Rachel Potter is a Broadway actress who got her start playing Ariel in the stage shows at Disney World. That's where she met some of the guys who were also working there as singers. So she really has the voice of a Disney Princess!

[@christinestromberg4057]

To be fair everything they do is a treat. They don't ever disappoiont. But Hoist The Colours is amazing. Buckle up for that ride.

[@bradleywalton970]

The Halo Theme is pretty crazy too. Geoff hits a B0, the lowest note we've heard from him

[@christinestromberg4057]

@@bradleywalton970 Apparent;y he said it took him a long time to manage it. :)

[@realbser1956]

Jeff reacted to that song about a week ago. Check it out. 👍

[@mityakiselev]

Geoff is that one uncle who takes Halloween a little bit too seriously

[@carolfranklin]

I adore this medley. Thrash metal Geoff, Manic Layne, Snail J None, Seagull Eli & sweet mermaid Rachel what's not to like!

[@christinestromberg4057]

Nice.

[@miapendragon5240]

This medley was my introduction to VoicePlay and it's one of my favourites of them, Rachel is a great friend of theirs, she's been the most featured in their videos, they even have a playlist in their channel with only collaborations with Rachel. If you want to see more of her check out their version of Phantom of the Opera, the Moana Medley and Kidnap the Sandy Claws (this one is good for Halloween). J. None was their baritone that just left this year to the Navy, you've seen him before in Carry On Wayward Son, Queen in 5 minutes... Now there's Cesar who you saw in Hoist the Colors. Btw Layne arranged this one and Eli did the lightning.

[@CynicalTesuji]

Ooh, and Attention, originally by Charlie Puth. Rachel and VoicePlay absolutely kill that, and not a lot of reactors have checked it out. Shame, really.

[@veronicathunander4579]

Yes I agree with all of them and Attention with Rachel too! It's great!!

[@morrisonlover44]

A big metal lover jamming with the little mermaid 😍😍 Just adorable. I couldn't stop smiling with your reaction

[@MetalGuyReacts]

Thanks Catalina! VP and Rachel knocked this out of the park 😁🤘🏼

[@NicholasAHart]

If your a gamer & Love Halo. Then I know for a fact, that you will have tons of Goosebumps with Voiceplay's "Halo Theme". It is the best accapala cover I have ever heard. Take Care & God Bless.

[@ShyAnn291]

Make sure to watch until the very end too!

[@MiladyMacabre]

Geoff called the character "Geoffsula" - She sang Ariel and Vanessa, and actually sang Part of Your World several times a day for quite a while at Disney World

[@jessicacifelli5496]

Rachel Potter also sings in the Phantom of the Opera video that Voice Play does as well. That is one of my favorites of theirs. My other favorite is If I Were A Rich Man/Girl which is absolutely stunning!

[@gilliandrysdale5306]

this is a great one Moanna also features Rachel Potter it’s not quite as elaborate but still a lot of fun

[@dindixie]

I second Moanna, great arrangement, fantastic performance!

[@tracyz9155]

The movie in a few minutes. It’s wonderful. Thanks for your reaction. And since it’s October, “This is Halloween” is great

[@Broomrider1492]

Rachel has done a few songs with them. She has that Disney princess voice.

[@lkayh]

Eli has this ability to color his voice for different characters. Less snarl/grit in this, much sweeter. We don’t get to hear Layne sing much, but it hit me this time that he’s actually got that skill as well-in spades, as does Rachel. Lots of singer/actors can do character voices, but SINGING in character voices isn’t something everyone can do. It’s great that these guys are all so multifaceted.

[@evman1094]

Geoffs slide in Poor Unfortunate Souls was D5(mixed) - D1(Sub(i think)). A 4 Octave slide and he still could go both deeper and higher. Its just not fair at this point xD

[@BriyerRose]

They always do a great job. Their boy band medley is good too very creative.

[@shayraby]

This one and Phantom of the Opera with Rachel are 2 of my faves of theirs! i absolutely LOVE The Little Mermaid and Phantom

[@marshayoung9387]

I can't help but fall in love with Geoff's deep bass talking & singing. I love when he plays the evil parts. That bass sound really came out all throughout the song. Thank you again for a great reaction.

[@billparrish4385]

That slide Geoff does that you backed up and replayed, goes from a high of D5 (no small feat for a low baritone, as Geoff describes himself, who's able to cover as much of the low bass range as he does) all the way down (and there's some debate on this) to either a D2 with a D1 layered on (listen carefully while he's sliding, and you'll hear his own low voice layered behind the slide, singing a low harmony), or vice versa. So either a 3-octave slide or a 4-octave slide, and still hitting a D1 with one or the other track, depending on which one he slid to, or layered after. Just an incredible singer, in either case!

[@trishaurvan9439]

Headless Horseman and Grim Grinning Ghosts please

[@CynicalTesuji]

Oh, I could go on and on, with the recommendations for various VoicePlay tracks, and I'm just gonna tell you right now- pick what sounds interesting from what other commenters suggest, because you are really not going to find a bad track among them. Instead, I'm going to take the opportunity this time to hopefully bring another band to your attention. Oddly enough, Geoff and his crazy subharmonics is what led me down the rabbit hole of traditional throat singing, of which some variants (particularly the Mongolian khoomei) operate on basically the same principles. And this led me to the very impressive Mongolian metal band, the Hu. While the Hu is about an 8 man ensemble, it's identified by it's frontsmen and founders (I'm not going to attempt their actual Mongolian names, but give you the shortened nicknames instead)- Gala, Jaya, Enkush and Temka. These guys all have a conservatory background, and Jaya actually taught traditional Mongolian music for about 10 years at a very prestigious university in Mongolia (the same place they all graduated). What makes this group so fascinating is their ability to meld traditional Mongolian music- including folk instruments such as morin khuur (horsehead fiddle; an ridiculously amazing two-stringed instrument that can produce a jaw-dropping variety of sounds), the tovshuur (a three or four stringed Mongolian lute that looks like a very aggressive guitar), the tsuur (an endblown flute without a mouthpiece) and the aman khuur (basically, a jaw harp) alongside bass and electric guitar and drum kit (along with a second set of drums which are likely more traditional, but I haven't found more info about those yet). It's a sound that, on description *shouldn't* work, but in actuality will reach inside you and strike the most primal of chords in your soul. I don't know quite how they connect on that level, but it is immediate, gripping and will make you ready to run out to a raze a village or two! These guys are another group where I will say pretty much anything you choose to listen to is golden, but some good intros are: Wolf Totem, Yuve Yuve Yu, and Sugaan Essena (which is a part of the Star Wars universe, actually!). Or, if you want something a little more familiar to ease in, check out their cover of Metallica's song, Sad But True. It's possibly more intense than the original.

[@CynicalTesuji]

Oops, forgot to mention the tie-in! Along with those instruments I mentioned, they also incorporate traditional throat-singing into their vocals. And not just khoomei, but kargryaa and sygyt, the last of which is closer to Tuvan throat singing, and instead of going deep it produces a high, oscillating near-whistle tone above the sung fundamental note. And damn, these guys make it look so easy! If you pay attention to their video intros, most of them feature a little bit of sygyt, although it's such a weird sound that it's easy to mistake it for some strange instrument instead. But no, it's voice (probably Jaya or Enkush, who are the two I've seen demonstrate the technique. Gala is the one who leans most on khoomei.). One last note, and I swear I'll shut up for a bit- be sure and turn on closed captioning for all their music. Since they sing in Mongolian, they provide translations. It is for sure worth reading them.

[@kaylatepps4682]

You really should check out their Wicked Medley. It is probably one of the best arrangements I've heard and there are a lot of Wicked Medleys out there

[@nikkibanning176]

Gotta love these guys. So great and Rachel adds so much.

[@annoyingthing6238]

I must recommend their Halo Theme. They really just make it their own

[@CybOrSpasm]

You're called "The Metal Guy", but I don't see a video for "The Hu" either "Wolf Totem" or "Yuve Yuve Yu"... Oh, didn't I mention, they do Mongolian metal with traditional instruments! You won't understand a single word, but then again, you really won't care either! };] Yes, they are that good! };] Cheers and please give them a try!

[@realbser1956]

Jeff that was a lot of fun. Shared this with my daughter. She got engaged in front of the castle at Disney World in FL, so she will appreciate this. 👍

[@MaquillageAdore]

I want a full version of poor unfortunate souls that was in the end credits

[@JakerzJ]

Metal guy, you must do Hoist The Colors from Pirates of the Caribbean by them. It’s their latest upload and by FAR their best. Love the vids man!💪💪👍👍

[@realbser1956]

Jeff reacted to that song about a week ago, check it out 👍

[@DaisyGray74]

They can pack so much into a short video. Lol. What a journey. I love when these guys make videos because it’s never JUST music. It’s a show too. Great reaction! 🙌

[@MetalGuyReacts]

Thank you so much for watching Daisy! Voiceplay constantly blows me away! 🤘🏼🤘🏼

[@Resticon]

Love the part @9:32 where J steals Geoff's bass line and Geoff just looks at him like "uhhhh...what?"

[@shirleykarr560]

I truly thought that was a double track of Geoff, but you're right, I can see J's mouth say the line. Very fun!

[@TracyH13]

Isn't this great? They all sound so good !

[@victoriac4317]

The variation on “you dream about going up there” may be my favourite thing in this whole medley😩😍

[@leegriffin2582]

nice metal guy - love music that takes us back to disney songs! love ya

[@floridareedsreviews]

I said the exact same thing when I saw J-non as the snail! I thought it was incredibly creepy!

[@heleng.413]

Hey!!! I'd really love to see your reaction to Voctave, an amazing acapella group known for its Disney Medleys and other covers!!! You can check "Disney Showstoppers Medley"!! Trust me, you won't regret it!!! Greetings from Lebanon🇱🇧🇱🇧!!

[@douglassmith4969]

Great reaction. If you want a little more of VoicePlay with Rachel Potter, check out their Moana Medley or their rendition of Chandelier. You won't be disappointed.

[@Sincyn241]

‘Chandelier’ and ‘Phantom of the Opera’ and the ‘Moana Medley’ are my top favorites with Rachel Potter. Her range is fantastic. Really have no idea how she hasn’t blown up with followers yet.

[@TheBanditofvideos]

Turnpike Troubadours - The Bird Hunters

[@melineantoine1963]

This medley and moana one are so addictive

[@TheCmfjohnston]

I felt like I just watched the movie again

[@rondythurlow7200]

I've enjoyed your reactions to Dimash and Home Free (odd combination, I know) and would like to introduce you to another favorite of mine, Chinese artist Hua Chenyu. Will you please react to "Jackdaw Boy" from Singer 2020?

[@ianp1986]

I’d love to see Geoff play Mufasa
