even then there was sound editing on their studio recordings. They have a genius sound editor they have worked with for years, Ed Boyer, who specializes in a capella. PTX members almost always record their parts separately and he balances the parts and applies echo and other effects to sharpen the sound. There's a couple of interviews with Boyer you can find online where he talks about what he does. In the last few years, Pentatonix has experimented more with sound processing, adding instruments, extra vocal layers, etc. audio processing, etc., particularly on their original songs, where they are trying to get a current pop sound. They also work with experienced pop producers and sound editors in addition to their regular team. However, Pentatonix can still perform most of their songs live and sound almost the same as the studio version.

[@noelpauley5381]

That’s called being “Mitch slapped” lol (and this is not nearly as high as he can go) ❤️🥰

[@kinjiru731]

That's Mitch's real voice singing the "everybody dance now." Dude has an insanely great range. They did use autotune in a couple places in this, which is very unusual for Pentatonix, but it fits the 90's theme.

[@margretrosenberg420]

The person singing "Beautiful Life" is Matt, their bass. His actual range goes up to the middle of the tenor range. When Cher originally performed "Believe" she used autotune as a special effect, so this is one of the rare cases where Pentatonix uses autotune, in order to remain true to the original. You can hear the distortion in Kirstin's voice.

[@UserHorologium]

Pentatonix (like all professionally recorded musicians) adds reverb (the echoing sound) in their studio productions. This is not cheating, it's just part of the recording process. They generally don't do a whole lot of other studio tricks in their earlier stuff. The newer stuff (including this medley) uses a few more effects, including the iconic Autotune on "Believe" (and an effect on "Blue"), a bit of something on Kevin's drums on "Gonna Make You Sweat", and some effects on "It Feels So Good". Listen to the live performances to hear the little differences.

[@Bpg5012trick]

Yes every recording artists has effects done to their recordings.

[@MariaGolay]

You need to watch the live version of this. They sound the same and they don't miss one beat! I have seen them 3 times in concert. It will be 4 times come August. They are unbelievable live!!!!

[@elmarwinkler6335]

Chadwick, Mitch is a counter tenor, thats the highest singing voice of a male singer. He can even sing a whistle. Matt Sallee is the bass to Barton, Scott has a insane voice reach, from bass to almost tenor. Kirstin is a so called memo soprano, the almost highest singing voice with females. Kevin, the beatboxer is a tenor. Be safe. Elmar from Germany

[@margretrosenberg420]

Scott's range actually runs from the middle of the bass range to the middle of the tenor range, with falsetto on top of that. I believe he has something like a 5 or 6 octave range. Mitch's range is just over 6 octaves, but he's most comfortable in his higher registers. Kirstin is listed as a mezzo soprano, which is the lowest soprano range, just above alto. But that's because mezzo is her preferred range. In real life she sings all the way from the low alto range (though not contralto, which is more like a baritone) through coloratura soprano, which really is the highest soprano range. Kirstin sings as high as Mitch, and her whistle notes are better than his, as Mitch himself says.

[@elmarwinkler6335]

@@margretrosenberg420 Thank you for correcting me. I like to help, but I am not a pentatonic.PEACE.

[@margretrosenberg420]

@@elmarwinkler6335 No problem. I only know about soprano ranges because unlike Kirstin I really am a mezzo soprano. It limits the songs I can sing. I can generally transpose, but even transposed some songs simply require a greater range than I possess. Sigh.

[@codysherwood7050]

Mitchs range is actually 9 octaves and 3 tones

[@codysherwood7050]

And to justified his sound and voice he is the highest male vocalist and singer dimash is #2 and the dude that does that Disney song perfect he’s #3 quick fact Mitch and Dimash can sing in multiple languages go through each passage with ease like it’s nothing for them but mitch does go higher and sing higher and sound better melodically and vocally and can do higher whistle notes dimash is there to but he can’t go higher then mitch that’s why mitch is truly one of a kind person no one will ever sound like mitch and we will never prolly get another person that sounds like him(male or female) he has a octave range of 9 and 3 tones dimash has 6-7 octaves and 2 tones ariana grande 5 octaves 1 tone etc but ya no one will be on Mitch’s level

[@Gwennedd]

Okay...Kevin ( in the black leather/white jackets) is the beatboxer ( he's also a tenor with a high falsetto...and plays cello, sax and keyboard...at concert level). Matt ( in the blue check and red jackets) is the bass with a superb range and a surprising falsetto ( he also plays drums, so he and Kevin make a great team) . Mitch is the countertenor ...highest voice for a man...and it's natural to him to have that high a range. Yes, he's trained, but he doesn't have to push his voice to reach the really high notes. Kirstie is a mezzo soprano...between alto and soprano, but she has an amazing range ( they all do) and great belting abilities. Scott is a baritone but his range is impressive...he takes on the bass when Avi or Matt take lead and can reach alto in high register...and has a falsetto! They do this song live and it' sounds exactly the same. Miles Reuben has all the songs from the Hollywood Bowl ( November last year) on his channel all separated the different songs. This 90's Dance Medley is on there. You should check it out and see how close to the official video they are. Yes there was autotune used for Cher's song...as a nod to her use of it. Normally they don't ever use it. There is a bit of post production on their official videos....that's normal for the industry, but they keep it to a minimum because they want to be able to do the songs live and have it sound exactly the same.

[@kellymaldia128]

They won The Sing Off in 2011. They made a guest starring appearance on America's Got Talent as non-competitors a couple of years after that. The founding members are:- Scott Hoying (tall blond guy, natural baritone but has an impressive five-to-six octave range, can go all the way up to high tenor and down to bass, sings the bass lines when the usual bass.

Kirstie, Scott & Mitch grew up together in Arlington, Texas, and began performing together as children in local youth musical theater. They ended up in high school together and performed in the choir. While there, they formed an a cappella group called The Trio which had several performance videos go viral on KZbin, most notably a cover of Lady Gaga's "Telephone". The three of them are best friends and consider themselves to be almost siblings. Scott & Kirstie (who were a class vear ahead of Mitch) both graduated high school in 2010 and went their separate ways to different colleges, Scott at USC. While at USC, Scott joined a USC-based a cappella group called the SoCal VoCals, where he met alumnus Ben Bram, who was now an arranger and vocal coach for the NBC TV show The Sing Off, an a cappella competition show. Ben convinced Scott to get The Trio to audition for the show. The three reunited (Mitch had to skip high school graduation ceremonies to go) in Los Angeles for the audition. They found out that the rules had changed, so they needed at least five members to audition. Ben put them together with Avi (a native of Visalia, California), who he knew from Avi's performing days at Mount San Antonio College in California. They found Kevin (from Kentucky) through one of his KZbin videos that had gone viral featuring him playing the cello and beatboxing at the same time, a talent that Kevin coined as "Cello-Boxing". Kevin arrived in Los Angeles literally the day before the audition! Scott came up with the name "Pentatonix" after the pentatonic scale. They performed a re-arrangement of "The Telephone" for the audition and passed, despite having been together as a five-piece group for less that 24 hours! They won The Sing Off that season (all of the performances are available on KZbin), in which they received a substantial cash prize AND a record contract with Epic Records. They pooled their prize winnings together and all moved to Los Angeles, and all got apartments right next door to each other in the same building. But just a week later, Epic dropped them because the marketing people didn't think an a cappella group could sell records. Instead of giving up, they were determined and began recording their own songs on KZbin, hiring Ben Bram as their producer and arranger. These usually consisted of the five of them but when their cover of a medley of songs by Daft Punk not only went super-viral, but also won them their first Grammy, they were promoted all the way up to RCA Records, Sony's top label. They began writing and producing their own songs in addition to their covers, began putting out a Christmas album just about annually (which has become their best-selling genre), and have had multi-platinum album sales, sold-out world tours, and have won two additional Grammys. Avi began getting burned out with all of the touring and heavy recording schedule, was suffering from anxiety and personal problems, and learned that his mother had been diagnosed with cancer in 2017. He announced he was departing from the group and taking some time away from the music industry. Matt Sallee (from Baltimore) was brought in as the new bass singer in early 2018. When he attended the audition for the group, he had already mastered the Bass part for most if not all their past catalogue. He was successful and has proved that he fits in well with the group. After a year away from music, Avi has now returned as a phenomenal solo artist in the Folk/Americana/Roots genre. Ben Bram has been in charge of their production, including arranging and directing from the beginning. He is often referred to as the sixth member. Scott and Kevin are major players in the arrangements, but every member contributes. Also, all members are songwriters for both Pentatonix and their own solo work. Ed Boyer who mixes everything of theirs (even the HWB Livestream) is the one who pulled Ben Bram into the sing off in the first place. They have been nominated for a 4th Grammy. Ed Boyer who mixes everything of theirs (even the HWB Livestream) is the one who pulled Ben Bram into the sing off in the first place. They have been nominated for a 4th Grammy for their album Evergreen. Kirstie became a new mum which caused a pause in touring after their Evergreen Christmas tour 2021. They have announced that they will have a star on the Hollywood walk of fame to be installed next year.

Watch their live.

[@chadbwilliams]

Ok!

[@bonnieflynn4798]

Check out their Bohemian Rhapsody, Havana , Come Along, evolution of Rihanna , the Prayer, rather Be, Problem They do it perfectly with practice.

[@diannecardenas9866]

Only added auto tune in one song, Cher's. She was the first artist to use auto tune. All the voices are theirs with no special effect added.

[@chadbwilliams]

Oh ok!

[@nemosays6337]

My thoughts in a word TALENT!

[@tamarasmith9060]

They did add a bit of autotune in a few places for authentic sound on this medley, as the 90s was when pop started bringing it in as an edm effect (instead of trying to sneakily fix vocal mistakes). PTX is always up front about anything not 100% a cappella. Still they do perform these live & if you compare their live performances to their official audio/video you can hear that it's practically identical & they really don't tweak them much in studio. When they arrange them they are thinking of how to do them live, because that's the point of a cappella.

[@peteswing8511]

They used autotune in homeage to Cher but everthing else is them .. try DaftPunk mix they rock

[@kerryjohnson4328]

When they sing Do you believe in life after love, they did briefly use auto-tune because that is the effect Cher used when she recorded the song.

[@ruth2141]

As for how they manage to stay together on a live performance, it amazes me. I would love to know what they are getting in their earpieces. Maybe a click track? I've sung in on-stage choruses with no conductor and monitors aren't always enough; now and then I watch the lips of the singers on the other side of the stage.

[@margretrosenberg420]

Yes, they have a click track in their earpieces. And Scott and Kirstin both say that if they have trouble getting their note right they listen for Mitch, who is ALWAYS on the right note, and adjust accordingly. They also both say that the biggest problem they have in live performances is that every once in a while they'll notice that they've simply stopped singing, because it was interfering with listening to Mitch's beautiful voice. 😉 I think Mitch is finally starting to believe them.

[@michaelf8702]

As others have mentioned, Cher was one of the first, if not the first to use Auto-Tune and she used it on that song, Believe. So they were paying homage to her when they covered it and used auto-tune as well

[@goldfishwatching1619]

Check out some of the fan collections of Mitch and Scott mimicking! Mitch being a Sharpie is hilarious, but it shows how they all can control their vocals.

[@InkWellideas]

Definitely - Aliyah too - - yes they used auto tune here, as Cher did, for "Believe" - but do this live in concert - “90s Dance Medley” pentatonix live at the Hollywood Bowl 2022 live stream

[@jeffreyphipps1507]

Cher (in the 90s) specifically added an effect (not hiding it) called autotune. It was unique to use it purposely because it could cause odd side effects. Cher used it because it did. For her song, they used it for effect. This song came out during the height of COVID. Whether it would be done in concert is debatable, however it could be done if they chose to do Cher's song with autotune. They could also add some songs and leave Cher's song out. There are studio edits used to join parts, but these could easily be practiced for live performances. They have the skills.

[@Truebie]

They’ve been experimenting with sound effects and so for some of their videos they can use them. I was blessed enough to see them at the Hollywood Bowl last September and they performed this and it sounded pretty much the same 😝

[@9012505]

Watch the 2022 Hollywood Bowl live stream version. It has no audio effects added.

[@Texastigerdigsdetects]

Listen to them live! The changes in this video were used because that was the nature of the music then. Live they are just as good though it’s different.

[@patbrewer4205]

Mitch has a range of 6 octaves and the Trio Scott Mitch and Kirstie have known each other since middle school

[@susanpeterson9947]

Their sound guy may add reverb and of course the studio sound is balanced so that no one voice covers up the others. By all means listen to their live performances to see how well they do it with no production. They’ve been singing together for so long that they get out of each other’s way perfectly. And yes, auto tune was used as an effect in two songs because it was (much more heavily) used in those original songs.

[@davidbuchanan3374]

If you want to be MITCH SLAPPED watch the PENTATONIX AHA the star vista. The ending is incredible and you'll hear MITCH's high-end vocals and it's live..❤️👍

[@johnwarwick6284]

you should both also check out the "evolution" videos they do several including Ariana Grande Beyonce Michael jackson so mention but a few they are fantastic because they are done in one take with just 2 microphones so it is vertually live

[@philipkudrna5643]

Yes, they added some effects and even some autotune on this one, because autotune was invented in the late nineties (and first appeared on Cher‘s „Believe“). But normally they don‘t use autotune, but of course studio effects like sourround/echo/hall…

[@patriciaalvareztostado8170]

What you need to do is hear and watch this Dance 90s Medley, live and you could see what they do, like others said, the autotune is in "Believe of Cheer, because she used on her music, they have someone who help them with some effects, but this are they voices,

[@frankhartranft1588]

Mitch is a Counter Tenor - a very high regular range - so am I but Mitch does it really well

[@jeffreyphipps1507]

Mitch's voice is in the soprano range - No effect is required to get it that high. Very few songs from the 1990s are actually represented here - but some of the best are.

[@df5199]

The autotune towards the end was to keep the song to the original. There isn't a lot of effects added. Maybe some reverb. You should really listen to them live. Recommend their cover of Can You Feel The Love Tonight.

[@kylebeckley194]

Ya gotta watch a live performance amazing

[@romanmaimo1468]

80’s and 90’s music was the best

[@chadbwilliams]

agreed

[@stonemansteveiii3135]

They used autotune for that part in the Cher song, because it was the 1st mainstream song to use it.

[@glorianemayer4749]

They sing themselves with no instruments. Called A Cappella. Kevin is a beat boxer. He makes the beat.

[@ElysiaFields19]

Auto-tune was first used with songs in the 90's. They only used it because of the song they were performing. Otherwise PTX does not use auto-tune. Do yourselves a favor and watch some of their live performances and be amazed. There is a great video of them putting their Evergreen album together in the recording studio. You get to experience them creating as they go along. So much fun to watch. Also all of their "evolution of:" videos give you a really good look at how they do a medley of songs of a specific artist in one take. They do the whole thing a number of times and choose the best one to release but it is not edited together, just one seamless performance and they are awesome. 💖💖💖💖💖

[@miguelsilva3867]

Like others have said, you should definitely listen to the live version because you can listen to Mitch's voice and how similar it is to the actual official video. Mitch is probably my favorite singer in the group. I think Kristie, I think, really gets over looked but she is really good as well. I would check out Amazing Grace My Chains Are Gone. If you listen to the live version of this song, you won't hear the auto tune and it still sounds amazing.

[@Masq1980]

You should check out their performances on the show 'The Sing Off', it's where they got their start and I think you would really enjoy watching how they were in the beginning compared to how they sound -now-. They were on the Sing Off 3rd season. There's about 12 performances plus the finale where they announce the winner (spoiler they won). Scott is indeed the King of Runs, one of the judges was a huge Scott fan and kept praising his riffs and runs lol. Mitch and Kirstie were a bit more withdrawn during that time period and Mitch kept his voice in a lower tenor range throughout the performance (he'd been teased a lot in high school for his high voice) and doesn't really come out a bit until I believe the 12th performance and even then it isn't the true 'Mitch Slap' we know and love today. Also I would suggest checking out their Evolution of's (Music, Michael Jackson, Rhianna, Arianna Grande, NSYNC, and Beyoncé) They are simply amazing and done in 1 take. Their shifts and transitions are just simply flawless!

[@joebarnhart4460]

You have good ears! Yes, they used "auto tune" on the "Life After Love" track because when Cher recorded it, it was the first use of auto tune in a pop song. So they did it as an homage to the original.

[@jayZ1981]

The only time anything was added in this entire song was when they did Believe by Cher

[@martycullison4095]

They did use autotune in the video becaused the were honoring the Original Artist. I subscribed to your channel, I like to see young people enjoying PTX. You should react to a live version of 90;s dance medley, there are seveal on you tube, Thank you

[@lisas3923]

Watch some of their live videos - You'll understand.

[@Badger77722]

05:36 "I'm glad they have a girl's voice...." Oddly, while the other two big a cappella groups on KZbin are also 5 members each, neither has a female member. Home Free is 5 guys, and VoicePlay has had occasional female guest artists in the past couple of years because they are 1 member short, but their original lineup has always been all-male. One of the reasons I like PTX is because of Kirstie's inclusion, as I think the female voice gives them a versatility that the others don't quite have, regardless of how good their high male tenors might be. Of course, it doesn't hurt that Kirstie is very easy on the eyes! If you haven't seen Kevin's cover of Down on his solo channel, you're underestimating just how talented he is - it doesn't matter how good you think he may be, he's actually better! Just search for "Kevin Olusola down" and you'll see it - I guarantee it will surprise you!

[@Bpg5012trick]

You would think Voice play would realise it's the songs with the female singers that do best

[@donny1960]

The hit "Believe" from Cher was one of the first to use Auto tune....... PTX emulated the effect. That song without the effect would not be the same. Also a couple of other songs in this medley used it too. Again to emulate the originals. It's not that big a deal. These guys can sing and sing and sing. They do not need to be helped by electronics.

[@Caveing]

On this video they used autotune on the songs that used it on the original, such as one or more by Cher. Otherwise.....its them. Yea, we all understand, we went through that and the Mitch Slap periods too. :)

[@ginawhitfield6797]

That is Mitch's actual Voice

[@katmit69]

Mitch is a true Counter Tenor and has a very specific Timbre to his voice, so he can hit very high and unusual notes. In this video do add the "cher" effect when they sing the Cher song, but the rest of it is just them. They do this live in their concerts. It's awesome. And yes they do generally record their parts separately, and the sound engineer puts them together. And Home Free does not have a "girl" and they are not at all boring..not as good as PTX..but they are pretty amazing.

[@rina751]

That's his voice and you should give kudos even if you get "mitch-slapped"

[@davebrownlee8506]

[@chadbwilliams]

Okay!

[@philipem1000]

That's totaly Mitch. They use autotune in the Cher / Believe but only becuase the effect is part of the original. PTX mkes sure that it can do its music live in concert so they almost never use anything otehr than maybe a little reverb.

[@Bpg5012trick]

You can't sing Cher's song Do You Believe, with out using auto tune, that's what the song is famous for other than that they don't use voice effects or paste and copy because they sing it live in concert. In concert they don't use the Cher auto tune effect just their normal voices.

[@yoclark2723]

Cher's song was the first to use autotune as a feature in music back in the 90's PTX is staying true to her version. Just to respect her vision.

[@cherylwilliams9360]

Autotune! They started using it on Cher's song because it was true to the song and the period. They don't use it on live performances of course.

[@scottboyd9383]

Cher was pretty much the first auto tune user. They are paying homage to her by using it in this song. they normally do not use it any. Only with Mitch and kirstie. It was a medley and it ended just fine. Maybe research some on this particular song because they did things they normally do not do. It is a cover . Listen to Chers song I believe in Love and you will see why they did that.

[@jeffreyjordan4290]

They used a bit of auto tuning on Cher's song to make it sound more like her's.

True story so about 11 years ago maybe 12 when they were in highschool well Mitch Kirstin and Scott that is that went to the same highschool in Texas together and well Mitch was bullied and picked on for having a girl’s voice his voice was always high and he not only nurtured it but he played with it, played around with it, reaching notes no other person can reach and his belts are one of a kind too, I mean I won’t talk about it much since you’ll get a lot of comments saying what I’m basically telling u but Mitch is basically super-human or an alien the only one that has 9 octaves and 3 tones for a reason he’s the highest vocalist then any female and male singer in the music industry but ya anyway into some personal stuff with their lives Mitch and Kirstin(Kirstie) some people call her (Thirstie) for a nickname since it sounds like Kirstie well him and her dated for a few years on and off multiple of times truly I thought they were gonna get married but then he came out as gay and she was fine with it and wanted him happy but they dated while he was gay but he told her that they should just be friends since he couldn’t keep her fulfilled like he use to since he came out so they broke up but are still really close and Scott also came out but they are extremely happy and we pentaholics always support our guys we want nothing but the best for each of them

They use auto tune on the Cher song because it made it true to how Cher does it.

If you had have heard the originals to these songs, you'd understand the nods they did to the original performers - the parts you "didn't like" were using techniques used in these performances. Think of it as a tribute to the songs and performers. Suggestion for you - take the time to actually listen to the originals, if you care to

Copyright makes it hard to do that!

Because PTX music liscence is so harsh on copywrite, reviewers can't just watch the whole thing through with no pauses because it will get blocked

[@johnwakefield9378]

Auto tune. Cher needed it they don’t it’s just a tribute to char and her use of auto tune

[@marablemorgan8292]

They used autotune as homage to Cher...

You need to stop pausing too much. I would like to go on a music adventure watching you.
