I’ve sang subharmonics for a long time now, and gotta say-the amount of BEEF, like raw power and clarity you’re able to give the D1-G1 in the line at 1:38 is insane. I’m lucky if I can make those notes louder than a pin drop. Do teach us your ways!

[@danielstephens1185]

He keeps dropping! Uh to address your request, check the channel. He does have a video explaining how he does it. Quick explanation is take the lowest note you can sing loudly, hold it, and while holding it, relax your stomach muscles. The note should drop lower.

[@nathanwahl9224]

Same thing I was thinking. After warmup I can get an audible G1, but nothing fortissimo until about a B1 or so. Sometimes a sub E1 or even a D1 will pop out loudly, but I cannot figure out how to do it consistently.

[@karenponchak5304]

Ironically, in the recordings, some tracks (usually background vocals) are doubled. I do believe the lead is not doubled.... mainly because I've heard him (as a patron) in chats literally just randomly drop a sub, or two, or three....and they are audible even when he's three feet or so from the microphone.

A Christmas song, actually a Ukrainian New Year song, has often been interpreted and sung. But this wonderful bass version lets me hear this song in a completely new way. And since I heard it for the first time on patreon, I've been humming it all day.

The split second pause around 3:13 was epic Geoff.

[@stonegaming6204]

Anyone else absolutely love how the sounds of the fire crackling didn't immediately cut out when he started singing?

[@jairus421]

I've watched this I don't know how many times, and watched several reactors. No one mentions that sweet vocal fry at 0:57. It's amazing. Also it took several times through to realize that the melody is playing in the orchestration behind those epic parts at 1:40 and 3:14. That break right before 3:14 is a precursor to shock and awe. This arrangement is the best thing that has happened in the history of arrangements. It's impossible not to get carried away in the vocals and not realize until after many listenings just how much is there. Brilliant, Geoff!

Geoff, unknowingly, made a wonderful gift for my birthday. It's an amazing arrangement with so many low notes, just the way I like it.

Happy birthday 😊

MAJESTIC! Ding dong, ding dong, ding DOOOOOOONG! This is not how I imagined the sound of little "sweet silver bells" but I think this was the shake our world needed to become a better place and I love it!!! Thank you for that, sir! Merry Christ MAAAAAS to you!

[@janetdw]

I just figured that Geoff has really big bells. 😉. 🔔🌲🔔🌲🔔

I LOVE carol of the bells, it's one of my favorite Christmas songs! I'm literally 30 seconds in and I already know I'm gonna love this and loop it all evening!

It's Christmas time. Imagine a knock on your door. It's a single Christmas caroler who's upholding an old tradition--singing for others at the holidays. You open the door and the caroler smiles; it's Geoff Castellucci. He sings Carol of the Bells. You are transfixed. Christmas will never be the same for you--or anyone else who hears his version of Carol of the Bells. God bless us, everyone--and especially Geoff!

I have to say that’s probably the lowest bass voice I’ve heard! 😲🤗 Absolutely stunning sound ❤

[@janetdw]

Unbelievably there are singers who can sing lower, but none of them have that beautiful tone that he has. Somebody described it as honey poured over thunder. But I have to admit I love his higher range as well.

[@The-Sneaky-Vampire]

This man's got some giant brass... uh... bells. Seriously though, the best word I can think of to describe this is EPIC.

[@vgs3707]

This is absolutely epic! With love from Ukraine ❤

[@ericmorrison278]

Good lord... This is a master class on how years of dedication, practice, and ginuene talent can colminate into a masterpiece. Geoff... My guy... Wow... Like I truly don't have words to say...

[@ValeryChobik]

Такого варіанту української народної пісні Щедрик я ще не чула! Дуже круто!!!

[@hollyschmadl3186]

That is my all time favorite Christmas song, doesn't matter what version the volume gets cranked up. Wow he did such an acceptional rendition, absolutely beautiful. 😊

[@AuntieSingeA]

Also, I can't handle how abruptly it ends. It needs to go on for another minute to an hour. Woof.
