- A nuanced (in every sense of the word) and complicated, yet easy to follow, grooving vibe, and a comedic acapella cover. Fantastic!

Thanks Drew! I love that you got so jazzed about it! There are a ton of nuances, Easter eggs, and vocally crazy stuff that happens in this and it was so much fun to do!
Agreed! It was a pleasure to listen to and watch! It was quite an intricate piece, and it was very well executed. The right voices for this kind of arrangement!
Also, what are the odds I can get you to make an appearance on a virtual podcast here on the channel sometime soon?
@@EthanDrewMusic that would be so fun! Let’s make it happen!
@@LizzyGarozzoMusic Send me an email! TheVocast@gmail.com , and we’ll line it up!
The carrot was a great nod to Layne the Carrot Lord teasing J None with carrots. And he has never stopped. And it brings me joy. ☺️

I don't think he ever plans to stop. He now has carrot related merchandise in the Voiceplay store.
His last tease to J None he did a video while icing Cyndi's carrot birthday cake 🍰. Was funny 🤣
Layne did the arrangement but it was Geoff's idea to include the swing section, so he gets credited for that bit. IN the BTS we learned that Cesar's ears kept slipping down and had to be continually re-atttached. How they get the whole thing so smooth is incredible.
That swing section is masterfully executed, I have to say. This one was awesome, to say the least!
Oh, I hadn't seen the BTS so I didn't know about the ears thing. I thought they were purposely having his ears move up and down as if he was wiggling them.
I come back to your reactions again and again because I really appreciate how you lay things out. I have no musical background, and I really appreciate how you explain (and demonstrate) the details. Thank you! And your cracking up is hilarious.
This is so fantastic! They pay so much attention to detail! One of my VP favs for sure!
This is the best. Now I have a visual to go with the music. The masks you see in the branches of the trees are Lock, Shock, and Barrel from their cover of Kidnap the Sandy Claws from The Nightmare Before Christmas ft. Rachel Potter. Eli Jacobson the Green guy is a professional voice actor outside of VoicePlay.
Oh wow, I didn’t know that! That would explain why he’s so good with characterization!
You know its good when you laugh so hard that you no longer have control over anything. Voiceplay is exactly that...voices that put on the most amazing plays. This one is especially creative. I absolutely loved it. Thank you for your wonderful reaction, Ethan. :)
I've always thought VoicePlay should have been awarded some sort of A Capella award for this. I've played this in band and none of it was easy but I loved it. What VP is doing, is truly different for an acapella arrangement and deserved some attention.
I always think of cartoon voices when they do those character voices. Geoff is given credit for additional arranging, I think that last swing part was his. This is so funny, it just had me rolling!! Great reaction! New one coming out in about a week.
Thanks for watching! ❤
Had to come back again after you interviewed Liz. That was so enjoyable.
Indeed!
I've watched this reaction several times and love how you keep cracking up over it. XD
Once again,thanks for an interesting analysis.
All scandinavians are familiar with this piece. It's often used to introduce children to classical music from early age, being appealing with it's development of tempo and storyline. I certainly grew up on it.
VP takes it to a new level. I just love that Elizabeth Zharoff named what Layne is doing as burp-boxning.
Elizabeth Z.’s reaction to this was iconic! And yeah, agreed, they are talented beyond their years! Thank you for watching and commenting! ❤️
Layne looks so childishly mischievous in this video , which, for what I read under other reactions, could very well be a big part of his nature. And he is the Lord of the Carrots... 😁😅😂
There are so many little details and cool things and hidden gems in this video, one could go on finding new ones for hours and hours. 🙂
I find this one so creative, they really tell a whole story IN DETAIL with just vocal "sounds" and body language and their expressions. Which is what these things are all about, ain't them? 🙂
I keep loving that you take the time and the space to share IN DETAIL with us all the things that you notice and their effect on you. Thank you for that. 🙂
I just subscribed AGAIN. It seems that CZcams lost my subscription in the cyberspace. 🤔
This is quite possibly the most intricate arrangement they’ve done, and I wish I could’ve done more, but like you said, I’d be going on for hours.
They took a classical piece that has no words, and they did an acapella arrangement of it, incorporated several music genres into it, AND told a story through the arrangement. WITHOUT A SINGLE WORD SPOKEN OR SUNG. This is just baffling!
My goal is to drive everyone’s attention to the little things, in addition to the big things they don’t notice, so they can get a better understanding of, and appreciation for the music they listen to. If I’ve accomplished that, then my mission is complete! 🙂
We don't mind long videos when you have something to say.😊
You were informative and we appreciate that.
If they’re going to be long, I like to have my long videos be as informative as possible! 🙂
I think you should definitely react to The Bass Gang. They're 4 bass vocalists, all with insane ranges and talent. It would be pretty good content for your channel
Reactions to some of their content is in the works! 🙂
@@EthanDrewMusic the guys also do solo work on their own channels that is amazing as well. Definitely worth checking out of it isn't on the docket already
Let me tell you, we love our VoicePlay and will support those who will play, react, and analyze out favorite group. VoicePlay deserves as much credit as they can get. They don't work through recording studios, they own what they do and they do it well. Thank you! Geoff's top end that we know of is A5. I got to play this piece in high school band. My instrument was the contrabass clarinet (one advantage of being first chair for the section). We did all of the Peer Gynt Suite but this was my favorite movement. I'm so glad to see you enjoying it as much as I did and do.
There was so much to enjoy about this group and this arrangement of a classic orchestral piece!
You watch Cesar and can tell he's up to something. Basically, Layne got trolled haha
Hahahaha, I see what you did there! 😂
I would like to hear your reaction to Geoff Castellucci's cover of Elvis Presley's Way Down! It is pure fun!
I’ve heard and watched it before, so I can’t give a first time reaction, but I can for sure do a breakdown of it! I’ll see what I can do to line this one up! Stay tuned, and thank you for watching/commenting!
Btw. For future reference...
Any videos of Voiceplay and Geoff Castellucci you don't need to keep pausing or doing anything for copyright or blocking.
They do not do either. They want everyone to watch their videos no matter who is showing them.
Otherwise great reaction.
Good to know! Though, I do the constant pausing more so to share the cool music bits with y’all! :)
Thank you for watching, commenting, and for your kind words!
@@EthanDrewMusic
You're very welcome.
Just wanted to let you know.
By the way...
Voiceplay released their Christmas video yesterday morning...
The Chipmunk Song (Christmas Don't Be Late).
Geoff is releasing his Christmas video tomorrow at 1pm est...
I'm Dreaming of A White Christmas.
Most of them were in character. Layne was pretending to be, but Layne was just Layne here, pretty sure. Diabolical mischief all the way. Geoff is the master of sliding so I'm sure his wife is very proud.
Layne is just plumb funny. His personality seems to fit this arrangement so well!
@@EthanDrewMusic Agreed.
Great reaction
But I feel like you talk a lot about Geoff and a little about the other guy
I hope next time you talk more about Layne Eli and Cesar
But it s just an advice I hope I don’t hurt your feeling is not my intention
Keep going to react 😊
No hurt feelings here! I did talk about Geoff a decent amount in this one - but this isn’t to say that the others are any less talented or what they’re doing is any less impressive.
Where I’ve been a bass/baritone singer for several years, I’m just naturally drawn to bass-related content. I typically try my best to address the things everyone is doing, but this one, I ended up talking about Geoff and his part more than the others. I’ll work on it, for sure! It’s an area for improvement!
Gotta ask…Did you miss the fart joke or did you just decide to try to be tasteful and ignore it? 😜
A mix of both, lol
@@EthanDrewMusic So you did catch it? 🙃
That made me laugh so damn hard, but I missed it the first 20 times I saw the vid ‘cause Layne had my attention.
So what genre is Sniff, Fart, spit, burp? 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Unfortunately, I don’t have an answer to that question, haha!
Congratulations. I think you managed to stop this song more than any other reactor I have watched react to this piece. It became quite irritating. I understand you want to analyze, but geez.
We completely lose any feel for the piece we are trying to hear while you react due to the EXCESSIVE stopping and starting. I won't watch any more of your reactions if this is typical.
If you don’t like how much I start and stop, then my reaction videos aren’t for you. This is a regular occurrence, and all of my reactions will be like this. I made this very plain in my first video, and I will not be changing how I do these reactions.
Perhaps my upcoming podcasts will interest you instead. I’ve got 3 coming up this month; one of which is this afternoon.
If those doesn’t interest you, then you will likely not enjoy any of my content. At that point, I’d recommend finding another channel to watch.
