Q&A: My Journey (Storytime!), plus Congrats on 50K subscribers!!!

[@TheCharismaticVoice]

We just released merchandise! Check out the full line-up here: thecharismaticmerch.com

[@shuriken4852]

What I love about you is the enthusiasm and joy that you express when listening to great music. Add to that your vast technical knowledge and your ability to make it understandable to us mere mortals. 👍🏻

[@CaseyQuarcon]

Watching you reminds me of me when I react to music. I can tell that you receive that same feeling down your back and through your body that I do when something musical just...hits. I know exactly what that is and it's something truly incredible.

[@redhatpat9387]

Wow. In this video you were looking forward to hitting the 50K subscribers mark, and here it is only two years later (2023) and you just celebrated passing the MILLION subscribers mark! Congratulations on your hard work.

[@MazeMouse]

I love how enthusiastic you get about beautiful moments in songs you react to. The giddyness is infectious and it's so lovely to see how you're basically "just a nerd". Now don't take it the wrong way, when I say "just a nerd" I say that as a positive thing. Your passion is so upfront in your videos yet you also give a brilliant insight in what's happening in the songs. Some of the songs I already knew you managed to point out things that I had missed over literal hundres of times listening. But hey, occupational hazard as a bassguitar player. I listen to different things. So please, keep being that adorable "nerd" that brightens our days with your smile and enthusiasm while also teaching us old things about new music and new things about old music.

[@TheCharismaticVoice]

I love being a nerd, and am hugely complimented. Thank you!

[@ChrisPage68]

@@TheCharismaticVoice Interesting to hear about your embrace of video games. Floor Jansen has sung on at least one I'm aware of, and Finnish band Poets Of The Fall have also written extensively for games manufacturers.

[@ThirstyTunaTaco]

The reason why i watch your channel is NOT about your musical knowledge but its because of that fantastic giggle when something surprises you... It shows that you properly enjoy music...

[@lucky7-1-1]

Your child is going to be so lucky when read nursery rhymes . The feeling and emotion that comes out of your words will shine and go forward through your child . Laughs at 50,000 . Your just getting started girl . Blew that number out the water already lol lol .

[@catnipmurphy5971]

"....and Elizabeth's KZbin channel attracted many admiring comments. A lot of them in Cyrillic, but Elizabeth thought 'well the emoji's look positive so it's all good' . As she progressed she wondered if she should declare her abiding passion for Mixed Martial Arts and how she had combined them for a recital of Werner Von Volemuffler's 'Headlock & Throwdown Aria in A Minor'. But didn't. ". Congrats on 50K and, if I were the sort to wear hats, I'd tip mine to Kirk. Well played sir.

[@antalbojtos4413]

I love your storytelling, your setting, your... everything. You are truly charismatic not only in your voice, but in your character. The thing I love the most about you is probably your excited teenage-girl smile. Thank you for your content!

[@portiaj4374]

Thank you for telling us this beautiful story of a very talented and charismatic lady. I am not a singer or a musician but have a younger cousin who is an operasinger (he would have premiered in Chicago this spring would it not been for Corona...) so I really understand what a difficult business it is. You are using your talent very wisely and sharing it with us, that is great! Congratulation on your marriage. Happy you and Kirk have found each other. May you have many anniversarys to come and celebrate. ❤ from 🇸🇪.

[@TheCharismaticVoice]

Thank you!

[@BidonRacing]

Wow congrats for 50k subs Elizabeth and thank you for this storytime video. Thank you for sharing your passsion and your knowledge with us and for the smiles and funny faces you do reacting to music. Saddly the birds are dying when I sing so i cannot use your tips and trick but It looks like you have so much fun doing this so never stop. Nightwish music is in my life since year 2000 and their music takes a huge part in my life and they still giving me some goods cause they made me discover your channel :)

[@joergojschaefer3521]

Only two years and seemingly effortless from 50K to 900K...Wow... I am absolute impressed! 🌹😍

[@MrTech226]

Elizabeth, other comments mentioned you on Floor's KZbin channel when Floor did a zoom chat. They told her about your analysis of her vocals. They are trying to have her to be interviewed by you. As you know, Floor done one interview with another reactor about 2 months ago. Storytime is one of Floor's segments on her channel. Floor done a one on one with Marko about Aliens on another segment called Floor Finds.

[@TheCharismaticVoice]

That's amazing to hear. I've reached out to her a couple times as well, and would love to interview her! *Fingers crossed*

[@MrTech226]

@La Petite Rose Floor did an interview a reactor whose channel is A&P Reacts. I don't know if Elizabeth contacts her or her management. Here's the link of A&P Reacts talking to Floor kzbin.info/www/bejne/bpOnaJiqZ6aSjc0

[@howljunkors4737]

Да да да да🙏🏼🌿 God I hope it would be interview this this two lady’s!

[@klasandersson7522]

KZbin is a bit like a gold bearing river, it´s mainly sand and pebbles. But amongst the sand you sometimes find a grain of gold that will brighten your day. And rarely you find a nugget, a real shiny nugget that will enrich your life and those around you. Your personality, enthusiasm for what you love and know so much about, and your willingness to share that with the rest of us is such a nugget! You are a delightfull person to watch and listen to, your explanations on the what´s and how´s of singing are passionate and inspireing, and last but nor the least, you have an awesome voice yourself! I hope that you will have the energy to keep on going for a long time yet, and that the booring, stupid internet-trolls don´t get to you! Be yourself and have faith in those who love what you are doing, they will be faithfull to you!

[@stoneshack2000]

You have a way with words, great comment..

[@redsign9245]

Hi Eliza, and thank you so much for sharing your life with us. It is hard to talk about one's self in front of strangers; yet, you've done it so elegantly and gracefully. A princess, a singer, and a great story teller. Your husband is truly a lucky guy. Congratulations for the both of you for finding one another. Love always, Red

[@InIcarus]

Wonderful, thank you for sharing! And what a great personality to have such accolades and yet be so modest about it even to be hesatant to speak about it. (Side note: Another "voice teacher" on YT litteraly braggs about taking - a - course so she's now a "certified voice teacher") All the while wanting to focus on spreading the word about singing to us regular vocal peasants. Very admirable! I think i will put my trust here from now on. The force is strong in this one :)

[@dalebuck7168]

I only subscribe to 2 Voice Coach/Reactors, your channel being one of the two. I've found that most of the Singer/Coach reactors either don't know what they are talking about, can't sing worth a hoot, or its all about them and not the magic they are listening too. You have always proven your knowledge, abilities, without showing off (I think the Mouse costume came closest LOL). Congratulations on your wedding and look forward to more insight from someone who knows what they are talking about.

[@julietburns6792]

What a wonderful story,I really enjoyed it.very well written. I was attracted to your warmth and honesty from the very first video and I really love your facial expressions as you listen to the music.I have enjoyed all the ones I have watched so far and I am looking forward to seeing the rest.I am really happy you found someone to share your life with and I wish you both the very best. Love from Jamaica.

[@mamatrop]

Congratulations sweet girl. 50 thousand is an incredible number. I really appreciate your responses. You and my 27 yo daughter are so similar. She is a Youth Minister and the coolest nerd you've ever met!!! She loves Mutemath, the book of Esther, travels for mission work to Israel, Nicaragua and even took students to Selma for MLK day of remembrance. She plays the same games as you and geeks out over the same things you do!

[@oneknight55]

Hello Elizabeth. I really enjoy your channel "The Charismatic Voice," and how much I appreciate your "down to earth" style. You seem to appreciate singing, no matter the genre, and for that I thank you. Keep up the good work, and I'll see you at 100k. ;-)

[@jeremypacailler]

Deep down, I knew you had many talents that I was unaware of and I'm glad to hear just a snippet about them.

[@janicewilliams966]

Humility….in spades. My goodness you are the epitome of everything a human being should be! The more I know about you, the more I love you. I do believe you have earned the right to be respected as a musician and as a human being. If I could, I would throw you a long stemmed red rose. That story telling performance was perfection. Now we know you just a little bit more and we can appreciate your reaction videos even more. (If that’s even possible) 🌹

[@alexandrorocca7142]

Dear Elizabeth, your narrating voice is very pleasant, I would definitely buy an audiobook read by you.

[@TheCharismaticVoice]

Funny - I actually had to read books to the computer as part of it's training to sound like me...

[@trinidaddiezrojo9041]

I wish to you very good luck in your future projects and thanks for share your musical knowledge with us... Bravo!!!!

[@RunningSD]

I felt like a little kid again sitting Indian style on the floor, with my elbows on my knees and the palm of my hands on my chin/cheek. Great little summary of your musical/life journey. I hope this part of your journey in life will bring you lots of success and happiness.

[@theboyfaz]

Am so glad I found your channel a few months ago. You, dear Elizabeth, are a total breath of fresh air. Your passion, enthusiasm and joy translates utterly brilliantly via your channel. Love the fact that you are open and embrace your geek :) I can't help but smile every time I watch one of your uploads :) What a great and unique way to share your story so far. Loved it! May there be many, many, many more excitable giggles to come in thousands more videos!!!

[@anssia3123]

Congrats! You are such a joy to watch, your enthusiasm and love for music is contagious! Well deserved. Looking forward to future videos and I hope you get to have that coffee with Floor 😄

[@carolinegomes8194]

thank you for answering my question! so cool to know a little more about you!! congratulations for the mark of 50K subscribers! I hope this community grows even more from now on! 🇧🇷✨

[@TheCharismaticVoice]

Thanks for so eloquently asking, Caroline! I had a lots of questions about me and my past, but the way that you phrased it led me to think about making the "storytime" video. Thank you for being an inspiration.

[@teame51]

You lovely, lyrical Soul!! Thank you for sharing your inspiring journey 🙏

[@Jason_xofilos]

Of course it is definitely Storytime. 😉 Thank you for sharing a bit of your musical journey. the best part of your reactions is your absolute joy in music and specifically voice. I also love your thought analysis on each song or composition. I don't know you well other then what I see on KZbin but you are wonderful. Keep up the videos. And thank you for all the hard work you invest in each.

[@TheCharismaticVoice]

My pleasure!!

[@mikesmith1788]

Congratulations on all your accomplishments. I enjoy your channel very much. Love your analysis of the different singer's that you cover. I am a big fan of yours and will continue to be. Please keep up the good work.

Thank you for sharing your story. You seem to be a well-rounded and charismatic personality! :)

What an interesting life you had so far! :-) I'm so happy to be part of your channels expansion! I love how you shared your story:-) and wish you much more success, connection with those important in your life, health and happiness! I look forward to more reactions and of course sharing my Monday lunch break at work with you 🧡💚❤💙💜

I share your thoughts Becky

[@Cygnusx-2MusicChannel]

Elizabeth..the joy you exude and share with us is so precious. It literally made me cry at the end of this video. Thank you so much for being awesome. :)

[@PittDaddy]

Congratulations on over 50K! What a wonderful story. So you've already sung with the Philadelphia Opera Company. I hope you come back someday! I would love to hear you sing live. Curtis was definitely the right choice. Your combination of knowledge and ability are second to none. We can hear that in your reactions. We are all still hoping you can reach out to Floor and have a discussion... and possibly a duet? We can only dream :)

[@TheCharismaticVoice]

:-) Yes! I sang both Pamina and Konstanze with Opera Philadelphia, and also sang Cleopatra and The Cunning Little Vixen (all title roles) with them in collaboration with Curtis. And some concerts too... they are one of my favorite opera companies to work with!

[@johnforsyth7987]

I loved your Storytime video. I used to tell my students that they should try to learn something new everyday. Even after they finish school. Your channel is providing more education (and fun) for this retired teacher. I look forward to your future episodes. Best of luck in your future endeavors.

[@wieldwords]

Honestly, I’m just so stoked to share my name with such an awesome and fantastic human being. ETA: And my wedding anniversary! (though mine was in 2016.) Congrats in 50K; here’s to many, many more.

[@TheCharismaticVoice]

Woohoo anniversary AND name twins!

[@martinc1097]

You deserve all the success and most importantly the love and companionship, it is for me the most important feeling and the emotions music evokes in me revolves around the pursuit of love, whether acceptance from others or another soul to walk this earth with. I found your channel through a reaction video and am so glad I did. I thoroughly enjoy watching your videos, I recommend them to others and really am glad to know more about the person behind the charismatic voice. I suffer from severe clinical depression and your videos have helped put a smile on my face in the days where the sun doesn't reach down to the hole I am in at that moment. Thank you for that, really, it's a beacon in the dark. Stay safe and keep being awesome!

[@todddavis4274]

The host for this show has endless class and beauty. Her husband is blessed. Much respect to him also.

[@sonicpebble]

Hi Elizabeth! Thank You for your backstory...it was Absolutely fun to learn about your Journey!! I do have an additional Question for you: Besides your Mother (Patsy), who were your biggest influences, in Music or Voice, growing up in WA or in College. And Thank You for the picture of You and Kirk, I didn't know that you were married this year (Congratulations)...I thought both of you were married for at least a few years...The Perfect Couple!!! I will be there when you reach and pass 100K subscribers!!! Again, I Want to Thank You for All that you Do...YOU ARE THE BEST!!!!! :-)

Thank you very much, Elisabeth-Sunshine and Birthday-twin, for letting us share your impressive career and life, giving us such deep insights... and also wrapping it in a fantastic video as a storyteller :)) I've said it before and I'll say it again. There are only a few people who shine from within ... and you are such a person. I wish you all the luck in the world.

Good on you. Realizing your dreams should always be a goal in life. I'm older and now my dreams revolve around my beautiful daughters which I am so blessed to have.

[@terryhenderson3490]

Congratulations on getting to 50+K on your KZbin channel . As one of the older members of the Nightwish Army i love the way you have taken to the music they produce , the analysis equations going on in your mind can be seen in the expressions on your face . I love it when you hear something you were not expecting played or sang , the way you react is great . As a viewer we see it first in your eyes we see the question did they just play that that way then you inform us why , then we think i never hear it that way before but yes i see now why they do it that way . As a Floor Jansen Fan it was wonderful to watch your surprise then your dissection of her technique . I hope you will do more on Floor Jansen and not just her with Nightwish there is so much more to her . All the best for you and your KZbin channel from the UK keep up the good work I will keep watching .

[@maxmacpherson4046]

I totally concur.

[@rumynKSF]

I sincerely congratulate you on reaching 50,000 subscribers,and as I promised ,I will work hard at witchcraft so that your channel will reach 100,000 within the next 3-4 months...take care of yourself!!!

[@DJQTUBE]

Thanks so much for bringing us into your world. I love that this was done in a story-time style alongside the fire. You held my attention the entire time. I am glad that you have found love, happiness, and your true calling in life. I do listen to other reactors but I know that I can take your reactions seriously (I mean that as a great compliment), with more wisdom and backbone. It is so much fun to nerd out with these reactions, especially when an artist (such as Dimash, for example) does something to catch you off guard. Your content not only provides knowledge but it also offers wonderful entertainment. I'm happy to join you and the other subscribers on your KZbin journey. I'm sure 100K will be happening much sooner rather than later. I have recommended your channel to 4 friends already. Stay well. Best Regards, Will.

[@marcbauder1002]

wow Elizabeth I loved your story your birthday is the day after mine. I really enjoy your channel I am glad I came across it. I love watching your reactions and see your face light up when you hear a good part in the music. I also want to say congratulations to you and Kirk on your marriage may the two of you have the most amazing life together.

[@TheCharismaticVoice]

Thank you so much!

[@149134911452]

Floor commented on a question posed to her regarding reactions to her work. Did she listen to them? Floor said she did not because they were too simplistic.Talking about head voice versus chest voice for example. She wanted a more technical discussion not only regarding the artist but possibly the composition of the song as well. I hope that I’ve conveyed accurately what Floor said, it’s I remember. I love your reactions and your new found appreciation of Floor and symphonic metal.

[@Karin_Aquatica]

Awww 🥰 I could have listened for hours. You have a similarity with Dimash. You both are not only about voice you both have an amazing personality too which is definitely a part of your success. 100.000 we are coming. Almost 55.000 right now while I’m commenting. Very interesting that you lived and worked for some years in my home country Germany. Do you speak German?

I'm so happy this particular video popped up in my feed today. I've been a subscriber for a while, but seeing you tell the story of the channel and how your love affair with music began has only made me love this channel more. Glad you shared!❤️

[@kerrythompson9506]

Awesome, well done! (And why didn't I think of getting married on February 29th? If I had, I would only have gotten in trouble for forgetting our anniversary every four years instead of every year!) My wife also grew up in Washington state on a small family farm with 40 acres of cherries and apples, so a lot of our visits there in the early years of our life involved the fruit harvest. No wonder you seem so well-grounded - you are!

[@TheCharismaticVoice]

Whoah, cool! My family's orchard was about 25 acres, and my grandparents (1 mile away) had a 40 acre orchard. Central Washington - and yes, lots of cherries and apples! Your wife and I could probably discuss the love of local fruit for days...

[@asospirit]

We all love nerding out with you on voice ❤️🔥🤘🏼. Very cool and interesting story! Really loved it :)

[@charliejg]

You caught me with your analysis of Ronnie James Dio which I happened upon somehow one day. Then as I ventured backwards through KZbin time to watch videos from the past I came upon this "My Journey" video. I laughed out loud at the format and your delivery because it immediately reminded me of an old friend and colleague named Susan Boyer who was a music educator in my school but also trained vocalists privately. Some of her students went on to great careers on stage. But, she, like you had an amazing flair for being a dynamic presenter. And, had she been asked to tell about "Her Journey" I'm certain she would have chosen this same creative method of doing so. Thank for the wonderful videos and the memory of my colleague! Rock On!!

[@gabriel.bardac]

Your story impressed me, both by what you said and by what I am convinced that you passed silently with delicacy, because not everything has to be said. I feel close to you because you understand that Beauty cannot miss the aspirations of any person, because it elevates you, and music is one of its vehicles. I am one of the Nightwish fans, because the beauty and the optimistic energy of their music helped me to overcome a state of depression and to enjoy life. I am proud to be part of your community, even if I am often silent. I wish you to be happy in your new life.

[@chriswood232]

Thank you for sharing some of your story Elizabeth. I'm becoming quite a fan of your charismatic voice and personality. Keep making videos and having the time of your life. 😊

The idea of presenting the answer to a question by reading a fairy tale from the big book of Elizabeth's Life is really great. And the smiling that sometimes runs across your face reveals how much fun you had while telling the story to your community. I am really glad you decided to reach out to a broader audience and bring us the appreciation for singing and teach us about the magic the lies in music. Feeling it is one thing, but getting to know the reason for it is like lifting your life to the next level. Hold on to your dream little Elizabeth 😀I bet you'll reach the 1M level before July '22.

[@donnagarlitz7916]

I just listened to your storybook video after enjoying so many of your reaction and interview videos. For being so enlightened I thank you. I have a sliver of knowledge regarding the voice or I should say enough to know the physical skills and training involved with creating sound. I personally appreciate opera for it’s skill but not necessarily a follower. I have always searched for people who can appreciate all music even if it’s not the music of choice for them. The time you take to create material that is so educational and enjoyable is beyond appreciation. To have a better understanding of how artists such as Peter Hollens, Penatonix, and others non a cappella artist, the music they do is so helpful. To understand phrasing, placement, layering, and throat skills used makes me appreciate the content produced so much more. To know the music moves me is actually enough but to be able to express my thoughts of the true effort used to the artist is splendid. For all you share and your willingness to apply your knowledge to so many forms of music I Thank you. The only issue I have is I can’t stop listening. I have lost so much sleep because I can’t never stop at 1 reaction! You are worse than a potato chip!

[@realmarixstone]

Wow! What an amazing story and life you've lived Elizabeth. And you've made your parents so, so proud. And your husband the luckiest guy alive. Wishing you and your family the best year ever!

@Elizabeth: I felt really touched and emotional by the wonderful way you chose to communicate your story, it must have taken so much time and effort on that. Thank you so much for bringing this beloved personal performance, it was amazing! I'm really glad to know more now of your background, specially on your gaming projects, which I find much closer to home than Opera (that I definitely like as well), and now I am going to look for your work on that area and look into the credits of the games I like to see if you are in there. Thank you again, I hope that this channel and your work goes visible to more and more people and you are accompanied by the best community you can have. Cheers :)

Usually between 30 minutes to an hour at the piano!

Loved hearing your story! I like your reactions because you pick up on a lot of things that others miss. I find it so interesting to listen to you point out thing I never really noticed in a song. I've watched several of your other reactions, but I'm mainly here for Dimash reactions!!

I know it's Storytime, but it's still funny hearing Elizabeth talk in the third person!! From someone born and raised in Oberlin, it's nice to hear the Conservatory mentioned!! 😁

I've told my musical people about The Charismatic Voice and all of us are fanatical fans! We love it! (And the host is perhaps the best singer ever. Has she ever played Christine in Phantom Of The Opera?)

[@Robschaf]

Although I'm not a singer or musician, I appreciate your (outstanding) expertise and did learn many new things from you. Your beginner videos about the different opera ranges were very interesting. Thank you. My question: Is there some kind of discography of all your songs you did for video games? I wonder how many I knew before.

[@TheCharismaticVoice]

A lot of the songs I made for video games were for smaller indie projects, but I did sing in some larger projects recently (Yoku's Island Express, Elsinore, Where the Water Tastes Like Wine, plus some current NDA's). Unfortunately I don't think I have playlist of all of these, but do check out The Materia Collective on spotify and search under my name for a long list of COVER MUSIC from video games (both composed, and sung).

What a wonderful video! I guarantee you it won't take you too long to hit 100k and then 500k :) You are so professional and charismatic on camera and create quality content and that's really all it takes to break through on KZbin :)
