Geoff is quite the experience. I've only once in my life come close to feeling what went through me the first time I heard Geoff's voice. He's so very gifted; not only is his range around 5 octaves, but the richness and resonance that he maintains throughout that range is what makes his voice so remarkable. Of course, add in his skill and creativity at musical arrangement (because he arranges his own pieces, as well as about half for the a cappella group he sings with, VoicePlay), and videography (he does that too)... he's just the total package. As is VoicePlay, honestly; they are a group of guys who are just a titanically skilled as Geoff, and this is the best, most fun rabbit hole you'll ever find to run down. Especially at this time of year- VoicePlay tends toward the theatrical, and they make the most of Halloween in their performances. They've done some great covers of music from Tim Burton's Nightmare Before Christmas (with Oogie Boogie's Song being a standout, and also featuring Geoff as the titular character).

Yes, Geoff's resonance and range is what sets him apart. I have a similar range to Geoff, but cannot come close to matching his resonance or ability. I have heard him live without studio tricks, and he is just as good as it appears recorded.

I have no idea what you are talking about but I agreee

Yes he has that effect on people. And not just females. :) Geoff is the bass in the acapella group VoicePlay. He started to make solo videos during lockdown I think. His latest is Monster Mash, made for Halloween,. He dances in that one too! It shows his fun side.

Sounds like we have another one falling down the VoicePlay / Geoff Castellucci rabbit hole. Welcome, please buckle your seat belt and put your tray in the upright position. You are in for an amazing ride.

Welcome to the bass experience known as Geoff! He's a lot to get used to and his bass drops will shock you on a regular basis. That last note is straight from Helm's Deep. Geoff is amazing as a solo artist, but VoicePlay is a must--a cappella at it's finest. I suggest Hoist the Colours and the Halo theme from VP for the WOW factor and Carry On My Wayward Son for the rock sound. In Halo he breaks his low note record with a B0! Blackbird and High and Dry done as solos will give you all of Geoff's incredible 5 octave range.

His cover of House of the Rising Sun is ncredible, as well as his cover of the Beatles Blackbird.

I am a low(ish) bass voice and singer... who was shook the first time I heard Geoff.

Everything Geoff does, Everything VoicePlay does is amazing. You will love them.

Geoff is the man! He is incredible and you won’t be disappointed at any of his songs or his a cappella group voiceplay! They are also amazing! Great reaction!

All of Geoff's solo work is worth checking out. Being near Halloween, you might want to check out Voice Play's performance of "The Oogie Boogie Song" from "Nightmare Before Christmas", then check out all the others.

Great reaction,,you might like the group he is in Voiceplay they do very very good covers,,ya cant go wrong : )

@@TauriReacts Geoff Castallucci just released a new cover song 6-9-2023 called I See Fire. It's a continuation of this song from the 2' nd Hobbit movie. He is dressed the same way as this one.

The first time I heard this it took me back. It took me WAAAY back. My dad used to read The Hobbit to me. We’d finish it and start it over again. This is exactly how I would imagine Thorin sounding, traveling through the caverns, with the other dwarves holding the harmony in the background. This is the version that SHOULD have been in the movie.

I always love watching people be shocked by Geoff, but "actually crying" is my favorite reaction because that's how I feel listening to him

Oh my God! What a voice is that! He can keep his voice at a steady low pace. How brilliant! And seeing his surprise at this presentation really moved you! Man, I hadn't heard it yet, except tenor! Very cool! Thanks Tauri! 🌷

Listen to take me home country roads, Blackbird, 16 Tons as well as Oogie Boogie Song.

Loved your reaction, it's fun to see someone get caught up in the Geoff Castellucci net! His solo House of the Rising Sun came out just before this one, it is outstanding. Voiceplay (you have to go there) is also phenomenal. Hoist the Colours from Pirates of the Carrribean 3 will blow you out of the water. I believe they are set to drop another Halloween piece in a week or so.

I reacted exactly the same way you did when you heard this, and I didn't have the excuse of never having heard Geoff before. A combo of it being the most beautiful song from The Hobbit (I'm a diehard Tolkien fan), the gorgeous bass hums, the arrangement, the strings... It all made me tear up the first couple of times I listened. Also, nerd note: the lyrics don't match the movie version exactly - he mixed verses from the two versions of the song that appear in both The Hobbit and The Fellowship of the Ring. I think Geoff's a big Tolkien fan himself 😊As for suggestions, I don't think you could go wrong with any of his - Monster Mash just came out for Halloween and is super fun (very different tone from this one), 16 Tons is just incredible, Blackbird shows his full range and is beautiful.

The full song as written in the books can be found online. It's very long so I think people have picked out a few verses that they wanted to do.

On his solo songs, he often accompanies himself. His covers of 16 Tons and Blackbird are among my favorites. He is bass (as well as arranging about half of their productions) for Voice Play. Since is is October, check out The Oogie Boogie Song to see a sample of his range. But then be sure to check out their version of the Norse saga My Mother Told Me as well as the theme from Pirates of the Caribbean 3, Hoist the Colours. They are worthy of a notice. I hope your husband appreciated it!

*I'm a grown MAN. I cry every time I hear this rendition. Just natural.😭*

not to worry... Geoff has that effect on a lot of men :) hell, even straight men are in love with him because he's got such a remarkable voice

Voiceplay's cover of Oogie Boogie song is a good one to see Geoff's vocal range. Plus they are all dressed like the characters in Nightmare before Christmas. VOCTAVE is an 11 member acapella group

Yes! Spread the word about Geoff Castellucci and Voiceplay too! They are incredible! Thank you for reacting to this video.

Geoff is the only person I've ever seen that can man or woman make you feel things in "places" with his voice and his hair and that gaze. You know for a fact he knows exactly what he's doing to you, and he's doing it on purpose because that's what gets him off.

Your beautiful eyes spoke volumes !

Yaaayyyyy!!! My favourite reacting to one of my favourites! 🖤🖤

LOL, Tauri - how long it took before your knees felt strong enough for you to get up that chair? 😉👢

He is one of the most versatile singers i've ever listened to. My favourite would have to be his version of Blackbird - not only showing off his insane range but just the most beautiful arrangement of that song.

geoff has caused another reactor to malfunction......lol great job on the reaction!!!

In my opinion this might be Geoff's masterpiece, mainly because i feel like the song was written for him to sing it. His voice fits perfectly. It has the seriousness that goes well, if not perfectly well, with his voice. Other things he's done are great too, don't get me wrong, but this one is a league of it's own, even for Geoff's standards.

16 tons next :)

Yep Geoff is an Amazing Bass Vocalist!! Him and Tim Foust of Homefree both have the most amazing ranges I've seen from true Bass singers. Glad you enjoyed it. If you do any more of Geoff, Voice play (the group Geoffs in), or Homefree I will definitely see you again!!

Greetings "Tauri"!!...I've just discovered your channel and very much enjoyed your reaction to this incredible rendition of "Far over the Misty mountains cold" by the one and only.......Geoff Castellucci! I consider him one of the finest and purest base (bass) singers in existance!! Whats more, he seems to have a lot of fun doing these vids as well!! I agree with your thoughts on his hauntingly wonderful rendition of this timeless classic and very much enjoyed your thoughts and observations! You've made an instant fan of yours from now on lol!! Keep them coming please!! p.s....hope u don't mind me saying so (since i'm almost old enough to be your grandpa and you and i are both married..!!)... but.....you have a very beautiful and expressive face..accentuated by very beautiful expressive eyes! Take care young lady and God Bless!

Keep being beautiful and amazing

Thanks for the video. I enjoyed it.

Geoff just dropped his annual Halloween song a couple of days ago, and it's wonderful vocally and so funny - Monster Mash. When you listen to VP's Halo Theme, be sure to listen to the words at the end. It shows a lot about who they are as people in their community. (And you'll find that every single member of VoicePlay has extraordinary talent. They are all truly amazing)

You should react to Misty Mountains - Peter Hollens feat. Tim Foust.

tauri was the name humans were given in the stargate franchise tv series

You should also check out his vocal group VoicePlay

congratulations you have just been Geoffed! check out his other stuff and Voiceplay it’s quite the journey you’re about to embark on

Geoff c is a 5 octave God I rec headless horseman deep cover also he the bass for the group voice play and you need to witness songs like hoist the colors or my mother told me. A Viking hymn most of all oogie boogie from nightmare before Christmas Geoff leads I loved your reaction so I subscribed and bellied see you again then

when you cries...there's beautiful warming heart of yours...)

Peter Hollins and Tim Foust (the bass from Home Free) did a cover of this song as well. Peter also covered Amazing Grace with Home Free.

I found my new overall favorite song of any genre

U can also listen to his a cappella with himself, " 16 tons" it is out of this world.

Geoff also does headless horseman you will melt

I am a fan of VoicePlay and Geoff of course, so YES, PLEASE react to whatever you can find of theirs and his! He has his own channel (obviously, because that is the channel you found this on) but VoicePlay is amazing too!

His bass is heavenly. This man also has a crazy range. I'm glad I came across his solo stuff a few weeks back. As much as I enjoy Voiceplay, I'm really drawn to Geoff's low bass. We don't hear enough of those gorgeous deep voices in music, honestly. I've been obsessed with his cover of Monster Mash that dropped a few days ago, haha! Love his arrangements and the effort that goes into each and everyone of his videos. Ah, a fellow Tolkien fan! I had wondered if your KZread name had anything to do with Tauriel. My own internet name is Tolkien nerd stuff, haha! Had it since I was 14, I think?

Cheers Tauri, I've been away due to health issues, it's been lovely to watch one of your videos, I'm a big Tolkien and Geoff out of voice play fan, so that Really hit the spot., keep rocking, from the old brummie rocker.

Definitely check out more of his work...both with the group Voiceplay and individually. He most recently published a cover of the song Monster Mash that is completely astounding and so much fun.

Note! Lady your blue dress really makes your eyes POP. I am new to Geoff. He is the best bass I have heard in decades. His vocal range is amazing. Stunning is the perfect word for this man and his skill set. So impressive! Also this arrangement is very good. The best, best... He sings Country Roads. I am from West Virginia so that song touches my heart. Give it a listen. You will be speechless.

Amazing react.

The best song to see his full range is Blackbird. That is the only one i can think of that highlights his range.

Great reaction... Yes... More Geoff!!! Bring your hubby on!!!

You should check out Voiceplay which has Geoff as its bass

Blackbird is amazing!

Greetings Tauri:....Happy Easter and...i would LOVE for you to react to Geoff Castellucci's latest song...a rendition of the song "AINT NO SUNSHINE".........orginally sung by Bill Whithers! (think that is how his last name was spelled. Take care!

If you really like JRR Tolkien's poems put to music, you might try Durin's Song by Clamavi De Profundis for Non-Metal Monday, it is beautiful! The song is about Durin, one of the seven fathers of the Dwarves from the First age of Middle Earth

Geoff... Monster Mash just recently released, very impressive!

Thank you for such a delightful reaction.

Miss u" alip ba ta reaction, 👌

You must watch Geoff in Headless Horseman and Monster Mash for Halloween season!

Tauri, you're beautiful. My first time seeing your reaction, love it.

Now you have to listen to Peter Hollens and Tim Foust's Misty Mountains version.

For some seasonal fun, check Geoff's cover of Monster Mash.

Please react to hhs version of Blackbird. It is my favourite track by him 🥰

If you like the TV series Vikings, you should check out VoicePlay's version of My Mother Told Me.

Tolkien's poem have 11 verses and just some where used in the song

6:25 to 6:34 has me dang near breaking down. Reminds me of many of the men and women of my generation who left "hearth and hall" on foreign adventures never to return. I am a Navy veteran, and I'm basically in tears right now. I've been Geoff'ed.

that bass just tickles yr ovaries

Yes, Geoff is amazing for sure. Check him out with his acapella group Voiceplay as they are simply amazing. Their new one, Hoist the Colours is a must watch! Hope to see more of this!

Loved your reaction! SIxteen Tons was my 'Oh my goodness Geoff!!!' video, so you'll have a great time if you react to that. Blackbird is my favorite Geoff song... so pretty! I'm really looking forward to your next reaction, thanks for this!

Jeff singing the Beatles version of Blackbird, please.

Do the MONSTER MASH !

If you are going to checkout Voiceplay I suggest the Little Mermaid Medley. Although with Geoff or Voiceplay you cannot pick a bad song. The level of talent is beyond belief.

Being a JRR Tolkien nut, this is just amazing in so many ways. So is this reaction, tbh.

They have the Halo theme with his group VoicePlay.

I would suggest his Blackbird and High and Dry for equally beautiful performances. But maybe don't watch these back to back.

Your intro scared the life out of me🥲🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Loved your genuine reaction to Geoff. So many ‘reaction’ channels seem more interested in outrageous reaction displays than actually caring about the music. The quiet look of disbelief you had when Geoff started going really low was wonderful. This is the first video I’ve seen of yours but I hope you do (or already have) reacted to others by Geoff or by VoicePlay, where he’s a founding member. Oogie Boogie’s Song, Hoist the Colours, The Monster Mash, and the Halo theme song are all good choices.

Geoff also takes the lead in the acapella group Voiceplay's version of Oogie Boogie Man. It's worth watching as it really does show off his range. Voiceplay are REAL performers. Costume, set, lighting and make-up to make a whole production and not just a group of guys standing around singing. All of the singers also get right into character.

His vocal range is incredible

Balrog: **hears Dwarven singing above* "How many times to I have to teach these guys a lesson?" Geoff: **hits super low notes causing all of Moria to vibrate* Also Balrog: "Nope! Not messing with THAT guy. Wake me up in another 1,000 years."

As I said on another reactors channel, if I had a man crush this would be it

That's some HUMAN metal right there. Many fine low note landers roam the earth in this age. You'll find them.

Wen they say "Low Bass Cover", they mean LOW BASS COVER!

Hope you react to Geoff's cover of 'I See Fire' at some point :)

BTW, all the men are Geoff. He's that good.

Geoff is inhuman. his range and flexibility in that range is amazing. you should do reactions to his group voiceplay. one of the their newest ones the halo theme song is insane. he hits a b0 2 times

When you started out by commenting that "base cover... so we will see how it is"... I knew you hadn't experienced him before. Welcome to the Geoff club. I'm actually very happy you started with this one because you will get to experience as he is gotten even stronger since then. Last year during the lockdowns he started to doing these independent musics separate from his work with Voiceplay... I'm hitting full notifications because I cannot wait to see your reaction to some of his newer works where he demonstrates his range and even continues to work to extend it. Where in spooky season so I would say look up Headless Horseman from last year and compare it to his new Monster Mash that he released this week. He has been singing for over 20 years and he knows exactly what he is doing.

React to Geoff Castellucci's cover of the headless horseman

Check out "16 tons" by Geoff

Everybody is surprised at a first sight because in these modern times we've all forgotten the tones coming from the middle age. Similarly one can find such tones in this old French knight-templars song "Salve Regina" : kzread.info/dash/bejne/rKOYqs6tm8qxYdo.html From France with love

You really need to check out his song “16 Tons” and “The Headless Horseman”, they will blow your mind.

Geoff also does solo work I rec headless horseman you will wiggle from base

gorgeous you are

You are a beautiful woman

It is so unique especially because you rarely hear bass voices and specifically bass vocalists that are actually willing to fully explore those lower notes which they can reach. They are rare like contraltos such as Diana. And there is not much music written for bass vocalists as far as I know. Notice how think his neck is in comparison to those other three guys. There is so much resonance. I am trying a bit to convince Tank to react to Nemophila´s new single Revive which is coming out on 13th October.

If you need to review Geoff more, look for 'The Ooogie Boogie Song' by VoicePlay. Geoff is the lead, the entire production is superb, and he hits an E1 that could reduce your headphones to Jelly. You and your reviews are a refined delight. We look forward to many more.

I forgot to add , he did a Halliween song called : the headless horseman" . It is great
