Secrets of Subharmonics and Overtones REVEALED! Vocal Analysis of Bass Singer: Geoff Castellucci
Ойын-сауық
In this video, I react to bass legend Geoff Castellucci (x4) performing his Low Bass Singer cover of "Far Over The Misty Mountains Cold" from The Hobbit. I analyse his earth shattering performance, explain and demonstrate his vocal techniques and ultimately tell you what I think made it so great. I simply cannot get enough of this VoicePlay superhero. It was SO much fun analysing his voice with VoceVista for even deeper voicey nerdery.
Watch the original video without me banging on: • FAR OVER THE MISTY MOU...

When Geoff sings low, the ladies answer the call.

Ditto!
Ah, would have wished this to be "I see fire" instead, which is the same "Dwarves" but a couple of years of vocal development and production quality increases later. Its awesome. I mean, this one is awesome too, and arguably a song I like more ... but "I see fire" is even better than that.

The song she went with is more famous and recognizable. The other one is for afficionadoes who can appreciate the finer points. A great choice for a follow up.
Seeing nerds, nerds out make my own inner nerd nerd out. Its makes me a happy nerd.
Very interesting. He has recorded B0 twice (Halo and Valhalla Calling with Voiceplay). What makes Geoff unique to me is the beautiful timbre of his voice - very pleasant to listen to. Thank you for doing this! Hope there is more Geoff and/or VP soon 😉🌹🕊.

You wouldn't think the best could get even better, but she did! Every video is a delight
Loved all the vocal layers from you and Geoff! Thanks again for your analysis!
So if this song did this much effect on you, you've got to do Jeff "i see fire" cover, it is his best one, and became one of my favorite and most emotional song ever. And an amazing display of his range, emotions, harmonies, arrangements.

Fascinating to watch you melt down while listening to Geoff. Thank you for explaining how Geoff creates these sounds which are uniquely his.
Hi, I would love to see you analyze VoicePlay again. I think I would choose The Little Mermaid Medley! Or Wicked Medley. Or Hoist the Colours. Please 🙏🏻

His new mini of trust in me from Disney’s jungle book is pure ASMR to me. It’s all very low tones and that breathy lion purr sound. It usually knocks me out within 15 minutes and I’m an insomniac. This used to be the one I would use to go to sleep to because it’s so soothing and gentle in a very very deep voice kind of way. Depending on how restless I am I listen to one of those two or a playlist that I have that has some of his really soothing deep sounds without a lot of high notes. Another good one is I put a spell on you, another mini.
👹👹👹🎼 .. I have been waiting for this reaction for some time Lolli. It has been destined to happen , and you were destined to amaze us. The many expressions in your eyes were so real , and so invested. You don't hold back... you really allow the music and exceptional vocals to get under skin. Thanks for making my day. Geoff slays this .. I have watched it many times, and I still get goosebumps. Awesome !!!!!!!!!!🎼🎼👹👹👹
I love when people can't help but smile because it hits so good.
It's going to totally, absolutely blow your mind when you view Geoff's "I see Fire". Remember: hydrate.

@techauthor324 I'm a bit surprised. How did you think it would be? I did 'hear' it as a dirge in my mind, being about a 'long-forgotten home'.
Love to listen to Geoff, but you had me at "visible biceps". That remark was a singularity, thanks!
I'm not sure what is more impressive Geoff's low sub harmonics or the time Lolli spends to make and edit a video about them.
This is actually the video that introduced me to Geoff Castellucci, which, in turn, led me to later discover VoicePlay
"Luscious low bodacious bass." You nailed it.
I've listened to this performance by "Laryngeal Legend" Geoff so many times. I've also listened to a fair number of analyses and still/always you bring something new to notice and learn. TY! I'm pretty sure I could listen to Geoff sing this on loop for the rest of my life. 😅❤🔥❤🔥❤🔥
Well, now that you've done THIS, you will HAVE to go through the second episode of the Dwarves saga: "I see fire". Now, this one has been my own "introduction" to Geoff's solo work, and has been my favourite since... Until "I see fire" was released. And now there's also "Unshaken", which I believe you'd love. 😁 Enjoyed your reactions and vocal analysis a lot. And I'm SO curious to watch you listen to the very opening of "I see fire", I'm sure it'll be interesting 😁. See you next time!
Thank you so much for the reaction & analysis❤ Please do more of Voiceplay and Geoff🙏🏼

We missed you.
A follow-up video of I See Fire would be great. There are a few more solos for the Geoff with the higher register as well as some epic Geoff-quakes.
Lolli is a goddess of sound waves and emotional expression in human form. Always a pleasure!
more Geoff please 😁
The oracle card is a bit funny, because most of Geoff's moments of really pushing his boundaries come from Layne arrangements. "Layne doesn't care what's comfortable or possible" but when Layne asks for the impossible Geoff makes it possible anyhow.
It's funny, because the 3 Geoff's are dressed as Thorin Oakenshield, his nephew Fili, and the cheery Bofur. Hehe, I think it's great that Geoff decided to dress up as them, to be honest. Bofur's one of my favorite dwarf's in the movie 😆. Great analysis Lollie!! Thank you for creating and sharing this video with the rest of us.
Gotta love a good geoffquake 😁💜💜
Thanks for all the additional effort you do with vocal demos...it really adds to the already entertaining cascade of Lolli-ness!
You are REALLY good! This (before today) was one of my LEAST favorite Geoff songs. Clearly, I just didn't know what to listen for. Your outstanding analysis AND demonstrations opened my eyes and ears WIDE!! You were already among my favorite reactors.... but you got bumped up a few notches with this one! Fantastic! Thank you!
So fun to see you break down Geoff's lows. Love the way you see his music. Geoff and you = Brilliant. More please. Jacks Lament is an incredible work and super theatrical.
His version of "way on down" by Elvis names his Geoffs. He is truly one of the best in the world at singing that low. You're a gem! Thanks!
Geoff is a beast xx
Hello gorgeous! It looks like you haven't checked out Voiceplay's cover of Hellfire yet. Please, please do give it a listen as I know you will be delighted by it. Also, I have to keep pitching for Peter Hollens. He's got such a beautiful voice and I'm sure you will love him as well. 💞🧚♀️
What also gets me besides the incredible richness of his voice is his pitch. Look how straight those lines are on those longer low notes!!! Pretty good control when just 6 or 7 Hz can put you onto another note! I'm not so sure pitch correction even works that low, a 50Hz note doesn't provide a lot of data for it to work on.

where the limit goes, I don't know, but Geoff has said that pitch correction doesn't work on his lowest notes. where exactly that line goes, I'm not sure though
Geoff with a voice deeper than the Mines of Moria. The song Misy Mountains Cold. Lolli nerding it up with technology. Dies ut get any more fun and interesting. I think not. Really cool and interesting video i enjoyed it from the analysis to the goosebumps. 😅
I love your reaction, energy and in-depth analysis. Well done!
Now's time for the sequel! I SEE FIRE! :D
I've been watching this channel for a while now and I'm glad I am by myself because every time Lolli begins her videos with "hello gorgeous!" I constantly catch myself saying "Ha! Look who's talking! If someone else were here they might think I'm crazy.
13:25 was wild! To hear that low note from her!? I am beyond impressed!
Lolli, a fantastic analysis as always, full of great humor, enthusiasm, and musical geekery. And that beautiful singing of yours! I absolutely loved the spectral analysis!! I suggest doing more of that in the future. Question - at 6:26 - isn't that the 3rd in the bass instead of the 5th? Woo hoo! Thank you, thank you.
First dwarf song from the first Hobbit movie. He said he was able to get the same four dwarfs as they just happened to be available. To come back and do a song from the second Hobbit movie. I See Fire.
I can do the low notes but can't get the resonance/volume sometimes. Great video as always 👍
Gorgeous is the motte juste. This very video was my very first introduction to the phenomenon of YT and music videos. One click that changed my life.
Love that you have the Roland piano that has that voice setting. Had lots of fun playing classical music with it :D
If you like bass choir singing adventure fantasy then you'll love Hoist the Colours The Bass Singers on the Bobby Bass channel.
Thanks Lolli 😊
Thank you Lolli. This amazingly detailed and precise analysis of Geoff Castelluci's work keeps you in the number one spot of KZread vocal coach reactions. Brilliant work from you and Geoff!
Love you Lolli. Love Geoff! This reaction makes my day
Nice. One thing......... Most people get this wrong, but it's pretty obvious for bass singers. Geoff's first G1 on "gold" is subharmonic. The second one on "lay" is full voice - pure chest, not subharmonic. The last one, on "day" is a growl. Very different techniques: everyone knows chest voice. In the case of the growl, it's 100% false fold phonation. The subharmonic note, contrary to popular belief, makes no use of the false folds. It only uses true vocal chords, with ONE vocal chord vibrating at one frequency, and the OTHER vocal chord vibrating at another frequency. The result is the dropped subharmonic pitch.....
I See Fire, you will love it. Have a beautiful week ahead. And, would love to watch your reaction to VP's Hall of the Mountain King, that would be a lot of giggling.
The harmonies in this song light a fire in my Eburone heart, every time...
Living Colour please Lolli! "This Is The Life" and "Cult Of Personality" are my favourites, but "Love Rears Its Ugly Head" really shows off Corey Glover's voice - which is the vocal equivalent of an expensive whiskey - smooth & rich but with a depth and kick to it. Well, that's my analogy - you'll have your own after listening to him. Thanks! Big fan of your channel and voice!
Geoff is amazing, and your reaction and analysis are equally amazing.
This was so much fun ! Stay real and know that we all love ya !
You are so wonderful to watch and listen to, gorgeous 😉👏👏👏🤗🩷
That software (and your imitation of it) are giving me strong "My Fair Lady" vibes.
Once again, Lolli, you've delivered a reaction & analysis that is an absolute joy to watch. Through your reactions, it's as if I'm hearing this song for the first time again. And to top it off, your own vocalisations to illustrate what you mean are gorgeous. I can't decide which I like best. (Do you see what I did there?) A couple of questions for you, if I may beg your indulgence: will you be releasing an album some time? I'd love to have I Can't Decide and any other songs you'd care to record with that level of passion and excitement as a CD some day. There are several singers I'd like to recommend, and please forgive me if you've already recorded reactions to them - Geoff Tate of Queensryche (Take Hold of the Flame, Silent Lucidity, Empire or anything from Operation: Mindcrime); Michael Kiske of Helloween (Keeper of the Seven Keys, Future World or The Tale That Wasn't Right); and Fish (yes, it was a nickname, but it became his stage name, and I can never remember his real name) of Marillion (Grendel would be perfect, but any of Script For A Jester's Tear, The Web, Forgotten Sons, Emerald Lies, Fugazi, Chelsea Monday, Pseudo Silk Kimono or Sugar Mice would be great).
This reaction and breakdown is even more excellent than your normal amazing. Best one yet!
your reactions are the best on the internet. I don't know why, but they just make smile at the end of a hard day at work. thank you.
Ah, I needed this bit of loveliness!! Best reactor on the web and best bass singer on the web!! That was truly a delightful use of my 18:36 minutes. Smiles galore watching this reaction. ☺
Thanks loli great as always. You all agree
You have, sometimes very funny reactions, but most of all very professional reactions to what evet you reaveal whit your knowledge! Not sure if I mentiond that before..🤔 but very happy to follow your channel caused theese reasons. You, and two other gingers are the best to disseminate how vocals actually works. I`m reffering to the "carismatic voice" from U.S, and the Australian,, Julia,, Ooooh, give me a moment ... Nylon/Nilon. or close .. getting older is not goood for your memory , haha🤭. Please keep up your great reactions to music, I and hopefully all other who are lucky to listen/follow is very thankfull for what you do! Best of wishes from Norway, have a excellent weekend 💃🥳

Jennifer Glatzhofer is also very good. Not as technical but as a non trained person I get a lot out of her analyses. She also tries to hit those low bass notes which is often hilarious.
SO profound !!! “If you don’t drop something, how can it fall !” 😃. Love it !! 🥰 🩷
I love how you feel the music like I do! Geoff is one of my favorites!! Those low notes are my favorite. And his voice is so buttery and smooth. The group he's with, Voice play, has a great acapella sound. Please do their version of Valhalla Calling me
Please react to Geoff's cover of "I See Fire".
anyone else dreaming of a Geoff and Diana Ankudiniova colab, image the frequency fun they could produce together!? I love your reactions gorgeous
F-in Elle... you special milady. Break it down! The joy is contagious 😊
I want ACAPELLA Lolli, the sound would be mind meltingly fantastic..❤❤❤
Thank you for the affirmation
Now you’re adding technology to analyze the frequency of the notes!?! You’re like a MUSIC WIZARD SCIENTIST and I love it! 😊
Orville Peck - Let Me Drown (Live in Nashville) !! 🎉😋
There's a quote in one of the Game of Thrones books. A man's voice was described as "honey poured over thunder". That is the perfect way to describe Geoff's voice.
You are fantastic :) Thanks for the entertaining and informative analysis.
That card was so needed today
Oh, Geoff, Jeffrey and the others will have a good laugh at the character analysis! Excellent work!
Yay! I've waited 2+ years for this reaction and the lovely, luscious Lolli has delivered yet again. Your low notes are a wonderful treat as well. Simply amazing love. You never disappoint because you are the best🥰🥰🥰

I think with his future addition of I See Fire shows us so much more range that this talented man can bring. That song hits me in the feelings in the best way.
I LOVE your analyses! So rich in musical details and so sweet and funny
My favorite creator and my favorite reactor. This is one of my favorite songs from Geoff. I have been greatly anticipating this for some time. In no way did it disappoint 🙂
You're the best. And I sure do love it when you sing while demonstrating. You're amazing.
You are SUCH a nerd when it comes to music, I'm a male singer who can't read music and has no formal training, hell I never made it through what I believe you call primary school. I am mesmerized by it, thank you very much for the break downs, and making formal knowledge understandable on a practical level, it's so hard to find such a thing when it comes to some of the more advanced stuff, especially anything specific, and it's all so much that it can be overwhelming sometimes. So thank you, graciously, new sub. Always wanted a fairy voice mother, had no idea yall actually came with the wizard knowledge, the accent, and all the bells and whistles too.
I love how you mix in the technical aspects of voice and how sound is produced. Your videos are always so much fun. I'd love to see a review of Mark Knopfler/Dire Straits' Brothers in Arms. Thank you for putting this together, amazing as always.

as a fan of Tolkien's Lord of the Rings, Over The Misty Mountains is my favorite offering from Geoff, he truly would've made the Mines of Moria echo like only a Dwarf could.
It's incredible to be both so informational AND entertaining. All the qualities of a great teacher are present. The costume analysis is just an added little treat :)
Great fun as usual! Loved the analysis, and Carpet Shoulder Geoff talking about Go-To Geoff was priceless!😅😅😅
