He is a lot like a goofy Labrador when you see him interviewed. Just really nice and likable and funny. He is profoundly talented as well. Wait until you hear Voiceplay, you’re going to need resuscitation.

Haha im genuinely scared that I won't recover If I listen to voice play haha

[@marshayoung9387]

@@dj_410 thank you so much for a priceless reaction to Geoff Castallucci. He is the bass singer in Voice Play. Please do a reaction video of Voice Plays cover " Dream On " originally by Aerosmith. Also Voice Plays cover " Carry On Wayward Son " originally by Kansas. Voice Plays cover...Halo...the theme song from the video game Halo. The composer of this song was absolutely blown away by Voice Plays cover.

He is mellow and sweet. Love Geoff and his music is stellar

[@colescott79]

“This guy could sing the alphabet and I’d love it” Ganda down the best line I’ve heard to describe Geoff’s singing, couldn’t agree more!

[@huldradraco]

Geoff is definitely a big teddy bear, haha. He's the sweetest, most humble, funny, dorky, hard working and caring man, even though his voice may sound a bit intimidating at times 😄 He's also a good actor and voice actor.

[@dianehodge7252]

I am sorry but I had to laugh at your reaction. It reminds me of when others had first heard Geoff and had the same viseral reaction to him. Geoff usually calls himself a bari-tenor who can hit some bass notes, but we all know better. He is a dragon in disguise. He is really a very laid-back, teddy bear of a man. Thank you for your reactions.

[@dj_410]

He is just so fantastic! He takes you on a full body experience haha Thanks for your kind words and for watching!

[@GeekZone210]

When Geoff was young, he wanted to be a rock tenor like Chris Cornell of Soundgarden, but that didn't happen. Also Geoff calls himself a baritone with a bass range.

[@girlonfireproductions]

I love all the members of Voiceplay immensely but Geoff’s voice- whether in his low bass range or higher- literally hits me in the gut and it never gets old. I recommend Shenandoah to hear more of his sweet sweet tenor and beautiful harmonies.

[@ilonadever8249]

Okay, we forgot to tell you to put on the closed captions. Geoff sometimes puts in humor there. If you watch the last run again, you will see that. Even when he doesn't use humor, his captions are very descriptive. His wife, Kathy suffers from severe/profound hearing loss. He makes the captions descriptive to enhance the experience for the hearing impaired. This was my Geoff gateway drug. A friend sent me the link and I have been hooked ever since. I found Voiceplay almost immediately. Geoff is not the lowest bass voice out there, but the quality of his voice is so beautiful, so clear, that it exceeds the talent of all the others. In my opinion, which of course, is the only correct one. His most recent, Till Then, he said he was trying for the sound of a grizzly bear singing a lullaby. The one he has coming out in a week or so is astounding! Thanx for the ride!

[@dj_410]

Omg thats so beautiful that he does that for his wife!! You're gonna make me cry!!!! Cant wait to react to his new one when it drops!!

[@janetdw]

When Geoff does the captions there will be musical notes on each end, as opposed to the close captioning put on by the system which is frequently hilarious.

[@angelaeye7778]

Geoff covers a lot of old, classic songs. And often arranges them with a homage to the best-known versions. Sixteen Tons (about how mining companies paid their workers in private script rather than in real money) was written and originally recorded by Merle Travis in 1946. The most popular version was by Tennessee Ernie Ford in 1958 (Ford had his own TV variety show at the time, I remember it well). Also recorded by other Country artists including Johnny Cash. Geoff and Voiceplay used to work for Disney at Orlando and on tour. COVID kinda shut everything down, especially touring. He's only been making these solo multitrack vids since that happened. Gotta keep busy.

[@dj_410]

His song choices are so great! Can't wait to hear everything he has to offer!

This was my introduction to Geoff, closely followed by VoicePlay. Loved the reaction, your comments made me smile and giggle! Well if this one made you lose your socks and pants, I suggest you hold on to them tight when you listen to Dragonborn Comes and especially Halo cos he sings even lower. Geoff hits a B0 in Halo (for reference that's the second key on the bottom end of a piano keyboard), he can also sing a lot higher than you've heard so far, Blackbird and High and Dry to name two. Very much looking forward to the next reaction, thanks! 🙂👍

[@DougRayPhillips]

The Voiceplay lineup from 2017 to 2020 was: Earl Elkins Jr. High Tenor, Eli Jacobson Second Tenor, Jesse Nunn III (stage name JNone) Baritrone, Geoff Castelllucci Bass, and Layne Stein Beatboxing/Vocal Percussion (and backup Baritone/Bass… he was the group’s original Baritone). Earl left in 2020 (never officially replaced). JNone left in 2021 to enter the Navy but comes back and performs with VP when he’s on leave. His spot was officially taken by Cesar DeLaRosa. Since VP always performs with at least 5 members, all vids since Earl’s departure have had one or more guest artists (male or female). The Top VP vids I’d recommend, in order from oldest to newest, would be: Tennessee Whiskey (Chris Stapleton cover) Boy Bands in 5 Minutes (various) Oogie Boogie’s Song (from Nightmare Before Christmas) Can’t Help Falling in Love (Elvis Presley cover) Warriors (Imagine Dragons) The Little Mermaid Medley (featuring Rachel Potter) You’re a Mean One, Mr. Grinch (featuring Adriana Arellano) Carry On Wayward Son (Kansas cover, featuring Omar Cardona) Go The Distance (from Hercules, featuring E.J. Cardona) My Mother Told Me (featuring Jose Rosario Jr.) If I Were a Rich man/Girl (from Fiddler on the Roof, featuring Ashley Diane) Hoist the Colors (featuring Jose Rosario Jr.) Halo Theme (featuring actor Scott Porter, who was the group’s original Beatboxer) The Dragonborn Comes (Skyrim, featuring Omar Cardona) Dream On (Areosmith cover, featuring Omar Cardona) Nothing Else Matters (Metallica cover, with JNone back as a guest) In My Room (Beach Boys cover, featuring Deejay Young)

[@DavideBaroni]

I totally second your list of suggestions. I'd add a note to Halo Theme though, which is: "Please listen it to the end. The second half consists of Scott Porter, featured singer but also one of the original founders and threvious beatboxer of the group, explaining the reasons behind that particular video, and giving a glimpse of who they are as human beings...". 🙂 I also would like to add "We don't talk about Bruno", 'cause I Like it a lot, and "Running up that hill", because I loved the Kate Bush version, and even if I never watched "Stranger things" I love the way they referenced to it. 🙂

[@dj_410]

Thanks so much for the info and the suggestions :D will be reacting to lots of Geoff and VoicePlay in the future so keep your eyes out :D

[@dj_410]

​@Davide Baroni thanks for these suggestions! They will be added to the list with the others above :)

[@janetdw]

If you go back beyond 2017, Tony Wakim was the baritone, note business partner of Layne in their PattyCake Productions studio. They also frequently have guest artists (always since 2020 when Earl left) they are almost always placed in the middle of the lineup if that helps.

It's a treat to watch your reactions to Geoff. He's incredible! It's 1950s Tennessee Ernie Ford song... old country

[@Wildecat10]

If you have trouble with Geoff’s talent, you’re in real trouble with VoicePlay. Every person in that group is as talented as Geoff. Geoff and Layne (the beatboxer that swallowed a drum kit and synthesizer -AND has the sweetest singing voice) usually alternate on the arranging, and do the set, costuming, direction and editing also. By the way, in case someone hasn’t mentioned it, when you react to Halo, please continue through the outro. You’ll gain a lot of insight into the origins of the group, as well as the reason doing that song meant so much to them.

[@dj_410]

I'm genuinely so scared I will just turn into a puddle after listening to voice play haha Thanks so much for the hint! I'll make sure I watch all the way to the end!!

​@DJ_410 please do Oogie Boogie!

[@CynicalTesuji]

Geoff truly is a talent who deserves a far wider audience than he currently has. His arrangements are always clever, and make full use of that ridiculous range of his. Btw, I suspect the discrepancy on the 4 octave/5 octave range thing is down to whether you consider his subharmonic notes to be a legitimate part of his range. A subharmonic is basically an illusion; the singer sings a note, and through vocal fry and engaging the false vocal folds the note produced is a full octave lower than the fundamental note being sung. So if Geoff produces a D1 through subharmonics, he's actually singing a D2 but still producing the sound of a D1. It's hard to explain, and I'm probably doing a poor job of it, but there are other (better) sources out there who can explain it far more eloquently than I. But I wanted to suggest that you check out Geoff's cover of House of the Rising Sun. Not just because it's an amazing arrangement (it is) or because Geoff performs it brilliantly (he does), but because it's likely a song you're familiar with, and you'll really be able to hear what cool twists he puts on that old melody. It's hard to pick up on just how good of an arranger Geoff is when you aren't familiar with the original music. Same line of thinking (and also because it is just one of his best), his cover of Bill Withers' Ain't No Sunshine is simply phenomenal, and will haunt you.

[@dj_410]

I LOVE ain't no sunshine so I definitely want to do that one soon and same goes for house of the rising sun! Thank you so much for the breakdown (which made perfect sense btw) and for the suggestions :D

hahahaha. George? Yes we did notice but we'll let you off. This one is constantly recommended along with VoicePlay's Oogie Boogie Song, but it's not one of my favourites. He sings in so many styles and genres so there are plenty to choose from. Geoff doesn't claim a five octave range but if you include the subharmonics and the occasional falsetto I think it's safe to say that it's a pretty accurate description. His low bass range is still getting deeper and deeper anyway as he works on it, and as he ages. There are plenty of videos out there showing his highest and lowest notes but it's not something I remember offhand.

[@dj_410]

Cant wait to dive deeper and deeper into this rabbit hole! Thanks so much for watching! :)

[@starstuff84]

Geoff pays tribute to the most well known version of this song by Tennessee Ernie Ford with the finger snaps and that last run. It's also where the hint of gospel influence gets a a het tip from Geoff in his version.

[@garinphillips5578]

It's actually quite ironic that your birds started chirping while watching this. Reason being that miners would take a canary down into the mines and so long as the bird was making a noise the miners knew that it was safe to be down there. As soon as it stopped they knew the cavern was filling with toxic gas and had to get out. Just an ironic observation.

[@katthor7311]

So, a lot of people described techniques that Geoff uses to hit some insanely low notes, but the fun thing about this piece, if I'm not mistaken, is every note he hits in his lower range is chest voice aka no fancy techiques, just all him. Since you just reacted to the Slashstreet Boys, might I suggest Boy Bands in 5 minutes by VoicePlay. It's a lot of fun. 😁

[@dj_410]

I will definitely add it to the list! I love me some boy bands haha

Tennesse Ernie Ford (also a Bass-Baritone) is the original singer for "Sixteen Tons", his verison is not bad, I like it.

[@glowormrdr6183]

Re "Geoffquakes"' - there's another bass with a similar tag, "Timgasms". That's Tim Foust of Home Free, another a capella group. Geoff and Tim are friendly and have worked together in the past. Re Sixteen Tons - This "bop" is from 1946; it's about harsh labor exploitation in the early 1900's. "St. Peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go; I owe my soul to the company store."

[@r0kus]

This is a classic American folksong. Geoff really sings it fantastically. My favorite version, though, was recorded by Tennessee Ernie Ford in the late 50s or early 60s.

[@huldradraco]

Geoff's range is definitely 5 octaves. But he needs subharmonics to reach the lowest notes, and he can't just sing the full 5 octaves at any time of day. So his comfortable range is 4 octaves, while the lowest notes require a lot of work for him to reach down to the full 5 octaves of his range. He also can go a few notes higher than his recorded highest note, but only on good vocal days, and I don't think he finds them "pretty" enough to use as recorded vocals. He is a bass after all, not a tenor.

[@dj_410]

This was fairly early in his foray into skill work and it was just him and his wife Kathy and a stationary camera. Their tools were from his dad’s shop and he used them again in his cover of Big Bad John, another mining song. Along with Misty Mountains Cold, he has mining song well represented. For a fun one, check out his cover of Elvis’s last release, Way Down. He went for humor in that one. As always, be sure to wait until the Patreon rolls.

For studio audio (where multiple takes can be used if needed), Geoff's range runs from A0 up to at least A5, which is, yes, fully five octaves. However, not all of that range is in his modal register, and not all of it is comfortable/convenient/reliable enough for live performances. If you want to react to comedy stuff, consider (if you aren't already familiar with them) The Gift Basket, Who's on First, Chocolate Cake for Breakfast, or if you're interested in musical comedy, Smells Like Nirvana and/or It's Me Again Margaret.

[@GeekZone210]

11:07 | Yeah, when first heard about bass singers I was like, why aten't they in the industry. There are sone examples like Barry White, Josh Turner, Johnny Cash, and others, but they mostly contained low/dramatic baritones, and bass-baritones (Geoff is goated obviously). The likely reason is that because both Basses and Controaltos sing deep and low, that their voices aren't sutiable melodicly and aren't able to sing loud enough live (though Geoff and others have proved otherwise, but with microphones not without them for now). Basses and Contraltos are heavily underrated vocalists. Also, Baritones and Mezzos need love too.

I might recommend you try when they do "Your man" by Josh Turner. I love to hear Geoff singing using all of his ranges together. I think you would also like to hear Geoff singing "Ghost riders in the sky". His videography and singing in this one will blow your mind.

i feel like "STRAIGHT TO THE LOINS" sums it up

[@joleenquack]

You need Need NEED to react to his cover of "Ain't No Sunshine". It's just...amazing.

[@emblazen6442]

Another great bass in the a cappella world is Tim Foust from Home Free. He has his own channel. Check it out

[@ryanellsworth7246]

You'd love Tim Foust and Peter Hollins doing Misty Mountain. Trust me... If you haven't done it. 210 layers of their voices. GC's version is good but this is...epic.

[@jenniferwalker5980]

Love, just love your reactions. You also need to react to Big Bad John.

[@debrabouchez4270]

Also you need to check out Geoffs cover of Ain't no Sunshine

If you see this his last name is pronounced (cast-a-loo-chi) (Castellucci)

I loved your reaction to Geoff thanks for sharing it with us. I definitely would recommend VoicePlay Oogie Boogie Man, This is Halloween, and Kidnap the Sandy Claws they are all amazing. I hope that you have a wonderful day! 😊

[@RebeccaMidyette]

Be sure to watch his rendition of Elvis Presley's song "Way Down"

[@judithboggs2196]

Because they can't afford to replace sub-woofers every other hour. Watch Tim Foust do it 22times....in concert!

[@lkreinmiller-author]

This is an old song. The most memorable - until now - is by Tennessee Earnie Ford, and American country/folk singer. This version seems to make women feel faint and men want to go out and swing a pick. Geoff recommendation - Ghost Riders in the Sky.

[@valeriephelps8017]

If you want some really up-tempo Geoff stuff, bear necessities, saddle up, and to a lesser extent, ghost riders.

[@coletedeux]

Check out the original by Tennessee Ernie Ford, you will love that also.

[@littlemonk2610]

Here's the original recording of Sixteen Tons, from my childhood, by Tennessee Ernie Ford. Terrific recording. kzbin.info/www/bejne/iIPLYYSfjd6Nic0

Definitely 5 octaves. To hear it listen to the last lines in Oogie Boogie song.

[@jeannewallace5383]

What's the birdie's name? Interesting reactions.

[@GodSponge]

I know you said you don't want to hear another version, but hearing the Tennessee Ernie Ford version gives you even more appreciation for what Geoff does. kzbin.info/www/bejne/iWKcaWONm7B2ZtE

conure? Caique?

[@dj_410]

Rainbow lorikeets :D

[@Badger77722]

Geoff is nothing if not modest. On his solo channel, he has a video where he only claims to have a 4 octave range. On the other hand, he also claims to be a baritone with a "good bass extension", whereas a professional bass opera singer states that based on the notes and quality he hears Geoff sing, Geoff is definitely a bass. Plus Geoff is extremely talented at producing sub-harmonics, which could lead people to substantially increase their estimates of his range. I'm not a singer or music professional in any way/shape/form, but personally I think he's a heck of a lot closer to 5 octaves than 4, especially on a good day.

[@richardlester9241]

i think someone needed a cold shower after this? lol

[@daviddavison3970]

Listen to the Headless Horseman
