Definitely. Also headless horseman.

You should definitely check out more Voiceplay. "Hoist the Colors", "If I Were A Rich Man/Girl", "Moana Medley", to name just a few. Oh! I almost forgot! "Just Sing", which is a HUGE collaboration with MANY other a capella artists. If/when you do that one, be sure to turn on the captions. They included information about who everyone is, as well as a few snarky remarks.

With you being a vocal coach I think you would really love The Wicked Medley that Voiceplay does. Geoff spent a good amount of years on the arrangement and it shows

Oh yes, this. Very much this.

I'm glad you enjoyed this one! The jump to "I'm the Oogie Boogie Man!" and the drop of how many octaves after at the close of the song is one of the things that always blows reactor's minds, and it's fun to see every time!

The difference between Voiceplay and other groups is that every one gets a chance to shine. You should checkout Hoist the Colours, My Mother Told Me, or for a bit of Valentine's Day fun their version of I Can't Help Falling in Love. You won't be disappointed

Guess what the BEST part of this is? This is an 'older' song and there has been enough time between then and now that they have all improved. Geoff's voice has reached lower lows. He's an actual quakemaster. :)

yep way back then Goeff his this E1 in this video.. but that was a long time ago, he's done lower since then.

Loved your reaction, thanks! More VoicePlay, please! Their newest drop, The Dragonborn Comes, is truly way beyond next level. Incredible harmonies, Incredible Geoff bass notes, and a video production that looks like it was pulled from a major movie studio production. It's that good.

Geoff’s lowest recorded note is a B0 in Halo Theme. I agree with the previous suggestions: Hoist the Colours, If I Were a Rich Man/Girl, and the latest, The Dragonborn Comes-you’re going to love them. Be aware, too, that Geoff and Layne (the beatboxer) trade off doing the arrangements-both of them are fabulous. Eli (ELee), the group’s tenor, does most of their lighting and effects, and he’s also really skilled at that. You can’t go wrong with Voiceplay. Great reaction! Once you hear a song where they’re not doing character voices, I think you might also be pretty impressed by Eli and their newest member, Cesar as well as Geoff. (Past members of the group also had some pretty awesome voices.). We don’t get to hear Layne sing much, but when he does, that’s also a treat.

Some say Valhalla Calling has 3 instances of a Geoff B0, with one of them lasting a full 15 seconds.

More VoicePlay!!!!! Hoist the Colors, Wicked, and The greatest show are three great choices.

You should wear headphones, the experience is much better when you hear that final note

Geoff has a video on his channel explaining how he gets 'subterranean' like that last note. It always tickles me when people hear Geoff go prince of bass cleft for the first time.

Being a 5 octave singer makes those 'belt for Jesus' bits really special. His final note here is not as low as he can go. Geoff has been working on his chest voice and can now do many first octave notes as chest notes not subharmonics. Listen to Geoff's single Shenandoah. It really is like different people singing.

Yeah I think I learned the most from Geoff and that is saying a lot. Like she said in the other video of Sixteen Tons, his control is so spot on it's just so rare for a bass. Thurl is the only other bass singer I can think of that was so musical with their voice, of course that is one of Geoff's biggest inspirations.

Geoff’s lowest (so far) recorded chest note is F1; from E1 down to B0 is all subs.

Great reaction. Definitely do more Voiceplay!! Their new cover of Dragonborn Comes from Skyrim is incredible!!

Been waiting for you to get back to Geoff/Voiceplay. Love your reactions!! Geoff did God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen at Christmas - fantastic of course. He did Shenandoah last month and it is so sweet and soothing and wonderful. You'll love it. For Voiceplay, I recommend their Wicked Medley first; they have two women collaborating with them and it is phenomenal. Have fun going down this rabbit hole!

Late to the party, but, to my shame I just recently discovered this group . Beside their amazing musical talents, let's take our hats off for their theatrical characterisations - there are some serious acting chops there. They are one extraordinary, breathtaking package .

This is a staple of Voiceplay. They have come a long way since this video!

The talent among the others singers is also astounding, the way their voice characters sing IN character is so good and fun, the timing in the synchopated sections is so tight and spot on. As for suggestions, You will love the part Geoff has in the Little Mermaid Medley.

My Mother Told me, from Vikings, is also a good group one as is Mr Grinch. Some straight Geoff stuff, I'd suggest: Take Me Home , Country Road as well Headless Horseman and his inventive spin of Monster Mash, from Fall of last year

Voiceplay (the Theatre Kids) is so fun to watch. Check out The Dragonborn Comes, Wicked, and Greatest Showman Medley. They will blow your mind. Geoff has a 5 octave rang and he sings so clearly throughout it. Shenandoah is one of Geoff's by himself and is such a beautiful version.

That's the wonder of Geoff vocal range and subharmonic master piece he has created for himself.

3:40 Geoff has an instructional video (maybe a few videos?) on KZread about finding your natural singing range. Not many of could handle 5 octaves but I think it might help someone expand their range of voice.

yep and even if you aren't a singer its still great to watch his videos he gives a lot of knowledge on his techniques and you learn a lot about singing. He talks about training his low growl from Tim from Home Free who he first heard doing it and wanted to learn to do it to make his low notes better. How it takes years of practice to even start to fine tune your voice to hit the notes you want, and that after years he still doesn't have it all the way yet.

nightmare before christmas is one of my favorite movies, and this song in particular, is my favorite from the film, and these gentlemen did it very well keeping the soul of the song while making it their own

Should react to the a capella group Home Free

Another song to check out is Geoff's latest solo song called Shenandoah. It really is a beautiful song and his voice is excellent (as always).

Geoff has an unbelievable range of B0-A5. You should hear him in the Little Mermaid medley they did. Amazing!

2 of the members left the group last year, Earl and J.None, and 1 replacement so far has been added. They added Cesar Delarosa. They have as before used special guests to sing with as a 5th or 6th member. Must watches are their medleys of Wicked and The Greatest Show on earth. Disney medleys of Moana and Little Mermaid Geoff solo stuff of Blackbird, Bear Necessities, You already did 16 tons and Misty Mountain. So glad to see you had some time to do another review of him/them so many to go through.

But they did say Cesar was a shoe in since he gets them coffee every morning.

Please react to Tim Faust singing 'Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow.' It'll blow your mind in a similar way.

Your reactions to Geoff's voice is absolutely priceless. Honest, heartfelt, and coming from a professional like you just reinforces every singer on the planets thoughts...there is only one Geoff Casellucci. Blessings from Kansas~

Well, since you're currently on a bass singer kick.. check out a man by the name of Tim Foust. I would love to see your reaction to his cover of Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow/Stay. I have a feeling you'll be slightly impressed. Also, anything by Voice Play is always a winner. I don't think I've seen anything from them I would consider "bad".

Seconded (and thirded too!!) Tim is incredible

He hit a high B in a mixy chest and an extremely low E within a few measures 😳 i wish I could do either one 🤣

Hoist the Colours is amazing. The arrangement, the voices, it's a masterpiece.

Gotta love Geoff.....Try Lucy Thomas 17 yo, she has a large u-tube catalog 30+ songs....Her little sister Martha 11 yo, I know you will enjoy " When you believe" the harmony is killer, actually its all great... LOVE YA.......tks

What an amazing voice this has got to be one of the best voices I've ever heard it's full of emotion and pureness in a singing voice you will not find a better voice than this alot of the singers today don't sing near this good this is a once in a lifetime voice it's one of the greatest voices you will ever hear it doesn't get any better than this it's fantastic plus it keeps a full range of energy and excitement

that final "HoOoOw" got me dying. Nice Video

He hits that low note by subharmonic singing, a technique that creates the octave below the actually sung note or even lower notes in the same intervals as the overtone series, but downwards. It is somehow like dividing songs into measures: besides the quarter notes, you hear something with a lower "frequency". For other techniques in low notes, you might go to Tim Foust of Home Free (growl) or Elliott Robinson (full chest). Elliott's work can be found on his own channel (Elliott Michael) or at Axiom Vocal. There are also some collabs with Chris Rupp, founder of Home Free.

@DayneTreader

Open Vocal Fry is another technique in hitting low notes, although it is by far the emptiest-sounding method of the lot.

Awesome reaction. Further VoicePlay to watch, Hoist the Colors, My Mother Told Me, Little Mermaid Medley, HALO theme, If I were a rich man/girl. They are amazing.

Confession time I laughed at you thru this video. I think the word is SHOCK!!!

VoicePlay - Hoist the Colors.....you'll have all kinds of fun with that one

If you want a similar ridiculous display of range, check out Ivan Rebroff's "I'm tiefen Keller" Ivan goes from an easy F5 all the way down to a sustained F1!

Since you seem to like a capella, and low notes....you should check out Home Free and their rendition of Man of Constant Sorrow !! Tim Faust is their bass singer and is amazing

oh darling, you are so adorable. this entire group is just stunning!!! did you try 'my mother told me' ? WOW I love these guys!!

Both Geoff and Tim Foust with Home Free have a 5 Octave range. Tim actually helped Geoff get to 5 Octaves. Just like Dimash has gone from 6 to 7 Octaves and climbing. 🎶👱‍♀️👗👠👠💓

There is so much going on underneath this arrangement. Lots of layers and mainly Geoff. Neat with headphones.

Kudos on choosing Voiceplay, this is an especially fun one. Should you wish to vault to the very top of performers in terms of dynamics I’d like to recommend a singer named Floor Jansen. She has plenty of solo work and currently fronts for the band Nightwish. A typical intro to the band is the song “Ghost Love Score” official live version. Floor has done many covers during the lockdown, I am a fan of her Adagio as well as Oblivion though she has many others like the popular Lady Gaga song “Shallow” if you prefer more familiar tracks. You will be properly astonished I think as she is the penultimate storyteller as singers go with a three octave range and training from classical to theater while she is predominantly a metal performer historically. She uses every discipline often within the same song and her versatility as a soprano is unparalleled and very emotion provoking. Such a presence as well! I hope you will embrace this possibility as her gifts are hard earned and well worth your time.

So glad you had the subtitles on for that [Subterranean] at the end. 🤣

You are a real life angel

I think(?) I read somewhere that Geoff wanted to sing rock when he was younger and worked on that range for a while. Someone else can probably fill you in better on that :) With their new Dragonborn release it seems the lower Geoff goes, the higher Eli and Omar go in retaliation.

Nice, another vocal coach getting blown away by Voiceplay :-) In addition to the suggestions already made, you *must* check out Geoff's covers of "16 Tons", "The Headless Horseman" and "Far Away". Also, two minor observations: if you listen to this song using headphones, there's a mean panorama effect on the "I'm drowning in my tears" line not quite carried across by speakers. And, like many, you seem to have missed the otherworldly riff Geoff does after "to add a little spice". IMO that alone is worth listening to the song. Anyway, nice vid, do keep 'em coming.

You are sooo cute and sweet. Love your Genuine open personality too 😇 Always a treat to see and listen to your reactions ⚘⚘⚘⚘⚘

Geoff has a new solo cover of "Big Bad John" you must react to. It's just what you want, 16 tons like.

I love the near 6 octaves - B0 to A5

Yes you should make more videos on voice play.you look like you are having fun keep up the good work

Hey, try something about Floor Jansen and Nightwish. e.g. "floor jansen beste zangers henk poort" or "floor jansen nightwish ghost love score" - Best Comment: "All others Sing what they can, but Floor sings what she wants!" I am really sure you will like it! 🙂 Nice video about VoicePlay, I really Like them. Nice COntent you create

Have you reacted to the group Home Free? Tim Foust is their bass, and he’s also got a 4 (or is it 5?) octave range like Geoff does. You should hear their version of “Man of Constant Sorrows”. Their beat-boxer (Adam Rupp) is OUTSTANDING too!

I love their captions at the end. "Lower" "Even Lower" "Subterranean"

Great reaction video.

Im a bass voice singer "basso profondo", i dont know why, but for a bass singer is very easy go to medium and high register, i can sing really high with no force, and very low too of course in my normal register, but a tenor or baritone cant do it.

Been waiting for this c:

Yes ma'am! Thank you for the reaction! Please react to Geoff Castelluci's cover of Elvis' "Way Down" and Voiceplays Hoist The Colors, Wicked Medley and If I Were A Rich Man. All excellent examples of awesome voices and singing!

Geoff castellucci - big bad john please! It's so much sixteen tons vibe and it's freakin awsome!

Yes! 'Headless horseman' by geoff!

You should really react to their "The Greatest Showman" medley. It's simply amazing.

Geoff has a 6 octave range. But all the members of the group are amazing in their own rights. Layne, the beat boxer, is Zero the ghost dog, Geoff is The Boogie Man and Earl, JNone, and Eli are the children Lock, Shock and Barrel. Earl and JNone have since left the group and Cesar De La Rosa has joined the group permanently but they are still down by one permanent member. Omar Cardona has been joining them frequently and may become the next permanent group member

Do you still see these after this long? Hope so, but anyway, VoicePlay has done so many covers. Explore their catalog and pick at random. 😊 I would especially recommend: My Mother Told Me (Viking theme) Valhalla Calling (Miracle of Sound, Viking Theme) Nothing Else Matters (Metallica) If I were a Rich Man/Girl Feat. Ashley Diane (Fidler on the Roof) In the Hall of the Mountain King (Edvard Grieg) etc., etc., etc.

Btw the note he hit on the last time he said man at the end of the song is E1.

You should check out Home Free & their quarantine edition. Songs like Flowers on the Wall, Folsom Prison Blues, as well as both the live & recorded versions of Ring of Fire

Thanks for the video. I enjoyed it.

as everyone else says, check out everything Voiceplay and Geoff

If you want to see a wider range of what they do try "if I were a rich Man/girl" or The Helo theme, Hoist the colir or indeed the new one The Dragonborn comes. If you want another group try Homefree also acapella but more country. Thier Brothers in Arms is amazing, , if you want to cry try One voice with Billy Gilman.

Check out Nightwish "Ghost Love Score" the 2013 LIVE at Wacken concert, or really anything with Floor Jansen singing, but that is the Nightwish/Floor gateway drug of choice. You won't be disappointed. Also be prepared for the Nightwish Army!

Another acapella group that does everything via the internet: The Bass Gang. They all have crazy range. Two of theirs I would recommend is their cover of Billie Eilish Bury a Friend or Panic at the Disco' Emperor's New Clothes. You will be absolutely stunned at what they can accomplish.

Would love to see a home free reaction. Especially tim foust solos

I like VoicePlay but for acapela, I love Home Free. Their bass, Tim Foust has a 5-octave range and has been known to blow out woofers when they perform on stage. Anything Home Free does is well worth listening to. Off topic, I said in a comment on another of your videos that I was going to do it. I know you have done a couple reactions to Diana Ankudinova from when she was 14 or 15. You need to watch her at 18 singing Can't Help Falling In Love, to get a real understanding of her range as a true castralto.

I would love to hear you do comparisons between the original and and geoff'S VERSION

The scene is from "The Nightmare Before Christmas". It's animated in the movie, but they act it out here. Check out Geoff's "Headless Horseman" for more of that last note.

Hello from the Netherlands . I saw your comment channel and am very curious what you think of this video : Nightwish Ghost Love Score Live wacken 2013 . Nightwish is a Finnish band but the singer is the Dutch Floor Jansen she was also vocal coach herself for years .

Love it Lara. Keep up the great work.

I think you should react also to daddy sang bass by voiceplay

late to the oogie boogie train but i like the review and of course i have to love the beautiful blonde hair

I like a lot of the Acapella groups, but I think what sets Voiceplay apart is Geoff's arrangements. The other groups seem to focus on the upper range where Geoff knows his range and does a good job of blending the whole groups abilities together. If you watch more of the recent stuff Geoff has also started adding the beat boxing to his repertoire.

I love it !!

DEFINITELY check out "Hoist the Colours", their cover of "Warriors", "This is Halloween", or their Halo theme to see some more members shine too!

HIGHLY recommend Voiceplay doing "Carry on my wayward son". You'll get the whole group and it's now my favorite version of that song. Also, some Home Free (the two groups a good friends). Good place to start with Home Free is "Man of constant sorrow" or "Ring of fire" (either one, the one from the sing off or the one they did with Avi). Tim from Home Free has the same range as Geoff and has been known to blow speakers and sound systems at live shows (on occasion, and yes, I can cite my work ;-) ).

Loved the reaction. You need to invest in a set of headphones.

Geoff isn’t being featured here, he is actually one of the cofounders of voice play, him and some of his friends made the group about 20 years or so ago, they use to be called 4 2 5, and you need to check out their newer stuff they have only gotten better with everything over the last year. And also Geoff has videos on his solo channel about the different ways he hits the low notes.
