The car is a 1972 Pontiac LeMans. Owned by Layne's (the beatboxer's) father. Yes, they set up their own set. And they rig their own lighting, smoke and fans, and program them if need be to go off/change on specific timers. There's only 3 things they don't do. 1. Run the steady cam, because they can't physically be behind AND in front of the camera at the same time, but they do run the cam for others when need be. 2. Advanced makeup/prosthetics, they have a super talented artist friend do that for them. And 3. The final audio mixing is done by Ed Boyer. They do the initial mixing themselves, and then Boyer polishes the rest up. Everything else from start to finish, is done by them alone and Geoff's wife Kathy.

What I absolutely adore about this video is how very, _very_ 80s it is--everything from the car to the clothes to the "drums" to Geoff's hair, the VHS artifacts and 4:3 aspect ratio at the beginning and end, the old-school rock belts--none of it would have been out of place back on MTV when I was a teenager. Just phenomenal.

Geoff really reminds me of Judd Nelson in this one.

This is Layne's arrangement, Nothing Else Matters was Geoff's. Eli arranged their versions of Creep and Eleanor Rigby. He has partnered with Layne for a few others and will be doing more arrangements going forward. They just dropped The Lion Sleeps Tonight. You need to watch it (Layne) or Drunken Sailor (Geoff) to see their comedic side. They can do anything! Trust me!!

I really enjoyed your reaction- thanks for coming back to Voice Play! As the other "Voice Players have told you in the comments they do all of their own production and have complete control of their creative expression. Former baritone singer, Tony Wakim, and beatboxer, Layne Stein own the production studio (PattyCake Productions) where most of Voice Play and solo Geoff Castellucci's videos are done. For this cover, they are in the back parking lot by the back door and loading area of their studio located at the Oviedo Mall in Oviedo Florida. If you go to Voice Play's channel and click on "shorts" you will see a variety of minis that are very raw and casual without the production that are filmed inside the mall. The 1972 Pontiac LeMans that you see here belongs to beatboxer Layne's dad which he has had since he bought it new. I am hoping that you will check out Voice Play's cover of "Valhalla Calling"- it will blow you away!

Yes they do their own lighting, stage settings, costumes and everything else. It's all in the credits below the title. The only instrument they've used is Layne on the violin a few times.

Well, they did use a 'bat' in "Seven Nation Army" for a sound effect - but you SEE it in the video. In this song, the surprising 'instrumental' sound at the beginning (a sax I think?) is Cesar's voice I believe. If you do not see it, only hear it, then it is made by one of their voices.

@@hwyla4416100% fact. If you don't see it, it's one of them. They've used violin/ VioLayne, shackles, and pool tubes that I recall - and you definitely see them.

Right now VoicePlay has 3,342 Patrons. The names you see in the credits are their top-tier members. Geoff has at the moment 2,637 they get more and more patrons every day.

VoicePlay is unique and there's a plethora of music they cover. Even songs that I am not fond of are redeemed by their interesting arrangements.

Thanks Steven! My favourite of 2023 after Nothing Else Matters. Such a fantastic arrangement + execution. Hopefully more VP?! 🌹🕊

The "set" was the loading dock behind the mall where Layne's studio, Pattycake Productions is. They ended up having an audience for the filming of this one.

This is a goodie. I could listen to this over and over. Have you done VPs Creep? It's the back door to Pattycake Productions in the mall. Pattycake was bought by Tony Wakim who was the baritone in VP but really wanted to get into production so he and Layne (beatboxer) bought the studio. Both Geoff and VoicePlay use Pattycake for a lot of their videos. The car Pontiac LeMans belongs to Layne's dad who bought it new, 50 years ago. Liked that J None was wearing his Miami Vice jacket. I never get enough of VoicePlay or Geoff's solos (not acapella). They just dropped a new video which started off as a mini (vertical format, usually under 2 minutes) but Layne and the guys were having so much fun with The Lion Sleeps Tonight that it's now a full-length version. I'll bet Eli (bald tenor) did the CGI for the animals. The mini formats are usually in the open area of the mall, when they did Peaches (Super Mario Brothers) it was in front of the GameStop which is where Geoff extended his high range to Bb5. His lowest is a growl of A0. Try Creep as well!

Not a car buff per se, but old enough to remember that style of muscle car from the '70s. I would have been in Junior High back then, so maybe just a few years later before all the guys I knew were obsessed.😄

I really enjoyed your reaction. BTW If they use any instruments you will see them, like violins in "Warriors"," Nothing Else Matters" and their newest release "The Lion Sleeps Tonight" and boom whackers in "Attention".(😇maybe solo cups in " ACA Top 10 Bro Country")

As you said, you can't go wrong with VoicePlay. I can't wait for the next one you check out. You do also seem to be a fan of JNone, so you might want to check out his latest song on his own channel. It's called "Am I Here". He did a great job with it.

Over the last few years they’ve been using music from the karaoke track in the outros. As a patron, I find that one of the most useful parts of the perks. I have no musical training and I have trouble processing auditorily at times so I miss all the audible cues that many people catch the first time through. Listening to the karaoke track, which is frequently a beautiful piece of music on it’s own, I am able to more fully appreciate the total package when I can hear the different parts that each person is contributing.

Thank you Jimmy for a priceless reaction to Voice Play. I am a new subscriber. Voice Play are known as The Theater Kids of Acapella. You will get a taste of that in their son called Queen In 5 Minutes. It is a medley of Queen songs & the theatrical story that goes along with it will blow you away. Some of their newest ones are Hell Fire from The Hunchback of Notre Dame & Cesar does some awesome whistle notes while playing the air guitar. His dramatic expressions along with his vocal abilities are a force to be reckoned with. Please check out Geoff Castallucci's solo page. He is the bass in Voice Play. He loves to clone himself 3 or 4 times to harmonize with himself. Please do a reaction video to Geiffs solo cover of Shenandoah & Jack's Lament. He does play the piano & his acting skills are always amazing. You will also love Voice Plays cover of Dream On originally by Aerosmith and Carry On Wayward Son originally by Kansas. Voice Play knocks them out of the ball park..They are home run hitters in everything they do.

And that's only part of their Patreons. I'm a Patreon but not high enough to be listed like that. All the money from the Patreons pay for their videos. They are independent. Have no record label so they do everything themselves. Except intricate make-up, cameras and audio mixing.
