Vocal ANALYSIS of MayTree's Squid Game cringing sounds with Among Us's deadly airlocks!

We just released merchandise! Check out the full line-up here: thecharismaticmerch.com

" Oh!! That's disturbing..." and continues to watch it 4 more times.

Many years ago when I was in high school one of my friends was incredibly gifted at making mechanical noises and to top it off he could throw his voice. He would watch the clock in the cafeteria and about three minutes before the bell rang he would mimic the bell. Other students would get up and head for class. There were several complaints about the lunch clock but they never figured out what was wrong with it! This video brought back some funny childhood memories!

As mentioned in the chat already, I heavily recommend MayTree's cover of Baba Yetu, which got compliments from the composer :)

Maam your smile and laugh is priceless.

Oh wow, wasn't expecting this one, but couldn't be more excited! I first saw MayTree on a Korean acapella show called Vocal Play (not to be confused with Voice Play) which combined a lot of acapella groups and some of Korea’s top beatboxers. It was a lot of fun and also great to see how successfull MayTree has been since.

I love MayTree, they're so creative with their shorts. I first came across them about 9 months ago and my daughter really likes them too.
I liked how you pointed out the "ng" consonant - this is something that my vocal coach started me on and you're completely right, it helps you find the right placement for vowels. But when I switched to using "ng" through my vocal warm-up (from humming on a straw) I almost immediately was able to hit higher notes going from "ng" to "ah" than I had been able to going from the straw humming to the vowel. Especially in my head voice. It was a really great tool to learn about.
I really enjoy your reactions!

More Maytree, please! I love them so much

I’ve been subscribed to MayTree for a few months now and they continue to blow me away. Their Plants vs Zombies video is amazing, as is their cover of Baba Yetu. I wouldn’t mind you revisiting them in the future :)

Hi Elizabeth, this is my first time listening to this A Cappella group, and I loved their performance. The group has some wonderful voices, and they made the most fun and amazing sound effects! This was an awesome performance!! Thank you, Elizabeth!!! 💙

Please do more Maytree, their channel is full of insane talent and creativity.

I love Maytree so hard! They’re just so impressive, they can do any sound possible, it’s ridiculous! ❤️✨

Wow they're good! A revisit to this group would be awesome. They have great harmonies.

Awesome performance of this South Korean a cappella group. It's almost unbelievable that the human vocal system is capable of producing such a variety of sounds.
There's more than words 😃Thanks for introducing them to us. CrAzY🤪AND it was so much fun watching you freak out about the weird sounds. Marvelous!💯

You know when they are really good, when their Baba Yetu -CIV IV title song cover is appraised by Christopher Tin himself. My favorite song from any game, love live orchestral version of that, Peter Hollens version is also really good but MayTrees one is also good with its simple approach without huge orchestras and choirs, just five talented peeps.

lol "Thats so Disturbing!" *Proceedes to watch it over 4 times*

MayTree fan here since 2018. FYI, they upload new content weekly, if you're in PST like I am it's at 5:00 a.m. Fridays. Yours is the best analysis yet of this amazing group. Up until January 2021 they had 62k subs, then they exploded last year and now they're just shy of 5M. Soo and S.I. have been there since the beginning in 2000, Wonjong joined in 2013, Erika in 2016 and Hoony in 2017. They just appeared on _America's Got Talent_ on July 19, 2022, they wrapped up two weeks recording at Abbey Road earlier in July, and some of their work appeared in the massive K-Drama hit _Extraordinary Attorney Woo_ this summer. 🙂

Aw, sad that you haven't done any more Maytree. They have a ton of shorts ripe for the picking! They even did a masterful version of Master of Puppets... You'll lose your mind at the guitar solo.

I would love to hear you giggling over more videos from Maytree =D I really enjoyed it, thank you!

You have to do their running up that hill cover. It gives me chills almost every single time

This was so cool! I was laughing right beside you there. Thanks for this reaction and analysis.

Oh I just found MayTree a few months ago and was so impressed! Hope you will react to more of them!

The most fun thing about your reactions is watching you have fun. You're just adorable! On a side note, I cannot think about vocal folds without thinking about them going. "Wacka--wacka--wacka"! I have never heard them referred to this way before or since!

Just found your channel a day or two ago and have been mostly binging your metal reactions, and I was ecstatic to see MayTree on your channel! The amount of different sounds all of them can make with such precision is absolutely mind-blowing, and it's so cool to get to watch you break down some of the mechanics of how they're doing it. Your explanations are so in-depth and easy to digest and understand. I would love to see you go over more of MayTree's stuff if the mood ever takes you (but I'll continue to enjoy your induction into the metal fold regardless!).

They are so great! I love the human voice, it's amazing. They have a couple of videos where they did film studio sounds, so much fun. The Pixar and THX are my faves.

Finally you reacted them! they are really fantastic!

What an absolutely lovely review, I enjoyed this so much!

This was ridiculously cute, amazing, and so much fun! ❤️❤️❤️

Holy S... - what an amazing performance! Thanks for the analysis. :)

I blasted through all their videos in a day... it was amazing. When they do the Nintendo and Movie Studio Intros sounds it's incredible.

Oh wow, really enjoyed this one! Some heavy vocal science, always love learning the subtle details, it really enhances the experience. Your reactions were priceless in this one Elizabeth, and I agree about the combination of brighter classical music with darker content, it can have such an emotional impact. (On a separate note Parasite is an excellent film, I highly recommend it!)

Your reactions to this group is great, I really hope you do more reactions to Maytree, no matter which one of their videos you click on it will always never stop to amaze you!

0:40 so unrelated to the group, squid game is a really good show that plays with a lot of character development and relationships with the characters. If you keep on watching it becomes something cool and shocking. And the same film company made another show call All of us are Dead about zombies so I recommend it too

Oh I've been hoping you'd do a reaction to Maytree! I only found them a few months ago, and started to recommended them a few times but I guess I was just too shy. 😁
Thank you for this and all of your reactions! I'm a huge fan of all your work!

9:33 I use that machine gun vibrato to transit from Spongebob's iconic laugh into the vocalization part of The Magic Flute from Mozart. I call that vocal joke my "Queen of the Jellyfish flute". (Reference for that title: Spongebob Squarepants season 2, episode "I'm your biggest fanatic") 🧽

I always love your reactions as you are so expressive. However, to go completely off topic. Love your pendent. It reminds me of the pin from the Sword of Azrael from the show Lucifer. Thanks again for a great reaction.

I adore this channel so much.

Thats a great analysis and observation thanks for this👌✨

This was a very enjoyable video with lots of good commentary. Also, I love your octopus! 🐙

I like how there's a squid in the background as you're reviewing their squid game acapella

Although a fan of kdrama I could never bring myself to watch squid games!
This group is fascinating!! Love it!!

May tree also did Master of Puppets with the guitar solo. Very cool.

Check out Tommy Johansson (sabaton guitarist) - You Raise me Up (1 octave challenge).
That's...impressive to say the least 🙂

So nice you found them, so funny reaction :) I discovered that group by the Windows effects, they really sound like Windows... one of my favorites is History of music devices, I suggest you this one for your next Maytree reaction ;)

I somehow missed this earlier but I highly recommend Maytree! They don't do many song covers but their sound effect videos are unmatched!

I first head of them because of your reaction video, now I've seen ALL of their videos like 10 times. It's actually surreal how good they are. Now it is my duty to get you to react to all of them too😁

OMG, I also have that Lilith statue in the background. Awesome!!

Madness! Brilliant Madness, wow.
The Among Us sounds 🤯

I've heard Maytree were pretty good and you're definitely right.
Also, off hook, but I reckon there's a band called Vola you should check out, Would recommend Stray the Skies!
Love your reviews btw!

insanely talented, but a bit creepy too. great enjoyable reaction/analysis. I would love a reaction to the fantastic "Lovebites" eventually.

This was a fun one. ❤

Hi! I’m Annika from Sweden, and I just love your channel and your reactions. You are so open and curious to what you’re going to hear, and that’s such an inspiration!
I’ve tried to search your channel, but could not find if you already has reacted to Jon Henrik Fjällgren? He was born in Colombia, but got adopted to a Sami family in the north of Sweden. He is a musician and a reinder hearder, and he ”joikar”, ”yoyks”. It’s singing, but only with sounds, not words, and it’s beautiful. He won the Sweden got talent (Talang) some years ago, and he’s entry to contest has some 12 mn views. It would be awesome to hear your take on his voice and techniques!
Kindly, Annika

FYI: Rammstein will release a new single/music video, for their upcoming album tomorrow 17:00 CET, both being titled "Zeit"(which means "Time").

In the past few days I’ve been checking MayTrees other content. They are great, really hope you revisit them again in the future. (Timing is great. Songs are so short yet spot on) 👍🏼❤️

Really interesting, I hadn't heard of Maytree or squid game(I kind of automatically thought Spongebob and Squidward), but I will definitely be listening to this again. I love how open you are to old and new groups and different genres. It is really kind of fun making different kind of weird sounds. I would really love to hear your reaction to Jefferson Airplane's White Rabbit.

you really need to push through with squid game... trust me, the first episode is not enough to make you appreciate the story or the message its trying to teach

Michael Winslow does amazing beatbox, and voice work. I think you'd have a blast listening to his version of Whole Lotta Love.

Hey Elizabeth!
"Vision of Atlantis" released a new Song called "Legion of the Seas" today.
I don't think you have listened to Clémentine Delauney yet although she is an amazing singer with a classical voice.
I'm certain that you would enjoy this song.
Anyway have a good day!

What a funny laugh you have. It is giving soo much joy😂😂😂

You should do "Queensryche, Lady Jane,".

This needs more views

I really really really wanted her to react to Bad Omens, especially with how many different ways there are that Noah can use his voice!

Love it as always and another introduction to someone new!! One thing I noticed is that they use everyone on the drum/beatbox line. The bass did it and after her "french horn" solo that gal did a bunch of drumline sounds and then went back to opera for the finale? Just trying to read lips, body language and dont come up with anything other than that.

You should totally cover more of MayTree

I just discovered this channel and saw her reaction to Slaughter to prevail. Did not expect to see that. The real question is: will she react to Infant Annihilator? Oh, make it happen. You have a new subscriber here.

I would LOVE to see you take a listen to Heilung. The absolute tribal nature of their music takes you back 1,000 years, slaps a beard on your face, your dog becomes Fenrir and 6 feet of snow falls around you.
It's awesome stuff live too.

#acapella ! It feels like it’s been ages ago since the last TCV a Capella song with absolute vocal nerding. Elizabeth needs her fix, and so do I (we)

This week is a great one, another band I didn't know, and this performance is a great one too. Can't wait for your Fridays one and may I request a review on Nina Hagen or Skunk Anansie?

I love your reactions and analysis. I learn something each time. I have to suggest Laura Marling’s “Sophia” and Avi Kaplan’s “Change on the Rise”.

Hoping to see a reaction to my favourite band, Imminence.
It's a metal band from Sweden, and the vocalist plays the violin :)
I would recommend Chasing Shadows & Alleviate.

9:18 i didn't expect such weird laugh and giggles 🤣🤣🤣

I saw one trailer for Squid Games and knew immediately this isn’t a show I will ever come within a hundred miles of.

MayTree has very interesting stuff. It's always cool. Do more. Their Simpsons theme for example is absolutely perfect. Their take on the Star Wars theme is... damn impressive.
That one girl always has to hold the monitor up though. In EVERY video. It's not very fair. 😁. It's not like she isn't also singing a ton too. It's likely not heavy, but YOU try holding your hands up for the hour it probably takes to do a few takes.

This reminds me of a band that blew me & my wife away! They opened for Michael Buble and were called Naturally 7!! They were an amazing group of men completly performing covers of pop music with only their voices!! NO INSTRUMENTS AT ALL!! But if you closed your eyes you thought you were listening to the full band! Vocals, electric guitars, drums, percussion and CV classical instruments. They are very talented. It was amazing to "Watch & Listen" to!! You had to use both senses together to truly appreciate their talent and artistry. They even added some humor! During a couple of the guitar solos the one guy that was the electric guitar was literally being leaned over another member mimicking playing him as a guitar while he sang his solo.
Truly original and thoroughly entertaining!! Should check out some Naturally 7 sometime.

With all your amusement and fascination of all the cool noises they're making it makes me want to see you react to some Michael Winslow videos.

Relating to beatboxing, would love a reaction to Stich - Feels like nothing, for real cool vocal effects

I wish she could react to the "2021 EM UMA MUSICA"its a medley where this Brazilian guy sings the most famous songs from this year in a more rockish version, but not only sing he plays all the instruments, i bet she will be really impressed.

Watched quite some video's of MayTree. The intro sounds of major movie production companies is hilarious and most of the times spot on (the only exception is Metro Goldwin Mayor, but then again it's a roaring lion. So I can't really blame them). Movie intro's 1 krplus.net/bidio/m5h8aZOndnjaiXY and Movie intro's 2 krplus.net/bidio/fclrY3aHq63cg2U and really worth listening is the THX intro in Movie intro's 2.

Just some suggestions for future analysis - Queensryche "Open" and "Anybody Listening?" / Temple of the Dog "Say Hello To Heaven" (Album version) / The Cult "Painted On My Heart" / Tool "Ticks and Leeches"

Elizabeth: Squid Game is going to haunt me for the rest of my life
Me: Already forgot half the show

Please review more of Maytree, their latest stuff is great.

You really must be a MayTree fan! So is so many others including me.

I would love it if you could try to get an interview with them

와우~ 잘하네요~ 신기해요~~🤩😱

They did a PHENOMENAL cover of the bugs bunny (yep, you read that right) cartoon where bugs is the conductor tormenting the tenor... It shows of the bass guy's voice perfectly.

Thanx for doing this Lady Charisma ...... //-_~
I hope u do something from PERPETUUM JAZZILE !!!... "Africa", "Jump", or "Don't stop me now" ... anything from them ... all are great !!!...
I hope u stay safe and keep up da good works ......
Cheers n regards from Korea ......
|m|_ //-_- _|m/

The alto is the one who arranges everything.

4 out of the 5 are science and engineering majors. Soo majored in architecture, Erika was teaching but also music, Wonjong was computer science, SI studied chemistry

Hey there, Elizabeth, I was looking through your channel and was thinking you should do a reaction to "Surface Pressure" from the Disney movie "Encanto". Not only is Jessica Darrow an amazing singer with an amazing voice, the message of the song is also incredible and emotional. Just a suggestion, thanks for all your videos!

Morning to everyone and Elizabeth!😷😎🎤🎵

I also love Acapella music. I've grew up listen to Take 6 two first albums.

Please do the Avenged sevenfold song “so far away”. It is a different turn from their other songs and has much vocal depth. I think you would find this song very interesting.

On a slightly related A Capella note, I’d be super interested to hear Elizabeth’s take and educated explanations of the vocal and muscular techniques of DJ Verbalase’s beatboxing. That man has some wicked vocal talent and the vocal control needed to create the sounds he creates is prodigious, in my opinion.
That would be such a cool and enlightening interview.

Hello Elizabeth, I'm from Brazil, I found your channel recently and I'm loving your reviews ! I've watched about eight to 10 videos. I hope you see that comment and I saw that you never reacted to a performance by my favorite band, Led Zeppelin. I really wanted you to react to "Since I've been loving you" at Madison Square Garden in 1973 and Peter Gabriel's song "Don't give up" live feat. Paula Cole, I think you'd like it a lot. I'll be looking forward to it ❤️

If you check out their stuff again, their arrangement of the Zelda Tears of the Kingdom main theme brings tears to my eyes consistently. Way too beautiful to describe in a comment :)

I am completely unfamiliar with Maytree, but I am all too aware of how awesome Elizabeth's reactions to a capella music are. Going to hard to top that last Voiceplay reaction, but this looks like it could be a contender. I, for one, am glad that Elizabeth is Among Us. Squid Game? Let's get Kraken!

You should check out Kevin Matiysn! He's the singer Parabelle and ex singer of Evans Blue. Such a great voice and deep lyrics!

Hi there. Would love to see you react to New Zealand singer Stan Walker. If you start at the beginning of his career you can watch the growth of and incredible talent we kiwis are extremely proud of. Thanks for your time and love your work✌️

Haha, I love your reaction to Squid game.
You should probably watch more, though. The acting, writing, direction, sound design- everything about it is phenomenal. People like it because it's so dramatic and fucked up.

After this breakdown I ended up down a rabbit hole of May Trees channel please watch their brake down of History of Music Devices astounding talent laughed out loud at portable CD players and their summary of the movie Encanto sheer talent
