Hi everyone! I very much appreciate you all alerting me that this isn’t the final version of the video - it’s an honest mistake on my end. I’ve emailed Kathy and Geoff, offering to take the video down, and they said it’s totally fine, and that a comment letting everyone know the situation would be great. Much love!!!

One thing I love about this rendition is that it really shows off Geoff's range of vocal color and timbre (knew I'd find that word eventually), and not just his range in pitch (thought that is impressive as heck as well).

How does Geoff keep finding ways to give people chills? It's an ability he can't turn off, but I love that it can't be disabled.

I love Nightmare before Christmas, and this song always made me tear up, But Geoff Has made this song truly come to life and givin it a more melancholy feel.

Geoff said this was a challenge for his vocal as well as acting skills. And again, he totally nailed it! He's constantly working on his voice, and keeps getting better and better! Will never stop to amaze me. By showing the preview version you missed a couple of things. Most important, at the end you see snowflakes falling down (Christmas), and Jack looking up and stretching his hand out to them with a small smile, like a ray of hope for the future. Another thing is his ghost dog, Zero, showing up. Great reaction, thanks, Peter!

At this stage poi my, you, Jennifer, and Elizabeth are my top 3 reaction/analysis content creators. Great reaction!

This quickly became one of my favorites upon release. It’s very different from his usual brand, both aesthetically and arrangement-wise, and I think only having one Geoff on-screen as opposed to the usual four or five does wonders for the theme of the song. He has incredible control over all the chromaticism and key changes, and not only is his full range on display, but the low subs and high belts are incorporated fittingly into the arrangement. I also think he tailors the original song to his voice with enough respect to do Danny Elfman’s performance incredible justice Overall a beautifully balanced arrangement, and I haven’t been able to get enough of it

As always a great analysis Peter. I've been longing for you to check out a new artist for your channel, Tommy Johansson, a rock.tenor and fellow country man of mine. He is known mainly in the rock world for his guitar works but has also a great voice. I can mention that both Qofy, David K , Mortius among others are impressed by him. A great start is his cover of Steelhearts She's Gone , which showcases his range. He has also a version of Phantom of the Opera, where he sings both parts himself, the phantom as metal and ending on C6 for Christine. He has also done a duet with operasinger Kristin Starkey, a contra alto who is also experimenting with metal singing. Fairytale of New York. Anything Tommy does tend to turn into gold.

When is Voiceplay’s Little Mermaid Medley reaction coming?

I love watching you totally geek out over Geoff’s work! And I think this is one of his best-love the way he puts that scary edge in his voice at points and then totally takes the bite out, even in the super low notes, in other sections. Not only is this a master class in singing, but also in voice acting. It’s interesting that he’s still developing his lower range. Also, this is some of his best acting. It hit me watching this that Geoff is one of those actors who does his best work when he can use his whole body, as here. It was a style they taught when I was studying theater, but only a very brief section in the class (their main focus was “the method”), and most of us didn’t really get it. The more Geoff gets to move around, take up the whole stage, and employ great costumes and makeup, the better he gets. It’s like his characters really come to life for him when he can start with the outer elements and go all in. It’s an approach that really works for some actors, where others (most, I think) start with the character’s inner workings and develop the outer parts as they go.

Agreed! I think a lot of that is due to the ten years he spent at Universal playing Frankenstein's Monster. Frankie had to sing and dance and be all over the stage, larger than life.

Hi, That Method...It pokes its head up everywhere. That method was later amended by the great Stanislavski and made the characters much more "lifelike" in their interpretation. Well, at least in his later books about becoming a better actor. From my readings, and I've read all his books and those by his personal assistant ( I think that is the word in English). I can't remember his name at the moment, sorry. Unfortunately The American students had by then left to go back to America, because Stalin, so his later work didn't really take hold there. Stanislavski did work with opera by that time, which led me to read the source material e.i. his books, in translation. I was trying to learn how to show the audience what we're talking about on stage, when the language usually in either Italian German or French, and even more so when it came to the songs. You have a minute and a half or maybe up to three minutes (and that's a stretch), to convince them and getting them to understand the character. Good and useful reads, but a bit dustily dry in my opinion. It's probably been around 15 years since I read them though. I totally agree with you on the acting whilst singing. With all those voices of his, my oh my. Yours, Ann

@@annlidslot8212 I think I might still have the three books by Stanislavski that we had to read for our classes. They were great, but honestly the best and easiest acting book I ever read was Audition by Michael Shurtleff (casting director). It basically gives you the bullet points and a lot of practical ideas to get where you want to be quickly. Plus there are some fun stories, like the day Barbra Streisand auditioned for David Merrick (Broadway director) and left him thinking she was absolutely nuts.

I never knew what a basso profundo was until I found Geoff’s reaction videos. I’m obsessed with all basso profundo artists! You, Peter are amazing, your opera videos are so wonderful to watch and listen to! The bass gang is one of my favorite a cappella groups!

What impresses a lot ofpeople in this is how he leaps around the octaves so smoothlty. He has so much control. But he certainly gives the song so much pathos. It's quite beautiful, for a Halloween song.

I don't think he's using the Chest Fry as an "extension technique" like you would normally think. It seems more like part of his voice acting for the part.

I found you from watching Geoff. It was really interesting to hear your insight when you haven't heard the original. Can't wait to hear more of your thoughts. Also I need to check out your singing because even when you are just figuring out the notes you have a beautiful tone as well. Nightmare before Christmas is a favorite movie of mine so I was stoked when I heard Geoff sing it. This was my intro to Geoff as well. Childhood movie that that got me interested in stop motion animation, filmmaking, and voice acting. You should check it out if you haven't already. I know some don't enjoy the movie for a couple of reasons but when it came out in 1993 it was brilliant and opened up a lot different ideas of what kind of animation and filmmaking could be done.

I'm noticing that a lot of reactors are just discovering Geoff for the first time with this song. It's really bringing in a lot of new fans. It almost feels like when Oogie Boogie came out, and suddenly the world heard a subharmonic (many of us, for the first time ever). Geoff is simply so captivating with that smooth bass voice. Love your breakdown as always, and I recommend to anyone reading this, go watch the interview with Geoff. It's amazing. At the very least, you get to listen to the man talk for an hour, and that's enough to warm a cold heart.

Just like „oogi boogi „ „jacks lament“ is from the „nightmare bevor christmas „. Jack Skellington is lamenting the fact that he’s tiered of being the pumpkin king of Halloween town. He longs for change because everything always is „the same old thing“. Thank you so much for analyzing this fantastic version of this song. I’ve been dying to get you’re take on it.

"Oh my God! I'm offended." That had me dying! 😂 I really enjoyed learning about the chest fry thing! I've never noticed before that people that tend towards strong chest and subs didn't really use it. I knew Geoff never really did it and Tim does do it, for example, but I never put that together before. I always just accepted that Geoff likes to use subs and Tim prefers fry and growls. That's pretty cool to know that each technique might not come about by learning it as a choice so much as something that's just more natural to each person's voice. This song in the movie is very much spoken word/singing combo. When you know the song and how it was done originally, what Geoff pulled off here seems even more impressive. To me, at least. Awesome reaction, Peter! ❤ And Happy Halloween!! 🎃👻😈

Definitely one of Geoff 's best solo pieces. Awesome R&A, as always.

I think the only thing this music video is missing from the released one on KZread is Zero. The ghost dog. If you see that one you’ll see when he slaps his hand against his leg a see through ghost dog appears. It was green screened in.

I love The Nightmare before Christmas and I love Geoff's takes on great Halloween-themed songs. Jack's Lament is basically him knowing how great he is, everything he does and has done has been great, but he was yearning for something different. Geoff truly pulled out all the stops for this mesmerizing performance. He has so many layers to his voice. E1 subharmonic to a C5. That's just insane! I was waiting, albeit impatiently, for your reaction to this one. I knew the Vipers would make several appearances. Geoff is a vocal god.

Peter ! Would highly recommend his high and dry cover,he dips into a low vocal-fry !

Always love your reviews, especially Geoff's. I think it was a nice difference this time that you didn't know the original song.

Seriously, how do you get through Acaween without having seen Nightmare Before Christmas?

The music was written by the brilliant Danny Elfman. He wrote hundreds of TV & movie theme songs... from the Simpsons theme to Beetlejuice, Batman, etc. Tim Burton's has worked with Elfman in the past with his films. This song is by far my favorite from the movie.

Your interview with Geoff was really well done.

I have never seen Nightmare Before Christmas, so I gain all my knowledge from reactors and comments. Jack, the pumpkin king, has grown tired of scaring people. In the movie, he discovers Christmas Town (?) and the movie turned hopeful. Geoff wanted to include that hopeful feeling, but it didn't fit the song, so he included it in the outro with Jack discovering snow. I always enjoy your reactions and analysis. I wish you had allowed your subscribers and patrons to see the outro. I know it always helps the artist with the KZread algorithms. Looking forward to Jen's reaction, too.

In the final production there’s a little ghosty dog that floats in. I just found it cute when Geoff tapped his leg and in floats pup. At the end during the scroll we get to see a few behind the scenes things.

Great Reaction to a phenomenal Singer

Very famous movie, The Nightmare Before Christmas, focusses on realms dedicated to different holidays. Obviously, Jack, is the 'king' of Hallowe'en. He grows tired of doing the same old thing, and discovers Christmas and the rest is history. The whole movie is amazing and might as well be a musical. It's one of my all time favourite films and has been since I was a child. You should watch it, even just for the context.

Great reaction, but I’m a little disappointed that you didn’t wait and react to the finished version. Not only did you miss seeing Zero, but you missed the “hopeful” ending scene that Geoff felt was important to add. Geoff’s singing is amazing, but it’s more enjoyable to see and hear the entirety of his work.

Correction: The lowest note of that slide in the beginning is indeed an F1. Crazy, but it's there!

I don´t hear an F1. The slide actually ended somewhere around a held G1/G#1, being started at a Bb1 (maybe) confirmed by CasperFox with isolated vocals, demonstrated in RTP Bass video about Geoff´s vocal range on this song. Some other people had guessed an Eb1, but that was just overpowered by the piano.

"Not that kind of c-section" I about spit out my applesauce 😂

Ok since you said suggestions on comments: first off you should really watch the whole movie, Danny Elfman not only scored it but also sung the singing parts for Jack who is the protagonist . And the movie is practically a musical. Second, i would like to see reactors who are well versed in a capella and preferably practicing it react to Van Canto, they are a metal a capella group that only uses instrument percussion, they more or less scatt the guitar and bass lines and sing the vocals and there is behind the acenes footage online on how they do the guitar solos.

This is probably one of the only songs by Geoff I am in no way a bass singer, i can hit a low baritone if im relaxed enough, but i can almost completely sing this in Geoff's range in this song, minus the sub harmonics he hits. I know the Lyrics are part of the song but it fits Geoff so well. "There are few who deny, at what i do i am the best, for my talents are renowed far and wide" That should be Geoff's tag line :P he is just so incredible

Hi, I can't believe that you haven't seen Nightmare Before Christmas either, so I hoå you have by now. And Bother! Now I have go find your analysis of Oogie Boogie Man. I love that there are at least some low voices coming through in the "pop"music scene. (I thank Avi Kaplan for getting people aware.) Tenors and sopranos get all the glory and rapturous swooning (say the Mezzo with a descent range). But a bass, with a capital B, that is something that's so fabulous. There is such warm tibre here, even if if he also rip off your head and eat it, if that is what the music wants to taking him. The again, I love the love the lower voices, be they Basso Profundi or Contra- Alt. Those are so rare. At least where I come from. I'm leaning towards opera myself, if I think about music, but I also enjoy everything from Richard Strauss to metal with a growler (though how growlers don't end up with blisters in their voice box is beyond me).Good music is good music, in whatever, being it metal or opera. As an opera leaning me, I think that a voice like this would slay Sarastro. Well anything Kurt Moll did really. A voice like this... Mozart would be so happy. With that much warmth in the voice, he could take Sarastro to a different level, and astound the audience, I think. Yours, Ann

Man, Geoff and Bass Gang came into my life at such an interesting time. I have always loved singing. i was in Choir every chance I could get. Even did 2 Musicals in Highschool. I was always a tenor. Well over the lock downs. I got Covis twice and now get accute laryngitis every time I get sick. Hell I went 2 months the first time with no voice. Since recovering I have notice my vocal range, even my normal voice is deeper. To the point my mic sometimes wont pick me up. (Primarily because its cheap, however, my voice now doesnt help.) But thanks to Geoff and you and the rest of Bass Gang, I have a new comfy hole for my voice. Thank you!

Awesome insight as always

If you watch his tutorial series on how to sing REALLY low, you'll see that Geoff actually has a freakishly low vocal fry and a tremendous amount of control over it. Actually, better control than anyone I've ever heard aside from Tim Storms and Paul David Kennamer If I recall correctly, he first learned to work on that extended register in order to connect his chest voice to his head voice but ended up using it to improve his subharmonics register too. He even stated that he believed the lower someone can fry, the lower they can sing (i.e. the more control they have at the very bottom of their chest range). As if to prove his point, he recorded his first official non-sub, non-growl F#1 in Voiceplay's Superstition, less than a year after and it was a beautiful, clean chest-fry note ! Given how much flexibility he has demonstrated with these chest G1s and F#1s, I'd say that it clearly worked for him !

I think what Geoff means about "the lower you can vocal fry the lower you can sing" is that it's good practice for slacking your vocal cords, which is what you need to hit lower pitches. Geoff has mastered that ability, and can actually SING way down there now, in pure chest voice.

I was looking for Zero (the ghost dog), who makes an appearance in the final release of the video, but then recalled that you said this was the Patron preliminary version, so that explains why he was missing. Geoff also shows a few short BTS in his outro, including Kathy puppeteering for Zero in their kitchen against a green screen, so you might want to take a look at that just for grins!

I would have loved that song playing tonight! Great song.

Loved this !

Been watching you for a year and just realized that I wasn’t subscribed… I’ve fixed that! Your analysis of everyone is informative and inspiring. Great vid yet again little brother!!

Great insights, thank you 😊

Love it! Couldn't be more impressed

when geoff switches to the high part, thats the key of the original song

this oggie boogie and this is halloween are all from the same movie. its the nightmare before christmas by tim burton. every year i rewatch it and am reminded how good the soundtrack of that movie is. every song is a halloween banger

Olá sua reação foi incrível, queria pedir pra vc reagir ao gabriel henrique na canção l don't to Miss a thing, gabriel participou do América Got Talent e ganhou o golden buzzer, o Butão dourado da Sofia Vergara, vc vai si surpreender com o talento do Gabriel henrique ❤❤saudações do Brasil 🇧🇷

If I didn't know better, I'd think the switch to Geoff's super light higher end and back meant that there was a second person who just got like a very short bit. 😆

"It's very much speech-like..". It was also like that in the original version.

I believe this is far better than the original 😮

Nice reaction. There are a few people that react to the Patreon versions of VP and Geoff. As long as you tell people and realise they do change things before release then it’s all good as long as the artist is cool with it. The song is 2 sides of the pumpkin king. He is Halloween and lord of scare but has done it for so long he wants to know what else there is. This is just before he discovers Christmas town and the complete opposite of all he’s used to. The VP version of what’s this is the next one to watch. Where he’s amazed at what he sees.

Finally i was waiting for this.

Gosto muito de suas reações. Amei quando reagiu a Gabriel Henrique. Gostaria de vê-lo reagindo a ele novamente. Ele tem vídeos novos em seu canal incluindo I don't want to miss a thing de Aeroesmith e Earth song de Michael Jackson.. Fora vários outros vídeos incríveis.

It was almost more fun that you weren't familiar with the song. Jack Skellington is kinda an all over the place guy and the song eventually shows that. 😊 Love Geoff's interpretation!

Another Bass you need to interview Larry Strickland, Naomi Judd’s Widower

I had no Chest fry, it took about 2 Month to get it and it still is out of control and very random. it sounds like a really quiet Chest Note until about a B1 below that you can hear the cracking getting exponentally stronger. I don´t know how much more is possible, the problem is people like Paul David Kennamer probably used bass boost or sang just really quiet we can´t say for sure

Geoff has mentioned he's a very quiet singer. I wonder if "chest fry with power" is the binary and quiet chest fry is learnable.

Correction at 4:03 it’s an F#1 in chest voice and he also hits another F#1 and E1 sub

Bro, your absolutely amazing and totally enjoying your breakdowns. How have you not had any requests to review Chris Cornell? Like his rendition of Nothing Compares To You?
