DEEPEST BASS IN THE BIZ?! Geoff Castelucci - Sixteen Tons | Reaction

[@christinestromberg4057]

I think the three major bass singers in acapella are more or less equal in depth. It's not worth arguing about. But it's the smooth rich tone that sets Geoff apart. He has worked hard on his range for years and does all the arrnaging, filming and editing, it's pretty spectacular to see what one man can do, with a little help from his wife Kathy. Maybe try his Blackbird, or Shenendoah. Or Ain't No Sunshine. Actually God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen is one to catch too, something quite different.

This is the bass singer for VoicePlay. Their arrangement of the Halo theme really showcases how low he can go

[@ilonadever8249]

Thanx for showing the closed captioning! He sometimes uses humor, like at the end when the captions say (Super dramatic bend to a low F#). He also describes what's happening, like in Ain't No Sunshine - Geoff humming, Geoff harmonizing, haunting pensive music. I think the reason for the detailed description is because his wife, Kathy, has profound hearing loss, so he is very conscious of the difficulties some people have in listening to his music. Really enjoyed this reaction, thanx for sticking with Geoff and Voiceplay.

[@patriciaschuman4205]

Another reason he "knows" exactly what each part is doing is because he also arranged this, an achievement in itself to bring something new to the song while remaining faithful to the original. Not quite sure how you can gush so much about him throughout the song and then say you don't care for his lead voice though.

Thanks for you reaction! Love Geoff and Voice Play!

[@natebaker3672]

Geoff is a huge Take 6 fan. In a recent webchat, he said any ranking of acapella groups has to start with Take 6 at the top.

[@Broomrider1492]

This Tennessee Earnie Ford song is the first one of his that I saw that drug me down the Geoff Castellucci / Voiceplay rabbit hole. Then It took us fans a year of begging to get him to do Big Bad John by Jimmy Dean.

[@rmdewberry2482]

Love Geoff's work so much. Love VoicePlay, too. I can't get enough! XD

[@christopherdalton7983]

Try there ain't no sunshine when she gone by Geoff castellucci u'll love it

[@TheJoshuaPimentel]

Never heard this guy but the salt shaker fell off the back of the stove.

[@Traci2000]

🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@b.buster.]

Looking forward to your review of Blackbird by Geoff.

[@mynamejeffSEI]

Please check out Blackbird by Geoff he shows more of his range and the song is powerful.

[@troymclain9441]

You should see him do the Headless Horseman

[@Angus4277]

Hey Van, If you haven't already done it you should consider reacting to Geoff Castelucci's cover of Big Bad John. It is amazing.

[@Doc903]

His cover of House of the Rising Sun is my favorite. My Nitpick for this song is he changes a Lyric. It's supposed to be "If the right one don't get you, then the left one will", but he switches it. it's weird, but still nice.

[@xxnyaxx269]

maybe it’s harder to sing words starting with L than R in a lower register? cause with L you have more tongue movement, tho idk…

[@The-Angry-Vet]

Bro love you posts! 6 no ago I tried singing deep for the first time I couldn’t sing any of Jeoff songs now I can match him not for note except for 1 note and I almost have it.

[@stevebuckskinner5482]

The original singer was Tennessee Ernie Ford.

[@georgediperna3155]

Tennessee Ernie Ford makes this kid sound like a singing soprano. So fam even if you don't react to him, just check it out later

[@UFCSTAN]

I watched an opera singer match his tone on piano… he literally hits an A1 in one of his videos. Fucking insane. That’s almost at the end of the keys. You trying to match his notes is literally me 😂😂😂 I’m a woman. I could never and will never hit these notes but I tried all damn day anyways.

[@KingHarry1]

Jeff’s Base-os… lol nice word play bro

[@dereksandlin8220]

You have to check out his ant no sunshine cover

[@georgediperna3155]

Fam. I just looked back in your past cast and you reacted to Tennessee Ernie Ford 2 months ago. You put out so many your losing your mind. Love your cast.

[@johndeeregreen4592]

Definitely not the deepest bass out there... just the best at it, in my opinion.

[@stormrider4477]

If you're a bass singer fan you should check out The Bass Gang! I love Geoff, Tim, and Avi, but you can definitely never have enough bass!

[@janetdw]

Their recent release of Mad World is amazing.

[@colonelb]

This is really good, that is even deeper than the original, although the original Tennessee Ernie Ford's version is still my favorite - was gonna link it here but found you already reacted to it (kzbin.info/www/bejne/eZzYkpeGebyfhdE). Johnny Cash also did a more fast-paced cover of it here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qpfTY4Jvdqmqfc0

[@anthonys239]

Check out tim foust will you still love me tomorrow. It’s a trip!🤠

[@battygirlrachel]

You should hear the Tennessee Ernie Fords version... love him

[@lisazaccardimeunier8378]

Check out the Statler Brothers bass.

[@trishaurvan9439]

Harold Reid...love him! Met him several times. I live in The Statler Brothers hometown

[@scottlovesplayingbass3495]

Tim Faus ain’t no joke either

[@jolenewitzel7919]

❤❤❤❤❤

[@scottlovesplayingbass3495]

You should check out Homefree End of The Road

[@mynamejeffSEI]

Please react to geoff's cover of Black Bird. He shows more range.

[@karlschmitt6359]

I know you're familiar with Home Free, please check out Mayday and Brothers In Arms! Thank you!

[@stevebuckskinner5482]

I believe he is the bass singer for Home Free.

[@acorrado5529]

No, he is the bass singer for Voice Play.

[@gailseatonhumbert]

Arguable statement you made. Tim Foust (Homefree) may have Geoff beat in sheer lower notes and Tim Storms definitely does. Elliott Robinson is another. I think the point with all these singers is they are very rare and the good ones need to be encouraged. P. S. They don't compete against each other. Pentatonix I assume you're talking about Avi Kaplan because their current bass singer Matt is not an actual bass. Avi's voice hasn't fully matured yet. He just entered his 30s and 40 is when a bass voice matures. Geoff uses subharmonics to achieve his lowest notes and neither Tim nor Avi do. Comparisons can't really be made. You like Geoff the best. Others of us prefer Avi or Tim Foust.

[@Alasterius41]

Geoff has a lower Chest voice than Tim Foust (I mean full chest voice without fry), but yes, Tim storms is definitely lower. Geoff uses subharmonics to achieve even lower notes than what he can achieve with his chest voice and Tim Foust uses growl techniques to achieve the lowest notes

[@bobkitten8150]

Merle Travis wrote and performed the original version, and he wasn't a bass.

[@GeekZone210]

I would say God would have a bass voice, not Moses.

[@moLOTOv-ju4gw]

Tim Storms gets crazy deep, tone is great but not up to the phenomenal Geoff

[@michellehubbard7865]

"MISTY MOUNTAINS "PETER HOLLENS,TIM FOUST, TIM IS BASS FOR HOME FREE, SEE HOW LOW TIM CAN GO,SONG FROM THE HOBBIT, YOU WILL LOVE IT,TRUST ME,I think tim can go lower in this song

[@acorrado5529]

Love Tim too but as Geoff gets older his bass gets deeper and his recent releases are so low. Tim use to be deeper and Geoff always considered himself to be a baritone but Geoff has managed to keep his beautiful high range as his voice deepens.

[@chatter7653]

Home Free dude can go lower

[@kennethwolff6082]

No he's good but he's nothing compared to Tim foust of home Free

[@evanmiller4502]

Yeah he's way better than Tim
