Vocal Coach Reacts! K/DA! More!

[@clairesullano8819]

Akali - the one who raps in the 1st verse and is voiced by Soyeon from (G)-IDLE Evelynn - the one with white hair is voiced by Madison Beer Ahri - the nine-tailed fox voiced by Miyeon from (G)-IDLE Kai'sa - the one with "jet packs" and a ponytail voiced by Jaira Burns Seraphine- the one with mint green hair voiced by Lexie Liu

[@beanzsprout]

i WOULD like, but like 69 likes

[@Ranch123]

Cannons not jetpacks sorry

[@sitomagus]

@@Ranch123 that's why they put it in "" quotes, it's just what sam said

[@silversnackan7037]

Haha, I love that you're reacting to K/DA! I remember when their first song came out, "Popstars".. It blew everyone away.

[@Pabliwi]

I recommend you to listen "Villain" also from k/da. It's a song centered on Evelynn (The succubus). The voices are from Madison Beer and Kim Petras.

[@Archinemi]

My favourite, personally. Also more for you to analyse I think.

[@normanfrantungcul4542]

Akali - Ninja Evelyn - Succubus Kaisa - Jetpacks Ahri - Nine tail Fox Seraphine - One with the Headphone

[@whyrutoxic8489]

Эвелина Демон

[@ritsukinoue]

Guess Kaisa's first skin is her base skin now huh

[@m1k34l3]

me, who knows the lore: *loads shotgun with religious intent* (it's a joke btw i know u just meant to tell him who is who so chill before u get butt hurt at me)

[@adrianomel]

Im pretty sure Kaisa is a space cockroach but jetpack lady sounds sexier lol

[@lshe97]

Damn, Seraphine got the worst superpower ever...

[@andreww2098]

the songs sung in 3 languages, English, Korean and Mandarin! Soyeon who voices Akali the ninja is one of the best Female K-pop rappers out there, she also writes and composes a lot of her groups (G)I-dle's songs! Lexi Liu who voiced Seraphine was a featuring artist due to the LOL 2020 world championships being in Shanghai they normally go to Riots headquarters to record for K/DA, but this year due to COVID-19 they all recorded at their home/companies studios with Riot production staff monitoring by zoom

[@lukeluthor6290]

There is a lot of layers of vocals and there’s actually no free space of silence in the song if you listen to the acapella. Every second of the song, there’s sound. But the harmonies, and the backing vocals and ad libs on top make it very impressive. 😊 All of the vocalists are fabulous.

[@xheralt]

Each character has their own "domain" in this video: Akali (linear led-screen backdrop, simple colors, either red or her signature -- for this video -- blue & yellow), Evelynn (magenta & violet, foggy, statues with spikes), Ahri (throne room, pale marble & gold), Kai'Sa (cyan, zero-gravity), Seraphine (teen bedroom). Then there's the stage where it is all put together at the end; the skyscraper is pretty much a Playstation 5 with a crystal spire added on top.

[@pw1009]

Enjoyed the reaction! Honestly, next to The Baddest, this is probably the most difficult K/DA song to react to from the angle of the vocals. Outside of the Seraphine section there's just so much layering and such that it's hard to give a true, in depth reaction to the singing. As far as pure vocals go, I think Popstars, I'll Show You, and Villain are the best three songs to analyze. Drum Go Dum and The Baddest still have excellent vocals, but the vocals aren't necessarily the focus of the song.

[@Pandafaust11]

The first virtual band you've heard? Surely that's not true. Gorillaz? Alvin and the Chipmunks?

[@hallowseve5072]

ALVIN!!!HFDXHV🤣🤣😭

[@M4tchazz]

Alvin-

[@sandywatrmlon]

alvin and the ch--- lmao xD

[@nocturnmatthew1940]

Yesss, I wanna type Gorillaz.

[@lestiinsomnia]

What about boys who cry ?

[@郑秋敏]

Seraphine's voice is from "lexie liu" 's vocal. She is a awesome singer. Her songs are so awesome too.

[@wonkvii7008]

here is a little explaination about the characters: Evelynn, Agony's embrace, is the woman with the light purple hair. she is a demon that feeds on human's pain and torture. Ahri, The nine tailed fox, the girl with the blonde hair and crystal tail. she is a spirit that feeds on souls and has the known power of charms. Kai'sa, Daughter of the void, the girl with the dark blue pony tails. she is a fighter that uses those two blasters above her shoulders as magic guns. Akali, The rogue assassin, the girl with the black and blonde hair and rapper. she is a savage ninja with great, speedy movements. Seraphine, The starry-eyed songstress, the girl with the long light blue pony tale. she is based on a real person, and uses her powers of music.

[@ALEXOGAI2010]

Madison's voice like honey for soul P.S. Madison Beer - Evelyn's voice in K/DA

[@wohanx]

kda villain pls ❤

[@winterfoxxtrot8156]

i love that you researched about he characters and it is satisfying to see people become interested in something not usually in their norm. Riot Games scouts out other music artists for some of their promotional music, not only vocal talent. 2 of the vocal talents for the main line up are actual members of a kpop group. Seraphine is indeed a guest for this one song. Riot Games creates cosmetics for the characters in their game league of legends but recently theyve been trying to flesh out entire alternate universes for them. here, kda is a virtual band and seraphine is like a rising star who started out indie. she even has a twitter account as part of the pr.

[@beverlythorne]

10:58 he rlly just asked “is there more?” i cant

[@AgentSapphire]

You're gonna wanna listen to K/DA Villain. It's all about Evelynn and you really get to hear just how amazing Madison Beer is. She's the one that provides Eve's singing voice. And do check out pop stars if you haven't heard that.

[@ZhukayProduction]

6:47 "Is rapier a word?" well, i don't think so unless you meant the sword for fencing

[@peachsarchive2025]

You should definitely take a listen to Pop/Stars and also Villain by KDA

[@jme1587]

I would love to see more reactions but so many songs have so many digital effects. I think Pop/Stars, I’ll Show You, GIANTS, and Villain are the ones with the best vocal delivery but other than the striped versions online it’s hard to appreciate their voices.

[@ariffqardani2991]

U should react to other song. Drum go bum(kaisa) Villain (Evellynl I will show you (ahri)

[@AzureAiluren]

If you've ever heard The Gorillaz, you'd already listened to something from a virtual band.

[@ceadeusx]

I would realy like to see your impression of Fiddlesticks Voicelines. The voice of fiddlesticks is insane (Just search Fiddlesticks voice and pick the one from SkinSpotlight). Short context: Fiddlesticks is an Demon from the League of Legends universe (like kda). He cant speak but he tries to immitate the voices of humans.

[@stefaniaori3079]

Loved your reaction and analysis 😍

[@ohmycrofts]

this is the first video i've seen of yours (i'm a huge K/DA fan haha) and wow i'm definitely gonna check out more! your commentary is passionate yet also extremely comforting :) and hearing about all your vocal technical knowledge is really cool!

[@swixish]

this is my first time i've seen your videos and i love you already

[@archaen2321]

Gorillaz are probably most people's first virtual band that released music outside of a TV soundtrack.

[@Vhaalus]

we need you to react to KDA - Villain, the one singed by evelynn, the succubus. That video is growing so fast and you are definitely going to enjoy it

[@GwenisImmune]

react to KDA Villain concept video!

[@Xialdin666]

Always enjoy your reactions and insight! Would love to see your reaction to another League of Legends band, the metal group Pentakill and their song Mortal Reminder!

[@lshe97]

[@SSTVocalCoach]

😂😂

[@SummonerV]

LMAO

[@amnda127]

thanks for this video! you're the first vocal coach to actually go into specifics :) you should definitely do the other k/da songs!!!

[@afternoontaee]

i think you'd really enjoy (g)-idle!! two of their members are featured in KDA. Soyeon, the rapper in the beginning, is their leader and writes a good chunk of their repertoire. very interesting range of voices in (g)-idle. i think you'd really like them. i'd recommend 'lion', 'oh my god', and 'hann'!! really enjoy your videos! keep it up

[@Nominokoni]

Omg I can't believe it! I've been a subscriber since your channel's around 10k subs and here you are reacting to my favorite game of all time. A Two in One! 🤩

[@sarkakoubova5579]

I love how u found information about characters before the videooo... first of all reactions of other channels

[@ikantsee4293]

Pls React to villain by evelyn sung by madison beer and kim petras. Its one of the songs in the kda album

[@tsukkirina]

I really love your reaction and how you did research before haha. Waiting for your next LoL mv reaction!

[@lefredy7476]

For the info, there are 5 other songs from KDA virtual group released yet. First, there is BADDEST from the same album as MORE (Album name: ALL OUT). Just before we got an ep that contains the songs VILLAINS, DRUM GO DUM and I'LL SHOW YOU each of them featuring a character "backstory". And finally, there is their first song, the single POP/STARS, which (I think) is their best song. I really enjoyed this review/reaction video and really learned one or two thing about vocal. I would be really cool if you could do a reaction video on POP/STARS and maybe BADDEST too. (If you do so I will really consider subscribing to the channel 😉)

[@katerinayordanova3428]

You should try True Damage - Giants. Same concept, same game but the sound is not so much digitalized.

[@yourmaninlondoncollecting5749]

Gorillaz was the first. And they had some crazy videos 😃👍

[@AhmedEsmaeelCR7]

Yes Watch the Full album pls

[@paulokussumato7181]

loved your reaction! such a pro on vocals

[@SummonerV]

Loved your reaction and enjoyed it very much, would also like to see some more reactions on other KDA songs/LOL songs :)

[@tegamingother]

in an mmo, beating the hell out of each other is an understatement.

[@Slipknot4L1F3]

"this is the first virtual band, that i ever listened to"...wait, u never heared Gorillaz before?

[@ducksanddinosaurs24]

I don’t know what I love more - the reaction of the accent :)

[@swixish]

Im so glad you did your research. I get a bit disappointed when people don't know anything about what they're watching.

[@Kim-rw6tz]

i wanna recommend you two kpop groups that are the most favorite korean groups of most vocal coaches. these two are known as having best live vocals in 2nd generation of kpop. i mean... if you watch korean music videos, all groups are really good and hard working and i listen to almost all kpop groups since 2nd generation till now. (4rd gen)... but these are known for their live vocals. girl group: mamamoo (known as vocal queens of kpop) check out this video for example: mamamoo best live vocals 2020 kzbin.info/www/bejne/fmm6mmasr6mgmtE mamamoo live vs studio kzbin.info/www/bejne/l2bbp6ymeZufjLs and music video (watch with lyric): aya (newst), hip, egotistic, gogobebe boy group (known as vocal kings of kpop): exo (the most awarded kpop group, nation's pick) live: exo amazing vocal (it is old and mostly contains their first years of debut. i mean 2012 tii 2016. but still plz watch it first. it is so good) kzbin.info/www/bejne/bZbKc59upMZqbNU (in song "tear" that boy "chen" was asked to sing this song in woman's key. that is why it is so high) exo live vocals all members 2019 (usually in kpop groups each member has a position. but in mamamoo and exo all members are great vocalists and all of them can rap. in this video you can see even the main rappers are so good in singing) (sehun, kai and chanyeol are rapper.) kzbin.info/www/bejne/hZK4hIx8irt8nZI exo best vocal 2020 kzbin.info/www/bejne/gqCapYCdpK2LqNU music video: tempo, obsession, what is love, call me baby, monster plz kindly check them out and give them a chance.

[@ehkang4139]

Hey Scott love the reaction 😁 to K/DA requesting for you to react to SB19 again but this time their ballad song on Wish bus TILALUHA 💙

[@aleon9081]

It's true.. in League of Legends, you beat the hell out of other people

[@mr.waffals9670]

You should listen to the rest of their EP, it includes The Baddest, Villain, Drum go Dum, and I'll show you!! they are all really great songs

[@na.nguyen91]

Have you ever heard of the band Gorrilaz? That’s a virtual music band too. You should listen to them. They have many bangers

[@felfoxling]

Akali is rapping, she is the rapper of kda. You should listen to pop/stars, and the baddest. Also villain by kda also all amazing

[@Sabbely87]

you should have watched the live versions as well so you would have some comparisons :3

[@galacta7300]

Love how you break this down, thank you

[@Pixieprincessanne]

You should definitely react to the other songs by KDA. Popstars was there first on one of the best, followed by baddest which was Akalis song, Drum go Dum Kaisa's song, I'll show you by Ahri, Villian which is Evelyn's song that one was epic. There was another band by LOL called True Damage which was just as good. There song is Giants

[@mrtribune5785]

Loved the reaction! You should do more KDA reactions

[@dominikzalesak1526]

[@dominikzalesak1526]

[@shineko79]

Yes, I'd suggest Villain by K/DA, and Giants by True Damage (League's group last year).

[@samanthamurray407]

Bruh you need to do "Villain" from KDA. Hands down the best song TO DATE

[@АпасКасымбеков]

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@gabrielribeiro9399]

The video seems to be reproducing at a higher speed than usual, it feels weird, its different from the "original" speed, it has that high pitch tone when its faster than it should be...

[@xheralt]

Maybe a finesse to avoid copyright strikes.

[@SSTVocalCoach]

Not sure why that is? I just used the video as is? Might be down to rendering, but I’m not technically literate enough to do anything that on purpose 😂

[@Draysito]

great analysis

[@RAZORlukic]

You could use some more... Watch Villian by KDA

[@kenzolh2]

Loved your reaction!! PLEASE react to their other songs!!! pop stars, Villain, i'll show you. They are very good

[@luizbraga9439]

Hey Sam, i'm a big fan from Brazil. Someday please react to Rise - Remix Feat. Bobby. It's an incredible song and i think you'll have a lot to comment about.

[@80Lora]

Pls react to more of them 😍

[@lordkabal2010]

If u want to hear singing from league of legend songs there is Rise, We are Legends, Warriors and a few more.... Look them up and u WILL be blown away of them....

[@brightlove8830]

I would recommend you listen to some Vocaloid songs if you want to continue your virtual singers

[@brightlove8830]

May I add that the process to make a vocaloid is very interesting and would be great if you could check it out

[@antoinewalker9393]

Hello coach! Was wondering if Babymetal is still far from the list? If not, i would suggest rondo of nightmare (mischiefs of gods intro). kzbin.info/www/bejne/boildZyCgrONmac. Same concert as your previous reaction. 3.30 of intro instrumental solo then 3.30 of the song proper. Thanks!

[@negarkhajei2903]

Pleeeesssse check out the kpop band “the rose” or at least their lead singer woosung, he has some individual stuff . Since you love the unique quality of Jimin from BTS I’m sure you’d love them. Cheers!
