Vocal Coach Reacts to Geoff Castellucci - Misty Mountains Cold

[@fezzik7619]

Whenever Geoff arranges for the “other three Geoffs” you’re usually in for something insanely good.

[@CynicalTesuji]

Yep, like everyone is saying, not only does Geoff arrange for himself, he also arranges for VoicePlay. In fact, one of VoicePlay's most recent- Hoist the Colours, from Pirates of the Caribbean- is a song that he arranged, and it is *intense*. He's massively talented- well, he and all the guys in VoicePlay, really- and the full creative package. Honestly, that is one of the things I like best about VoicePlay (and Geoff!); they start from the arrangement and go all the way through the video production in terms of creative control. It's always fantastic to see an artist have that kind of command over their artistic vision, and getting to see what he and VoicePlay end up creating is always a delight.

[@Scuffer00]

Geoff actually did the arrangement for the Elvira cover that Home Free did with The Oakridge Boys as well

[@delord1619]

@@Scuffer00 I didn't know that... thanks.

[@Scuffer00]

@@delord1619 They thank him at the end of the video lol

[@stephanginther9051]

He's done arrangements for others too. Peter Hollen's cover of the same song feat. Tim Faust thanks Geoff for the arrangement in the credits. The Home Free cover of Alvira feat. the Oak Ridge Boys does the same.

[@huldradraco]

@@Scuffer00 actually he didn't really arrange it. Home Free heard one of Geoff's arrangements for Elvira and liked the feel of the song, and asked him if they could make their own version of his arrangement as they liked the drive and feel of it. Geoff agreed and they decided to give him arrangement credits for the song. so technically he didn't arrange it directly, but they did borrow from his arrangement. this is verified in an interview.

[@joshuaspinney3208]

To answer the questions within, he arranges and edits his videos himself, with the help of his wife (who also does his makeup and costuming with him!)

[@aredub1847]

i imagine she does many things. his hum could do many things as well.

Haha not only female xD

[@kamilsotysik1921]

Exactly, I'm like... superstraigth! But still, I'm trembling both inside and outside at the moments which is highly... ummm, disturbing? xD What can we do?

[@joshuaspinney3208]

And lastly, I know it’s been recommended before but Please Wear Headphones when watching his (and Voiceplays) videos! There is so much intensity that gets lost without quality audio directly in your ears.

[@MarkBtvd]

If you still see comments 2 years on, there are several Geoff Castellucci covers that you might want to react to, including: Folsom Prison Blues (Johny Cash) Ghost Riders in the Sky (Stan Jones, famously covered by Johny Cash). This one is especially impressive for me.

[@MrAaronjones14]

you are adorable every time he sings a low note

[@JonathonHersh]

I recommend looking up his youtube and reacting to all of his newly published videos :) Also you should check out Geoff's whole group Voiceplay

[@mdswish]

Geoff is definitely a very unique talent. If you want to see the true scope of his abilities you should definitely check out his cover of The Beatles classic "Blackbird". He showcases his entire 5-octave range (which is currently from B0 to around A4) and 5 part harmony. And yes, he does his own arrangements, both for his own work and also for his group Voiceplay. Voiceplay's beatboxer, Layne, also does a lot of arrangements for them as well. Geoff's wife Kathy usually does a lot of the makeup and costumes, so she's very involved as well. You really can't go wrong with any of Geoff's or Voiceplay's work. It's all fantastic! I'm very much looking forward to seeing more of your reactions to their stuff!

[@tatewakinew]

A5, not A4.

[@TheRealHululu]

[@danielschmidt147]

I don’t know that he’s ever hit an A0 before, but I could be there wrong in which case feel free to provide the video in which he does it! :)

[@dannydoc1969]

Great reaction as usual. Geoff is dressed as the characters in the Hobbit movies. This song is from one of the Hobbit movies.

[@bkm83442]

If you read the description, Geoff literally did everything. The arrangement, production...everything.

[@3dbadboy1]

An album of his songs is what to listen to on a lazy afternoon.

[@thewrenchreviews9986]

Check out Geoff's arrangement of Hoist the Colors (Pirates of the Carribbean) with Voiceplay.

[@christinestromberg4057]

Join the club. VoicePlay and Geoff are my favvourites. i love many types of music but right now nothing moves me more that these. The harmonies he creates are spine tingling. Geoff is one of the two main arrangers in their group VoicePlay. The other is Layne Stein, the vocal percussionist, although occasionally someone else will get the credit.

[@andrewkeesey3858]

The fact that she doesn't know this is from the hobbit..... hurts my soul.

[@mikebunner3498]

You were not kidding about low bass voices and how you reacted to them. You have chosen a perfect video to react to. This man's voice is explodes your head. So GOOD. Great range. His low notes are super special. You got so excited. Understandable. Yes he is so good. Best of luck on you all's group lessons. Take care.

[@Spidywomack]

He makes all his arrangements. Hes so talented

[@dalebuck7168]

In Voiceplays new vid "Halo Theme", Geoff finally did it and hit a B0 twice! He is phenomenal...

[@chlistens7742]

yes this was arranged by Geoff... he is one of the members of VoicePlay and both he and Layne do most of the arrangement and Layne is a co-owner of the studio that it was filmed in Pattycake Productions

[@The_Cranky_Painter]

I just want to see your reaction to his cover of House of the Rising Sun. There's so much going on in that one! Thanks for another fun video. You're so cheerful it's an automatic mood lifter! :D

[@waylandwebb1942]

Absolutely

[@mrbrianc]

Every time I hear this, I have the strange feeling that I need to put on my armor, say goodbye to the family, and ride off to battle against some epic foe. What an amazing arrangement and reaction.

[@Broomrider1492]

For fun, you need to check out his Halloween release of The Monster Mash. Geoff does his own arrangements. Check the credits on his videos. He does a lot of his own stuff. VoicePlay just reliest Hoist the Colors that he arranged the cover, the lighting, and the video.

[@theloneranger8725]

Monster Mash is very good, and contains a cameo appearance of his wife, Kathy. BTW, it should be "released Hoist The Colors," not "reliest."

[@Broomrider1492]

[@christopherkappenman6435]

you earned yourself another subscriber. You give great reactions and don't pause the videos 40 times to listen and react.

[@gustavylinen4162]

I would say that geoff castellucci - house of the rising sun is one of the best to get to experience his range! 😍

[@indus3270]

"Oh those harmonies! OMG! OM..." *perplexed silence* Yep, that went as expected XD

[@miapendragon5240]

He does almost everything, he arranges, films, sings, edits...always with his wife's help and sometimes with someone else for costumes and makeup (you can see the credits in the descriptions of the videos). He also arranges a lot with his a capella group, VoicePlay, you should react to them, Hoist the Colours is a really good one, also the Oogie Boogie Song (now that Halloween is coming)

[@dunexapa1016]

Reaction - Priceless 😀

[@singlechristiancowboy]

YES! FINALLY! This is like Christmas morning for me, ma'am. I don't know if you saw my reaction to the Sixteen Tons video, but I was gettin worried that you were fixin to go back on your word about lovin us bass boys. Thank you for returnin to your guilty pleasure and PLEASE keep em comin cause......you gotta LOTTA catchin up to do! Hope you and yorn have a goodun.🇺🇸✝️🤠

[@odoetah]

A great video reaction to do for Halloween from Geoff Castellucci would be the headless horseman.

[@phoenixkukini9812]

If you haven't seen Geoff's cover of Blackbird, I think that's his best arrangement

[@tyghe_bright]

Agreed. It's really beautiful.

[@primemover1416]

@5:19, OMG! I really thought she was going to ask if we knew if Geoff was single!

[@gareldmarks224]

Oh oh oh. Oogie boogie song. Its voiceplay but Geoff takes lead. By far my personal favorite

Yes Geoff does his arrangements and also does alot for VoicePlay as well,,great reaction : )

[@drkarchon92]

Love the reaction! Yes, he is in a group called Voiceplay and they are phenomenal too...definitely check them out. But for more Geoff Castellucci check out House of the Rising Sun, 16 Tons, and his latest one, Monster Mash.

[@GrouchyOldBear7]

Thanks for the video. I enjoyed it.

[@Quizzy0000]

im the geoff left middle on the end needing a drink after this :)

[@sebastiendominique666]

This is so calming..! I'm going into relaxation hearing this..!!!

[@gareldmarks224]

This is from The Hobbit. And yes Hoist the Colors is a must from voiceplay. For Geoffs best see Blackbird

[@Tryst46]

Geoff is a member of Voiceplay, an acapella group that doesn't just sing, they put on a full production. Check out their videos of the Moana Medley and The Little Mermaid Medley. Costume, make-up, scenery, effects and the whole works go into it. On top of that, each person in the group gets right into character for it, the result is that it's like watching a whole movie condensed into a few minutes.

[@sandrapittman1305]

You should listen to “High and Dry” by Geoff. It is him and a keyboard! So raw, vulnerable and authentic! There is also a new KZbin video about Geoff’s wife and her hearing loss. It is so awesome!

[@dalemaddened780]

If you have not reacted to voiceplay (the group he is in) you need to drop everything and do it now! They have SO many great songs to pick from. Geoff definitely arranges his songs.

[@uc9ers]

[@kaldoriastory8011]

This man is who a aspire to become :o , I am a bass/baritone myself, and I LOVE all of Geoff's music, even trying to follow some of his tutorials.

Most women love a real man. Rock on Geoff

[@EpicUncleEpicUncle]

Favorite part of the song is when they sing we must away

[@vdimasteremeritus]

I sang in high school, did the school musicals, and still have a good voice. For a very brief moment in my life, I considered a career in vocal performance until I started coming across people like Geoff. Talent on a level that is once or twice (Mitch with Pentatonix) a generation quickly steered me into my current career. Such a talent.

[@nadavrand6304]

If you enjoyed his singing, he also has 'the headless horseman', where he goes the absolute lowest at the end. And it is suuuuuper catchy.

[@SoulFeather111]

You're so beautiful! I love love love your reactions to Geoff and his group Voiceplay.

[@tevvya]

Always fun to hear you react to Geoff! You might also like his cover of the Beatles' song "Blackbird" (It's a bit like 16 tons but he plays the piano on-screen!)

[@winston9587]

that song gave me cold shivers he is a great singer.

[@aliciacarias1248]

Yes, Arranged, produced, filmed, performed, and edited by Geoff Castellucci

[@drix4275]

I have met people from Sweden and Norway who had beautiful, blond hair but your hair isn't blond, it's gold-like. If you got an actress role as an Elven character in Tolkien's world solely for your Galadriel hair it wouldn't surprise me. ^o^

[@imemployed1524]

[@Nielafreh]

Ahahahah Lara definitely going crazy in this video

[@Rockb333]

The best song to see his full range is Blackbird. one of my favorites by him.

[@shaynepattie9890]

He arranges all his covers himself. He also did the arrangements for Voiceplay.

[@ianmemes5364]

I love she's in the middle of saying something then Geoff starts singing and no word

[@steveray9655]

I believe he also did the arrangement for Home Free's cover of "Elvira", featuring The Oakridge Boys. With Halloween coming up, I would recommend Geoff's cover of "The Headless Horseman", as well as Voiceplay's covers of "This Is Halloween", "Oogie Boogie's Song", and "Grim Grinning Ghosts".

[@neumus1]

The character screen left is absolutely Thorin Oakenshield. Dead give away is MISTY MOUNTAINS

[@ToOliver22]

You are adorable! :) You MUST check out Hoist the Colours by the group he is in. They will give you sensory overload! If you want to hear him in his upper range, listen to the Oogie Boogie song AND Fiddler on the Roof (VoicePlay)

[@victorbangle5050]

Hi There! Geoff released a sequel to this call "I See Fire" please react to that....I love how taken you are with Geoff's voice!

I hope you know that every character is Goff Castellucci this is so cool you should also react to his version of “ 16 Tons “ it one of my favorites and if you haven’t seen Home Free “Man of Constant Sorrow “

[@jimcoogan1529]

The information with his videos tell you who does what. But he does a lot of the arrangements for himself and the group he is in, Voiceplay, and does video editing too.

[@CrimFerret]

Yeah, not only does he have that incredible voice, but he arranges the songs he and Voiceplay do as well.

[@derekhagen4697]

[@francescoliviovarani4923]

Ciao Lara, è la seconda reazione a Castellucci che vedo, e meravigliosa! Mi piacerebbe tanto avere la sua estensione vocale, ma come ti ho detto nell'altro commento, la mia voce è quella di baritono. Di per sé ho una buona estensione tragli alti e i bassi, ma come ho già detto mi piacerebbe arrivare ancora più in basso. 👍👍👍😉😉😉

[@bjspeck4337]

I've watched Outlander 3 times so far and read the books 4 times except for the latest one Tell the Bees that I am Gone.

Dear Jen, I really liked your reactions and your friendliness, you are cute, very charismatic, fun and beautiful too... I've been your fan since now. 😅🤣😂👏👏👏😚☺️😗 What bass low singer!

[@coolcat8b]

Is he part of an a capella group? YES HE IS! Please check out VoicePlay's videos as well, for more amazing song versions. May I suggest "Hoist the Colours", "The Monster Mash", and if you've never seen it, please check his "Oogie Boogie Song" (just in time for Halloween)! 🎃

[@williamswidal1318]

If no one has told you yet, his a capella group is Voiceplay. Check their rendition of This is Halloween, which really shows off Geoff's range

[@delord1619]

Hi, I've got two suggestions, we're getting close to Halloween and the Headless Horseman is good as well and fun. The second isn't for a reaction, it's more of a tutorial on Geoff's channel, on how to sing low. It's interesting to watch.

[@Toblies]

If you wish to see a truly mind-blowing example of Geoff's range and skill, check out his cover of Blackbird. He hit's some very beautiful high notes and it's a fairly simple arrangement. It really lets you hear his voice and how he's put the arrangement together. As you mentioned, Geoff is also a member of Voiceplay, an acapella group of other incredibly talented folks. He does his own arrangements, and he and Layne Stein, another member of Voiceplay, do a lot of the arranging for Voiceplay. Voiceplay's cover of I Can't Help Falling In Love is an incredibly lovely showcase of Geoff's vocal talents, and many of the other members as well.

[@froza_legend]

I absolutely Geoff's singing and I love this Infamous song from "The Hobbit" which is part of "Lord of the Rings" but I love the Clamavi de Profundis version more. This is the only time that I will say Geoff has not lived up to a song, but Calmavi has my vote.

[@j3pelfrey]

I grew up on the Hobbit both the books and the Rankin Bass animated movie. This is what I always dreamed that Thorin And Company sounded like in Bilbo's drawing room. If I was Bilbo this song would make me crave an adventure. I might even leave without my pocket handkerchief.

[@MarkBtvd]

I see you’re concentrating on coaching, but if you’re going to do more reactions, I highly recommend the cover of Misty Mountains Cold by Peter Hollens featuring Tim Foust (from Home Free). There’s so much to interest and excite a vocal coach's heart. Even if you don’t do a reaction, at least look it up and listen for yourself. MB

[@bradclifton5248]

HE does it all. He also arranged Homefrees/Oakridgeboys collab on Elvira too.

[@aaroncoffman88]

If you are going to checkout Voiceplay, the group Geoff is with, I suggest their Little Mermaid medley. As it is October checkout Geoff's versions of the Headless Horseman and Monster Mash. Both are perfect songs for Halloween

[@redmonster8252]

Much like Voiceplay, you can find arrangements and other information in the description below the video.

[@TheNeonParadox]

I tried hitting a note that low once. It took the emergency surgeon quite some time to figure out how to get my larynx out of my quadricep.

[@dreyhawk]

Voice Play's newest song, Dragonborn Come from Skyrim, is absolutely awesome and a good one to react to. He does his own arrangements for himself and for the group he and Layne kind of take turns doing arrangements.

[@Dreamer19138]

Oogie Boogies song by Voiceplay is another one that shows off his bassy chops and his synergy with the group. Check it out

[@racefan2k3]

Another group you may want to check out is Home Free... They are a 5 man acapella group with truly amazing talent rivaling Pentatonix but with a country bent. Start with anything, but their cover of Man of Constant Sorrow is a favorite for reactors.

[@VerchielxKanda]

Outlander? Game Of Thrones? You're close! It's actually from The Hobbit. =)

[@3dbadboy1]

FYI, this is from The Hobbit, An Unexpected Journey where the dwarves and singing (chanting) in Bilbo's house as they contemplate the journey to reclaim their homelands.

[@aaronpaulbaker]

Tim Foust (bass of home free) just came out with a solo doo wop album. You need to check out “will you still love me tomorrow?”

[@OIOI-yk1uc]

Geoff is definitely also good with arrangements. I was re-watching Home Free with the Oak Ridge Boys and it was Geoff that arranged that "Elvira" cover.

[@kathyschaefer5768]

[@elizabethhostetter1946]

as i understand, Geoff does his own arranging, videography, mixing, editing - as does VoicePlay, the group he sings with. He's also done arrangements for other a cappella groups - Home Free and Oak Ridge Boys' Elvira comes to mind, i think.
