GEOFF CASTELLUCCI Unshaken - Red Dead Redemption 2 | Vocal Coach Reaction (& Analysis)

[@JenniferGlatzhofer]

I was definitely left SHAKEN! 😂 There's so much to talk about in this one, make sure you have your notebooks out! did I mention that I'm selling notebooks now in my merch shop? Check it out - www.etsy.com/shop/glatzhoferjennifer/?etsrc=sdt

[@alyssadaniels7841]

I totally agree that Geoff’s voice has opened up more. His upper chest and mixed belts are so solid all the time now, I think because he’s using it more often in both his own music and VP’s. Not that they weren’t before now, but the power, sustainability, and tone are stellar currently!

[@JenniferGlatzhofer]

Exactly!

[@wh15p]

Absolute vocal envy !!

[@rmdewberry2482]

Agree! I love High & Dry and Blackbird, but Geoff's current tone and quality is stunning. ❤‍🔥

[@kandacek63]

He’s also older now, which tends to deepen the voice.

[@WilliamRoop-xt6rp]

Anyone who has listened to Geoff before aren't surprised by the notes he hits here... They are familiar. The new part is the agility he has (something not USUALLY used in reference to a bass singer) in putting together the runs, bounces, and sudden shifts from note to note. It seems insane that anyone can, in 1 breath, bounce from deep chest, up to 1st passage, back down and then drop into subharmonic sounding bass. His practice sessions and warmups must be both terrifying and wonderful to hear.

[@leechowning2712]

He seems to have decided to show most of his tricks all in one video, which is both impressive and terrifying.

[@ljt974]

This is one of those that you can just tell will become a Geoff classic. He never misses, but this one hit even better than usual, I’m so glad you got to chance to break this one down so we can appreciate it even more!

[@Cordelia53]

I love the fact that he said these are the Ghost Riders before they died, and he let them do this song without his supervision. I absolutely love this cover. I had to look up the original by D'Angelo, but this is far superior IMO. Those low notes rumble in my chest. Also, Daryl is the one in the Duster, and they are in front of Daryl's Cafe...lol. Great Reaction Jen!!

[@rhov-anion]

No Geoff supervision may be HOW they became the Ghost Riders.

[@Swan-yo6hn]

I don't think I've ever heard anyone say Geoff is "belting his little heart out"... 🤣🤣

[@martymiller9802]

It is pretty hilarious. :)

[@Badger77722]

I've never put those two phrases together before, but it seems to fit in this case!

[@JenniferGlatzhofer]

Hahah but he is!! 😁

[@leechowning2712]

"Did I... (insert stupidly low note here)... hear you break?"... Yes, Geoff. Not just me either. Just about every reaction I have seen so far to this. I am convinced somebody said "he has low notes, but he does not sustain them" where he could hear them... an this is his answer to that.

[@GreenJeans1966]

Thanks again for sharing time on your channel for Geoff. Ever consider interviewing Geoff for your channel? Believe there is an opportunity waiting for you.

[@richardlaundon]

Well I don't think I have ever seen you so speechless with a Geoff song before. It was like the brain just couldn't work out quick enough what was going on and I was waiting for a resigned "Whatever!" and just sitting in silence lol

[@JenniferGlatzhofer]

Hahah! So much going on!

[@christinestromberg4057]

These are, of course, the Ghost Riders, just before they became ghosts. :) This time unaccomoanied by Geoff himself. They've done a spoof advert for Daryl's coffee bar, shared by Huldra Draco. Geoff used to sing more nasally than he does now. I don't hear it much at al now. Oh and what abiout that hand synchronisation LOL

[@KaaSerpent]

Do you have a link to Huldra Draco's share of this? I have looked at her channel and it's not jumping out at me. :)

[@mrkraemer77722]

@KaaSerpent It's in Huldra's Shorts section, so it may not be showing up in her Videos. Look for a thumbnail with a clone holding a cup of coffee.

[@KaaSerpent]

@@mrkraemer77722OMG. That is hilarious. Thank you!

[@jairus421]

I feel like I just attended a double Masterclass. One on 3 octave chest voice, and one on reaction and analysis. This wasn't one of my favorite Geoff pieces as I was unfamiliar with the song until I saw how you reacted and broke it down. You're the best at this, Jen!

[@JenniferGlatzhofer]

Oh thank you so much! ❤

[@raycardy4843]

Great reaction and analysis, Jen! Love seeing you get blown away by this one, one of his best IMO! He found this unused set at Pattycake, it was perfect for this song, Eli did a stellar job with the lighting (as usual!) - not only me, but I think my neighbours were left shaken the first time I heard this! ☺

[@JenniferGlatzhofer]

Haha thank you! And for sure!

[@ilonadever8249]

My favorite "bit" in this one was the "Here we go." If he had used his formula bag of tricks it would have been "C"mon." Here we go shook me more than almost anything else.

[@jairus421]

I've really been missing the "C'mon's" of late as well. I mean, he managed to work it into White Christmas even.....

[@laundrygoddess4]

Geoff has always been my favourite bass not because he goes lower but because with his precise diction, I can actually understand what he's singing. Not all bass singers can do that.

[@bar9092]

I'm not sure i've seen you so gobsmacked before. It was fun to see you trying to put those thoughts into a coherent sequence. Usually, you know exactly where you're going. This time, well, not so much. But your love for the music, the arrangement, the voice, still shine despite Geoff kinda smacking you in the head with the completely unexpected ❤

[@katthor7311]

Love your insights here, Jen. Geoff really did outdo himself in this one.

[@hollyryalsgrubb1273]

If you think he's gone rouge in this one, search for the advertisement for Daryll's Cafe that Geoff's clones made after singing Unshaken.

[@Jennifer_J_C]

Oh Jen, you do make me smile 😊 I think we were all a bit shaken by this one. Thanks for another great R&A ... your bass notes 😃 Did you realise these are the Ghost Riders before they died?

[@JenniferGlatzhofer]

😱😱

[@hwyla4416]

@@JenniferGlatzhofer I'm a bit surprised just how much difference those blue contacts in "Ghost Riders" made. It took me, I think, about 4 watches before I could realize why they look less familiar than I expected.

[@PiaNurmi-y8v]

The overall sound and motive is very much from Sergio Leone's Western movies. As this is from a game in the old wild west, it's very fitting.

[@creationsbychancecan]

Wow Jen. You almost hit some of those low notes. Geoff's low notes vibrate my bones every time. He has been getting lower and higher in his range too. Love your reactions and analysis Jen.

[@JenniferGlatzhofer]

Haha getting there😂

[@creationsbychancecan]

😃Thanks!

[@JenniferGlatzhofer]

Thanks so much!

[@lonniegilchrest9236]

Hey Jen, I thoroughly enjoyed both the Jeff and Jen in this reaction video. The low notes were superb by you and Jeff. I sang along with the song. Being a low bass myself I found the go to low notes he did was done very well and is very comfortable. I never was able to do the high notes but I didn't need them that much in Opera. Keep up what you are doing and God Bless .😁😇😁

[@edmitchell528]

Your reactions always make me laugh. So much information and yet still giddy when something happens you’re not expecting. Love it.

[@kyokonightstorm5844]

There is just something about low notes that appeals to us all. I saw another reactor say Geoff's low notes are therapeutic and it reminded me of cats purring. The frequency of a cat purr has actually been found to help speed up healing (that's why they lay on you and purr when you don't feel well or are injured). I believe that Geoff's low notes have a very similar effect. They heal you down to the soul.

[@ericzeichert511]

Unshaken, but stirred

[@FLNatureGuy]

One of my favorite reactions, Jen. You made my day! Love the experimentation by Geoff. I've noticed a difference with his music this year and I am very excited to see what he creates this year. Thankfully, I will have you to break it down for me. Thanks!

[@JenniferGlatzhofer]

Ah thank you!

[@rhov-anion]

What a wonderful and insightful reaction! As an instrumentalist, I love learning more about singing from you. You're so right, we never get to a point where we stop learning and honing in our craft. My mentor is 73, and as he says, "I've been playing for 60 years. I think I'm starting to get the hang of it." I love that mentality. Cheers!

[@Broomrider1492]

Just Goff, Daryl, Jeoph, and Jeff in this one. Geoff trusted Daryl to keep the boys in line as he was letting them do this on their own and unsupervised.

[@wh15p]

SIR!! Shades of DJ410 coming through there 😁

[@JenniferGlatzhofer]

😂😂

[@thewrenchreviews9986]

Just love it when you come across something that shocks or amazes you and your eyes go wide. Truly genuine reaction.

[@kbrown4804]

I’ve been waiting for you to do this song since he released it. Love your reactions to his voice.

[@jenniferwalker5980]

Just love you and your emotions, the facial expressions just kill me. Thanks for giving us such a great reaction and analysis.

[@takashihernandez4298]

i really hope you can collab with geoff in the future

[@martymiller9802]

Hi Jen, so sorry I missed the premier. Thank you again!

[@b.buster.]

Wonder if Daryll will get his own channel soon?

[@Aussiecris214]

Good Morning Jen ❤❤From Australia

[@DeansMayhem]

As I've said before, I just love it when you try to replicate low notes of Geoff or Tim. And of course your analysis is right up there among the best.

[@davidh.4649]

Jennifer! Ashamed that I'm this far behind but I'm workin' it now! Where is your cowboy hat!? 🤠 Yeah at 13:56 "We can always be learning and growing and improving our voice ..." as you have demonstrated with your expanded lower range that you now treat us to in your singing! And as Jen would say "we are here for it!" 😊 Still, Geoff is hitting you with an awful lot of low notes in this one. At 14:55 I think what you're trying to say is that nasal quality is just another tool in the singer's tool chest to use in singing to achieve an effect. Of course it isn't negative. Any additional tools in a singer's "vocal toolbox" just adds to the complexity of the vocal picture they can paint! Off soapbox. 😁Yes that was a great video. Loved the set! And for the record Jen was shaken, not stirred. 😂 Awesome reaction and analysis as always Jen.

[@JenniferGlatzhofer]

Ahaha yes exactly!! Thank you😁

[@Badger77722]

Love the reaction, as always! This one has a lot more to unpack than it first appears! That acoustic guitar in the opening always gives me Sergio Leone flashbacks - I could really see this (probably just an instrumental) showing up in one of the old spaghetti westerns!

[@austindermody302]

Great reaction Jen! Love the new intro!

[@johnpittsii7524]

Hi Jennifer hope you are having an great and awesome weekend ❤

[@kellytressler7671]

Yes! Everything you said! Just....yes!!❤❤❤

[@pzycho_reclas1794]

Geoff's voice and the agility he has has grow exponentially in the last few years it's absolutely amazing and wonderful!!!! Note on the video these are the Ghost Rider's before they passed on to the cattle ranch on the sky!

[@scottbenda9931]

Always great breakdowns. Your subs are getting better when you're not concentrating on them

[@jamesjones8482]

I really enjoy your reactions! Keep-up the good work. ❤

[@jonathanwetherell3609]

I can appreciate and enjoy the music of male voices but there is just something attractive in the female voice. Perhaps this is just the man in me? If so, then the deep male voice attracting women makes sense. This one is Geoff being ultra Geoff. Love it.

[@eriklind8489]

Thank you for a great reaction.

[@ThalesMusicCorner]

Great reaction as always. It's such an awesome song. 😃❤ Thank you for this ☺

[@thomasfarr7934]

I believe that this is Geoff's best cover! Thank you!

[@Starrynightdiner]

You were adorable in this reaction ❤

[@MikeBass4456]

11:59 You switching to the other side and staring intently at Geoff caught me off guard 😂. Keep practicing those lows Jen, you hit them better when not trying too much, relax and let them flow 😃.

Im always unprepared for 4:29 even though ive heard this song easily 100+ times not including when i loop Also i replay19:45 like atleast 20 times when i listen to this Definitely my favourite Geoff Castellucci cover.

[@aaronmessick9143]

Honestly, I think Geoff put the same passion into this cover that Rockstar put into the game.

[@annabanana2764]

love it that you freaked out about this like me XD

[@masaniazura2131]

A study and journey into the bass persona...that only Geoff et al can do...

[@Taakebanke]

If you like deep voices etc you should really check out Hoist the Colours By Bobby Bass where he colabs with different people from tiktoc. It's some of the deepest voices i've ever heard is on that song. Can't link it cause youtube will just delete the comment

[@DavidGant-k1h]

Hello Jen, I have just watched your reaction to Jeff Castellucci‘version of Unbroken,It’s one of your very best reactions I have ever seen.Brilliant 😊

[@manwithumbrella]

Has Geoff abandoned A capella? Is this a one-off?

[@R989D]

This is the best drinking game song. Down a shot for each basement note Geoff hits and you’d be (I think I counted) 15 shots down in this one video 😂😂 *responsible drinking. DONT recommend actually doing this 😂😂

[@polyrhythmia]

If you make those shots tequila, after a few shots you too will be able to sing like Geoff. 😁

[@MiladyMacabre]

Red Dead Redeption 2 is a popular Western-themed game. The story follows Arthur Morgan and the Van der Linde gang after a robbery gone bad. Left to right we have: Goff, Daryl, Jeoph, and Jeff - the Ghost Riders before they died and cursed to eternally ride. One of the plug ins for this cover was labeled "Tubular Bells." Most of the costumes from Ghost Riders were in storage and Rick Underwood still had most of the hair pieces saved. This is the first time this particular background set at PattyCake Productions was used.

[@bjspeck4337]

And of course, Geoff isn't here. The cowboys here you saw in Ghost Riders in the Sky when they were dead. So he let the other Geoff clones took it.
