Singer/Songwriter FIRST TIME REACTING to VOICEPLAY FT. OMAR CARDONA - THE DRAGONBORN COMES (SKYRIM)

[@natebaker3672]

These guys are unreal. They keep raising the bar to levels I didn't realize were possible. Their attention to detail is something else.

[@dorisdonnell8791]

Can't stress enough just how epic they are, in every single way! Special effects, make-up, costumes, setting, light, props, mixing, filming, editing, and a gazillion other things I likely have forgotten to mention! These people are the essence of Artists, and they put so much work, blood, sweat, tears, heart and soul into everything they do! And us mere mortals can all but bask in the glory they bestow upon us, and give them all our love and devotion!

first time I heard this song from VoicePlay I was playing it on my phone (but forgot I'd attached it to our super-sound-system with subwoofer)... I was sitting on a chair with my feet on the subwoofer, nearly got buzzed out of my chair... holy bleep!!!!

[@carolfranklin]

This is so epic a great arrangement by Geoff. Everyone is just so in character musically & visually this is a triumph. I've watched it so. many times & I still get the urge to go on a quest when that bass note drops at the end!

[@candilunsford2878]

Geoff's arrangement. A perfect set and lighting. Authentic costumes and language. Five insanely talented singers. A desire to bring out the emotion of the story they tell. Just EPIC! This is exactly why VoicePlay is my favorite. FUS RO DAH!!! (Force, balance, push in Draconic.) I actually like how they bring in guest stars because they can tailor a piece around that guest's talent or presence. I think it makes for a greater variety of genres.

[@gilliandrysdale5306]

They are amazing and when you consider that they do everything they can themselves makes it even more amazing ❤️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@dtrix102]

One more comment. That sequence where they're singing in dragon speech is insane.

[@marshayoung9387]

No one does a song justice better than Voice Play. They are out of this world epic.

[@shilohauraable]

My son works for the company that makes the Sky Rim game & he recently had an audition w/the Baltimore Symphany Choir Director for the next game soundtrack! And he's been chosen! He's so excited to know his voice is going to be in the actual game! The mix of his 2 world bubble - classical music and one of his favorite video games! And he'll be listed in the "designer team" too. He's over the moon 🎑! 🤗💕

[@dorisdonnell8791]

That is amazing! Congratulations to him from me! 😀

[@wweezy101]

Congrats to him 💯💪🏾

[@bartonbagnes4605]

Unbelievably talented group.

[@alexwalker8440]

This is such an epic masterpiece! All voices are amazing. How do they manage to get better and better? 🤯💯 I'm so grateful this group exists!!

[@DravenGal]

This video is beyond incredible! I think you’ll find “Epic” in almost every comment, and rightly so.

[@mrswipper5882]

ur a legend!

[@DravenGal]

They really made the right choice with Cesar!

[@gabrielestrohmann6832]

The song gives me chills - but so does your reaction! You really feel the music, atmosphere, setting- everything !

[@hannahbristol3662]

I had the same reaction, I just paused a lot more because I just couldn't comprehend. 😊

[@laundrygoddess4]

They have just raised the bar so much this last year. I love all the effort they put in and how original they are with their takes of things. They don't keep it safe and they just slay me every time.

[@nightthornkvala94132]

As to the costumes, Cesar's armor weighed 20 pounds. I used to hang out with a D&D playing Rennie who was very serious about her hobbies. She made her own chain mail armor shirt and those things can wear on the body wearing them too long.

[@christinestromberg4057]

He had to keep lying down on the floor between takes as his shoulders got sore from the weight of it.

[@tracyz9155]

This was epic fantasy. It’s awesome. Thanks for your reaction

[@chasenicotre8853]

An interesting fact about this song is that when they’re singing in chant/another language, that language they’re singing in is the language that the dragons in the game speak in. And when they shout Fus Roh Dah, they’re referring to the most iconic power in the game! I love Voiceplay and the game they took the song from, so to see them do a cover of this song was epic in it of itself! And then they just absolutely slay the dragon that is this song!!! Great reaction video brother!!!

[@davidpratt2007]

A bonus on this amazing song are Brad's facial expressions throughout his reaction!

[@christinestromberg4057]

It give me chills, every time.

[@jennifersmith8923]

Absolute favorite Acapella group!

[@hermithollow2024]

I totally agree…their most impressive stuff is the dramatic. Geoff is just epic!

[@louisep4805]

Your facial expression at 7.31 secs was a sheer delight to see - thank you for the reaction 👌🙏

[@friedemannkemm63]

BTW, Omar is the brother of EJ Cardona (Voctave). Two extraordinary tenors in one family.

[@aaroncoffman88]

I was wondering if they were related. Thanks for that

[@friedemannkemm63]

@@aaroncoffman88 In the comments section of one of the Voiceplay videos featuring Omar, EJ praised his brother's great performance. That's how I learned about them being brothers.

[@aaroncoffman88]

@@friedemannkemm63 I missed that. Cool.

[@DravenGal]

Good idea! Voiceplay should have their own TV show. Like The Monkees.

[@aaroncoffman88]

And after kicking musical behind off they go to kick monster behind. I swear they look like a team a D&D or Skyrim characters. The work they put in shows and is amazing. I am blown away every time. Great reaction Brad. I enjoyed it a lot.

[@stevenstark5650]

I really enjoy your reaction videos. Thank you for your great appreciation of such amazing talent.

[@Robert.Sheard]

Geoff’s super fast two-octave arpeggios… next level.

[@kamelovegaara]

I love your reaction!!!!!

[@sandrapittman1305]

Have you seen Geoff’s KZbin video about hearing loss? It is awesome.

[@josezavala8464]

They're voices and customs are so amazing. The song has this mystical and magical feel like their voices are taking me to a magical land of dragons

[@markw3598]

That opening is a G#1 to a C#1, a nice way to start.

[@dtrix102]

How about that dragon breath? Unreal.

[@edithdavis2848]

Awesome epic, they are so marvelous

[@Broomrider1492]

I love that they put in the special effects at 3:17 that weren't there in the Patreon preview. Some reactors that reacted to the wrong video didn't get to see the effects.

[@alittleaccurate3080]

Liked for a fellow Tennessean!

[@jackyfriedman1963]

Geoff said in the beginning of The Rains of Castamere in patreon... "The throne was uncomfortable to sit on but I did it for you" and pointed at his phone. Behind the scenes at the beginning of Voiceplay New video not yet released he said walking across the parking lot "welcome to another day of why do we do this to ourselves." Voiceplay New video is finished and ready to go when they are. Geoff New video is in production. I don't know exactly when they are going to. Probably the end of the month or beginning of next month.

[@stephanelulu9186]

I do the same as goeff easily. finally a singer that I can have fun redoing

[@corinakindl5310]

💖

[@jeanneplace6871]

Whoa - they sang it in Dragon language!

[@markedly1013]

They take chances and push the limits. No fear.

[@alphamajor0195]

FUS-ROH-DAH !! 😆

[@alphamajor0195]

The 6/8th( or 12/8th , not really sure ) beat really,really makes this sound good.

[@mariusprime31]

i'm a huge fan of Skyrim and this is the best version of this song i even hear it giving me goosebumps

[@michaelengel3265]

I think it would be great to put this song in as a mod and have a group of bards going from town to town and maybe add more mods later.....just an idea....

[@eriklind8489]

Yep...Geoff starts at OMG, and goes down from there.

[@Korbin_Arts]

Absolutely loved this! Could you react to Underground by Cody Fry? Not many people react to him but his music is jaw dropping!

[@terrygaudio1053]

If you enjoyed this, you might enjoy some of Malukah's Skyrim / Elder Scrolls content. Her Skyrim fans liked her covers so much they successfully petitioned to have her made a Bard in Elder Scrolls online. Peter Hollens does some covers with her and some solo ones. His collaboration on the Skyrim theme with violinist Lindsey Sterliing is epic.

[@rebeccaquinn3287]

Brad please make the video screen larger. Thanks

[@rmoenmjea]

At 6:38 I can not tell for the life of me, is Elis voice pitched in post or is it him switching from a mix to his headvoice? Or even if it isn't that what is it? I do not know much music theory and am partly deaf so please someone tell me wtf is going on there

[@DeGlennen]

That's Omar taking over the highest note I guess. Fits his voice timbre a bit more

[@brucemckay1611]

I really liked you from your comments on Faouzia. That you’re doing a reaction video from a Skyrim song is just reinforcing this. But isn’t that the voice of Caspar Fox mainly?

[@brucemckay1611]

Casper*

[@brucemckay1611]

I can never decide is he is my first or second favorite singer

[@barbarakennedy2667]

Pay attention to the effects...

[@markbelcher2972]

You glanced away right at the end and missed another great touch. As the music suddenly ended, they all stepped boldly forward toward the viewer and the screen went black. A surprise ending that conjures warriors stepping off into battle.

[@xboxbml]

You totally missed the effect of the actual ending…you were looking away…
