Vocal Coach reacts to Geoff Castellucci-“Headless Horseman”

[@ToOliver22]

Geoff has worked at both Walt Disney World and Universal Studios for many years. I believe all of Voiceplay has too. That's why for the Grinch video they were able to get the actual actor used in the theme park to play the Grinch and if I am not mistaken they got help from the actual makeup artist(s) used by the studio as well. If you haven't reacted to that, put it on your list for Christmas.

[@daniellemariesings]

Oh wow!!!! That is amazing !! Thank you!!

[@OpposingPony]

I agree, you should watch it! It's awesome and the makeup is phenomenal.

[@jimcoogan1529]

Voiceplay has also been working with Broadway shows doing arrangements and videos for marketing. In addition they have also done arranging for the other a capella groups.

[@jimcoogan1529]

Rachel Potter also sang at Disney World. Small world.

[@marshayoung9387]

@@jimcoogan1529 Geoff's wife Kathy worked side by side with Geoff in some earlier shows.

[@tracyz9155]

I love the drops on this one. Most of VoicePlay have worked at the Orlando theme parks earlier in their lives. Geoff mentioned that he was once a Frankenstein. Thanks for your reaction

[@bryanbullock4595]

Geoff actually played Frankenstein or wolfman, cant remember, in Universal Studios Betelgeuse Graveyard review musical show before they stopped it to make the fast and the furious ride. Also, voiceplay made a cover of Grimm Grinning Ghosts from Disneys Haunted Mansion. Voiceplay is based in Orlando where Disney is

[@Debs_Badger]

He was Frankenstein's monster.

[@marshayoung9387]

Yes, Frankenstein & his wife Kathy also played the bride of Frankenstein along side of him.

[@johnpoole4985]

Hey Ms. Danielle! When you mentioned Geoff voice acting, I remembered he reads short stories and posts them on KZbin. Voiceplay has never done Thriller to my knowledge, but I'm sure they'll do it at some point. Also, did you catch that the heads were singing in head voice? That's an awesome musical pun if there ever was one. Great reaction!

[@trishaurvan9439]

Geoff is just a force of nature.

[@atomknight8361]

He purposely put his sound forward because it was a Thurl Ravenscroft cover

[@jamesbrannon2356]

I cant believe noone has pointed out Geoffs heads singing in their "head voice"...

[@RedRoseSeptember22]

Lol good catch :D

[@bjspeck4337]

Groan or is that grin? Good pun.

[@rickieodem488]

VoicePlay has done live shows for Disney in various venues, including for the cruise ships. I agree Geoff would be an awesome casting choice for either animated or live action roles! Love you Danielle!

[@Brainreaver79]

with me absolutely despising the live action movies id prefer him in a good animated one

[@donnilloyd1355]

I bet that you would like his "Monster Mash" video too. Pay attention when you do see it. You'll ask a question, and the answer,,,,, will wait until you watch it. GREAT Post, Danielle Marie.

[@donnilloyd1355]

Of course you have seen Monster Mash already. I went to your page and watched it again and remembered the reaction that you gave. It was awesome. And you did ask the question. But for people that have not seen it yet, WATCH IT!!!

[@chlistens7742]

funny you should mention haunted mansion... you do know a few years ago Voiceplay did Grim Grinning Ghosts ... i know its after Halloween but since you mentioned you wanted to see them do Haunted Mansion

[@mathowle1109]

2:08 yes... as an amateur bass singer myself I find that keeping the tone as far forward into the mask as possible is what is required to get those low frequency tones. Especially when dealing with subharmonics. If the tone gets to far into the chest the tone falls apart.

[@mikerogers6076]

This is Geoff's homage to his idol, the late great Thurl Ravenscroft (the original voice of Tony the Tiger, the singer of You're a Mean One Mr. Grinch as well as singer and/or narrator for multiple Disney projects including this very song). Somewhere on YT there is a video of the two played side by side for comparison.

[@mitchellb4551]

as stated vioceplay is all from Orlando and all the members did time at Orlando theme parks (Cesar possibly not withstanding). during Geoff's time he played oggie Boggy in a now defunct stage show (some clips still exist however knowing if it is Geoff is impossible.) Geoff also does some book narrations on his channel from time to time so there is that.

[@Debs_Badger]

Actually, Cesar played Wolfman in the Beetlejuice show as well, *after* Geoff's tenure though.

[@mitchellb4551]

@@Debs_Badger ok didn't know that

[@cyndisanimaladventures6370]

Everyone is mentioning that he worked doing Frankenstein at Universal but I think his wife also worked as Mrs. Frankenstein.

[@Debs_Badger]

Yep! Kathy was "The Bride" in the Beetlejuice show for a time.

[@Broomrider1492]

He has a whole list of narrations he does.

[@bethelliot7140]

Yes my special favourite is The Little Mermaid by Geoff 😍🤗

[@bkm83442]

In this one Geoff is changing his normal singing voice to pay homage to Thurl Ravencroft who originally sang this song for Disney.

[@TheStandar14]

Most of this is true as far as I know. However, Bing Crosby originally sang this for Disney, Thurl Ravencroft dubbed over it for the rerelease later.

[@JamesHuggett_]

Geoff does "far over the misty mountains" from The Hobbit, it's incredible.

[@DennisKovacich]

I don’t know about “Thriller,” but he does that laugh in VoicePlay’s cover of “Grim Grinning Ghosts.”

[@stanbannmusic8334]

Geoff has discussed his admiration for Thurl Ravenscroft who was one of Disney's top singers / voiceover actors. Thurl was "The Grinch". He was "Tony the Tiger". His voice is everywhere in the Disney theme parks. If there is such a thing as a vocal doppelganger Geoff and Thurl are such things. Here's a side by side of Geoff and Thurl doing "Headless Horsemen". The parallels are uncanny! Enjoy! kzbin.info/www/bejne/gpqcomSmbcuKbtk

[@siegfriedherrmann6212]

Happy Easter Danielle: Hope you and your family are having a great holiday! Just wanted to bring it to your attention that Geoff..is just released his version of "AINT NO SUNSHINE"..originally..by Bill withers..It is EPIC in my humble opinion and i would love for you to watch and react to it for your comments and analysis! Take care!

[@Mike_1947]

I adore Goeff voice! If you like bass voice’s, you could check out Tim Storms singing Lonesome Road.

[@neilsArmsAreStrong]

So spooky good! Keep it up!

[@marshayoung9387]

Geoff said in an interview that his favorite role to play is the villain.

[@mariegreen9076]

Your reaction to Goeffs low base voice was awesome XD good luck with your subscribers girl.

[@billparrish4385]

I especially like how the 'backup trio' sang this in their best 'head voices'.... 😎

[@b1gg1n1]

*guitar power chord* YYYYYEEEEAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!

[@sofibaramidze1017]

Hello coach💓 I think you should try to react Georgian voices and Bobby McFerrin❤❤❤

[@madclowndisease4007]

I love your reactions. you're always so excited and energetic. If I may, I'd like to recommend "If I were a rich man" by Voiceplay from Fiddler on the Roof. It's one of my favorites!

[@craftymissfit6007]

I would love to see you react to Geoff's cover of Radiohead's High and Dry

[@thomasfarr7934]

Hi Danielle! Geoff Castellucci just released his cover of Ain't No Sunshine. You absolutely have to react to it!! It is awesome!

[@pshore73]

I love your reactions! You need to react to Geoff's cover of Sixteen Tons.

[@ad9aggie]

If you want to hear his BGV range, try Country Roads, Take Me Home. There is a point where you will swear it is Austin from Home Free in the background. The Beatles' Blackbird is also good for this. Great reaction, again!. #subscriptionsquad

[@DennisKovacich]

I sent that to my ex-wife, who’s a lifelong John Denver fan, and her response was, “Where did that BASS come from. He such a skinny dude! Nice! Thanks.”

[@marshayoung9387]

@@DennisKovacich Geoff isn't skinny, he's perfect ,& his son keeps him in shape.

[@DennisKovacich]

@@marshayoung9387, that was my ex calling him skinny. Maybe she just expected someone to need a larger “echo chamber” chest to produce that voice.

Geoff does a lot of readings as well. You should definitely check out his cover of “Shenandoah”! ….and there are many more!

[@gilliandrysdale5306]

voiceplay haven’t done thriller but there is a video of them with Homefree doing Zombies versus Hillbillies which is pretty cool

[@vdimasteremeritus]

“Bass singer cover” - this song was originally performed by Thurl Ravenscroft - a true bass who was a Disney legend of the 50-70s - and also the original voice of Tony the Tiger. Thurl also performed the original “You’re a mean one, Mr. Grinch”. This cover was an homage to him.

[@cherylsmith3291]

Valhala calling is one of my favorites

[@daviddavison3970]

Geoff has a great voice for telling ghost stories

[@janfigiel2738]

You should react to "the bass gang" it is an acapella group with only bass singers. You should check their cover of Emperors New Clothes from Panic At The Disco. It's amazing.

A fun thing to notice as well is all the other heads are singing with their head voice or falsetto cause they have no body to make a chest voice!

[@sophie28ism]

Disney already knows bout VOICEPLAY [accapello] with Geoff Castellucci. The y do, The Little Mermaid, Moana Medley, Oogie Boogie's song. Even the the Grinch!!!

[@Chrissnox]

I’m late to the party but what you should listen to (not necessarily react to) is his reading of the Raven by Edgar Allan Poe. I usually listen to it to help my brain shut off at night to help fall asleep

[@MichaelDawson03]

As other's have said, Disney is well aware of Geoff. I saw Geoff and VoicePlay at Magic Kingdom on the stage in Tomorrow Land back in 2016 doing a Christmas show. Geoff also did a great job with Grim Grinning Ghosts several years ago. kzbin.info/www/bejne/eGa3io1ufNaNmLc

Hi Danielle, Gigi de Lana's Through the Fire/Piano in the Dark is also incredible. I hope you could also add some Korean singers to your rotation: 1) Sohyang's (also a gospel singer) Bridge Over Troubled Water, Immortal Song version- you'll be amazed at her range and voice. Then follow with Arirang Alone, You Raise me up, Lean on me, I Will Always Love you, I Have Nothing, Misty, and end with Everyone. You will get the full gamut of what she's capable of, much like Mori. 2) Park HyoShin's Wildflower, Yu Huiyeol Sketchbook version- super emotional song he wrote about confronting difficult issues. Best male singer in Korea. 3) MAMAMOO's Killing Voice by Dingo Music. 15 minutes of their greatest hits and harmonies ( Eargasm ahead). 4) Big Mama's Killing Voice is also great! #subscriptionsquad
