Vocal Coach Mesmerised by VoicePlay's Oogie Boogie Song

This is a vocal coach reaction to ‪@Thevoiceplay‬'s Oogie Boogie song. I'm not surprised that you guys requested this so much - it's absolutely amazing! I loved the characters that the guys became and the environment they used to draw us into the world of the performance. I think this is lowest I've heard Geoff sing. Comment below if you have any more examples from the "crust of the earth" 🤣

Geoff: “I wouldn’t say I’m a bass.” Also Geoff: E1 from the gut ❤️

[@GregoryHoup-ou7tu]

Geoff is the best bass singer I've ever heard

[@sugargirl9063]

You should watch Voiceplay's (and rachel potter) version of the little mermaid... Geoff is covering 4 (i think?) octaves in seconds in that one!

[@CoverCoach]

Hey :) Holy moly! 4 is crazy! Thanks for the suggestion. Have a fun day :)

[@Stanley88845]

yes, his lead part is D5-D2 but at the D2 there is a subharmonic D1 layered over.

[@galaxyheart5555]

Omg I love his version of unfortunate souls

[@glennjanot8128]

While all reactors rightfully talk about Geoff's bass, hardly any mentions how deep Layne goes when he does the beatboxing for this

[@CoverCoach]

Hey Glenn :) That's such a good shout! I hadn't even considered it. Thank you! Have a fun day :)

[@fezzik7619]

E1 is the first floor for Geoff. His basement is in the 0’s. He just released God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen which he arranged for himself and the “other three Geoffs”. He finishes that on an A0. His top note in the song is an A4 so a full 4 octaves just because he can.

[@livia1371]

Isn't it A5? 🤔

[@Mark_Agamotto1313_Smith]

Thanks for mentioning this, so many talk about how low he can get (and that is VERY low) but so few notice that for as low as he gets, he can ALSO hit the high notes too.

[@lorrieriddle2211]

Yep. Geoff doing Geoff things. LOL. They are each playing characters in the movie...including Layne playing Zero the dog.

[@CoverCoach]

Hey Lorrie :) Haha! I love that! Geoff doing Geoff things... 🤣

[@tracyz9155]

Tim Burton’s movie “A Nightmare Before Christmas” is a stop motion, animated musical about the King of Halloween town who discovers and wants to take over Christmas town. VoicePlay has done several songs from this musical. They love their vocal mini stage plays. My favorite at the moment is a non-theatrical cover of “Can’t Help Falling in Love”. But if you need more theater, try “Little Mermaid Medley”

[@CoverCoach]

Hey Tracy :) That sounds amazing! I can't believe I haven't seen it yet (the rock I've been hiding under obviously doesn't have Disney+) 🤣 Your suggestions are awesome! I love both of those songs :) Have a fun day :)

[@syyneater]

@@CoverCoach We watch the movie every Halloween & Christmas. Tim Burton and Danny Elfman at their finest.

[@WriterGirl90]

Danny Elfman wrote the score but also provides the singing vocals for one of the characters as well

[@DennisKovacich]

“I hope he’s got a hard hat, ‘cause he’s singing from the crust of the earth!” If you watch it with captions turned on, they actually call that last note “subterranean”!

[@SuperNovaKat64]

It was a subharmonic E1

[@dawnburris6412]

Geoff: “I don’t consider myself a natural base.” Also Geoff: …causes earthquakes while speaking 🤷‍♀️😂❤ Heavens I love this group! (And Geoff obviously)

[@ashleyoverman8162]

If you want more low voice Geoff, check out his covers of The Headless Horseman and Blackbird!

[@CoverCoach]

Hey Ashley :) Those suggestions sound awesome! Have a fun day :)

[@DennisKovacich]

And his “Misty Mountains Cold”!

[@desertsavagery]

All good, but how are we missing Sixteen Tons??

[@rosemorris7912]

@@DennisKovacich That's a good one!

[@kimmimcknight3417]

I just found Geoff this morning looking for a totally different song, and well..i'm hooked now...lol. I've done little else today besides listen to everything he's done. Time wasted? I sure don't think so!

[@katherinehite1635]

The bass did a over of 16 tons and it’s amazing.

[@lizwildcatmunro2460]

Geoff Castellucci is the bass

[@SuperNovaKat64]

*hasn't seen Nightmare Before Christmas* Me: What?? That's like.. Blasphemy..

[@trishaurvan9439]

Yay! Finally my friend! The beast that is Geoff! Glad to see you again! Will you be reacting to Far Over the Misty Mountains Cold by Geoff? I hope you do, it is a work of art!

[@CoverCoach]

Hey Trisha :) So happy to be back at it again! The new Misty Mountains is so exciting! Thanks for suggesting it. Have a fun day :)

[@Finderup16]

Definitely watch Geoff doing Sixteen Tons. It's amazing.

[@CoverCoach]

Haha! 🤣

[@bassmanxan3544]

They released the Halo theme recently, Geoff reaches a subharmonic B0 multiple times throughout, it's insane

[@LadyGreensleeves33]

Always my favorite, this arrangement is epic. Btw, Oogie boogie in the animation kind of looks like a creepy badly sewn potato sack ghost but Geoff pulls it off 🤣 Layne plays a ghost dog with a glowing nose, and the other three are like little monster kids that are the boogie man's minions in old-fashioned Halloween costumes lol. Listen to their cover of This Is Halloween or Kidnap the Sandy Claws from the same film. Also What's This though that one is less costumey but has some cool makeup effects.

[@Broomrider1492]

Love their Musical theatre mode in their videos. Going all in. Have some Snake and Spider Stew. Geoffs' brother-in-law is Sandy Claws. Kidnap the Sandy Claws is another of their videos along with This is Halloween.

[@CoverCoach]

Hey :) You're so right about their theatrical covers...going all in! They create worlds for us in the most engaging and awesome ways! Have a fun day :)

[@papatomthune4924]

Geoff has a full 5 octave vocal range! ENJOY! 👌

[@marshayoung9387]

Please do a reaction video of Voice Plays version of The Dragonborn Come. Geoff's low bass is off the charts amazing, Elie's high notes are amazing and the beatboxes is amazing. They all are amazing. Best video yet.

[@russellleitschuh8315]

Its a realistic copy of the scene from the movie. You should watch the movie. No he is jack skellingtons dog zero

[@Aurora-cv5to]

Thanks for your reaction, I appreciated it. Layne's character in the movie is actually a dog with a long, pointed nose. Don't remember if the movie version lights up, or if Layne did that to make it look more pronounced. Would love to hear you respond to the 3 recent minis before yesterday's mini release of Mr. Sandman. They're pretty much all sound effects, and arranged by Layne. Some of it showed up in their last full length release, their stylish re-think of the Fiddler on the Roof classic, "If I were a Rich Man/Girl". (And go ahead, respond to Mr. Sandman, too, it's great fun and only about 50 seconds.)

[@CoverCoach]

Hey Aurora :) Haha...of course the glowing red nose is a...dog! Only in the world of VoicePlay! Thanks for the suggestions - they sound awesome! Have a fun day :)

[@mikal1419]

As an avid fan of The Nightmare Before Christmas, I'm here to confirm that Zero's nose does indeed glow! Towards the end of the movie, there's a riff on the classic reindeer tale in which Zero's bright orange Jack-o-lantern nose leads Jack's sleigh through a thick fog, just as Rudolph did in the original story. (They also demonstrate this light-up feature earlier in the film during a game of fetch, where Zero uses his nose to illuminate a dark tree stump in search of a thrown toy)

[@tishatittle1010]

The nose on the beat boxer represents the dog's nose in the movie. I think his name was Zero....

[@CoverCoach]

Hey Tisha :) Haha! Yeah, NOT Rudolph! 🤣 Have a fun day :)

[@XxRadioactiveGirlxX]

You really need to watch voiceplays covers of My Mother Told Me and the Halo Theme, theres some amazing subharmonics in My Mother Told Me but in the Halo theme Geoff hits a B0!

[@matthewireland1125]

Earl's head voice is like a laser. He then can add a pharyngeal fry to get the sound you are commenting on.

[@Kipperbob]

The thing that gets me about Geoff, I can if I warm up a little sing his low notes but there's no way I can reach his high end, the dude has exceptional range at the high end for a bass singer,

[@alexwalker8440]

Welcome back, coach Phil! There are some videos out there that are compilations of different reactors reacting to Geoff's last note. Yep, it's a famous one! I hope next you can react to Geoff's "Misty Mountains", and VoicePlay's "If I Were a Rich Man / Girl" and "Butter". Great reaction, thanks!

[@CoverCoach]

Hey Alex :) Yeah, it's definitely a special note. I feel it was because he delivered it so fully and with so much resonance, which is something that even the best of our basses find challenging. I look forward to getting on those suggestions. I love that some of them have literally come out between today and my previous video 🤣 Have a fun day :)

[@mandyconway9692]

You should check out Griff's new cover of Misty Mountain. It's awesome.

[@jeffhubley6300]

The weird voices is called character singing... they can all do it

[@nikkibanning176]

Just love this one. To round out your Acapella experience, please react to Pentatonix.Any song will do, they're all brilliant.

[@CoverCoach]

Hey Nikki :) That's such a good suggestion! Have a fun day :)

[@theghost6412]

You should watch the movie at some point. It's like the old movie Gremlins, it is both the perfect Halloween and Christmas movie in one.

[@lucyh9260]

Check out Daddy sang Bass by vioceplay amazing 😀

[@CoverCoach]

Hey Lucy :) Daddy Sang Bass by Coldplay, sure 🤣 I think that's an awesome suggestion. Have a fun day :)

[@dreyhawk]

Geoff easily goes from a B4 to an E1 in moments. It's awe inspiring to listen to him. And he does it so smoothly and seamlessly. The Little Mermaid Medley and the Moana Medley are also fantastic.

[@kenzieprewitt3963]

I have watched a lot of reactors recently and some just dont react 😂 I loved your reaction! I just subscribed! Thanks for the reaction!!!

Hey Dagoberto :) I love that! Thanks :) Hopefully it's the delicious type and not the type that tracks you around the internet 🤣 Have a fun day :)

[@kirstenmorris4314]

Layne, their beat boxer is Zero the ghost dog, Geoff is of course the Boogeyman, Eli, Earl and JNone are the children Lock, Shock, and Barrel. Any time Layne gets a chance to sing it is a treat... As much as I love Geoff's Bass voice Layne has a lovely baritone that is like warm velvet.

[@tatewakinew]

...but when it came you probably were happy that you've already swallowed your drink.

[@CoverCoach]

Hey :) Haha! That's amazing! I'd be viral on the internet... "Geoff's bottom note makes reactor dribble down his top" 🤣 Have a fun day :)

[@Adam1984_]

If you wanna hear *the* lowest Geoff can sing (at least that has been record) check out their cover of the Halo theme. I don't wanna spoil too much, but I will just say that it is confirmed to have the lowest note that Geoff has ever recorded.

[@Bluebell_uk]

Thank you. I was wondering what his lowest note would be

[@detrix42]

Well now, you don't seem to have any Pentatonix reaction videos. Either because you have watched them, and did not record a reaction video, or you have not heard of them yet. I would have assumed that a Home Free, or a Voice Play fan would have recommended them as well. Pentatonix is the A Capella group that brought the A Capella with a beatboxer to the forefront. They are worth going down their rabbit hole. For starters I would suggest the following: Hallelujah (with over 600 million views), Sound of Silence, Bohemian Rhapsody, Daft Punk Medley, Mary Did You Know, 90's Dance music medley. There are 100's more, and all are ear candy.

[@roryfollinpiano2161]

if you’re interested in insane sounds made by the voice, check out HomeFree’s Man of Constant Sorrow

Hey Rory :) Man of Constant Sorrow is amazing! You're so right :) I listen to it on Spotify while I'm walking! Have a fun day :)

I’ve heard that the super high-pitched screechy thing that Earl does starts with nearly swallowing, i.e. engaging and/or tilting (?) your aryepiglottic sphincter, and then loading it up with distortion. I’ve no idea how that actually works anatomically (I’m a drummer, not a vocalist), but that’s supposedly what’s happening.
