One man freaking band this guy is! This video and performance was amazing! Thank you to everyone who recommended it to us. Geoff is a master of his craft. We look forward to many more performances from him. Be sure to support him directly by subscribing to his Official KZread channel here - kzread.info/dron/7_WJFnWUOrBs3aN-aoOnqA.html Let us know what reaction you want to see from us next below. Have a wonderful day, and we will see you all on the next one friends

Arranged, produced, filmed, performed, and edited by Geoff Castellucci. So much talent he does it all. Keep an eye out. He has something new coming out for Halloween.

For the pure theater of him singing with himself - Way Down is the BEST. His alter egos in that one actually are reacting to each other comedically - and if there's anything harder than doing multiple tracks and reacting to yourself - it's pulling off comedy while you're doing it. He's totally a pro.

He has a ton of great videos, Shenandoah is absolutely beautiful. He has several for Halloween and Christmas as well. Check them out. Geoff is the best in the biz! Great reaction, just subscribed!

Thank you so much friend! 💚💜

My favorite thing is watching reactors hear Geoff or Voiceplay for the first time, so glad you got on this so quickly. I had never seen the show, read the book, or heard the song before I watched Geoff do this. Didn't matter, because he is so, so talented. He has a new one coming in time for Halloween, not sure when exactly. But it will be great, guaranteed. His Headless Horseman and Monster Mash are both fun for the holiday too. When it gets close to Christmas, be sure to react to his God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen. Trust me!

Holy low frequencies! You two keep showing new cool things. Your reactions were like mine, WOW. Keep doing what your doing, all smiles here. Good day and thanks

This wasn't even all that low for Geoff, to be honest. He has a 5 octave range -- extending from A0 (lowest note on a grand piano) to A5 (the highest note most mezzo-soprano women can hit).

This remains my favorite of all of his solo works. He also does the instrumentation on these. He plays it on a keyboard and then uses programs that mimic other instruments. He is indeed a one-man band. As a patron, I got to see the behind the scenes. He started out of course by recording everything vocally. Then came in as himself and acted out that portion. They used a stationary camera and the only crew was his wife and the make up artist. His wife Kathy operated the camera. Then he came in with his second person which I believe was either Fili or Kili. Sat in that chair and they filmed again with the rest of the chairs vacant without moving any chairs or the camera. They repeated the process as they went until they got to Thorin Oakenshield and he did his part. Watching the transformations was fascinating. Up until the last few videos it has always been a stationary camera with only his wife as production crew unless it required special make up. It’s pretty phenomenal how he can react to himself, I believe he probably gets some vocal coaching from Kathy that one character or another is looking his way to so that he can react. But that’s pure speculation on my part. In the others he does not have as much make up except for his Halloween offerings. So it’s like watching quadruplets or quintuplets performing together because they all look the same. I love that you appreciated the brilliance of this. And I also love that you love the Tolkien series. A totally different side of him is his cover of Elvis’s Way Down. The clones get a smaller part but are immensely entertaining. The name tags they were all represent different ways that people have misspelled or mispronounced his name. When watching his videos put on closed captioning because sometimes there’s funny little remarks that he likes to put in there. That goes for VoicePlay’s videos as well. And always always always wait until the Patreon roll begins before you stop because sometimes there’s a surprise little epilogue. He’s coming out with his Halloween offering soon. I have no idea what it is except that he looks really creepy. But his other two are just a lot of fun. He did the Monster Mash and he also did the Headless Horseman from a 1950s era Disney movie called the legend of sleepy hollow. Headless Horseman was done in his parents living room. These guys have to do it all themselves because they don’t have a record label. And they are very adept at making something out of nothing. Sorry for the long comment but I’m always so thrilled to find somebody else who enjoys and appreciates the work that these guys do.

As someone who does everything themselves, to hear all of this is shocking. I have no idea how he does it all.

This is my favorite performance by Geoff. The song is perfect for him and his amazing artistry in producing this gem sets it apart from almost all artists. As usual, your reactions were really fun to watch.

" It made my ears and nose itch!" 😂😂😂 I haven't heard anyone else say that! Cracked me up! Halloween is coming up so Geoff's versions of. " The Headless Horseman " and. " Monster Mash " are musts! Loved your reactions and don't be concerned about Jess's reaction to the low notes Mike. Just about every woman I've seen react to Geoff have the same reaction! Elizabeth Zharoff. ( The Charasmatic Voice ) has the most wonderful reactions to Geoff's subharmonics. Have a blessed day!

I am concerned Dave, how could you tell lol. Them low humming always gets my nose itching. 😂

Geoff and Voiceplay do some amazing things. What with Christmas approaching good ones to watch is "Oogie Boogie Man" and the "Hall of the Mountain King(which is brilliant). Voice Play and Home Free are good friends and often collaborate on arrangements, for instance Geoff arranged the Home Free/Oak Ridge Boys classic "Elvira". Peter Hollens(a master in the A capella world) and Tim Foust from Home Free also do an amazing rendition of " Misty Mountains" that's worth listening to.

I love watching when reactors hear Geoff hit his deep notes and they get their "OH" Face 😉

Recently found and subscribed to your channel - great reaction! As for Geoff…I see the Elvis “poster” in your video background, and Geoff has a hilarious cover of Way Down.

Great reaction! When doing a Geoff solo video, keep the captions on. He sometimes hids small jokes in them, especially before low notes.

I highly recommend watching Geoff's version of Sixteen Tons.

Great reaction! Geoff is amazing! Another version of this song that you should check out is by Peter Hollens and Tim Foust (from Home Free). It's strictly a capella, and even though it's just the two of them, they made it sound like an entire choir. Also, to add to my earlier Halloween recommendations, Geoff did a great "solo" cover of "The Headless Horseman".

With Halloween coming you might wish to check out his version of ‘Monster Mash’, it’s a hoot and a half. Also, to take a left turn his ‘Shenandoah’ is just plain beautiful, his voice is like honey butter…a velvet fog.. love you reactions keep doing what your doing.😊 Stay safe and stay well.. 😎✌🏻🤟🏻🖖🏻🤙🏻

Geoff is a brilliant showman that knows his stuff, play Monster Mash it will crack you up

If you haven't reacted to his cover of Blackbird, that may be one to try.

Tim Foust of Home Free and Peter Hollens did an excellent cover of this song as well.

Hauntingly beautiful

As always, love your reaction and welcome to the Geoff Castalucci show. I think you might really like his cover of Ain't No Sunshine by Bill Withers. Really shoes off his 5 octave range. It also has multiple Geoffs.

He also does a really awsome job with the Monster Mash

There are a bunch of songs by Geoff that you need to check out! Ain't No Sunshine, Blackbird, 16 Tons and House of the Rising Sun should be at the top of the list.

Really enjoyed your reaction. I love the song too, even if I do not love the movie as much... I'm not a big fan of making movies out of such books as the Lord of the Rings or The Hobbit, the books make your imagination trip and the imagery that results just can't be put in a movie. 🙂 About singing low... In Geoff's channel there is at least one tutorial-like video where he explains - teaches his techniques, you should give a look at it, it's worth the while. You can understand how much work, and dedication, and training, and technique there is behind his voice and his incredible performances. 🙂 About possible more videos from his channel to react to, I'd suggest Shenandoah, or Ain't no sunshine, before we get fully into Halloween season 😁.

Loved the reaction!!!! All of his solo stuff is awesome. You need to check out Austin Brown's (Home Free) KZread channel his is also good. Hope to see some of Austin's stuff.

Great reaction! I know you love Home Free! You HAVE to watch Austin & Rob sing NESSUN DORMA!!! SHOCKING!!!!

Now you need to react to Peter Hollens and Tim Foust's (from Home Free) version: Misty Mountains - Peter Hollens feat. Tim Foust.

To hear his full range, check out High and Dry or Blackbird!

I was able to watch a BTS on Geoff's latest, The Rains of Castemere, where he also has multiple Geoff's on camera at a time. There's no one else where he's looking, he's just acting like there is. Then he does the other part, and has the video replay so he knows when to respond to the first character. All of the people in VoicePlay are quite good just as actors, in addition to their singing. The thing about this song is that Geoff spends almost the entire song as the main singer in his lower register, but the 3 Geoff-tones in the background hit some pretty high notes in their harmonies. If you want to hear Geoff imitate a Viking battle horn, watch VoicePlay's My Mother Told Me - he will knock your socks off!

We will add that to our list friend! We have enjoyed seeing everything Geoff does! 💜

Fun fact the violin part was played by Layne Stein the vocal percussionist from VoicePlay

I didn't see a BTS video for this one, but on other videos, he doesn't use stand-ins to interact with. He just maps it all out with his wife, Kathy, and then they roll. And he calls that last note his dragon breath.

Peter hollens and Tim foust (from home free) also do an amazing version of this song

I’ve often wondered the same thing about having someone else to make eye contact with rather than just looking in that direction.

22:24 Hi Guys 👋 I just discovered Geoff Castelucci and Tim Foust today, and I can’t stop thinking that the two of them researched and even studied a little Tibetan Throat Singing. These technique not only produces these deep gutural sounds but throat singers cam produce two notes simultaneously, one very high and the other very low. Check ou Bukhu Gamburged song titled Mother and Father

You guys should check out his cover of "High and Dry." It's one of his earlier works but it's one of favorites from him. He gets really high in that one.

I am anxious to see this cover! Thank you friend!💜

Just to experience his range and talent, try Geoff's cover of the Beatles Blackbird! For pure fun try his cover of Elvis Presley's Way Down!

A great one for October: VoicePlay's In The Hall of the Mountain King Tremendous fun.

As i understand it, ALL the vocals are recorded, ,mixed, edited first,......then comes the video production process. Sounds are mixed perfectly before video......>^^

5:04 a literal DROP

Geoff does not always stick to a cappella for his own works on his channel.

If you want to hear how high he can get, check out his cover of Blackbird by The Beatles.

All that you said and this man has a range of 5 octaves - from the bottom note on a piano, A0, to the A5 above the treble clef. Have you heard him do an Elvis cover of Way Down? It's fun. By the way, Geoff has some videos on how to sing really low. How to do the subharmonics which he does better than anyone. With Halloween coming quickly: VoicePlay has a large selection of Halloween theme songs: Oogie Boogie Song, This is Halloween, Kidnap the Sandy Claws, Grim Grinning Ghosts, Friends on the Other Side, Superstition, Halloween Singers Go Psycho (wait for it), Phantom of the Opera, Queen in 5 Minutes, Once Upon a Dream, a trilogy: Trapped a Billie Eilish song followed by Panic at the Disco Parts 1 and 2. A combination Survivors: Zombies vs Hillbillies (VP and HF), Geoff solos, The Monster Mash, and The Headless Horseman. VoicePlay's newest offering is "In The Hall Of The Mountain King" full costume and staging, no words just amazing singing of a Edward Grieg symphony of "The Peer Gynt Suite". Peer Gynt came across the mountain trolls, King wanted him to become a troll himself and marry his daughter. Peer Gynt ran as fast as his legs could carry him. VP's version is definitely trollish but they singers are mixing up a concoction in a cauldron. Superb.

His version of 16 Tons is a must watch.

The low notes were G1s, which is the lowest G on a piano. He demonstrated three different techniques of hitting them.

Thank you for another great reaction to Voice Play. Please do a reaction video of Geoff Castellucci's solo cover of Shenandoah. He harmonies with himself 4 times over. The way he sang it soothes your soul.

Now time to listen to Avi Kaplan Change on the Rise. Avi was part of PTX

My younger sister has it bad for Geoff. She is a total sucker for a deep voice and my Neice knows it and often giggles when he is singing, and she is reacting. When this song first came out My evil little niece could not help but put it on. Of cores my sister rolled her eyes at the first deep note prompting my niece to make her unseal giggle then out of nowhere she says Mom your underwear just hit the floor, you should see to that. My poor Brother-in-law spit his drink out all over and was laughing like a fool, those two where on KP duty that night and My sister was giving a Dang good impression of Gunnery Sergeant R. Lee Ermey. As the only innocent on in the house that night I suffered from Spontaneous laughter for a year after. Don't hold it in, just a cautionary tail.

Honestly you can't go wrong with any of Geoff's videos. You want Christmas? He's got you. You want Halloween? He's got you. You want Elvis? He's got you

This is definitely from “The Hobbit.” I don’t know who did the music, but the words are from JRR Tolkien himself.

have you heard Gabriel Henrique? Brazilian singer with an incredible ability to sing the most difficult songs. I suggest listening to Stand Up - Gabriel Henrique (Cover)

Geoff has a new one coming out this morning! So this was a fun reaction. And if you want to see the process, Marwan Ayman does short videos of a capella buildups. I’m actually not 100% convinced it’s done in the order shown (he saves the lead for last so you can’t hear it all until the end, and I’m betting it usually goes the other way around, but…). kzread.info/dash/bejne/oHqGrseneJvJkpc.html. Marwan is 18 (might be 19 by now) and lives in Egypt. He’s part of The Bass Gang, but his solo covers are terrific. Thanks for checking this out!
