[t3986660]

Замечательная песня, голос, видео! Огромное спасибо за это видео!

[doctorwhofan827]

7 people are deaf

[punchez117]

this...is...amazing...literall­y

[Cray407]

I like this better than most of your other songs. No autotune is always better.

[Cray407]

@Cray407 Alright I've listened to this 7 times now, I actually love it.

[SutaSafaia]

I think I ran out of breath just watching you sing this.

[Droideka133]

i need an amp for after thanksgiving , Im gonna playing this outside EVERY night!!

[MrPaulette2]

you are a genius

[roachbkpa]

Amazing...impressive...enjoyab­le...and I am a musical person, so I don't impress as easy as some folks (nor am I as critical or picky as others ;-))

[tallelite]

I dont thign im used to seeing "Dong" in giant letters onmy screen o_0

[erygan]

very very impressive!!

[nerdkandylover]

what video editing software, did you use if I may ask?

[pianistlover2008]

Incredible!!  You are so talented. Sounds perfect!!

[MyNameIsNotBoberta]

At my Junior High, the Select Choir, in which I was proud to be an alto in, did this exact arrangement. :3 FUN! :D

[Flakygal]

Absolutely perfect! :D And you didn't use AT? Wow, you're born to sing <3

[gabers101010101]

dude this gave me chill

[chamberl]

Where's the Mr. Mackey (or is it Mr. Garrison) version?

[Judelva]

Perfect!!!! I know this will sound weird, but I collect different versions of Carol of the Bells. And this one is by far my favorite:) Thank you for doing this. It is now added to my private collection:)

[TheLetterQwerty]

I wish it was Christmas now. D:

Great Job though :D

[HoRiZoNxSearch]

WICKED!

[TrumpetLoverTori]

awsome job man that is sooo cool.

[Nartard342]

this is very great

[topintn]

Great!

[DarkPoet36]

Nice. I apreciate a good song with this type of setup.

[faaridhsaam]

mind blowing.....

[skidude7253]

nice job, but ditch the auto tune. its kind of cheating, and takes some of the hardest elements of multitracking out of the picture. you are good, but stop hiding behind so much computer help

[vanceperry]

@skidude7253 Although I do use AT on some songs to touch up the piece, I did not use any on this song. You probably shouldn't talk about what you do not know, but thanks for listening.

[jonstr3]

@vanceperry you did use synth though right?

[Delta4651]

@vanceperry nice, i really like your work, i cant wait to hear more :D

[sk8erboy618]

@skidude7253 you got burned bitch!!

[buffoony]

@skidude7253 You have absolutely no idea what you are talking about. I didn't detect any autotune whatsoever. I did hear some simple digital mastering with possibly some filtering to bring out each part. Excellent vocals! That harmony was Bangin!

[ImaBadAssDruid]

@skidude7253 what sounds to you like autotune is probably just the harmony sounding like an autotune. I dont hear anything that sounds like autotune...????? Great Job Vance I enjoy your videos :D subscribed

[MrRyanthelion]

@skidude7253 ^ exactly what you said. definitely AT.

[tiyenin]

OH MY GOD, what the hell is going on with this arrangement? It modulates half a dozen times in the span of ONE VERSE!!!!

[Tokushimaz]

@tiyenin It's the awesomeness of it.

[darklightnin]

@tiyenin It's because he's listening to it while he's singing it. It's not bad, I think it's awesome still, but when someone's listening to a piece while they sing it, they have a tendency to modulate their voice alot trying to match pitch, if you understand what I mean.

[tiyenin]

@darklightnin That, or he wrote it that way and it was intended.

[03Dmartin]

@tiyenin what do you mean modulates? xo

[tiyenin]

@03Dmartin You are fucking kidding, right?

[03Dmartin]

@tiyenin No, just want to know what you mean by modulates. Modulation of what?

[tiyenin]

@03Dmartin OK, I'll explain. Modulate means to move into different keys. Assuming you have no musical experience, keys affect how "high" or "low" the melody, harmony, and song/piece as a whole sounds.

Starting at 0:36, listen to the melody. Everyone knows how this melody sounds for the majority of the verses: Hark how-the-bells, sweet sil-ver-bells, et ce-ter-a, et ce-ter-a. Notice how each time the melody changes from head to head, the "highness" of the melody changes.

Modulation!

[03Dmartin]

@tiyenin Oh right, thanks. I have musical experience lol but I've never used or heard the word modulation in the context of key change, just signal change ox

[vendingdudes]

@tiyenin and that's what makes it so much more amazing!!!

[mkilp91]

this is awesome. Sounds auto tuned but still a cool arrangement. 

[Alphonse0Theodore]

oh my GOSH ! you sounded like an ORGAN at the end! almost electronic! Neat song! Thank you for sharing your gift with the world! -from Coon Rapids, Minnesota

[saintsaens21]

Terrific.

[SuperFS11]

Very nice! what software do you use?

[prtf]

This is awesome.

[desertedsoulx]

This is so COOL! You freaking rock!

[singinwonder09]

i think this is your best video ever. the harmony was flawless, i loved the key changes EVERYTHING was just phenomenal!

[dwells5703]

Fantastic!!! i got chill at the chord change...great job... *Subscribing!!!

[mdincaa3]

THIS IS SO GOOD! can i use an arrangement kind of based off this one for my accapella club??

[anandcuong]

WOW THIS YOUTUBE GUY IS AMAZING EVEN MORE THAN AMAZING WHEN DO YOU KNOW HOW TO SING LIKE THAT

[netguider]

I don't know what to say.... this is just about as fabulous a video as I've seen on Youtube... absolutely incredible... you are one very very talented man....

Randy

[RobTheInterpreter]

this kills me hahaha i cant stop thinking about this

[celticmoon13]

i LOVE this version!!! i'm working on one myself, and it's the first time i have attempted to do all the different parts on one track, this has actually inspired me in a couple of ways! i do have it posted as an EXTREMELY rough recording on my page if you have any helpful words? i could use feedback from someone with an ear like yours! thanks!

~brit

[RobTheInterpreter]

your awesome man i was like screaming when baratone came in haha

[hotmusic84]

haaa P.S. it is possible to have the score for my particular interest and perhaps for this holiday season to be able to put up 'with my men's choir? I ask you please if possible, no matter the format in which you can have it if pdf or jpg or whatever it was important for me .... I apologize for my English but I do not talk at all (and I believe that Google Translate does a bit 'of confusion) :-) with thanks and happy Christmas!

[hotmusic84]

WWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOW­WWWWWWWWWW is RELY BEAUTY ARRANGIAMENT AND TUNED BEAUTY:::::::

[viggom8N]

You're singing beautifully, but your bass is my absolute favorit! That was just.. wow! This is now on my Christmas mix youtube playlist!! :) Fantastic work, Vance!

[AfterMath428]

sfdfdf

[AfterMath428]

WOW YOU ARE AWESOME!

[VinSmileTube]

I like it! Thank you!

[Jyremy]

i love how u did the second tenor part..so awesome

[keep0ffgrass]

I've come back to listen to this arrangement so many times it's embarrassing.

[Noogyman]

Holy... You are amazing man. Truely amazing!

[MegaHoneyCombs]

hey man i was recorded for this song and i would like to know how u had ur video set up like this. its and awesome vid.

[nigel94rich]

this song is really cool.... do you have facebook? haha

[MissAlaska89]

my friends and i are trying to learn the parts for this. is there any specific sheet music you used to learn it?

[CataclysmicStar]

Really nice arrangement, different than the typical. Thought it sounded great. :D This is inarguably one of my favorite Christmas songs!

[MrDude600]

wow this is the best I have ever heard, you should get a link on here, I could listen to this all day, you have talent.

[avrilene0929]

merry christmas!!!

[MBStargazer]

Really fantastic. Great job on the vocals and the added video really adds to the presentation. You must have some pro video experience.

[slculotti]

Ding! Fries are done. Ding! Fries are done.

[Epydemic2020]

That was pretty awesome.

[trapkid2005]

I commend your range and tone.

[LatinoLegend11]

vanceperry im sorry if you have gotten this question before but is there any sheet music for this song because i cant find it and i want to do this arrangement of the song with my quartet but its too hard to learn by ear. Can I only get the parts by contacting the arranger?

[eclips1994]

wow, those are some massive goosebumps i have, and i usually only get those when attending one of my favorite operas or plays, bravo for making me excited for a holiday that isnt for a few months :)

[DutchDrummerBoy4Him]

WOW....really amazing!!!! you have talent!

[Son0fHobs]

@DutchDrummerBoy4Him Absolutely!  Loved it! For some reason I really like the animation of the lyrics. Well done.

[Liantjuh555]

Cheering, ringing, good news, bringing.

BEST PART FROM THE MOVIE!!!! <333

[SpecialGirl678]

This is so good

Man I wish u were on my choir lol

Keep up the good work XD

[TheJoshinator1]

@0:44 Is your voice really that deep, or did you pitch-shift it down an octave and mix it with the original track?

[sephiroth3782]

@TheJoshinator1

It's an E, which is pretty low; I can just about growl it out =P

but I'm pretty sure that that's easy work for Vance

[BlakeBarable]

Finally! lol perfect pitch! that was awesome.....lol am I immature for thinkin every-time you sang DONG and the word appeared..I laughed a little.

[katscorner4everrr]

:D I LOVE THIS it made me smile :) I'm favoriting this video

[Liantjuh555]

Wow this is really powerfull, I like all of your movies !

[66gardener]

Magnificent singing and great job with the video as well.

I am assuming you participate as a member of a barbershop chorus as well?

[MarioPro65]

I like your cover best! It was in my head for over a month: "Listen to that soooooong!" a voice in my head said.

[insideoutbr]

How come this has 4 dislikes?????????????

[Hacim95]

This is really amazing! Cant imagine how hard and time consuming this must be! Great job. 4 people missed the like button Haha

[OuranRoseMelody]

The bass part is AMAZING

[Alexfurshur]

i use mixcraft as well!

what sort of effects do u use!

or do you just use vocals

[Soh962]

I want to totally do something like this but on my sax XD Maybe, you might have some tips for me to do this? Oor what to work on.

[CLAMPcast]

Wow. 0.0 Vance Perry, you're quite good! You can hit the high notes well! I'm so jealous!

[TheLestart]

this is the best a cappella version of Carol of the Bells

[cloakenhiemer]

Gah-lee man. Love it! -dk

[chipojo2008]

skills =D

[IncomingSanity]

I think three viewers accidentally missed the 'like' button. This was superb!

[anonymous668]

Dude this is so awesome, DIING DOOONGGG DIIINGG DOONGG heavy shit

[K20a3RSX]

Question: do you record the audio separately from the video? and even if not is it tough to align all the tracks?

[OuranRoseMelody]

Hello! I was wondering if I could get sheetmusic for this arrangement? Im thinking about starting an acapella group at my high school, so it would be greatly appreciated!

[sarahbgrace]

Your work is amazing! I abosolutely love it! Don't let the sideline critics bother you. You are a leaving a legacy of beautiful music for many to find in the years to come. Thankyou!

[netguider]

Fantastic... I'm learning so much.... this is just amazing.... wonderful... fabulous... what can I say???? It's just so incredible I'm at a loss for words... Amazing hardly covers it.... Love it my friend...

Randy

[HeisLord9876]

Wow, that is so beautiful! I know it's June, but that is worth listening to at any time of the year! Very awesome.

[xXGakutoSexNessXx]

I love the bass!

It's very rich and dark and fitting for this song especially.

Well done!

[vivaarnoldo]

Just awesome tambre.

Cheers mate.

[loverofall101290]

This is amazing i love it <3

[NerdLifeForLife]

My, oh my, was i impressed by this performance. Well done.

[karela19]

That is an intresting arrangement. I've never heard it before...but I like it.

[em0girl2]

haha i sang this for my choir last year. good singing!

[fezzamezza]

Absolutely amazing. Where did you get the arrangement of this song? Would love to try it myself

x

[vyode]

@darklordsexypants

dark, seems the piece was written as a 4 pc thing, man.

had a hard time finding it performed as such, but it's still the best way to hear this song.

[omardude39]

your voice is very suited to bass but you do all parts amazingly; the accidentals are stunning. Well done!!! :O

[Davidwov]

Where could I buy a CD of your songs?

[cashmerestaten]

dude amazing work i love it!

[tzsnick1]

Wow that is amazing! Awesome work man!

[alliekay900]

i was looking for some songs for the barbershop choir im in, and omg, we HAVE to get this one for our next christmas concert.

u sounded amazing btw

[Muizers]

Wow this is impossible O_o

Keep up the good work!!

~Martijn

[spybreakx]

alto needs a little work but man that was awesome!

[canbycougars3]

you should do like a beat boxing one. just givin some ideas

[niveksiwel]

i am speechless......i have watched almost all your videos and it is haunting how amazing you are! this is by far so far my favorite harmony wise it gives me goosebumps everytime i hear it!

[dabomb448]

Fantastic :)

[FineyLeee]

This video blew my mind! Really cool production!

Can I ask you a question though: How long does a video like this take you to put together, from singing the first note, to uploading the final result to YouTube?

After doing my two full-length songs (that are amateur videos compared to this), I know how time-requiring it can be.

[vanceperry]

Thanks Simon! I always appreciate your comments.

This one took some time. Probably 20-25 hours of recording/video editing. It probably took me less time. I was familiar with the song and actually already new the bass part so it took less time than if I hadn't known it at all. Glad you enjoyed. Take care, Buddy!

[FineyLeee]

Yeah I figured... Mine probably took around 15 hours each, but I obviously had significantly less video editing than you had. I wish I had the time to do more full-length songs. And I wish I had the time to learn to do videos like you and Josh! =)

Keep on singing dude! Hope to mee you some time soon!

[itshowmuch]

@vanceperry

wow!! what a compliment!!! a gracious comment from the one the BShop Multitrack kings.

David Wright is so so genius... congrats on a most excellent production

[jcjcjjcc]

sikk :D

[squeeeeeeenis]

Thank you. That Was very impressive,

[JxjairoxP11]

wow

[ChickenPludder]

@JxjairoxP11 fairly underestimated

[JuicyL0ve96]

Simply Stunning:)

[Tonyjava]

you are AMAZING !!!!

[CannonFodder1968]

Fantastic!

[MNCGR]

belmontaggio...5stelle

[eckojerry]

WoW I loved That!!!

[thomasomelli]

I just listened it for the 50 time. This hour. I keep pressing repeat.

[grhr69]

I LIKE IT

[radartwin]

Very nice Job, I would recommend pulling back the bass and baritone tracks about 1/2 db. it's a little over powering.

[vanceperry]

@radartwin Thank you. Are you listening in stereo? Bass and Baritone are panned slightly right. It sounds fine on my end and in Mixcraft (my audio editing software). Just wondering if anyone else is hearing this. Thanks again!

[cubeguy8675309]

on my headphones i hear but now my desktop speakers. weird

[EverydayRapunzel]

@vanceperry I'm listening to the HD video via headphones, and it sounds perfectly blended to me. :)

[miggy2021]

@vanceperry The bass and baritone parts are fine...

[punkrose79]

you frickin rock dude

[Stenjaki]

magnifico!...

[hayleyjayneee]

FAVORITE.

[icekohl92]

Amazing recording. How appropriate for the time being!

[SugarbabyLA]

i agree 120%!!! :D

[huginonairagain]

nice one. if you ask me (what obviously you didn't ;)) the higher parts do even fit you better than the lower parts (bass). but its great. subscribed.
