OH MY GOSH this made me so emotional! I’m in love with this medley! What is your favorite song from this medley?
Each song is special. All them bring out the best of the song they are singing. How can you choose? They are all wonderful! :) One of their songs highlights some of the men in the group - it's Disney Show Stoppers. It's really good too. I'm enjoying your reactions. I'm looking forward to more!
Five words for ya, DM: O Come All Ye Faithful.
I am pretty sure Kate goes higher in the Disney Love Medley, in case you are ready for it... ;-)
@@primemover1416 Yeah, a masterclass from E.J.
I also love to listen to their mashup Carol of the Bells of Notre Dame.
Your soprano is Kate Lott. She, and several of the group, sing in Voices of Liberty at EPCOT in Florida.
So glad you love our Voctave family so much! Watching you discover us made me so happy!! Jamey’s arrangements are magic as are all these voices. I’m the luckiest as I get to help shape things as their Music Director. It’s a special group and team! So glad you are digging what we are doing!!! Thanks for the support and love
I had tickets for months for your show in Dayton last Dec. '23. How do you get sick the day before and miss this?? I managed to do it. I'm hoping Voctave will return to Victoria Theater in '24. You guys are beyond description. 😊😊
Voctave is in a class all their own ... ALL their arrangements are incredible ... O' Come All Ye Faithful will impress you ... C.J. is the soloist
Omg yes. Amazing
#subscriptionsquad
Yes!
EJ is his name
EJ Cardona
Omg yes so amazing.
Kate Lott is the soprano blowing your mind. Jamey Ray (gentleman next to Tony conducting) is the genius arranger for all Voctave songs. you will NOT be disappointed with whichever song of theirs you react to. "someday" and "baby mine" are my personal favs of theirs. (if you really want to get emotional. #subscriptionsquad
Chrystal(who sings Colors of the Wind) makes me tear up every time. Her voice is perfect for that song
I just love it when someone falls in love with Voctave like I have. Not that I need my opinion validated, but to experince your pure joy of being memerized and uplifted by musical excellence is so wonderful. It's not Christmas yet but you must listen to their rendition of "Mary did you know" Featuring Mark Lowry the writer of that song. For a taste of what the guys can do listen to the "Disney showstopper medley". Also "You will be found" which features a thousand voice virtual choir as back up. But everything they do is amazing so you can't really go wrong no matter what you choose. The man doing their arrangements is Jayme Ray and he sings in the group also.
She's already reacted to you will be found!!
I have to recommend O Come All Ye Faithful. The tenor EJ puts on a masterclass. His breath control alone will amaze you.
Hearing Kate in person at Epcot was a magical experience. Most of the Voctave members perform in the Voices of Liberty group and it is a life-changing event to hear them perform! Loved your reaction and appreciation of this perfect Disney Princess moment!
Kate Lott's range and control are on display in "Someone Like You". Very near the end she is soloing on a note that is so high, but so, so delicate - it's amazing.
"Someone Like You" and "Mary Did You Know" are my two favorites. Kate is a coloratura soprano and glides up to those F's above high C with ease. Her control/release is phenomenal.
Part of your world is so spot on. But the best moment is that cut after "yet". Great Movie Medley, Prince of Egypt. Even the Star Spangled Banner. Poor Unfortunate Souls which has our favorite collab partner Rachel Potter. O Come All Ye Faithful...get ready for that one.
Prince of Egypt!!!
Voctave does a great job singing "Mary, did you know" featuring Mark Lowry who actually wrote the song...Kate Lott the first soprano hits a G6 in this song...
"This is my favorite!"..."This is my favorite!" Danielle has turned into a child again. Great reaction.
They sang Mary Did You Know? with the writer of the song. It's beautiful.
The soprano is Kate Lott.
The beauty and talent of the singers of Voctave, coupled with the genius of Jamey Ray's arrangements. It really doesn't get much better. And the soprano one is Kate Lott. I'm sure it won't be long till your new obsession has you memorizing all their names though!
No one else should be ALLOWED to sing this after Voctave has done it!
That soprano is Kate Lott!! She is incredible as you are now finding out!! I highly recommend the Great Movie Medley next!! It shows all of Kate’s greatness!!
I'm not sure that even incredible is good enough to describe Kate Lott's soprano ability. I'm also not sure just how high she can go with her range. She's already around Jupiter's moons and still going. This cover is my favorite medley of theirs, but I also love their "Moon River" performance. If you haven't seen it, check it out.
The women shine in this video. You really need to hear the men shine in the Cinderella medley or the Prince of Egypt medley! Voctave never disappoints! #SubsciptionSquad
This is a "MASTERCLASS" of how its done!!....Disney?.....Hire this group PLEASE!!!....
I would love to see your reaction to Voctave's "Mary, Did You Know." The guest vocalist is Mark Lowry, who wrote the song. Kate Lott's vocal control at the end of the song will make you gasp.
Ya know, I'm not a very emotional guy, but I felt every single note in my heart and soul. Wow!
For a bonus Disney princess song, "How Far I'll Go" (from Moana). What really put Voctave on the map is the "Disney Love Medley" with Kirstin Maldonado (Pentatonix) and Jeremy Michael Lewis is nice (30 million views). For male soloists, check out Someone Like You from Jekyll and Hyde (with Jody McBrayer) or O Come All Ye Faithful.
Tiffany Colburn is a great soprano in her own right. Check out her solo in Oh Holy Night and get ready for the last note. Her Impossible Dream solo shows her amazing breath control although not quite as high. Your reactions are great. Keep up the great work.
The soprano you love is Kate Lott. :)
I've been waiting for you to review this one being the Disney Princess geek you are! About time ma'am!
Also, take note of how they managed to have 11 people match their vibratos perfectly on the very last note. Amazing
Definitely listen to Voctave singing Someone like you, with Jody McBrayer. You WILL cry.
When you watched Disney Medley, I could see a 6 year old girl with eyes wide open from excitement 😂😂
You HAVE got to do a reaction to Voctave’s “Disney Love Melody!!!!!”
I have said it before and I will say it again. Voctave, is perfection.
When you are singing that high you literally CAN'T enunciate as much as you'd like to. You can't stop the air flow to get the diction in without losing the breath support you need to sustain the note.
When I was in choir in college, my teacher used to tell the sopranos to go to an ah or ooh when we would go up that high, and the diction came from the rest of the group.
One thing about Kate Lot, the soprano, is that she is able to hit those pure, high notes with intensity while keeping the volume low. She has the ability to NOT overpower others. Quite a skill.
6:12 The reason they are all perfect for the Disney songs is that they are all current or former Disney singers, either as singing voices for non-theater animation releases or at DisneyLand/DisneyWorld, or some other Disney related venture.
Love to see someone that understands music listening to voctave. Regular people enjoy it, people who understand whats being done usually freak out just like you did, for how perfect they are… they are just ridiculous (in the best way possible). Their performances on Disney love medley, o came all ye faithfull, disney showstoppers and mary did you know are a must listen
Voctave is life. Tiffany Colburn the 2nd soprano, and personally my favorite is a super soprano in her own right. Please react to her O Holy Night solo and be ready for her last note. Her Impossible Dream solo is great also but not as high as Holy Night. Impossible Dream showcases her amazing breath control.
MORI AND DARREN *A WHOLE NEW WORLD* ON THE WISH BUS PLEASE 🤍
Loved your reaction to this. You need to react to Oh Holy Night. Tiffany the 2nd Soprano sing lead and also OH Come All Ye Faithful...EJ sings lead. Hope you can react before Christmas.
Welcome to Voctave : ) Great reaction! So hard to pick a favorite from this one ... I think I'd have to go with Colors of the Wind, Chrystal's voice is just so rich. And the first Soprano is Kate Lott; she is ridiculous XD The one who does their arranging is Jamey Ray, he's singing second from the left.
Pardon me while I pull up my notes (shuffles papers nervously)

I’m surprised you haven’t done a deeper dive into Voctave yet, nor any Pentatonix either. You’ve got lots to react to right there. Love your honest, genuine reaction.
i was just thinking about how it would be awesome if you reacted to Voctave, but the medley where Kirsten from pentatonix sang in. Then I saw this. was super happy to see it =)
Jamie Ray does the arrangements ... He is one of the tenors
Voctave's version of The Impossible Dream gets me every single time!!!
You were like a car lover test driving a Lamborghini. Voctave is awesome From one Disney geek to another... fantastic job!
Voctave was founded from Barbershop harmony. Several of them compete in both male and female international Barbershop quartet contest.
When you go back to listen to this again, pay attention near the end of "Reflection" just before Kate his her high note - the second one. Their tuning is so good that you can hear a ring tone of the note Kate is headed to before she gets there. Just incredible to get 11 people with such good intonation.
Voctave is the ish! They do great Christmas songs too. Check out Mary Did You Know ft. Mark Lowry.
Thanks coach D!🤙🏽 you rock 🤟🏽
WOW thank u so much.. at last u have reacted to them.. since its BER months.. we Filipinos celebrate Christmas as early as September.. why dont you react to thier "Oh come all ye faithful" its a top notch! we're excited to see how you react to thier super tenor
I can be accounted for at least 10 views of this post. your reactions and the way I could see the emotion and tears forming in your eyes exemplifies how Voctave videos touch people. I keep watching just to see your reaction to each segment and each musical eargasm. (sorry, thats the only word I could use to describe what I see) theres no way you walk away in a bad mood after listening to them. your technical critiques and the way you get pushed back in your seat shows your love, appreciation and knowledge of music. you almost forget these are human voices in the background, there are no musical instruments.
Absolutely beautiful! Each voice, each harmony, each song.
What an outstanding arrangement!
This is my intro to Voctave, and wow! It's also my intro to you, Danielle. I so enjoyed the way you explain what was sending you back to 7 years old. You're adorable (I'm old, so I can say that.) lol. I'm so impressed with Voctave. Master Class, for sure. #subscriptionsquad
O Come All Ye Faithful, Disney Showstoppers, and Mary Did You Know are all great! Also the Prince of Egypt medley, though they only have audio for that one at the moment.
That ending gets me every time, so you aren't the only one who loves the ending. #subscriptionsquad
Check out "The Great Movie Medley" which is Voctave's tribute to John Williams. Voctave plus John Williams equals true perfection.
I love the men’s part during the climax of “Part of Your World”
I know some of these folks and not only are they talented, they are wonderful, humble people. Jamey Ray is an amazing arranger.
I just recently heard their 90s Disney Cartoon medley, it was really good! Highly suggest a reaction to that!
There's something very special about the women who sing in this group. They get the special ring heard more frequently in male ensembles. The arranger understands barber shop harmonies, but also the art of using voices as instruments within the arrangement. Bravo to the men in this group, your voices make these women sparkle even more.
There isn't a bad voctave video... Looking forward to seeing you react to all of them.
Tears for a Voctave reaction is an automatic sub. Teary-eyed, and multiple goosebumps, was close enough. Thank you. Subbed.
The gentleman directing the group is Tony Derosa. He has four Barbershop International Gold Medals in 4 different quartets. Read his complete bio. It’s pretty impressive.
The second guy from the left does the arrangements. Jamie. He's a genius.
They are just perfect. Voctave = perfection.
I have seen this track by Voctave hundreds of times, but for the first time I got chills watching with you. I enjoyed watching you get very involved. x
when I see your reactions ..... I see a little girl who enters Disneyland for the first time ...... with that smile and that astonished look and as if I were eternally happy with what you listen to.
If you love stacked harmonies you must check out Jacob Collier's 'Moon River'. He won a Grammy for his arrangement of that song. Everything he does is great, sings, plays every instrument - a true musical prodigy.
Voctave did a Disney Princess Love Medley with Kristen of PTX and Jeremy, also an acapalla singer who was engaged to Kristen at the time. It was pretty good. "Disney Love Medley (feat. Kirstin Maldonado & Jeremy Michael Lewis)"
Danielle I just found your channel and I'm 7 min in and I'm already so moved by your reaction. I live in a household where none of my family really feels or understands my love and passion for music. I don't play any instrument but I have a smidge above average singing voice. I can sing well enough to be in a small vocal group because I blend well with others or a section leader in a choir but not as a soloist. Seeing you react and notice things that I see and hear as well makes me feel that I'm not alone. That others are moved to the very core of their souls as I am when they are moved by a small pause or precise placement of tone in a song. I guess I'd say Thank you for loving music and sharing your thoughts with us.
Great reaction !! Jamey Ray is the arranger and has done arrangements for the other top acapella groups. Read his Bio... amazing! The gentleman looking like he is conducting is doing that more out of habit, from being one of the top barber shop quartet singers ever, than being the actual director. Kate Lott is THE soprano. So many songs in all genres.... The Great Movie Medley ( all John Williams compositions) Disney Show Stoppers featuring 3 of the men, Someone Like you ( from Jekyll & Hyde) featuring christian singer Jody McBrayer, How Far I'll Go, This is My Wish/ Let There Be Peace, Prince Of Egypt and all their Christmas songs. A huge, deep rabbit hole you will love falling into. Thank you sooo much for your insights and wonderful joy!
my favorite Voctave performance is their 'Impossible Dream'... they also do it with the DCI group, Carolina Crown. so powerful.
I've watched your pure reaction here 20 times. Sometimes you don't have to tear something apart, but just simply enjoy it and nothing more.
You can do 2 of their short songs in one video.. Stampede from Lion King...mind blowing..Voice Play, Pentatonix and most others couldn't do what they do, without all doing multiple parts layered in the studio. Over The Rainbow, will bring a tear to your eye with it's pure beauty!
Hi Danielle, This is the 1st time I'm seen 1 of your videos. Your honest reaction was a sight to gehold. I could watch you simply turn into a little 7 y.o. girl seeing her 1st Disney movie and falling in love with it. Your reaction truly had me shedding tears. I have recently found Voctave as well and I simply love them. To my chagrin I recently found out they had sung in Dayton, OH last month and I didn't know of them at the time--I'm sick about it. A few of there songs I really enjoy are Moon River, Impossible Dream, O Holy Night to mention a few. I will be watching your videos and I have 2 artists you may or may not know of. First is David Phelps. OMG, the voice on this classically trained man is mind numbing. He has a rendition of OHOLY Night you MUST listen to. The next is Lucy Thomas. I believe she is 17 and is from Great Britain. Talented beyond her age, beautiful and genuine. She actually sings like an angel. Sometimes her little sister, Martha, joins her in duets. She is headed towards superstar status I hope. Please take a moment and listen to both. YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED!!! Ron from OH
A year later and still gives me chills!
Carol of the Bells of Notre Dame gives me chills every time
In a league of their own. Pentatonix is great for 5. These create a choir with like 10
Im not sure if you have been told, but Voctave also goes by "The Voices of Liberty" from Epcot in The Liberty Pavilion. They are absolutely amazing. I have loved them from the first time I went to Disney World.
Voctave is mind blowing indeed! My favorite is Mary Did You Know. They sing it with Mark Lowery - Mark wrote the lyrics of the song. He sings it in a very distinct way. And Voctave wrapped around Mark's voice and the song ... it brought me to tears the first time I heard that rendition. Check it out.
Loved your reaction ! Here's some of their best performance:
O Come All Ye Faithful
Disney Showstoppers Medley
Someone Like You
Poor Unfortunate Souls
Great Movie Medley
Beauty and the Beast
Everyone in this group worked for disney productions for live shows before forming voctave
Their great movie medley is outstanding. It’s a nod to John Williams. Insanity. Also their Prince of Egypt medley. The p of e doesn’t have a video with it, just the sound. But it’s by far their best best best song out yet
I love watching people discover Voctave! You already have several great recommendations in the comments, but you really can't go wrong with any of them (though I will toss my votes in for O Come All Ye Faithful and Disney Show Stoppers)!
I'm touched by your reaction. Really heartfelt.
So you've discovered Jamey and Kate. We'll be coming up on holiday time soon so tuck a couple suggestions in the back of your mind to react to then: "Mary, Did You Know?" (for Kate-her last note is epic and has probably the most effortless talent I've ever heard in a soprano), "This Is My Wish/Let There Be Peace on Earth" (for the alto ?I think her name is Sarah? and CJ), and "O Come, All Ye Faithful" (for CJ). But another couple suggestions for now would include their versions of "The Star-Spangled Banner" and "The Great Movie Medley."
P.S. And you don't even miss a beatboxer in this group, do you?
First, the Soprano 1 is Kate Lott. She is amazing. Secondly, the arranger/ composer is Jamey Ray. He is second guy to Kate's Right. The first guy is EJ Cardona. He is amazing as well. All of the the members of Voctave are current or former members of Disney's Voices of Liberty, who sing daily at Walt Disney World Epcot World pavilion, America. That too is an amazing group. You cannot go wrong with any of their work but to me, the absolute best are Prince of Egypt medley. And Miss Pocahontas sings I Know Where I've Been and it is one of the most powerful songs. Also check out Mary Did You Know featuring Mark Lowry, who wrote the lyrics to the song, and Oh Come All Ye Faithful with EJ leading the way.
Hi Danielle-
Voctave has been a favorite of mine for a while now, and I’m convinced they are amongst the very best singers on earth.
Jamie is a musical genius with his arrangements. He not only does Voices of Liberty and Voctave but is also a Dapper Dan on Main Street.
In this medley of perfection I love how, starting with Kate Lott and ending with Chrystal Johnson, the voices go from highest to lowest. Ashley Espinoza who does the phenomenal Mulan was a world champion barbershop singer. Sarah Wittemore has recorded several albums and performs on her own, and I laughed when you said she should be in a movie. She channels Ariel so perfectly. Tiffany Coburn, the second singer (I Know You), has recordings of faith-based selections.
It’s hard for me to pick a favorite amongst these ladies, and in this number the men are no slouches, either. I put this one on whenever I feel the need to puddle up for a minute. It gets me every time.
And the astounding thing that’s hard to realize is this is an acapella group, and not one of the shitty beat-boxxy, weird harmony sort. The arrangements and the maturity of the voices are unmatchable.
I’ll finally get to see Voctave live and in person next month as they tour their holiday show. I’ll leave you with one recommendation- find the full length version of Voctave’s My Grown Up Christmas List, which has stunning harmonies and is led by Chrystal. Their version runs rings around Pentatonix and Kelly Clarkson, who normally ain’t bad at all.
I love to watch reactions to this medley, and you’ve got one of the best ones.
I'm no singer but have some musical experience as a brass band musician, and my disbelief at this group's professional abilities is mind blowing. Such a powerful performance from the singer's as well as an absolute gorgeous arrangement. Kudos Voctave and thx for a superb reaction video. Cheers Arthur.
this group is truly amazing and I LOVE your honest, emotional reaction to how epic they are! Two others you should check out...even if it just for your own listening pleasure, are "Great Movie Medley" & "Disney Love Medley"...they also do a killer "You Will Be Found". Love your content, keep it a comin!
Anyone in the Columbia, Mo area, VOCTAVE will be in Columbia, Mo DEC. 8th!!!
Yeahh, that thimgamabobs line was so spot on. Underrated as an Ariel
Christmas is coming, Listen to Voctave featuring "Mark Lowary" doing "Mary Did You Know" Mark is the person who wrote the words to this song. His friend wrote the music back in 1985.
I love that at 7:53 you seem to become one of us and just started taking it all in instead of "analyzing"...love your reactions!
You should react to their Impossible Dream or something nice and smooth like “Moon River”
i love the reflection so much😍
When she says "wind" at the end of Colors Of The Wind literally sounds like the wind just blew the note away... the softness of her voice was amazing!
As others have shared, the genius behind Voctave is Jamey Ray (the second gentleman from the far left, singing tenor) who is the group's founder and the sole arranger of ALL of their pieces. He writes parts specifically for EACH SINGER as opposed to a particular voice type, enabling him to maximize the special gifts of each of his 11 singers. Sheet music for many of his arrangements is available on the Voctave website.
5:50 , it's my favorite song of Disney Princess. I alway goosebumps at this moment 6:50 , that bring me back to my childwood when i heard for the first time this song at movie theater (i cried of joy when i was a child). And this version amplified my ancient feeling about this song (soprano's part is awesome). Love your reaction 😊
of ALL of your reactions that i've had the privilege of watching and listening to....THIS.....IS MY ALL TIME FAVORITE!! Thank you Danielle....so much for this marvelous full hearted emotion filled reaction to this Masterpiece by Voctive!!
You are always such a joy to watch! Your passion, your indepth knowledge of so many topics when it comes to music......your sense of humor and funloving attitude ..topped off by your demonstrable inner and outer beauty...make every one of your reaction vids are pure joy to watch and listen to!!
Love your reaction as I so love Voctave. Please give us more. :)
You have a Disney princess speaking voice. I love it!
So I’m on my every-now-and-then Voctave reaction binge, and the first thing I noticed when you spoke, is that you sound like a Disney Princess yourself! 💚 It’s always nice finding new channels with great content. As a vocalist myself, I love it. You got yourself a new subscriber!
Thank you so much for reacting to Voctave. You are going to get such chills hearing their soprano one. Colours of the wind is one of my fav songs. #subscriptionsquad they do the most amazing version of Oh Come All Ye Faithful with EJ Cardinal who is Omar Cordona's brother in the lead. So if you would like some chills and some Christmas in the summer, this is what you need to hear
Please check out their Greatest Movie medley and their Prince of Egypt medley. They are absolute masters in harmony and unity it’s like velvet for your ears. Their composer is so talented they hit the nail on the head every time.
Aww only two videos in this playlist?! *GIRL* !!! You are behind and need to add more lol.
