FIRST TIME HEARING Geoff Castellucci - CAROL OF THE BELLS 🇺🇲 Bass Singer Version | REACTION

[@emrysfevre8087]

Never gets old seeing someone experience Geoff and also Voiceplay for the first time. He and the Voiceplay's crew are amazingly talented.

[@draclaudiasilva4323]

Never gets old… first time reaction to Geoff…. You should his solo work… I see fire…. And Voiceplay … Oogie boogie song, nothing else matters, valhala calling, dream on, seven nation army….. love all

[@DaneBramageROCKS]

Thank you and I am excited for this journey.

[@DaneBramageROCKS]

Gonna check it all out!

[@PurpleButterfly0918]

Welcome to the Geoff/ Voiceplay rabbit hole.

[@DaneBramageROCKS]

Thank you. Merry Christmas ⛄🎁

[@marshayoung9387]

​@@DaneBramageROCKS Merry Christmas & welcome to Geoff's world of Dragons. Thank you for an awesome reaction to Geoff Castellucci. Geoff is the low bass singer in the group Voice Play. They are known as The Theater Kids of a capella. Please do a reaction video to Voice Plays cover of Halo, the theme song from the Halo video game. The composer of the music was totally blown away by it. Please wait till the credits stop rolling before you end the video.

[@DaneBramageROCKS]

@marshayoung9387 oh Halo! That will be awesome. I'll take a look, thank you. And yes, I typically go all the way to the end of the video. Merry Christmas ⛄🎁

[@AuntieSingeA]

"I bet he does Viking music..." WOO! Does he ever. Start with 'My Mother Told Me' and then 'Valhalla Calling.' Geoff and Voiceplay are the Xmas gifts that keep on giving.

[@janetdw]

@@AuntieSingeA 💯 Came here to say the same!

[@tiffymcconkey]

He can also do Dragon

[@GUNNER67akaKelt]

And LOTR. 'Misty Mountains Cold,' 'I See Fire' and 'Song of Durin.'

[@DaneBramageROCKS]

Lol. Yup. Figured he would and stoked for this. Thank you so much

[@DaneBramageROCKS]

All here for LOTR. Check out the Tat on my wrist.

[@huldradraco]

welcome to the world of Geoff Castellucci! he and his group VoicePlay are definitely worth diving into! as a great first time intro for VoicePlay, I suggest Hoist the Colours, Thriller or Dragonborn Comes. as for Geoff's solo work, anything that catches your attention is great. but if you want a good idea of what Geoff's range truly is, his I See Fire displays that quite well with each Geoff "clone" getting solo parts in different voice types.

[@katthor7311]

#1 Rule for all new Geoff/VP fans: Always listen to Huldra! 😁

[@DaneBramageROCKS]

Yeah It seems I have a lot to get to!!

[@DaneBramageROCKS]

Thank you. Yes, I am so excited for this journey and all that comes with it. Thank you so much, more to come.

[@barbarakennedy2667]

Geoff has a full five octave range and he uses it masterfully.

[@DaneBramageROCKS]

Incredible! Love it.

[@mischiefomalley2712]

Great reaction. I love watching Geoff first-timers. It never gets old! Welcome to the Geoff/Voiceplay rabbit hole! Strap in and buckle up, because not only is it one hell of a ride, but you're about to get hit with the monsoon of like/follow/subscribe that goes wherever Geoff and Voiceplay lay their golden touch on a channel. This is gonna be fun, that much I can promise you.

[@DaneBramageROCKS]

Thank you and this was a blast! The support has been fantastic and I have a great way ahead now! I love it. Thank you again and more to come.

[@ScienceGeek2587]

KZbin recommended you to me because of Geoff. Geoff's range is just amazing. That alone is worth becoming a fan. But I think what really makes him stand out, what really makes Voiceplay stand out, is that you can't find a bad video. They are all incredibly talented, but they also do the work. In Carol of the Bells, Geoff did all the arranging, all the singing obviously, but he played all the music, the editing, and with his wife does all the set up, the filming, etc. And Voiceplay is not dissimilar, they bring in more help for some things (camera work, make up), but they do the work themselves. And with all that, Geoff and the guys put put polished work that's always a pleasure to watch. Welcome to one of the most fun rabbit holes with so much to explore!

[@DaneBramageROCKS]

Yes, this is one journey I am truly looking forward to. I keep watching this over and over and can not wait to see what else he can do. It is also amazing to know that he puts all this together. This is going to be fun. Cheers, more to come.

[@chriso6719]

Merry Christmas Dane. 🎄 Geoff is the bass singer for the acapella group VoicePlay. Geoff's wife ,Kathy, is the production manager for his solo stuff, and VoicePlay. Geoff and beatboxer Layne Stein, take turns on the VoicePlay arrangements. He has like a 5+ octave range. Love the screen shakes when he hit the super lows. Geoff and VoicePlay both love Halloween and Christmas. This year VP dropped their version of "Zat U Santa Claus" (Louis Armstrong). VP's cover of "Oogie Boogie Song" (The Nightmare Before Christmas) feat Geoff on lead and shows off his range. Yes, check out Geoff's version of "16 Tons", and suggest VP's cover of Aerosmith's "Dream On" Also, you and Jesse dropped your reactions to this song, at the same time. LOL

[@DaneBramageROCKS]

Yeah I saw Jesse premier his! I laughed but, great minds eh?! So yes, I'm so stoked for this journey. I literally about every single song of his saved. This is gonna be fun. Merry Christmas ⛄🎁

[@vdoyne]

@@DaneBramageROCKS When you react to Geoff's "Sixteen Tons" know that it is his only solo channel tune that is in full chest voice (no subharmonics in that one). He has a three octave range in full chest voice. Geoff is quite wonderful. Glad that you have found him (and, hopefully, VoicePlay).

[@DaneBramageROCKS]

@@vdoyne OK awesome! Thank you. I am stoked I found him!

[@sunnysidesofblue]

[@CarlaSaylor]

We fans call his low notes Geoffquakes! The artwork says it all. Cathedral bells brought crashing down, lol.

[@DaneBramageROCKS]

Yeah I loved that Artwork. Well, consider me a fan.

[@Aurora-cv5to]

Geoff used to tour pretty continuously with VoicePlay, but when everything shut down during the epidemic, he opened this personal channel. Now, with three of the VP members having very young children at home, they've decided to make touring an occasional thing. He drops a full length performance monthly, and often a short or two. Yep, I'm here because of the feed from Geoff. As for VoicePlay, I started as a huge fan of theirs, and expanded to Geoff's channel. The through line for each and every member is superlative musicianship, a strong work ethic, a sense of humor and attention to detail. It shows, they are outrageously good. Geoff and Layne (the other founder, and currently their beatboxer) split most of the projects. Who ever takes a project is responsible for arranging, rough vocal edit, video and full video edit. Obviously they switch around from time to time and work on each others' projects. Eli, the high tenor (known for his rock voice) also sometimes takes a turn and does arrangements. Liked and subscribed, and am hoping for more from Geoff and also from VoicePlay.

[@DaneBramageROCKS]

Thank you so much and welcome to the channel. I promise there will be more from both Geoff and voiceplay. I'm fascinated by all of this and am excited for the journey. Cheers, more to come.

[@hollyryalsgrubb1273]

This is an entire university course in one creation; done by a singular talent.

[@bobharp3492]

Big fan I'm new glad to Meet you voice play accapella group and Geoff castelluchi are the best and they get better every time I rec Valhalla calling, it's a Viking song

[@DaneBramageROCKS]

Nice to meet you as well!! Yeah I have a pretty good library to check out moving forward. I am so excited.

[@karenponchak5304]

Geoff is one of the most notable bass singers out there. He has, to an extent, mastered the extended vocal technique known as subharmonics. (He has tutorials on his channel.) But, as folks have mentioned, it's his full range that is most impressive. The fact that he can sing as low as an F1 (see VoicePlay's cover of Whiskey in the Jar) in full chest in mind blowing. But so is the fact that he can do rock belts in high tenor just leaves folks speechless (see VoicePlay's Oogie Boogie Song cover or Geoff's solo cover of Jack's Lament). Not to mention, as highlighted in this track, his arranging skills are *chef's kiss* . (*waits patiently for when you discover the tracks where he writes in original bridges and such seamlessly into the song*) Enjoy your journey with Geoff and VoicePlay. You will NOT be disappointed.

[@DaneBramageROCKS]

Thank you so much and yes, this guy is an incredible talent and I am stoked for this journey. I know I am only scratching the surface and will continue to be blown away. This is going to be awesome. Thank you for watching, more to come.

[@jackchisnall9316]

Geoff did the arrangement, sang all the parts (he has a 5 octave range), produced it, filmed it and edited it! Now try his God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen.

[@DaneBramageROCKS]

I heard!! I learned a ton about him and VP. I'm so excited to hear more! To be continued...

[@DavideBaroni]

Just subscribed in anticipation of more Geoff (and possibly Voiceplay), but not only. I loved your attitude while watching and reacting, and really enjoyed your reactions while the expression on your face was telling the whole story without words 🙂. I'll leave to others the informative stuff about Geoff, for once. See you next time! 🙂

[@DaneBramageROCKS]

Anticipate more then because it will happen! Thank you so much for watching and the comments, I'm so excited for this journey!

[@DavideBaroni]

@@DaneBramageROCKS You'll discover that Geoff has many facets, and one I appreciate a LOT is his sense of humour. He takes what he does very seriously, but doesn't take himself as seriously, and the results are videos where you can discover a touch of humour in unexpected places. It's more evident in his Halloween productions (and Christmas... Watch Elvis' "Blue Christmas" cover as an example 😁😅, or "Mele Kalikimaka"), but you'll find it in many places, sometimes more evident, sometimes more subtle. I love it. 🙂 Ditto for Voiceplay, if not even MORE 😅.

[@DaneBramageROCKS]

@@DavideBaroni Cool thing is, I already have a good list of Christmas and Halloween songs ready for next year!! I can't wait!! But.....they will probably release more so.....LOL

[@DavideBaroni]

@@DaneBramageROCKS Yup, both Geoff and Voiceplay release one video each for Halloween (and another one for Christmas), and there's always high expectation for them. But they always raise the bar and outdo their previous one 😁. Voiceplay are very theatrical, to the point that they're nicknamed "the theatre kids of a cappella", and it's a well deserved nickname 🙂. They're also VERY versatile and cover pretty much every genre you can think of... Try "Nothing else matters" (Metallica a cappella 😱) for a starter 🙂. And as you'll see, Geoff has this theatrical aspect as well. Watch his "Tolkien Trilogy" for example ("Far over the Misty Mountains cold", "I see fire" and "Song of Durin", in chronological order). Always keep in mind that all characters and all voices are him. 😅 I'm in for the ride, can't have enough of either of them 😅 See you next time!

[@etherealswordsman3214]

Congrats, the you just stumbled across voiceplay and geoff. get ready to have your comments section drowned in fans of them on every video of theirs you do because we can't help ourselves, we seek out reactions to these guys like a moth seeking light.

[@DaneBramageROCKS]

LOL, Drown is right!! I have never had so much trouble keeping up with the comments! Love it, though; the support for Geoff and the VP is incredible, and I learned so much. Here for it all. To be continued......

[@MarieDesJardin]

Thank you, Dane, for such a lovely first reaction to hearing Geoff Castellucci. You're right-- he doesn't put out bad videos. You can look up whatever strikes your fancy on his channel or for his a cappella group VoicePlay and have a wonderful listening experience. As you noticed, Geoff's channel is recent, only coming into being during the covid lockdown of 2020, but VoicePlay videos go back 12 years. There's some change in the band personnel, but Geoff, Layne Stein (vocal percussion) and Eli (tenor) are constant members. I hope you enjoy your Geoff & VoicePlay journey. Happy holidays!

[@DaneBramageROCKS]

Oh I'm so excited for this journey. Such an amazing discovery and hearing all about him just continues to build on that excitement. Thank you so much for watching. Merry Christmas ⛄ 🎁

[@mrkraemer77722]

​@@DaneBramageROCKS While the name 'VoicePlay' only goes back 12 years, the group that eventually became VoicePlay actually began back in '97, right out of high school. And while there have been some personnel changes, there have also been a couple of band name changes along the way. But VoicePlay is the name they're known as now, and they're an amazing group of musicians and people.

[@reneleroux2661]

Yes, I'm watching this because of him/them. Great reaction!

[@DaneBramageROCKS]

Thank you so much. Merry Christmas ⛄🎁

[@alexwalker8440]

The way Geoff can really sing in all those registers blows my mind. Many singers can hit low notes, but most can't hold them, and/or sound really bad. Geoff's voice is like a warm embrace that I never want to end. You're definitely in for a joy ride with Geoff and VoicePlay! Subscribing and looking forward to many more Geoff & VP!

[@DaneBramageROCKS]

Thank you so much and welcome to the channel. Yeah it blows my mind as well and I can't tell you how excited I am for this. It's going to be an amazing year.

[@hwyla4416]

Yes, you came up on my KZbin feed because of Geoff. I highly suggest a tour around his rabbit hole. It’s cozy in here. I’m also a patreon (at a low level) and I can tell you the chats and Behind the Scenes are worth more than I pay. Unfortunately I’m on a limited budget or I would give more. He’s phenomenal. BTW - while it seems amazing that he sings all those part, he has gone higher AND lower than this. Additionally he is also the arranger and does all the accompaniment (although the instruments are plugins with his piano keyboard) For the Viking and pirate and more, I suggest checking the acapella group he’s in (VoicePlay). We call them The Theater Kids of Acapella for a reason. They also do some awesome Rock covers that will surprise you.

[@hwyla4416]

Forgot to mention, he does have a video on how to sing subharmonics. In case you’re really interested in learning yourself.

[@DaneBramageROCKS]

I saw that!! spiked my curiosity.

[@DaneBramageROCKS]

AWESOME. Thanks for watching. I fully plan on diving in, I am fascinated and excit3ed to see more of his sonfs and VoicePlay. The support and enthusiasm from everyone has been amazing. Thanks again, more to come.

[@candilunsford2878]

Geoff had two songs hit 10 MILLION views in the same week-Misty Mountains and 16 Tons. There aren’t enough adjectives to describe Geoff. Check out his band VoicePlay for more ear candy. They have two songs being considered for three Grammy nominations: Hellfire and The Way You Make Me Feel. They were also contracted by the makers of the video game Warframe to reimagine Party Of Your Lifetime for this December’s upgrade. All are on KZbin and you don’t have to worry about copyrights with them since they’re independent. Welcome to the rabbit hole!!

[@vdoyne]

Sadly, VoicePlay was considered but didn't receive any nominations for the February 2025 Grammy awards but they had said that they really didn't expect to. Nominations were announced in early November. Other artists nominated them but apparently it is really hard for 100% independent groups as they are to receive nominations. (Other members of the Academy had submitted two of VoicePlay's tunes for consideration.)

[@DaneBramageROCKS]

Yeah since doing this I have learned a good deal about Geoff and Voiceplay. I'm so excited for this journey I am about to embark on. Have a lot to see and hear. Cheers, more to come.

[@vdoyne]

@@DaneBramageROCKS We'll be here for it. The great thing is, there aren't any disappointments on either channel. Just choose what appeals to you. (The production values on their newer stuff since the pandemic shutdown when they turned most of their attention to KZbin is next level as they have more time and resources now. Geoff's range has continued to expand as he ages too. Things he says about his vocal range years ago is no longer up-to-date.)

[@CynicalTesuji]

If you think he's good at Christmas, you should see him at Halloween. Or, you know, any time really- Geoff is an absolute genius, although (relatively) not terribly well known due to being a 100% independent artist. He did the arrangement, performance, filmed and edited the video (with his wife, Kathy); he more or less does everything except for the makeup and final mix. Sometimes he get some help from his VoicePlay pals, Layne Stein (who owns a video production studio) and Eli Jacobson (who does some fantastic lighting design), but check out the credits on each video because he breaks it all down there. Definitely subscribing- it's always great to see someone who recognizes a really great artist right out of the gate. Geoff- and VoicePlay- put out nothing but high quality work that is also extremely creative. If you're just a listener, you will always be surprised. If you have a musical background, you will not only be surprised but fascinated, as there are always loads of intriguing aspects of their arrangements. You're going to have so much fun on this journey, believe me.

[@DaneBramageROCKS]

Yeah, I have a handful of Halloween songs saved from him and Voiceplay. I am more than likely going to dive in and keep his songs regularly so I can get somewhat caught up. I am so excited for this journey! Thank you so much and welcome to the channel

[@laundrygoddess4]

Subbed for more Geoff and vp! You will be happy no matter what style you like because they do it all.One thing you'll love is they are independent so they do it all themselves. Arranging. Video. Lighting. Mixing. They sub out final mix and makeup when it's elaborate. So much talent

[@DaneBramageROCKS]

Yeah I think that really puts the cherry on top, the fact that they do this all internally. Kinda puts that extra special element to it. Love it. Here for it all.

VoicePlay has done 'My Mother Told told Me' and 'Valhalla Calling'. They will both blow your holiday socks off. The longstanding joke is, if you can make the windows rattle, you're a base. If your friends ask you to stand in for a Viking warhorn, you're Geoff Castellucci. Lol.

[@bjspeck4337]

Geoff turned the Carol of the Bells into a version you have never heard before. Just epic. For your info, Geoff's range is 5 octaves + 1/2 step. He is also a masterful arranger. His top tier gets spoken of, then the next tier, and the rest of us keeps his videos to an easily tended amount of time. He has an incredible group of videos he started during Covid pandemic when touring wasn't possible and VoicePlay, the acapella group that Geoff and Layne had started back in high school. The other 2 original members (Earl and Mykal) formed the basics until graduation when they added a 5th member (Scott) in 1997. A few years in and Mykal went to Broadway and Scott for an acting career (right now - Friday Night Lights). Both have come back a couple of times to join in the videos. Earl left for personal reasons about 2020. Eli is the Rock God who joined in 2010, Tony Wakim was the baritone but wanted to get into production so Tony and Layne bought a studio about 8 yrs ago, with Tony as the manager and Layne helping as necessary. Most of Geoff's solos and VoicePlay's videos are done in Pattycake Productions studio. They do everything themselves, no music labels, from arrangements (Geoff, Layne, and now Eli), staging, costuming, camera (usually one of the cameramen in Pattycake), lighting and CGI - green screens are Eli, extreme makeup, prosthetics are a friend of theirs, premix audio and video by whichever is doing the project, final mix by Ed Boyer. Voiceplay is acapella (except for 3 times over the last 25 yrs or so when he added a violin, becoming VioLayne in Warriors (Imagine Dragons), Nothing Else Matters (Metallica), and the Lion Sleeps Tonight ( Disney). Some of Geoff's solos - Far Over the Misty Mountains Cold, and I See Fire (both from the Hobbit), Song of Durin (Lord of the Rings), Folsom Prison Blues, Unshaken, Ghost Riders in the Sky). ViocePlay has Valhalla Calling, My Mother Told Me, Dragonborn Come Skyrim, I Can't Make You Love Me, Classical Chaos, Drunken Sailor, Hoist the Colors and way more. Welcome to the rabbit hole. By the way, Geoff's wife is production manager of both Geoff's and VoicePlay.

Yep, here because of the algorithm feeding me new Geoff reactions. You won't be disappointed with any of Geoff's or VoicePlay's works. I usually recommend In the Air Tonight as a first VoicePlay listen, but you can't go wrong with either viking song (My Mother Told Me and Valhalla Calling) or the pirate songs (Hoist the Colors and Drunken Sailor). VP covers so many genres, there is something for everyone. Based on the channel name, I am going to guess you like rock, so i wluld throw in a recommendation for Nothing Else Matters as well.

Voiceplay's cover of Metallica's "Nothing else matters" it's absolutely amazing considering voiceplay is an Acpella group 👍 Merry Christmas to you and yours!

[@DaneBramageROCKS]

I am ready. Merry Christmas 🎄🎁

[@Anna-pu5fo]

So much fun watching new reactors to Geoff / Voiceplay 🤣🤣. This expression of disbelief is just wonderful. Welcome to the rabbithole. The others have already mentioned everything you need to know for the beginning. I am pretty sure you will dive into both rabbitholes and everyone is highly welcomed. Whatever song you may pick is great cause you can't go wrong. And be sure that the Geoff/Voiceplayer community will guide you when needed. Btw he didn't want to do this tune, but his "Boss" (his wonderful wife Kathy) said he should do it. So happy he did this one. By now he hitted the 1M views and that is so great and well deserved.

[@DaneBramageROCKS]

Yeah this was so much fun and I'm also glad his "Boss" made him do this! So far the reply has been wonderful. So much great information and recommendations and I'm here for it all. This is gonna be a fun journey.

[@jonstrong7493]

Found your channel because of Geoff. Loved watching your reaction to his subharmonics.

[@DaneBramageROCKS]

Well, Thank you so much!! I do not fake anything, I loved this and I am so excited to see more!! Thanks for watching, more to come.

[@candybonhomme5915]

Geoff and voiceplay are awesome.

[@DaneBramageROCKS]

They totally are

[@mintygrey]

Yay! I sent you a request a couple of weeks ago on your website to do "Thriller" by VoicePlay - so I'm really glad you're covering Geoff as well!

[@DaneBramageROCKS]

Yes, I remember and I will totally do that for next year.

[@mintygrey]

I knew you hadn't forgotten - I was just really glad to see that you like Geoff!

[@DaneBramageROCKS]

@mintygrey that's an understatement 😂

[@lauriehallcolemandowns7364]

Welcome to Geoff!!! He is astonishingly great...he did ALL of this: the vocals (duh), the instrumentals, arrangement, producing, filming, and videography (I don't know the difference between the two!) To say he's a creative genius is to vastly understate the matter. Most other basses are to Geoff Castellucci as a molehill is to a mountain range. In fact another reactor compared his range to a mountain range...it's just that big and impressive! I am so in love with this rendition of this song, it's better than any I've ever heard (and far better than any I've performed myself with various groups!) Oooh! I'm so excited for you to jump down the rabbit hole with us and discover all the goodness that is Geoff and VoicePlay! You are without a doubt one of the most likable reactors out there! You also look like my cousin!🥰

[@DaneBramageROCKS]

Yeah, I am hearing a ton about his talent and the work he puts into these. Some of my favorite artists to follow, which I react to on this channel, are all KZbin artists; most have the same story. I am here for it all, and Geoff and VP will be continuous. I am so excited to jump in. Thanks so much for the compliments as well; I do have genuine reactions, and I do this for them. [Your cousin must be one good-looking dude! LOL] More to come.

[@lauriehallcolemandowns7364]

@@DaneBramageROCKS Well, as a matter of fact, all my cousins are gorgeous! So yes, it's a compliment! Oh and you mentioned Viking stuff...Check him out with VoicePlay doing Valhalla Calling! kzbin.info/www/bejne/o3qbmYOJiL-GgpY (all acapella) and Geoff's version of "I See Fire" from the Hobbit (all Geoff, don't let the various costumes fool you!) kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y5OTeYaNaKiBb6c

[@DaneBramageROCKS]

@lauriehallcolemandowns7364 Nice. Yes I have those on the list and ready to roll. Pretty excited

[@ljk5464]

Welcome to the Geoff Castellucci/Voiceplay (the accapella group he is part of) rabbit hole! You are a great reactor. Really enjoyed your face to his notes. He has a 5 octave range (b0 to an a5#).

[@DaneBramageROCKS]

Thank you so much, and welcome to the channel! I am so excited about this journey of Geoff and the VP. This is going to be fun. More to come.

[@SalymSkyeSpellwyck]

Woot! Another new fan 😊! Subbed for more Geoff and Voiceplay!! TYSM for the great reaction!!

[@DaneBramageROCKS]

Sweet! Welcome to the channel. Stoked to be part of this fan club. More to come.

[@jeanproctor3663]

I think this is the first time I've seen one of your videos, Dane and it's definitely the first time I've heard of Geoff. I was especially interested when your video came up because I used to be part of a choir a few years ago and this is one of the songs we sang in one of the Christmas shows I took part in - doesn't Geoff have an amazing voice? I really felt that deep bass in my chest! Thank you for this video and introducing Geoff to us that hadn't already heard of him, merry Christmas to you.

[@hwyla4416]

Hey Jean! Hope you enjoy discovering Geoff's channel. There's a LOT of great songs on it. I also suggest heading over to the VoicePlay channel. That's the acapella group Geoff sings Bass in. Although truly all of the members kind of refuse to 'stay in their lane'. So you will get some surprises. Lots of genre variety, too!

[@DaneBramageROCKS]

Oh wow! Made two discovered in one day, well that's fun. Hope you stick around and we can make more discoveries and jump down this rabbit hole. Gonna be fun. More to come.

[@Jaezrar]

Always great to see someone react to Geoff for the first time! He is the bass singer of VoicePlay. They are so theatrical! Subscribed in the hope to see more ;) Merry Christmas! Geoff is a wonderful artist and an amazing person. The whole group of VoicePlay is. Welcome to the rabbithole that is Geoff and VoicePlay. We are quite comfortable and snug here ^-^

[@DaneBramageROCKS]

Hi there and welcome to the channel. Yeah since doing this I have learned more than I ever thought I would and I Iove it. I promise, there will be more!

[@par500dragon7]

Geoff is incredibly creative and talented, as is the group he sings bass in: VoicePlay. They are also fabulous!

[@DaneBramageROCKS]

They are. I'm so excited to post more from both of them

[@JeanBlake-j7b]

Welcome to the Geoff/VoicePlay rabbit hole Please do VoicePlay as well 🥰 Plus I agree with all previous comments 😁

[@DaneBramageROCKS]

Thank you!! I totally am. More to come.

[@sibertiger1970]

Welcome to the wonderful world of Geoff and VoicePlay. VoicePlay are known as the theatre kids of acapella and their videos are productions.

[@DaneBramageROCKS]

I am so excited to jump into all of it!! More to come.

[@thisismetoday7423]

I’ll always be here for Geoff and VoicePlay! 😅❤

[@DaneBramageROCKS]

As will I. More to come.

[@mintygrey]

Ooh, I spotted that LOTR tattoo!! Did you know Geoff does loads of stuff from The Hobbit?! You probably see that later in the video, but I couldn't wait to tell you!

[@DaneBramageROCKS]

Oh you bet!! I learned about their LOTR covers and I am stoked to get to those as well. This is gonna be fun.

[@petraharwin9670]

The “are you kidding” accompanied by the folding of arms is a completely normal reaction to this guy. 😂 I’m glad you found him. Thanks for your reaction.

[@DaneBramageROCKS]

Yeah, I understand the shock people get when hearing for the first time......and this WILL NOT be the last time. More Geoff and VP to come! Thank you so much.

[@sarahberry4389]

Merry Christmas to you and your family!!

[@DaneBramageROCKS]

Merry Christmas to you as well! 🎄🎁⛄

[@cherylsmith3291]

❤❤ Great reaction

[@DaneBramageROCKS]

Thank you so much.

[@GeraldPage-e7u]

Great reaction! It's always fun watching the faces of folks hearing Geoff for the first time. Check out VoicepPlay's covers of Valhalla Calling Me and Metallica's Nothing Else Matters. Those two will blow your mind. 😁

[@DaneBramageROCKS]

Thank you so much and welcome to the channel. I have a bunch saved and I'm excited to hear them all. This is going to be an amazing journey. Cheers, more to come.

[@mirantideturner]

Thanks for the enjoyable reaction! I'm subscribing so I can follow your further discovery of Geoff's (and VoicePlay's) music, because you're in for a wonderful time. Geoff truly has a mesmerizing voice, and the skills to use it to its fullest effect. Soul-shaking bass singer, incredibly creative and competent arranger, and an all-around wonderful guy from all I've seen. My current Top 3 of his apart from Carol of the -Bass- Bells are: His hauntingly beautiful reimagination of "Sound of Silence" (this was _my_ "First"), the super-fun Elvis cover "Way Down" and any of the LOTR covers ...but I could keep listing evey single song! 😄 The other -vocal range monsters- guys from VoicePlay are just as multi-talented and impressive. They're fully independent (like Geoff) and cover a broad range of genres - often with amazing costumes and acting. Anything from Vikings (Valhalla Calling is _mindblowing_ and epic) and Pirates (Hoist the Colors and Drunken Sailor rock in VERY different ways) to video games (Halo Theme, The Dragonborn Comes), and from Disney (Hellfire, Be Prepared, various medleys) to Metallica (Nothing Else Matters), Billie Eilish/PitD/Queen (in 3/4/5 minutes!) and Michael Jackson (Thriller, Man in the Mirror)... Just pick whatever you're interested in! Their newest release, "Party of your Lifetime" is a bit of a stealth fave of mine - 90's boybands style with a Warframe twist.

[@DaneBramageROCKS]

Thank you so much and welcome to the channel. I have a bunch saved and I'm excited to hear them all. This is going to be an amazing journey. Cheers, more to come.

[@DTA-Music]

Here because of Geoff and VoicePlay! Great reaction! In addition to being amazing performers and just all-around awesome human beings, Geoff and his colleagues are reactor-friendly, and though they may make copyright claims they will not issue strikes or takedown notices; if their distributors are being buttheads and giving you any issues, other reactors have consistently said the guys are prompt and courteous in helping get things straightened out. It's getting hard these days to make recommendations--they've just got too much superb music to love, ranging from hard rock to Disney tunes and from slapstick to heartbreaking. Pick anything in either channel that catches your eye and I promise you will not be disappointed. Liked and subscribed, looking forward to more!

[@DaneBramageROCKS]

Sweet, thanks for watching, and welcome to the channel. I am very excited about this journey, and there is nothing to worry about, I have a great list to check out next, and this will carry on. More to come!

[@Traci2000]

He is a completely believable Viking and Pirate, lol. Definitely check out "Valhalla Calling" from VoicePlay to see Viking Geoff. Merry Christmas!! 🎄🎁 And thanks for this awesome reaction!

[@DaneBramageROCKS]

Merry Christmas, and thank you!! I am totally checking those out!! Thank you so much for watching; more to come.

[@ilonadever8249]

Voiceplay has been around with name changes since 1997. They toured extensively pre-Covid. In fact, they were on one of the cruise ships that had to stay off shore for a couple of weeks before they were allowed to come in. When the world shut down, they put all of their energy into their KZbin production. Previously, they had been using KZbin as advertising for their live shows. Geoff had a little spare time so started singing on his own channel. Check the description, you will find that he performs, arranges, produces, and edits his own work and about half of Voiceplay's. Subscribed in anticipation of more Geoff and Voiceplay.

[@DaneBramageROCKS]

I have learned so much about Geoff and Voiceplay since the release of this reaction. Fantastic support and I am so excited to dive in and see more! The back story alone and the fact they he and they do all their own arrangements is just incredible!! Thanks for watching, to be continued......

[@stevegreen6760]

For a first time experience with the dragon himself, you couldn't have picked a better one. All his stuff is amazing, this one is just a step more. Explore all his stuff along with Voice play.

[@DaneBramageROCKS]

I am going to explore all of it. I can't wait.

[@Sarah83_loves_bass]

Yes, you showed up on my feed cause of Geoff 😅 Loved your reaction ❤ Suscribed for sure ✅️

[@DaneBramageROCKS]

AWESOME. Thanks so much for watching and subbing. There will be more. And I see you're a Linkin Park fan! You'll love this channel then. Merry Christmas ⛄🎁

[@RoHogan-en8jc]

Welcome to the GC and VP rabbit hole!!!😊

[@DaneBramageROCKS]

Thank you!! 😁

[@chazyuk1]

Hi, another Geoff/VP fan here. Saw in your video list you have reacted to Twenty One Pilots, VP have done that too, it’s really good 👍

[@DaneBramageROCKS]

Ohhhh, well that's fun. I have a good deal to catch up on.

[@ShirleyLane-i2w]

You have to watch Voice Play as well. You’ll be glad you did.

[@DaneBramageROCKS]

I totally am!!

[@Wildecat10]

I’ve subscribed. I really want to see you experience VoicePlay and realize that the other guys are as talented as Geoff is. Geoff and Layne Stein (beatboxer) do most of the arranging, directing and editing, with Eli sometimes stepping in. One takes charge of most of the roles for each video. Eli does the lighting, with the lights tied into the track via midi signal so that each take is the same. And for most videos they bring in at least one ‘featured artist’ who is fantastic and sounds like they’ve always been a member of the group. I’ll recommend two videos that haven’t been mentioned to you yet: Hoist the Colours and Drunken Sailer. Possibly two sides of the same coin, but very different showing their range between serious and (one of their greatest strengths) their humor.

[@DaneBramageROCKS]

Thank you so much and welcome to the channel. I have a bunch saved and I'm excited to hear them all. Thanks so much for the recommendations, This is going to be an amazing journey. Cheers, more to come.

[@autumnwood543]

I’m watching you for the first time because of Geoff, but hope that you also get to the group he is a part of VoicePlay, you will enjoy both. Welcome to the rabbit hole 🐇 😊

[@DaneBramageROCKS]

yup, already did!! I should have it up soon! Thank you so much for watching, more to come!

[@xboxbml]

Yeah.. Viking?... VoicePlay Valhalla Calling!.. he's the bass in that acapella group

[@DaneBramageROCKS]

Yeah I have come to learn about this! Im here for it all. More to call.

[@chrisbenefield7192]

Glad to see new people find Geoff. Hope you continue down the rabbit hole with him and voiceplay. You have my subscription brother.

[@DaneBramageROCKS]

Totally will. Actually, already have! Those videos should be up soon

[@jonadabtheunsightly]

Yes, if you want to hear him do Viking things, check out VoicePlay's acapella cover of Valhalla Calling. Geoff sings bass in that one, and it is definitely very Viking themed. Although Halloween is their superpower.

[@DaneBramageROCKS]

Yes, most requested song and I am doing that one next!! I'm so excited.

[@yeetusxmaximus]

it's not a christmas song but you need to check out his "i see fire" cover. you'll be surprised by his range.

[@DaneBramageROCKS]

Deal. Thank you.

[@vdoyne]

Thanks for this reaction to Geoff's epic Christmas release. It’s been out a little over two weeks and exceeded one million KZbin views yesterday. I have run out of superlatives! A five octave vocal range is a powerful thing. I enjoy the unexpected ways that Geoff arranges music nearly as much as his vocals. Judging by his album art, the Geoffquakes did some damage! I will like, subscribe, and always be here for more of Geoff's solo work, or for VoicePlay (he's a founding member since 1997). VoicePlay toured extensively until the pandemic shut the world down when Geoff started his solo uploads and VoicePlay turned to KZbin for monthly uploads. The older three VoicePlay guys are married with young children so never resumed touring. Geoff and VoicePlay have many fans who regularly search out reactions to their work. Hoping for more soon!

[@DaneBramageROCKS]

Thank you so much for watching, and welcome to the channel. I have a good handful of Geoffs and Voiceplay songs ready to roll to standby for more!! Cheers.

[@b.w.9816]

Oh, you definitely need to check out VoicePlay. Some of my favorites are Hoist The Colors, Valhalla Calling, The Dragonborn Comes, and their cover of Metallica's Nothing Else Matters.

[@DaneBramageROCKS]

Oh, I totally will! Already have a handful lined up. So excited. To be continued...

[@toddwright3619]

You should react to him with Voiceplay doing Valhalla Calling.

[@DaneBramageROCKS]

So if your tattoo is what I think it is, you need to check out Far Over Misty Mountains Cold, I See Fire, and Song of Durin.

[@DaneBramageROCKS]

Yo! Good eye and it's exactly what that is. I will 100% get to those. I have so many videos of his saved now, I'm so excited. Merry Christmas ⛄🎁

[@vdoyne]

@@DaneBramageROCKS Check out Geoff's Middle Earth tunes in the order she listed above. Geoff is costumed as Thorin, Fili, Kili, and Bofur in the first two and then again as ghosts in Song of Durin, adding a 5th dwarf character, Gimli. Geoff has assigned each of these characters a specific vocal part in those. If first introduced to Geoff in these videos, sometimes reactors don't realize (immediately or even at all) that it's all one man. As Geoff does his own arranging, instrumentation, and video editing, you can see that he is a man of many talents and not all of them vocal.

[@maya276]

And Merry Christmas dear Dane❄️
