Secrets of Subharmonics and Overtones REVEALED! Vocal Analysis of Bass Singer: Geoff Castellucci

[@SummitSummit]

I see Lolli and Geoff, I click. And I have never been disappointed in the outcome.

[@GHmorenos]

Ditto!

[@megamcee]

Your content was already heads above other vocal analysts, but now you've got vowel charts and hertz analyses?! Incredible!

[@camannwordsmith]

You wouldn't think the best could get even better, but she did! Every video is a delight

[@liraco_mx]

It's like some CSI level of summoning evidence we didn't know existed.

[@FiveN9ne]

There's a quote in one of the Game of Thrones books. A man's voice was described as "honey poured over thunder". That is the perfect way to describe Geoff's voice.

[@EtherealForever]

Very interesting. He has recorded B0 twice (Halo and Valhalla Calling with Voiceplay). What makes Geoff unique to me is the beautiful timbre of his voice - very pleasant to listen to. Thank you for doing this! Hope there is more Geoff and/or VP soon 😉🌹🕊.

[@CookwitchCreations]

Yes yes this! There's honey in that voice, not just bass.

[@Matjo7588dk]

Seeing nerds, nerds out make my own inner nerd nerd out. Its makes me a happy nerd.

[@ryansmallwood1178]

Loved all the vocal layers from you and Geoff! Thanks again for your analysis!

[@A_Brit]

When Geoff sings low, the ladies answer the call.

[@nathanwahl9224]

I'm not so sure, I can hit almost all those notes, but my wife just looks at me funny when I practice like I'm nuts. Like yeah, whatever. 😄

[@A_Brit]

@@nathanwahl9224 I suspect the difference is hitting the note and being Geoff.

[@megamcee]

@@nathanwahl9224 you have just proven the point, for you have a wife, which means that a lady has answered the call of the low note

[@denisehaukkala9742]

And gentlemen give stank face

[@snarkywriter1317]

​@@nathanwahl9224 Same. My wife doesn't like bass singers and often said she wished I were a tenor before I just stopped singing around her entirely. I feel you.

[@dorothyrosenberg1301]

Fascinating to watch you melt down while listening to Geoff. Thank you for explaining how Geoff creates these sounds which are uniquely his.

[@user-simmonst]

I've been watching this channel for a while now and I'm glad I am by myself because every time Lolli begins her videos with "hello gorgeous!" I constantly catch myself saying "Ha! Look who's talking! If someone else were here they might think I'm crazy.

[@TodlicheVerwuste]

This is actually the video that introduced me to Geoff Castellucci, which, in turn, led me to later discover VoicePlay

[@jjnix2]

I love when people can't help but smile because it hits so good.

[@nuchbutter]

Love to listen to Geoff, but you had me at "visible biceps". That remark was a singularity, thanks!

[@danielelwell2571]

Geoff is a beast xx

[@sherischutts6976]

What is it about the bass voice? Deep voices just make me melt.

[@thisismetoday7423]

Hi, I would love to see you analyze VoicePlay again. I think I would choose The Little Mermaid Medley! Or Wicked Medley. Or Hoist the Colours. Please 🙏🏻

[@earthventuring]

Lolli is a goddess of sound waves and emotional expression in human form. Always a pleasure!

[@loveloochay]

👹👹👹🎼 .. I have been waiting for this reaction for some time Lolli. It has been destined to happen , and you were destined to amaze us. The many expressions in your eyes were so real , and so invested. You don't hold back... you really allow the music and exceptional vocals to get under skin. Thanks for making my day. Geoff slays this .. I have watched it many times, and I still get goosebumps. Awesome !!!!!!!!!!🎼🎼👹👹👹

[@T10elC]

Geoff is amazing, and your reaction and analysis are equally amazing.

[@vivianerocha1754]

I LOVE your analyses! So rich in musical details and so sweet and funny

[@FLNatureGuy]

So fun to see you break down Geoff's lows. Love the way you see his music. Geoff and you = Brilliant. More please. Jacks Lament is an incredible work and super theatrical.

[@chanmax2]

So if this song did this much effect on you, you've got to do Jeff "i see fire" cover, it is his best one, and became one of my favorite and most emotional song ever. And an amazing display of his range, emotions, harmonies, arrangements.

[@paulstelian97]

Think she did that one ages ago

[@LostHate]

I'm not sure what is more impressive Geoff's low sub harmonics or the time Lolli spends to make and edit a video about them.

[@rmdewberry2482]

I've listened to this performance by "Laryngeal Legend" Geoff so many times. I've also listened to a fair number of analyses and still/always you bring something new to notice and learn. TY! I'm pretty sure I could listen to Geoff sing this on loop for the rest of my life. 😅❤‍🔥❤‍🔥❤‍🔥

[@jenniferchoate5600]

It's funny, because the 3 Geoff's are dressed as Thorin Oakenshield, his nephew Fili, and the cheery Bofur. Hehe, I think it's great that Geoff decided to dress up as them, to be honest. Bofur's one of my favorite dwarf's in the movie 😆. Great analysis Lollie!! Thank you for creating and sharing this video with the rest of us.

[@rdy3357]

A follow-up video of I See Fire would be great. There are a few more solos for the Geoff with the higher register as well as some epic Geoff-quakes.

[@iamsquatty]

Gotta love a good geoffquake 😁💜💜

[@Mocorn]

13:25 was wild! To hear that low note from her!? I am beyond impressed!

[@MotionlessNineCallboy]

I just recently discovered your channel and i'm just absolutely blown away by how much you pick up even if its the smallest of details like a wind chime, a very faint melody or harmonics and how easily and accurately you describe it to us, mere mortals. Easily one of the most interesting and funny reactors out there. Now, if you'll excuse me, i'm gonna go deep dive the rest of your channels for songs i've known for years to find out what ive missed this entire time! Keep up this amazing work!

[@TheRealityleak]

His version of "way on down" by Elvis names his Geoffs. He is truly one of the best in the world at singing that low. You're a gem! Thanks!

[@rhov-anion]

"Luscious low bodacious bass." You nailed it.

[@techauthor324]

l read The Hobbit as a near-teen back in the early 70's. l never imagined this song as a dirge.

[@UltimateGamerCC]

agreed, grew up on the Rankin & Bass animation of The Hobbit, never imagined that i'd be hearing this song done in this way, and i downright love it for that.

[@hwyla4416]

@techauthor324 I'm a bit surprised. How did you think it would be? I did 'hear' it as a dirge in my mind, being about a 'long-forgotten home'.

[@srudine]

Yay! I've waited 2+ years for this reaction and the lovely, luscious Lolli has delivered yet again. Your low notes are a wonderful treat as well. Simply amazing love. You never disappoint because you are the best🥰🥰🥰

[@SimiusAtheus]

I love your reaction, energy and in-depth analysis. Well done!

[@darrenkarstens]

Love that you have the Roland piano that has that voice setting. Had lots of fun playing classical music with it :D

[@Erra88]

you are such a vocalist nerd. i love it 😂

[@Haarkad]

This reaction and breakdown is even more excellent than your normal amazing. Best one yet!

[@ndnmdm9290]

I just have to say it. Your passion is fucking unbelievable. Your explanation is top notch. Thank you so much for your analysis and reaction.

[@garyboyles5762]

I think with his future addition of I See Fire shows us so much more range that this talented man can bring. That song hits me in the feelings in the best way.

[@thisisnrgs]

Thank you so much for the reaction & analysis❤ Please do more of Voiceplay and Geoff🙏🏼

[@leechowning2712]

We missed you.

[@carinarodebak9419]

Gorgeous is the motte juste. This very video was my very first introduction to the phenomenon of YT and music videos. One click that changed my life.

[@iamkerok]

Thanks for all the additional effort you do with vocal demos...it really adds to the already entertaining cascade of Lolli-ness!

[@user2048]

"goaty Geoff" 🐐

[@sudelaine8653]

Not 'goaty', I think, but 'goatee.'. The beard, you know. 😉

[@phijean88]

Bravo pour vos analyses qui sont claires, fabuleusement pertinentes, justes et bien documentées…. Vous êtes la meilleure dans cet exercice . Les autres coachs sont incompétents par rapport à vous. Bravo 👏👏👏 Continuez…

[@razorx2024]

more Geoff please 😁

[@546Scott]

I love this Channel!!!!

[@RinN3-.]

You are so wonderful to watch and listen to, gorgeous 😉👏👏👏🤗🩷

[@fordcottoniii8972]

Lolli, a fantastic analysis as always, full of great humor, enthusiasm, and musical geekery. And that beautiful singing of yours! I absolutely loved the spectral analysis!! I suggest doing more of that in the future. Question - at 6:26 - isn't that the 3rd in the bass instead of the 5th? Woo hoo! Thank you, thank you.

[@karingreen396]

Love you Lolli. Love Geoff! This reaction makes my day

[@gavinkistner772]

I have difficulty figuring out how to give you enough props for this video. Great spectral analysis and demonstration!

[@DavideBaroni]

Well, now that you've done THIS, you will HAVE to go through the second episode of the Dwarves saga: "I see fire". Now, this one has been my own "introduction" to Geoff's solo work, and has been my favourite since... Until "I see fire" was released. And now there's also "Unshaken", which I believe you'd love. 😁 Enjoyed your reactions and vocal analysis a lot. And I'm SO curious to watch you listen to the very opening of "I see fire", I'm sure it'll be interesting 😁. See you next time!

[@RinN3-.]

SO profound !!! “If you don’t drop something, how can it fall !” 😃. Love it !! 🥰 🩷

[@aenorist2431]

Ah, would have wished this to be "I see fire" instead, which is the same "Dwarves" but a couple of years of vocal development and production quality increases later. Its awesome. I mean, this one is awesome too, and arguably a song I like more ... but "I see fire" is even better than that.

[@lgjm5562]

The song she went with is more famous and recognizable. The other one is for afficionadoes who can appreciate the finer points. A great choice for a follow up.

[@Jennifer_J_C]

Thanks Lolli 😊

[@cindyweir9645]

I love these deep lower frequencies being an alto myself. I wish people had more appreciation for music in this domain. Thank you for your expertise, how exciting. ♥️🌹🌄

[@MuresanBol77]

Ah, I needed this bit of loveliness!! Best reactor on the web and best bass singer on the web!! That was truly a delightful use of my 18:36 minutes. Smiles galore watching this reaction. ☺

[@par500dragon7]

I don't know if you've done his 'I See Fire' but, if not, you should! It's kind of a sequel to this, but he uses more of his higher range and the melody is shared by all 4 clones.

[@RobertGagen-j7i]

You are the best at analyzing and reacting to signers. Your comedic moments disguise your obvious musical knowledge of the art of singing. Other reactors can't compare. Keep it up!

[@abeldiaz3877]

This is one of my favorite arrangements by Geoff. Btw, you should analyse "Don't Lose Sight (acoustic)" by Lawrence. They're an incredible band that will leave you eyes-wide-open and jaw-loosen.

[@JvWet]

Thank you for an awesome (expressive) reaction, I enjoyed all your facial expression so much (as well as all the musical explanations) 👍

[@DarthKoonstyle]

Now's time for the sequel! I SEE FIRE! :D

[@gigi3242]

I See Fire, you will love it. Have a beautiful week ahead. And, would love to watch your reaction to VP's Hall of the Mountain King, that would be a lot of giggling.

[@davidculp6266]

That software (and your imitation of it) are giving me strong "My Fair Lady" vibes.

[@jean-marccrisavola705]

Ciao buongiorno 😄, one of my favorite music 🥰, have a nice day and see you next time

[@thomasfarr7934]

I will watch anything by Geoff... Thanks! Nice analysis!

[@Brimstone3]

You are SUCH a nerd when it comes to music, I'm a male singer who can't read music and has no formal training, hell I never made it through what I believe you call primary school. I am mesmerized by it, thank you very much for the break downs, and making formal knowledge understandable on a practical level, it's so hard to find such a thing when it comes to some of the more advanced stuff, especially anything specific, and it's all so much that it can be overwhelming sometimes. So thank you, graciously, new sub. Always wanted a fairy voice mother, had no idea yall actually came with the wizard knowledge, the accent, and all the bells and whistles too.

[@AudioVile]

You are REALLY good! This (before today) was one of my LEAST favorite Geoff songs. Clearly, I just didn't know what to listen for. Your outstanding analysis AND demonstrations opened my eyes and ears WIDE!! You were already among my favorite reactors.... but you got bumped up a few notches with this one! Fantastic! Thank you!

[@briansellden6115]

You are fantastic :) Thanks for the entertaining and informative analysis.

[@nigeldepledge3790]

Once again, Lolli, you've delivered a reaction & analysis that is an absolute joy to watch. Through your reactions, it's as if I'm hearing this song for the first time again. And to top it off, your own vocalisations to illustrate what you mean are gorgeous. I can't decide which I like best. (Do you see what I did there?) A couple of questions for you, if I may beg your indulgence: will you be releasing an album some time? I'd love to have I Can't Decide and any other songs you'd care to record with that level of passion and excitement as a CD some day. There are several singers I'd like to recommend, and please forgive me if you've already recorded reactions to them - Geoff Tate of Queensryche (Take Hold of the Flame, Silent Lucidity, Empire or anything from Operation: Mindcrime); Michael Kiske of Helloween (Keeper of the Seven Keys, Future World or The Tale That Wasn't Right); and Fish (yes, it was a nickname, but it became his stage name, and I can never remember his real name) of Marillion (Grendel would be perfect, but any of Script For A Jester's Tear, The Web, Forgotten Sons, Emerald Lies, Fugazi, Chelsea Monday, Pseudo Silk Kimono or Sugar Mice would be great).

[@lairbear4673]

Now you’re adding technology to analyze the frequency of the notes!?! You’re like a MUSIC WIZARD SCIENTIST and I love it! 😊

[@elvwood]

Great analysis again, thanks!

[@kamunda13]

your reactions are the best on the internet. I don't know why, but they just make smile at the end of a hard day at work. thank you.

[@Robert.Sheard]

Lolli, I haven’t laughed this much since Oogie Boogie brought you into Geoff’s orbit. Your puns, your irreverence, outlandishly sophisticated analysis, and gorgeously visceral reactions to individual notes put your reactions into a class of at most 4 channels worth watching. Thank you. I needed this after the shittiest of weeks. (If you want to start a second channel devoted to all things Geoff and VoicePlay, I’ll be your first patron.) Please review Geoff’s Way Down by Elvis, just for the laughs.

[@Lancer4323]

I want ACAPELLA Lolli, the sound would be mind meltingly fantastic..❤❤❤

[@DeansMayhem]

You're the best. And I sure do love it when you sing while demonstrating. You're amazing.

[@mohammedalhaddad8589]

OMG Lolli.. I love your personality.. Every video is a treat.. Humours, intelligent and silly.. you're the perfect younger sister

[@olabergvall3154]

Love this editing

[@jasonmeadors3524]

Always happy to have a dose of Geoff, and you brought a dimension of analysis to it that was thoroughly enjoyable, especially delivered in your inimitable style. I'll confess that, being an appreciator more than an aficionado or student of music, sometimes I'm wishing for subtitles when you're gamboling through the terminology. But no criticism. It's a learning opportunity, and you get the point across. I also must confess that in the 10-minute and the 14-minute ranges, you seemed to be having... well.... an experience of some sort. That was intentionally provocative, right? Nicely done!

[@troyallen9436]

I love how you mix in the technical aspects of voice and how sound is produced. Your videos are always so much fun. I'd love to see a review of Mark Knopfler/Dire Straits' Brothers in Arms. Thank you for putting this together, amazing as always.

[@DravenGal]

Didn't Home Free do a cover of Brothers in Arms too?💙

[@kaizoaudio1798]

I just started watching the beatbox analysis. I’d love to see her check out Jairo. Their harmony and beatbox arrangements are so so good.

[@billparrish4385]

Lolli my dear, you are a pure delight! I could listen to you expound on Geoff for hours (or anything, really, the phone book, old parts catalogs, stereo instructions, doesn't matter)....

[@audracourtright6215]

I love how you feel the music like I do! Geoff is one of my favorites!! Those low notes are my favorite. And his voice is so buttery and smooth. The group he's with, Voice play, has a great acapella sound. Please do their version of Valhalla Calling me

[@eirintowne]

Oh, Geoff, Jeffrey and the others will have a good laugh at the character analysis! Excellent work!

[@Samhain606]

I can do the low notes but can't get the resonance/volume sometimes. Great video as always 👍

[@Brimstone3]

I especially really like that term you introduced to me that you call "blueprint", the "American vowel digital graph", and the breakdown of....not just what fry is but HOW it is, especially here, cause as a male I would very much like to replicate it.

[@monkleyt]

My favorite creator and my favorite reactor. This is one of my favorite songs from Geoff. I have been greatly anticipating this for some time. In no way did it disappoint 🙂

[@aeonturnip2]

Living Colour please Lolli! "This Is The Life" and "Cult Of Personality" are my favourites, but "Love Rears Its Ugly Head" really shows off Corey Glover's voice - which is the vocal equivalent of an expensive whiskey - smooth & rich but with a depth and kick to it. Well, that's my analogy - you'll have your own after listening to him. Thanks! Big fan of your channel and voice!

[@BetsySchiller-sj2sm]

Great fun as usual! Loved the analysis, and Carpet Shoulder Geoff talking about Go-To Geoff was priceless!😅😅😅

[@a-World-Of-Payne]

Great video, as always. You should do more Geof reactions, he’s got some incredible songs on his channel. I love the elements of humour you add into your educational analysis 😎 keep up the good work

[@janetdw]

I have listened to this countless times. It has been my go-to when I needed to settle down and go to sleep. It’s slow, sonorous, and so soothing (how’s that for alliteration?😂) You pointed out so many things that I had never noticed. I don’t have musical training and I have a slight auditory processing problem so it really helps to have someone stop and point out something like you have. I appreciate that you pointed out not only the singing but all of the music background and the sound effects. He is, in addition to everything else, a master storyteller and those effects help tell that story. He did follow this up with I See Fire from Desolation of Smaug where the dwarves appear again. In I See Fire, each of the Geoff’s gets to sing which really shows off his range. And Babyface Geoff, as you call him😊, does not have the deepest voice in that one. It is Thorin Oakenshield with the big fur coat that drops the deepest notes. If you’re just after really really deep bass notes, check out his cover of Unshaken. You will be shaken - I guarantee it! I don’t have musical training but several people have stated that he has dropped a number of G1’s in a variety of styles.

[@milbourne4666]

It's incredible to be both so informational AND entertaining. All the qualities of a great teacher are present. The costume analysis is just an added little treat :)

[@sjeses]

your videos are so nice, I wish I could like them twice

[@zablelop]

Beautiful tats, nice delicate work.

[@jlpsinde]

So good, love this!!!

[@Choppa132]

So good!!! I love it when the bass boys get the recognition they deserve. Keep up the amazing work Loli you’re the best

[@joanneevans2021]

LOVE LOVE LOVE your reactions!! They make me so happy! And you are so freaking talented it blows my mind!!

[@jamesmason5664]

WOWED, Your Ability to Communicate is Superlative!!!! YOU ARE A BREEZY DELIICACY ON EVERY LEVEL!!! I APPRECIATE YOUR AMAZING WAY OF EXPRESSING EMOTION😊😂❤ !

[@Lancer4323]

SWEETEST FAIRY I just watched the premiere of Geoff, I enjoyed it very much I knew you would love it. And the break down was informative like only you do,, I had a great time watching. LOVE YOU MUCH❤❤❤❤

[@vvoof2601]

You just watched the premiere of a years old video? Can I have a ride in your time machine?

[@testi_kanava68]

Welcome to Finland. It was still snowing here yesterday and the temperature is -5 degrees at night and about +5 degrees during the day :D

[@AndrewinAus]

Geoff with a voice deeper than the Mines of Moria. The song Misy Mountains Cold. Lolli nerding it up with technology. Dies ut get any more fun and interesting. I think not. Really cool and interesting video i enjoyed it from the analysis to the goosebumps. 😅

[@grantcollier-payne8192]

lol watching this pumping hot air into a very cold room.
