Many years ago when I was in high school one of my friends was incredibly gifted at making mechanical noises and to top it off he could throw his voice. He would watch the clock in the cafeteria and about three minutes before the bell rang he would mimic the bell. Other students would get up and head for class. There were several complaints about the lunch clock but they never figured out what was wrong with it! This video brought back some funny childhood memories!

Hi Elizabeth, this is my first time listening to this A Cappella group, and I loved their performance. The group has some wonderful voices, and they made the most fun and amazing sound effects! This was an awesome performance!! Thank you, Elizabeth!!! 💙

Oh wow, wasn't expecting this one, but couldn't be more excited! I first saw MayTree on a Korean acapella show called Vocal Play (not to be confused with Voice Play) which combined a lot of acapella groups and some of Korea’s top beatboxers. It was a lot of fun and also great to see how successfull MayTree has been since.

For me, my 1st time hearing them is from 'i can see your voice', i believe it was from season 3 episode...

[@angelcelestenz]

I love MayTree, they're so creative with their shorts. I first came across them about 9 months ago and my daughter really likes them too. I liked how you pointed out the "ng" consonant - this is something that my vocal coach started me on and you're completely right, it helps you find the right placement for vowels. But when I switched to using "ng" through my vocal warm-up (from humming on a straw) I almost immediately was able to hit higher notes going from "ng" to "ah" than I had been able to going from the straw humming to the vowel. Especially in my head voice. It was a really great tool to learn about. I really enjoy your reactions!

[@mayganphynix8267]

oh wow, thanks for sharing this.

[@papaquonis]

More Maytree, please! I love them so much

[@mikeofmidgard]

Awesome performance of this South Korean a cappella group. It's almost unbelievable that the human vocal system is capable of producing such a variety of sounds. There's more than words 😃Thanks for introducing them to us. CrAzY🤪AND it was so much fun watching you freak out about the weird sounds. Marvelous!💯

[@AYVABTU001]

Wow they're good! A revisit to this group would be awesome. They have great harmonies.

[@Arzie81]

You know when they are really good, when their Baba Yetu -CIV IV title song cover is appraised by Christopher Tin himself. My favorite song from any game, love live orchestral version of that, Peter Hollens version is also really good but MayTrees one is also good with its simple approach without huge orchestras and choirs, just five talented peeps.

[@onelittlelaurie]

I’ve been subscribed to MayTree for a few months now and they continue to blow me away. Their Plants vs Zombies video is amazing, as is their cover of Baba Yetu. I wouldn’t mind you revisiting them in the future :)

Aw, sad that you haven't done any more Maytree. They have a ton of shorts ripe for the picking! They even did a masterful version of Master of Puppets... You'll lose your mind at the guitar solo.

[@russellhoughton2132]

They ain't new. They been around since 99. May I recommend a deep dive into Korean A Capella? VB Exit would be a great place to start

[@txync]

Please do more Maytree, their channel is full of insane talent and creativity.

[@MajorSeventh]

MayTree fan here since 2018. FYI, they upload new content weekly, if you're in PST like I am it's at 5:00 a.m. Fridays. Yours is the best analysis yet of this amazing group. Up until January 2021 they had 62k subs, then they exploded last year and now they're just shy of 5M. Soo and S.I. have been there since the beginning in 2000, Wonjong joined in 2013, Erika in 2016 and Hoony in 2017. They just appeared on _America's Got Talent_ on July 19, 2022, they wrapped up two weeks recording at Abbey Road earlier in July, and some of their work appeared in the massive K-Drama hit _Extraordinary Attorney Woo_ this summer. 🙂

[@portiaj4374]

Oh I just found MayTree a few months ago and was so impressed! Hope you will react to more of them!

[@filizant]

I like how there's a squid in the background as you're reviewing their squid game acapella

[@bluetealturquoise]

You have to do their running up that hill cover. It gives me chills almost every single time

[@jakobwebb9854]

0:40 so unrelated to the group, squid game is a really good show that plays with a lot of character development and relationships with the characters. If you keep on watching it becomes something cool and shocking. And the same film company made another show call All of us are Dead about zombies so I recommend it too

[@The-Lunar-Prince]

9:33 I use that machine gun vibrato to transit from Spongebob's iconic laugh into the vocalization part of The Magic Flute from Mozart. I call that vocal joke my "Queen of the Jellyfish flute". (Reference for that title: Spongebob Squarepants season 2, episode "I'm your biggest fanatic") 🧽

[@abeldiaz3877]

This was so cool! I was laughing right beside you there. Thanks for this reaction and analysis.

[@davecampbell4312]

The most fun thing about your reactions is watching you have fun. You're just adorable! On a side note, I cannot think about vocal folds without thinking about them going. "Wacka--wacka--wacka"! I have never heard them referred to this way before or since!

[@kazmori6981]

Just found your channel a day or two ago and have been mostly binging your metal reactions, and I was ecstatic to see MayTree on your channel! The amount of different sounds all of them can make with such precision is absolutely mind-blowing, and it's so cool to get to watch you break down some of the mechanics of how they're doing it. Your explanations are so in-depth and easy to digest and understand. I would love to see you go over more of MayTree's stuff if the mood ever takes you (but I'll continue to enjoy your induction into the metal fold regardless!).

[@user-vhs56mgz2ze1n]

Finally you reacted them! they are really fantastic!

Yes, I love Sohyang. In fact, we've been trying to figure out how to get in touch with her for an interview. No luck yet!

[@eaglez1901]

@@TheCharismaticVoice May be able to point you in a direction to help. There's a Turkish musician, producer, youtuber much like yourself who actually got ahold of her team and managed a sitdown interview with Sohyang a few years back. His name is Emre Yucelen. He is on youtube. You should have no issues contacting him. He's a huge Sohyang fan and from what he's said he still keeps in touch with her. Reach out to him, he may be able to help. Or you may try getting in touch with Jinjoo Lee, the guitar player from Joe Jonas band DNCE. She is Sohyang's sister in law. She's got all the usual social media platforms. If all that fails, seeing how you have been in the world of opera, you may be familiar with a S Korean opera singer named Sumi Jo. She is good friends with Sohyang. Just a thought. On another note, be seeing Pretty Reckless in May at the Lunatic Luau here in Va Beach. They're really good live. Hope all is well. Stay safe

you really need to push through with squid game... trust me, the first episode is not enough to make you appreciate the story or the message its trying to teach

Some people really don't like seeing violence and death. So if that is her issue it may not be worth it to push through.

But I agree squid game is awesome, also if people haven't seen Alice in Borderland that is another great show to watch.

[@antivanti]

Who was the first to mix classical music to disturbing content? First example I can think of is Stanley Kubrick using Wendy Carlos' renditions of classical music in A Clockwork Orange. It's become quite a trope since then tho

[@cornbredx]

Well first we have to consider that what we consider disturbing now was completely taboo 100 years ago, and vice versa what was merely disturbing then seems quaint now, so "disturbing" content ramps up over time and changes. Considering this you could probably trace it back to opera or even farther back, but sticking to film with sound I don't know for a fact, but I'm pretty sure Hitchcock did it as far back as the 20s... or 30s. He did work as far back as the 20s, but I forget if it had sound yet. But ya, the practice definitely goes way back.

[@renefrijhoff2484]

Watched quite some video's of MayTree. The intro sounds of major movie production companies is hilarious and most of the times spot on (the only exception is Metro Goldwin Mayor, but then again it's a roaring lion. So I can't really blame them). Movie intro's 1 kzbin.info/www/bejne/oWWnaJareaapjqc and Movie intro's 2 kzbin.info/www/bejne/g5aWYnmLrturiJY and really worth listening is the THX intro in Movie intro's 2.
