An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge | Ambrose Bierce | Read By Geoff Castellucci

[@NathanJ-E]

The fact that he is literally comfortable speaking at a stable Bb1-B1...

[@audrawelsh8467]

So Geoff. Let’s talk. Audiobooks are a thing ya know. You should take up being a narrator for them. Just a thought. Like a big thought. Like please.

[@sam_lvlcnrn1492]

He's too busy singing with VoicePlay!!!

[@redlophix5670]

@Daniel Huffman yea, see, Geoff? The world needs your voice!

[@TXFreckles]

@Audra Amen! 👐 Geoff, I could listen to you narrate stories 24 hours a day! You were made for this. 🤍❤

[@M11969]

Yes, please.

[@lkreinmiller-author]

You would be as awesome as George Guidall, who is my favorite narrator.

[@chris55529]

*ASTONISHINGLY WELL DONE!!!* This is the only audio version that I considered sending to my Mom, and then did. Thank you! Just subscribed.

[@GeorgeLifterMann]

Fact: Geoff's voice is so stable when speaking that the tone he's producing throughout the whole video is a Bb1-B1. Btw, amazing voice for voiceovers. Can't get enough of it!

[@Marcell0Bass]

I’m gonna make a speaking voice range

[@gideone9802]

@@Marcell0Bass YES PLEASE!!! FUCKING DO IT

[@BluevesPL]

@@Marcell0Bass do Tim's speaking vocal range too!

[@jenbee2578]

No freaking way…I thought not another soul in this world knew this short story. Civil War lit had a profound effect on me, and this story was a strong contributing factor. Whenever I read it again, I shall never “hear” it the same. Thank you. I think. 😬

[@thebamboozlerette1824]

The background sounds add so much to an already incredible voice.

[@miguellyons4557]

Dude, we literally just read this in my English class.

[@deedit4666]

I remember reading it 3 years ago.

[@terrimoran4428]

Same. I wished I saw this. I wouldn’t have read it. I would have listened to him

[@sam_lvlcnrn1492]

"His features were good, straight nose, firm mouth and broad forhead from which his long hair was combed straight back, falling behind his ears." OMYGOSH IT'S GEOFF

[@sam_lvlcnrn1492]

Ok apart from the moustache

[@youtubingjaguar5082]

That was my thought when I first heard that description too! ;)

[@GeoffCastellucci]

[@SP_33333]

Always loved this journey into the mind of one condemned by Ambrose. The movie Jacob's Ladder was loosely based on this human need to stave off death. The mind is a curious thing. Thank you for a beautiful read sir.

[@DC-tm7ys]

Wow

[@Tqueenboss1]

Finally, a soothing voice to lull me to sleep! So soothing

[@tim57243]

Not the most soothing of short stories, though.

[@aureliiq3248]

@@tim57243 I listened to one of the horror stories he narrated to fall asleep & it worked like A CHARM LOLLLLL

[@silvertbird1]

This story suddenly came to mind after not having thought of it for many years. I probably first read it 40 years ago in high school, and this was a masterful reading of it. One can never forget the shock at the revelation at the first reading, and which can never be repeated, of course.

[@noblebrown37]

This is different and i like it. Glad he is exploring other things he can do using his voice.

[@ParadoxysPlayground]

I love this. Would absolutely love to hear more. I love bedtime stories, and my man has a wonderful, deep voice, but it's hard to talk him into reading me bedtime stories every night :(

[@christinakunze6006]

OMG, I died of shock, when these shot sounds came in

[@manuelbustamante1648]

My ASMR trigger have a name and it is Geoff Castelucci

[@ravenwinters318]

Yay!!!! I love the sound effects. They are surprising. You dont expect it. Would love for you to do an ongoing story. Just however long you want to do each time. Something to look forward to. And absolutely love the different voices.

[@HomewardHiker]

Magnificent. More please.

[@DC-tm7ys]

Your voice and the story enabled me to visualize the whole incident. WOW

[@Shyrden1]

Oh wow I could literally listen to you read the phone book - I agree with the comment below please start doing audiobooks if you have time!!!

[@onlycalmchannel]

It's insane how he picks stories I adore. I just heard of Geoff today. And now, I stop I listen and deeply appreciate.

[@juditfenyes-papp6261]

Thank you, Geoff. Neverending goosebumps and great resonance. But I really have to pee now 🤣

[@tridentxan]

We all falling asleep to this, right? Okay, good.

[@johnb9005]

I saw the short film An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge in high school. I remember it well.

[@turtleshell5957]

Heard this and The Raven. So cool!

[@suzannavanbaest9800]

Please, more, much more of this!!!!!

[@mjseternalera8431]

Your deep voice is amazing Geoff your amazing voice always gives me chills 👍🏻

[@lrosecrans6]

So very soothing. Thank you for reading to us. I know William loves hearing you read and so do I.

[@salvatoregurl]

Your voice is very soothing, Thank You for your wonderful readings!

[@sarawlindgreen3115]

I love how Geoff's soothing voice together with the sounds added to the reading brings this whole story to life in my head. It feels like I'm dreaming before I have even fallen asleep ❤️

[@DairyTheFurry]

Yes Geoff keep it up Geoff

[@debbieholoquist2059]

Thank you! Your singing voice is wonderful. And so is your narration voice. I need more!

[@Radi0jupiter]

This is my favorite reading of this I come back here and fall asleep to this all the time

[@enesarslan.mp4]

He would be a great voice actor

[@tramason1992]

Such an awesome soothing voice.

[@marshayoung9387]

Geoff, I can't tell you enough how much your speakng voice calms my soul. Do you have something slow & much scarier you can read ? You said your favorite role to play was that of a villain. That kind of slow & scary BTW, I loved you playing the role of the vampire in This Is Halloween. Even though I am old enough to be your mom you still warm my heart. Much love to you ❤️

[@keithhartley3253]

I really like all of the sound effects. It really makes it feel real. Also, your voice is so amazing!!!!

[@idaengest4069]

I didnt hear them id fallen asleep at that point😂

[@craigcarlock5799]

Thank you for reading my story. You did so beautifully. I truly thought that I had gotten away. It all seemed so real.

[@dianadonnell]

Some say not to sleep... who can sleep to this god's voice?

[@tonifinley4872]

I've tried to fall asleep to some of Geoff's narrations, but my brain insists that I listen to every word.

[@theotherguy9698]

Nice Voice, Mr Geoff 👍

[@Dreamerof2012]

You're voice is so relaxing to listen to. Thank you for sharing one of your favorites with us.

[@christinakunze6006]

I have actually no Idea, what you are reading, but your voice is very calming

[@joycehahn01]

I listen each evening to a audiobook ! Your voice is excellent and I love the old War stories !

[@restingcatface]

More reasons to be your fan. I really love this!

[@sierraclydesdale8724]

That was amazing. Amazing voice, amazing narration, amazing story, amazing message. Nothing better have I heard. Can’t wait to listen to more.

[@vespelian]

Fantastic story brilliantly read.

[@izzledizzle1310]

What a masterful piece of literature! I have to confess, I really didn't understand the theme for most of it, but by the end it all started coming together and now I can't get it out of my head. Poignant, eerie storytelling at its finest. Thank you for sharing, Geoff!!! Excellent recording as always!!

[@radomanci37]

I have tinnitus and casual insomnia. Your voice is so calming and helps me to fall asleep. Thank you for your support, sir.

[@Naomi-pq6tv]

Love this and loved watching Rod Sterling's adaptation he used in the Twilight Zone I'd also love to hear you read "Form Whom the Bell Tolls".

[@MadiLovesGod]

I really feel asleep during this and when I woke up I was sad because I missed the whole video so re started it

[@t_ogaming4881]

Wow what a soothing voice!! You're so talented! I hope the best for you Geoff!!!! :)

[@georgiat4083]

I made it through without falling asleep and can finally appreciate the sound effects 🤗

[@riodhr7414]

Couldn’t think of a better way to start my morning 😂

[@susan5223]

This is lovely! Read more. Pick the stories you like.

[@jamieson.]

Everybody bug Geoff Castellucci, Avi Kaplan, and Tim Faust until they do a colab. Also they all need to hit a E1 at the same time. That would be SO cool!

[@arlenejacobs8812]

Wow! Just wow!! I don’t know what else to say!!

[@Dan-Black]

Does this count as ASMR? Anyway, I like the reading!

[@verushannaidoo9450]

ASMR is a feeling of well-being combined with a tingling sensation in the scalp and down the back of the neck, as experienced by some people in response to a specific gentle stimulus. So it's all about how it makes you feel. So I guess it is

[@Dan-Black]

​@@verushannaidoo9450 - Yep, that was what I was getting at. It doesn't give me that sensation, but it probably does for some people, and this is the kind of thing some people put in ASMR videos. There are different "triggers" for various people's ASMR; probably nobody has exactly the same set of triggers. (Reportedly. I don't personally feel that kind of stimulation from any sounds I've heard, at least as an adult, but some things are still nice to listen to.) But I do find his voice very nice to listen to. I've considered making a couple videos like this myself, mainly just because it actually feels good to speak with a low voice -- you get a very pleasant, soothing vibration in your upper chest.

[@sonia417]

Ye I think this is ASMR for me 100%. Why cant we have audio books in this voice? I must admit tho,I struggle following what hes saying cause I drift away and just focus on the sound.

[@heather8374]

@@sonia417 i had to backtrack a couple times. for this exact reason.

[@marijke8734]

That voice 😍🥰😊. I want my personal geoff 😭😭

[@idaengest4069]

I wonder if it is appropriate to request it on a dating app, like you just list everything you would like in a boyfriend, and then you just write, :and also i would really aprreciate if you had a deep voice and would like to read me to sleep that would ve great😂

[@SqueakersNJ]

Beautifully read as always 😊 I appreciate the cadence of your voice, sir. It would be perfect for meditation tracks. You should consider recording guided breathing or relaxation techniques. 💜

At least one person has already commented that you need to consider narrating audio books. I will totally hire you.

[@anndownsouth5070]

Wow just wow. I love everything you do. I have been thinking about stories I would like to hear you read. There are 2 Roald Dahl short stories that I would love hear you do. "Lamb to the slaughter" and "The Witches". I'm sure you could do great things with both stories.

[@Tri_monster]

I would love if you could do A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens. I'm studying it in English and it would help me so much if you read it. I know it would take a long time for the whole book but if you could do sections of it, that'd be great too.
