VoicePlay: Inside "Moana Medley" with Layne Stein - INTERVIEW

[@daynanoneya3068]

Layne is the absolute BEST!! He seems like such a genuinely funny and nice guy. He has an amazing voice and his beatboxing is incredible!!

[@kylefrandsen2665]

I admit: I'm not a singer. I don't do audio editing or mixing. I saw the screen at the beginning of this and quickly scanned the preview bar to see if there was ever going to be anything interesting. Here I am, an hour and 5 minutes later hoping we get to do it again. Watching two people who are so passionate about their craft geek out together made it worth watching. That wasn't an interview. That was a Master Class. Great video! Thanks so much to Layne for doing this.

[@TheCharismaticVoice]

I was really concerned we geeked out too much with the production. I'm glad it was captivating and didn't turn you away, Kyle!

[@Tryst46]

@@TheCharismaticVoice You speak of things like minor to major pitch shifts, harmonic arrangements and such in your reaction videos and you're worried about "geeking out" now? I like to sing, I can play a few instruments and play about with mod trackers but I have no knowledge of things like reading music, but your videos still keep me interested because I am learning more and more about what makes a song sound good to others.

[@scott2836]

@@TheCharismaticVoiceElizabeth - absolutely not. I may not have the technical knowledge to understand everything that was discussed, but you and Layne did a really great job of explaining and/or providing examples to illustrate what you were talking about. So even if I didn’t fully understand it, I could get the contextual clues to help me. It’s absolutely obvious that both of you are passionate about what you do and this video is an absolute extension of understanding how and why other musicians make the choices they do. I know that lots of people are drawn to reactions, and watch all of them religiously. I don’t watch every reaction, but I do watch many and I will always watch this kind of video, even if the artist in question is not a favorite. I know that I will learn more about them and will likely appreciate them more, even if I’m still not a mega fan. And who knows, I just might…

Alternative title: Elizabeth and Layne nerding out about music, Voiceplay and editing for 1 hour straight.

[@MsSilentH]

I'm so glad Laine asked if he was talking to much, its a mark of passion, knowing he might be talking and talking, but like you said, for a lot of us viewers, its PERFECT, talk away! Great interiew, I could definitely listen to a talk about this stuff all day hahaha

Great concept, a technical interview and not just "who inspired you" questions, for an audience that already expects indepth analysis. must be close to unique in the realm of free content; thank you

[@TheCharismaticVoice]

We totally nerded out here.

[@myddrinemrys8988]

@@TheCharismaticVoice And every second of it was awesome. While some of it went way above me, I was fascinated by the discussion none the less. And YOUR enjoyment of the subject translates so well. That is one of the things I love the best about your reviews. You don't just sit there going "wow," "neat," "cool," etc. You really give awesome insight into things and will often point out bits of audio candy I didn't hear at first, which gives me a deeper appreciation for the music and the musicianship on display in the video you are reviewing. You are one of the best vocal coaches doing review videos on KZbin. Keep up the awesome work!

[@chrisjung7139]

@@TheCharismaticVoice a few deep dive questions on the deep dive. 1. Who contacted whom on doing this? 2. How much pre interview did you do? Just talking and getting a feel for each other. You two did have some chemistry in the interview with a little fan-girling thrown in😁 3. Are you going to try to get the other members to do similar reviews? 4. Have you checked out their patreon, you help them out at a certain level, they fly you to orlando and you get to watch one of their days of filming.

[@sabrinafelber]

So interesting and educational to watch. I am a strange subscriber because I have no idea how the AI landed me here but have been binge watching your videos and don't know how I lived without this content. I sang in choir as a child (not well). I don't play an instrument. I love and appreciate most music and a beautiful voice but didn't see the connection. I'm a chronic pain patient always in search of new techniques to control specific mind, body, and breathing. Long winded way of saying you are out here amoung the tall grass of you tube dear! We see you and such a welcome breathe of fresh air! Thank you!

[@firebeecher]

@@TheCharismaticVoice They all use Cardioid Condenser Studio mics... did you think to ask why not ribbons? don't ribbons capture the most realistic sound for instruments and voice? And the newer ribbons are no longer as super expensive as they once use to be. p.s. i use to work for a PBS production house/station and we got Pro-Tools when it first came out. I have noticed one thing I don't like about modern production. The way the audio is recorded on a separate device than the video and that sometimes it just doesn't mesh up in post. I am being VEERY picky here realizing that tv is only 29.99999999 frames a second but sometimes I can see that the mouth is off 1/60 or 1/90 of a second.

[@vincentmorissette6532]

Am I the only one that wish having Layne Stein as a good friend ? He seems to be so calm, funny and easy going, and at the same time, so passionate about what he is doing. Thank you for this amazing interview. As always, The Charismatic Voice KZbin channel is bringing high quality content.

[@Ringohulk777]

No I want him to

[@AnymMusic]

can we just get an entire series of Layne breaking down the Voiceplay tracks?

[@pajamas_the_emo]

Please

[@Ringohulk777]

Agreed

[@ramiroj.2381]

Wait, did he actually give a 1 hour interview??? What an awesome guy! He's clearly brilliant to come up with these arrangements too, but you already knew that

[@alverond]

I don’t now why, but, this interview pulled me in. I am not a musician, nor have I watched this movie. But I enjoy your channel and I think VoicePlay is AWEsome so I watched your reaction to their medley. Then I saw this and was like...eh...an hour? But I clicked on it to watch a bit because Layne is cool. Then I blinked and 30 minutes had passed! Wow. I never knew all that went into making a song. Is this how all songs are made or just with multiple voices? Anyway, loved it thank you fo this !!!

[@TheCharismaticVoice]

You are so welcome, but this was all Layne! I didn't expect it to be an hour either, and we could have literally talked all day. Getting a sneak peak behind the scenes like this? Just... AMAZING!

[@matthewireland1125]

Having an explanation of the recording process: Priceless. Thank Layne for this. It was illuminating and fascinating.

[@ogeewiz]

This just multiplies your appreciation for their art.

Layne is such a pure soul, and so talented as well as great at communicating explanations. His speaking voice is very soothing as well.

[@jackyfriedman1963]

Loved this interview with Layne. Thank you Layne for showing us how you arrange and produce songs. Very insightful. Also for the interview itself. You are my favorite beatboxer and have an awesome singing voice. Thank you Elisabeth for having interviewing Layne. It was awesome. Learned alot.

[@canadianavenger]

I absolutely love this post-interview. Having that extra in-depth and inside look is so fun. I hope you get to do more of these, such a treat.

[@ASLLover666]

Layne is so sweet and passionate

[@christyqualls5464]

This is one of the coolest tea times. I loved the creation aspect. I would love to see another video with Layne, specifically Valhalla Calling or My Mother Told Me.

[@lmelior]

That's hilarious about the middle school, school bus comment. I actually distinctly remember learning how to do it in middle school art class. I know nothing about music and I don't even know why I'm here, but this was just a fascinating and delightful look into the process. His short little live beatboxing bit at 55:39 was incredible!

They pass the coconut until it's Geoff's lead. He couldn't hold it cause he can't sing without his hands! 🤣🤣

[@Xenocraft]

He is channeling power from the gods

[@Turalcar]

Castelucci is an Italian surname

[@SeliahK]

Yes! And for those who don't understand Turalcar's point : Italians tend to talk with their hands. And sing with their hands. If their mouth is moving, their hands are moving. My mom used to joke all the time when I was growing up that all she had to do to shut me up was to hold my hands still. I. CANNOT. Talk. Without. My. Hands. Same goes for my singing. 😂 So yeah, of course Geoff Castellucci couldn't hold a coconut while singing. LOL

[@yolandaclaassen4492]

@@SeliahK I understand the hand thing. I cannot talk without my hands talking as well, when my mom wanted me to keep quiet I sat on my hands😁😁. Even now that I am all grown up, I still use my hands and sit on them to keep quiet.

@yolandaclaassen4492 I've gotta hand it to you, that's a good idea. 🩷

[@kimnichols7946]

I really enjoyed hearing the parts separated out in various sections of the song; I’m not a production musician by any means but it’s fascinating hear the parts by themselves and then hear them layered one by one. This helps me in particular hear things in the music that I may have otherwise missed or appreciate technical aspects of the work that goes into mixing and finalizing a project. One of the things I enjoy the most about watching this channel and a select few other reaction channels like it is how Elizabeth points out these inflections and musical skills on the part of the artist that I might have otherwise missed. This gives me a greater understanding of what I am hearing and just how much work and talent goes into what an artist produces. Obviously we know it’s work, but I don’t think people who aren’t production musicians or who aren’t musicians at all really grasp the next level precision that makes these produywhat they are. Basically, thank you Elizabeth, and today Lane, for guiding my long-sleeping inner music geek.

[@TheCharismaticVoice]

Thank you, Kim. Truly.

[@maryk5225]

Layne's talking voice is so beautiful and soft and calm I really love listening to him! He could totally do a podcast or a sleepcast! ❤️ (if he already does, please someone tell me!)

Thank you and Layne for the interview session. It was really fun to see and hear the behind the scenes process he used. I read or saw somewhere that he did the oogie boogie song too. And was his suggestion for Geof to go subterranean on that last note. Love these guys.

[@ronaldsinagra8825]

A fun and and informative interview with Layne. From watching the live performances of many acapella groups, the people really are as nice and personable as they are talented! You seemed a bit star struck at times 🤭, but fun watching this. Thank you.

[@TheCharismaticVoice]

Maybeeee? It was truly the inside look at the production side. I've produced an entire album before, so I know the painstaking efforts that can go in. This was just... ridiculously amazing!

[@grimgrinningtracy9157]

This was sooo off the chart awesome and a great surprise and gift for us. Thank you! Something I thought of that you might enjoy knowing is that both Geoff and Layne have arranged for Home Free as well. Geoff did their cover of Elvira featuring The Oak Ridge Boys Layne was called on to arrange Home Free's Butts Remix. The two groups are friends and you will occasionally catch a credit or quick cross over appearance. I love both bands, and these were surely two great arrangements done, especially The Butts Remix. Chris Rupp of Home Free recently did his own "reaction" to that explaining a lot of the back story of the making of and share how he brought Layne in as a master of medleys.

[@GrannysWanderingSpirit]

What a treat. Thank you so much, Layne and Elizabeth, for a fascinating, fun interview. Elizabeth, it was fun just to watch you geek out on the post production, like you do in your imagination, with other reactions. Layne, you were so great at showing and explaining things in a way that made it really interesting for someone who has never been in post before. It's 4:45 am here, but I just couldn't leave this until (later in) the morning. You two are amazing, and Voiceplay is just stunning.

[@drratran]

This is a phenomenal interview! Full disclosure, I am a friend/acquaintance with Layne and Voice Play (as well as the guys in Home Free). Your reactions and interviews are always top shelf but this one was higher than top shelf and I can't believe I didn't see this 2 years ago!

[@WelcomeApathy]

This was so cool! Thank you for doing this and thanks to Layne for going into what makes up the arrangement. It was so neat to get to hear how things work behind the scenes. And he seems like such a nice guy, too! I would love to see more of these, especially with Layne or others of Voiceplay. Although, maybe I'd watch others. Might be the only way I would get into other groups. I just love VP so much. Anyway, thanks again for doing this for the fans. I definitely appreciate all the focus on my favorite group!

[@TheSeeking2know]

This would be great to see with Voctave!

[@djsting]

That video was the reason I found VoicePlay. My daughter used to watch Moana nightly (sometimes multiple times). So while I was looking for random Moana stuff on KZbin, I found the medley and became a fan.

[@iforgor3594]

HOLY Laynes mic is CLEAN and his voice makes it perfect😁

[@christinestromberg4057]

I guess this is why their videos are so perfect, because they know what they want and can bring it, without having to rely on others who may not have their vision for it. Makes perfect sense.

[@ashcgincog5016]

Wow this was so interesting to watch and great to hear some individual parts highlighted. He seems like such a nice guy and you both have such a passion for music and all the little parts that go into making the whole.

I am a newbie to a cappella groups other Pentatonix and all though great talent I wasn’t much of a fan. But through Elizabeth’s channel I found Voiceplay and Home Free, both of which I absolutely love. So thank you for that Elizabeth! I don’t know a lot about music other than just appreciating the sound of it, but honestly watching Elizabeth has taught me so much. As for Lane, wow what an awesome guy and he also taught me a lot about what goes into doing this. Thank you both for this video.

I'm not sure why it took me so long to watch this (let's be fair, it's 1 hour :D ) but I'm really glad I did. biggest surprise: Layne has a very pleasant voice which instantly makes him a couple of times more attractive 0.o I mean, he's an amazing musician, no doubt, but I have always been more into Geoff's dark and broody type :D Elly, you had great chemistry with Layne - maybe think about doing a project together, or at least another interview? it was amazing watching you two talk ^_^ side note: am I the only one who now wishes to see a video in which Voiceplay members reverse their roles? Geoff will beatbox, Eli will be on the base and Layne will sing in falsetto the whole time :D that would be so cool and such a treat to the fans who all know they can do it but wonder what they sound like doing it! I think I will go support the band on Patreon now, just so I can give them that idea!

I'm the guy that listens to a song and just knows if I like it or not, but after having watched your reactions and analysis to these videos I find myself listening to all songs with a more intensity (thats probably the wrong word ) I just listen closer to what else is going on. Love it, Keep up the great work you do...

I’m the weirdo who always watches the ‘making of’ of every film or tv show etc I’ve ever seen (if you guys have Disney + watch the making of Frozen II - the journey to finishing the song ‘Show Yourself’ is crazy, stressful, wonderful, amazing) so finding out how @Voiceplay put their mixes together is so, so, fascinating for me, even though I didn’t understand most of what you guys said 😂 What an absolute genius Layne is, and such a lovely guy too. I can’t wait to see more of these. Thanks again. Hope everyone is well - I’ll log into a premiere again soon! Xx

Elizabeth, I love your analyses, I've learned so much from you! As a non-musician I'm often left going "WAIT, what just happened!" And I can come to your channel and find out..... you explain all of the stuff that my poor ears just don't know what to do with. Loving VoicePlay, I thought this interview would be a natural. For me, it was rewarding but dense. No problem. I broke it into 2 parts and listened on 2 different days, and that allowed my poor brain to (somewhat) keep up with your conversation. What a delight it was! Having a place to come and listen and learn is so amazing - I'm forever grateful! So - even for us non-musicians who are just deeply curious enthusiasts, this was absolutely perfect. A gift. Thank you, and a big thanks to Layne, too. Loved hearing some of his beatboxing tracks separately, to help me understand. I'm 70, and somehow beatboxing slipped in when I wasn't paying attention; coming into it cold has been mind-blowing. I've passed this interview along to friends who, like me, are astonished and delighted to learn about this corner of the musical world.

@Marcello Bass Even though Eli isn't singing bass, Geoff says he can sing bass, and he did during a live stream. Eli still has a pretty low voice

Exactly as an interview about a music production should be IMHO. Great in depth questions resulting in enlightening insights of that lovely master piece.

Thank you Layne

[@pammuder2389]

What a great interview! Thank you for this!

I am not in any shape or form good at knowing all those things that he is showing, but it just so interesting to see how all of this comes to be, what an amazing mind Layne has to put it all together. Love watching all the little critty parts even if I do not understand most of it. Now I will watch the music video with much more and grateful understanding for what goes into making this.

Love it!!!! I only wish I could have been here for the live reveal and chat. Elizabeth, please do their Little Mermaid Medley now!!!

As a VoicePlay fan, I want to say thank you for this. This was fantastic for someone who follows the group. I wonder if I could talk VP into doing a technical deep dive into other videos they've done.

This is such a cool interview!! Thanks for getting this!

[@Andurian]

I absolutely loved this! Technical interviews are completely absorbing for some of us... more, please, if you get the chance! Would love to see similar technical interviews on the music theory side!
