To answer your question as to whether or not anyone has done a full cover of Misty Mountains, a group called Clamavi De Profundis did one a few years ago. As far as I know, they were the first to do all 27 (yes, I counted) verses. As such, the video is 20 minutes long, so just be mindful of that if you’re planning on watching/ reacting to it.

[@DravenGal]

If you are a Tolkein fan, I would very like to recommend you check out a channel called "The Hillywood Show" and watching their LOTR and Hobbit parodies. You could even react to them because they're musical parodies. And take a gander over their other parodies, almost all are musical, and most of the videos are truly epic, considering they're all fan-funded. I really can't put into words how amazing they are. It's run by two lovely sisters, Hannah and Hilly. Let me know what you think!

[@johndeeregreen4592]

In reality, this isn't even low or high for Geoff. This is basically in his everyday comfort-zone. He has tracks where he goes considerably higher and lower. If you liked this, I am sure you would love his cover of "I See Fire".

[@christinestromberg4057]

Geoff has probably the most soothing bass voice I've ever heard. There are other good bass singers but Geoff has a tone that's just so smooth.When you see other covers he's done you'll see more of his range, and his humour. IN case you''re not aware, Geoff does it all, the arrangement, the singing, eiditing, film editing, and setting. He does get help with filming and lighting, costumes etc, from other VoicePlay members for example. So many I could recommend but I'll throw Shenandoah into the ring. :)

[@CynicalTesuji]

No worries about a lack of commentary! Any person's first-time experience with Geoff's voice is always just as enjoyable to watch as anything they may have to say on the matter. Because believe me, your expressions said it all! And that's generally the way it is with Geoff- it's a little hard to accept that any one person can vocalize the way that he does. His depths are abyssal,, and the heights to which he can ascend don't seem reasonable once you've experienced his lows. But Geoff can sing most of the piano keyboard, and sound *good* doing it- his vocal tone remains round and full and lovely throughout his entire range. He's an incredibly gifted and hard-working vocalist, and his talents do not stop there. As at least one other commenter has mentioned, he's also responsible for creating the arrangement, and filming and editing the video. He- like the a cappella group he's in, VoicePlay (another rabbit hole you should definitely slide down)- are 100% independent, so everything you see and hear from him is from his own creative vision. It's honestly one of the things I admire the most about Geoff and VoicePlay, because I know how much work goes into every production, and it's truly humbling.

[@DavideBaroni]

If you thought THIS was "bassy", you're in for a treat with "I see fire". But don't expect "just" bass. That will truly showcase his range. 🙂 Same Dwarves, different set, different kind of arrangement, same beauty. As a huge Tolkien's fan myself (though for the books... Not that big fan of the movies, although I can understand how they can impact who hasn't read the books 😉), I confess that "I see fire" is so fitting the situation it describes that I can't help crying EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. 🙂 Just subscribed in anticipation of your reaction to it 🙂. See you there!

[@mitch4tune]

OMG Geoff! Kowalski is such a legend for recommending him!

[@janeteitsworth8824]

Great Reaction to an amazing bass singer.

[@velocityofcl]

Thanks so much for watching! Glad you enjoyed because I'll definitely be reacting to a lot more of Geoff's content!

[@dorisg.3]

I've never seen anyone who didn't make a face like that when hearing Geoff's voice...so be sure to listen to more of him and also Voiceplay, it's worth it for all!!! 🤩❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥👍👍👍

[@RuroniEthan]

Dude. His cover to i see fire which is a sequel to this song. AMAZING!!!! The rains of castamere from game of Thrones was INCREDIBLE. Also, he is part of a group called voiceplay which you really should check out. Check out hoist the colors, the dragonborn comes, My mother told me, and Valhalla calling to start. You will not be disappointed. 😁😁😁

[@christineschutten248]

Now you absolutely must do I See Fire from him!!!! Geoff can go higher and lower than he sang in Misty Mountain's video. I understand not having much to say at first. It's like breaking the spell when you start speaking. This song from Geoff is perhaps the most soothing song I've ever heard!😊

[@xsithspawnx]

Yo, I never thought I'd see you react to Geoff Castellucci! He's absolutely one of my favorite singers out there with so many amazing covers to check out! He's got an incredible range and such an amazingly deep and rich bass sound as you heard. His costuming and video composition is always super on point too! He's the bass signer in the amazing singing group, Voiceplay, which is also very worth checking out in their own right as well! I think my all time favorite cover of his might be High and Dry by Radiohead, but he's got so many fun ones to check out. Blackbird, Sixteen Tons, Country Roads, and so many others. If you want another fun fantasy inspired cover his rendition of The Rains of Castamere might also be another one to react to. As a bonus, I'll throw in a recommendation for my other favorite cover of this same song by Peter Hollens and Tim Foust. It's a slightly different, but equally awesome, take on this great song. Also, hi! It's been a minute since I've dropped by, but it was really cool seeing you react to Geoff. It wasn't a collab I was expecting, but it was great seeing you discover him!

[@velocityofcl]

Omg hello! It really has been a while aha, hope you've been well! And thank you so much for watching and the support! We've changed up the kind of content we do on the channel so it's been an absolute blast discovering new artists like this! And yess thank you for the information and please do keep the recommendations coming! I can't wait to discover more from Geoff (and his group too!)

[@amberfuchscia709]

This is fun! Thank you. Subscribed because of your enthusiasm. ❤❤❤❤

[@Aurora-cv5to]

To catch a bit of Geoff's humor (and to learn the names of Geoff's clones) check out his cover of Elvis' Way Down. For some glorious highs and lows - Ain't No Sunshine.

[@Shadow_Person11]

No worries on the lack of commentary! Geoff's voice does tend to have that effect, and it usually means we get some intense facial expressions! After I See Fire you should really look into the acapella group he's in - Voiceplay - and scroll through their collection and watch the first one that really stands out. I'll go ahead and throw up a recommendation for their cover of The Grinch, since it's that time of year.

[@ilonadever8249]

It is duo much fun watching someone hear Geoff for the first time. He only started doing solo work when Covid shut the world down and Voiceplay stopped touring. He is amazing! If you have time before Christmas (or even after) his arrangement of God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen is wonderful!! Subscribed in anticipation of more Geoff and Voiceplay.

[@DravenGal]

You know, I don't think Geoff fans have an official name, like "Home Fries" (for Home Free, another stellar A Cappella group) or Voiceplayas. But I think we should call ourselves "The Gigglers" because I'm willing to bet money we all laugh like crazy, watching somebody discovering Geoff's talent!

[@carolfranklin]

Welcome to a glorious rabbit hole! I recommend anything by Geoff because he is incredible. On The Hobbit theme he's also done I See Fire. He also sings bass (mostly) for an a cappella group called Voiceplay. Genuinely every song Geoff or Voiceplay do becomes my new favourite.

[@RBerezon]

Geoff Castellucci is an amazing Bass singer. Being a deaf person myself, I never really got into music until more recently thanks to him! If you're interested in learning more about Geoff's work, I highly recommend checking out the other channel, VoicePlay. It's acapella and they make some AMAZING covers! Now, if you want to explore his range, you should consider listening to some of these songs by Geoff / Voiceplay: - Blackbird - Oogie Boogie song - Jack's Lament ...and so much more! Seriously, you'd be going down a rabbit hole that is Geoff Castellucci / VoicePlay

[@KF-xm9zo]

I swear I feel my soul vibrate when I hear that last note.

[@Broomrider1492]

He also did a song from the second movie. I SEE FIRE should be your next one to react to. Geoff doesn't do acapella in his own videos, he saves that for his group VoicePlay.

[@ThouShaltNot]

Dude, you have stumbled onto greatness, welcome to the rabbithole! Geoff and the group he performs with (VoicePlay) are so uber talented, and between the two channels, you will never run out of content! There are so many things you could nerd out for, Geoff and VP both cover so many genres of music, lots of movie/game/show themes (Dragonborn Comes from Skyrim, Enemy from Arcane, etc) along with classics like Aerosmith's Dream On, and Geoff does a beautiful cover of Ain't No Sunshine from Bill Withers. I could just go on and on about it all, just do more! You won't regret it

[@b.w.9816]

Geoff just keeps getting better and better and I never get tired of listening to him. You should also check out the a cappella group he is part of, VoicePlay. They have a wide variety of music they have covered and they are all super talented.

[@ImpertinentMind]

So... I see Fire next? 😂

[@velocityofcl]

Has to be done 😈

[@sianne79]

Oh, you're gonna be fun. Subscribed!

[@Traci2000]

Loved your reaction!! ❤ His cover of "I See Fire" is even crazier than this one! Can't wait to see your reaction to that one!

[@thisismetoday7423]

Yes, definitely check out I See Fire but he also sings bass with an amazing acapella group called VoicePlay! ❤

[@kaspianocz6330]

Huuu huuu you're on a Geoff train now!

[@acorrado5529]

I really enjoyed your reaction and just subscribed looking forward to more reactions to solo Geoff Castellucci and his acapella group, Voice Play. Yes, you will love "I See Fire" (considered a sequel to this one) as it shows even more of his range and talent. Please also check out Voice Play's "Valhala Calling" for a sample of the amazing talent of all the members of Voice Play.

[@letheardaw]

For his comedic side, try his cover of Elvis's "Way Down". It's the first time he names his clones with all the misspellings of his name. I think I remember him saying that it took him 80 tries to hit the low note...but nail it he did 🤣

[@EtherealForever]

Must see "I see fire" AND all stuff he's done with Voiceplay... 🎈

[@katthor7311]

Love your enthusiasm! I am subscribed for more Geoff and VoicePlay. 😃

[@DravenGal]

Nice job! Your obviously deep appreciation for Mr. Castellucci made me subscribe, and I usually only subscribe after I've seen a few of a reactor's videos! Now you can do "I See Fire" from The Hobbit! And let me add my own five cents (what with inflation and all), you really SHOULD check out the group Geoff is a part of, Voiceplay. They have a few different line-ups, member-wise, but they're all excellent. Their most recent line-up did a fun version of "Jingle Bell Rock" ala "Mean Girls." And Geoff did a cover of "Blue Christmas." Both are epic and hilarious! OHHH! And let me tell you the top three rules of Geoff and Voiceplay videos. (As I see them, they're not official or anything.) #1) Always watch until the video runs out! Just because there's a symbol or a black screen, doesn't mean the video is over! They often have little treasures at the end #2) Always watch with the CC on! There just may be a little gem hiding in their, including their descriptions of the videos. #3) Don't look away from the screen, or if you do look away, or pause the video, rewind it a few seconds and rewatch. They have a ton of funny-but-quick moments! Welcome to the Geoff rabbit hole! You're going to have a blast!

[@pzycho_reclas1794]

im a bit late but welcome to the rabbit hole that is Geoff but also Voice Play. What do I recommend??? ......all of it...every...single...one! lol glad you enjoyed it! He can go even lower as well as higher now his voice has matured so much in the last couple of years!

[@bjspeck4337]

Do check Geoff's I See Fire (Desolation of Smaug). He also just did Blue Christmas which is not the one I was expecting but it sure made a difference!

[@hollyryalsgrubb1273]

Incredible performance by an incredible artist.

[@par500dragon7]

Geoff is phenomenal and is the bass in the acapella group VoicePlay. They are also fantastic and don't hesitate to use Geoff's bass to it fullest potential. Of Geoff's solo work, favorites are: Shenandoah, God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen, Ghostriders in the Sky, Man of Constant Sorrow, Blackbird... and really, all the rest!

[@r.d.stratford106]

I liked and subscribed before the minute mark 😆 This was fantastic. Racing on to see your reaction to I See Fire!

[@vickitucksen7363]

you should check out Geoff singing with Voiceplay the cover of Dragonborn Comes from Skyrim

[@ThroughGreyEyes]

You get a like AND comment just because "the sustain!"

[@kyokonightstorm5844]

"What an angel" Geoff is more commonly associated with dragons (and the theory he may be a dragon in disguise) but I'd buy angelic origins too. He is super sweet and humble and top of all his amazing talents. Truly he is a soul worth protecting (and really all of VoicePlay).

[@rhov-anion]

Geoff is half dragon, I swear. You should hear him with VoicePlay singing "Dragonborn Comes" and "Halo Theme."

[@arnonyhm4055]

In "I See Fire" (kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y5OTeYaNaKiBb6c), you'll see/hear more of Geoff's range but in VoicePlay's "OOGIE BOOGIE'S SONG | The Nightmare Before Christmas" (kzbin.info/www/bejne/e5PbnIKkqd9liaM) you'll get an impression of his full range.

[@user-eo8sm7dh6d]

Great reaction, sir!

[@michaelgodsey8990]

Welcome to your newest rabbit hole. :)

[@colinmoore7460]

Geoff has a 5 octave range. Check him out in his acapella group Voicplay.

[@user-mz2pt1mj8c]

You should check Voice Play, his band, you will be amazed!

[@jackchisnall9316]

You must now do " I See Fire"

[@neonslime5516]

Check out his band Voiceplay. He is awesome and you will be amazed.

[@mityakiselev]

"This is so low, man" pepeLaugh oh no no no he lacks critical information Geoff's voice is, as I think George Martin put it, "like honey poured over thunder". He is amazing, his solo covers are great, and he's actually in an acapella band called "VoicePlay", I really suggest watching every cover where you know the original. If you want more smooth bass vocals, IDK if you watched Home Free, they're also amazing, their bass, Tim Foust, is actually friends with Geoff and taught him a few tricks on growl notes. Unlike Tim, Geoff rarely uses those, he's more into subharmonics, which basically allows him to sing almost an octave lower than his chest voice. If you want more cool voices, you can watch an Egyptian kid by the name of Marwan Ayman, an opera bass by the name of Peter Barber, a singer by the name or Robert Waters (more known as Bobby Bass, no idea why), and a Czech guy by the name of Tomi P., they recently formed a band together called the Bass Gang, and their arrangements and production value just keep getting better and better. Hope to see a whole bunch of reactions to all of the above, they're amazing.

[@candybonhomme5915]

Check out Geoff castellucci singing I see fire

[@jennvm914]

If you want to hear Geoff's range, check out his version of Blackbird from the Beatles

[@janetdw]

Most other people recommend high and dry, but I love his cover of black bird. He gets to demonstrate his range but the arrangement itself is gorgeous. I do like when he sings alone , but I *love* it when he harmonizes with himself. Plus we get to see more of him!😊

[@DTA-Music]

I See Fire is even better. :) I bet you'll love a lot of his work, both solo and with VoicePlay. (I particularly recommend their cover of Metallica's Nothing Else Matters, but separately or together, they don't make bad music.)

[@thomasfarr7934]

Try Geoff's cover of Take Me Home Country Road. (And all of the others😅)

[@DubuZed]

if you like bass you need to listen to Eric one time his voice will shake your soul

[@qazz6209]

Hes an incredibly talented singer very few singers now that are genuinely talented should look up led Zeppelin Kashmir/immigrant song covered cunio he has a very rare classic rock voice

[@cssy_]

I LOVE YOUR REACTON

[@detrafitch66]

If you really want the full effect of Geoff's voice, listen/react to the Oogie Boogie song from the movie The Nightmare Before Christmas. kzbin.info/www/bejne/e5PbnIKkqd9liaM (Toward the end you get the high notes and goes down to the lowest. Amazing! And the video is great.) You did a great reaction to Misty Mountains Cole. And your reaction to learning he did I See Fire was hilarious! 😆Wait until you listen to Hoist the Colors, Seven Nation Army, & Hellfire. 💋

[@richardlester9241]

if you think that is low, try valhalla calling from voiceplay where geoff is their bass singer. he hits note that will make your teeth itch

[@galerios1]

In the movies they don't play the whole song. Let's face it. If you tried to recreate every song in a Tolkein book, You would probably die before you got to the halfway point. Hell, I'm amazed they managed to shorten the movies as much as they did. Add the songs, and Tom Bombadil, and the movies would have been longer than even the biggest fan could sit through.
