Vocal Coach reacts to Geoff-“House of the rising sun”

[@mdswish]

All his stuff is amazing but if you want a real showcase of his skill and range you will want to react to his cover of Blackbird. There he stretches across his entire 5 octave range, complete with 5 part harmony. You're going to be absolutely blown away! Plus, since it's Halloween season you also have to react to his cover of The Headless Horseman. Loved your reaction and analysis as always Danielle!

[@tracyz9155]

Geoff has said that “High and Dry” was one of his favorites. It often gets overlooked. Thanks for your reaction.

[@xsithspawnx]

High and Dry seems to be somewhat divisive with people for some reason from the comments I've seen on it (at least in comparison to some of his other covers), but it's definitely one of my favorite covers of his! It's a bit different from the others in style I think, but it makes for a really nice change of pace in my opinion! Anyways, I would second the recommendation to give it a listen!

[@Broomrider1492]

I saw The Animals sing this on American Bandstand it was #1 on the charts (1964) Geoff did a wonderful job of making this his own. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ He hit a B0 in HALO that VoicePlay just dropped.

[@royj.mattice]

Given we're in October, react to Geoff's "The Headless Horseman" #subscriptionsquad.

[@TheStandar14]

Or his new one "The Monster Mash"

[@floridareedsreviews]

The rest of his covers are "The Headless Horseman", "Over the Misty Mountains Cold," "16 Tons," "Blackbird," "High and Dry," "The Bear Necessities," and "Saddle Up." There's not a one that you should not listen to.

[@brandenwilliams8509]

Let's not forget Country Roads. I love that one.

[@candilunsford2878]

For the bass thrill it's Misty Mountains. He's got an entirely different sound in that one, and low bass all the way through. They are all fantastic though.

[@draygontaygen677]

Danielle don't ask how, just enjoy what your listening too. That's the secret when listening to Geoff. Sixteen tons by Geoff Castellucci is another you will enjoy.

[@Marcell0Bass]

Btw the “ee” vowel is super difficult for low notes. So having that in mind, 2:26 is all the more impressive

[@StephenieStDavis]

His range is just SO ridonkulous!!!! In-freakin-sane!!!!!!! Ugh!!! 😍😍😍

[@siegfriedherrmann6212]

Thank you Danielle: Great job young lady! I enjoyed your reaction to this amazing rendition by Geoff very much! as per usual,,,your reaction vid are immensely entertaining and fun! your amazing and lovely facial expressions as Geoff is singing alone is worth watching your vids Danielle! Thanks once again! Take care and God Bless!

[@jimcoogan1529]

For this time I year I recommend the Headless Horseman for Geoff. It's fun. Misty Mountain and Blackbird would be next in line. #subscriptionsquad

[@creationsbychancecan]

His sixteen tons is awesome too. This song shows Geoff's out of this world sub harmonics. Plus harmonizing with himself is incredibly difficult. Thanks for your insights Jen.

[@harrypatter6998]

Geoff is truly one of a kind! nice to see you back on the chat coach. ❤🙏 #subscriptionsquad

[@Aurora-cv5to]

Loved your reaction, thanks! (Not pushing you away from his private channel, but VoicePlay just dropped a cover of the theme song for Halo, and Geoff hits a new low with B0, while dishing up one of the tastiest bass lines ever. Stunning. And if you do, be sure to listen to the words just after, it's totally worth it to understand the way they think - and feel - about things)

[@joshsouders4175]

If you want to learn how he sings so low, he talks about it in his instructional videos! It’s really cool to learn what his actual mechanics and how he does it, so definitely check it out!

[@athlov]

Geoff has a new one coming out tomorrow. It's been out on Patreon. I love the music, but I also love watching the video. It's so much fun.

[@ninichelidze3088]

Could you check out Georgian Voices & Bobby McFerrin? ❤

[@uncle_thulhu]

Given his range and habit of harmonising with himself, he really is a one-man a capella band. If you want more of his solo stuff, I recommend Blackbird, 16 Tons, or The Headless Horseman. Ooh! Far Over Misty Mountains is also fairly incredible. Oh, and he dropped Monster Mash, like, 15 minutes ago.

[@marynamoradze9240]

Please react to Georgian Voices & Bobby McFerrin💓💓

[@Mieknara]

Of course headless horseman given Halloween. Thers two songs that I recommend hearing on a full sound system. High end headphones may not pick up some of the bass. "Can't help falling in love" by voice play and "mele kalikimaka" by geoff featuring the American sirens.

[@nikiphoresudadze9371]

Hi Danielle, Do you know about Georgia? It isn't state of America, It is Country Georgia in Europe, Which has a special culture and traditions😍 you can see collaboration of "Georgian voices and Bobby McFarren"

[@rickieodem488]

Headless Horseman is a great Halloween song, then Misty Mountains and Blackbird are also my faves. Apart from his astonishing bass and wide range, I am always impressed by his arranging and production skills. Misty Mountains shows off his staging and costuming skills, while Blackbird is a model of simplicity and pure focus on the soundscape. Love your reviews Danielle!

[@lanamerebashvili583]

It would be interesting to check out Georgian Voices & Bobby McFerrin❤❤ I hope you like it!

[@the_fluff_punks]

He just came out with The Monster Mash and it is AMAZING, just like literally everything else he does XD

[@CynicalTesuji]

It's likely been recommended to you before, it is well worth checking out the bass tutorials Geoff has on his channel. He describes (and demonstrates) how he accesses his subharmonic range, as well as discussing things like growl and fry techniques. And it's all done in a wonderfully entertaining manner; he's really good at addressing his audience in a personable manner, and discussing these techniques in a way that makes them understandable and accessible even for non-singers. It's fascinating stuff, honestly. As far as his solo works- just like VoicePlay, you're not going to really go wrong. He's got the Headless Horseman- perfect for spoopy season!-, Blackbird, which is utterly sublime, and of course, the video that sent him practically viral, 16 Tons. That song was how many of his newer fans (myself included) found him, and thus VoicePlay.

[@lipkinasl]

All his stuff is amazing - as we're in October, last year's Halloween special worth checking out is The Headless Horseman, or the new one for this Halloween, just uploaded is Monster Mash.

[@briantwardowski2661]

Monster mash just dropped and is so cool

You really must hear his Monster Mash! It's soooo good!

[@vanessamorris1985]

Yes!!! This one’s so amazing!! So stoked you reacted to it!! For Spooky Season I’d say his Headless Horseman should be next and then my absolute favorite of his: Far Over The Misty Mountains Cold cover 😁

[@sonya700dslr]

he is a great singer love all his stuff...also love your reactions..your smile when he hits the low notes is very nice and pleasing to see.

[@samuelmncedisi1065]

On one of his 'how to sing low' tutorial videos, he said "...your job as a singer is to keep all of your range, and not just worry about the low notes, you want to keep the high notes and the low notes...'' and that really stuck out to me. He self-identifies as a baritone, he wanted to be a tenor, all that, I think, attributed to the vocal range that he has now - he talks about it in the video. Also, men don't sing soprano and alto. It's either countertenor (highest), tenor, baritone or bass, and for women it's mezzo soprano, soprano, alto or contralto (lowest).

How? He uses subharmonics here to reach the lowest note(Eb1) at 4:34 . It's a technique that he uses to reach the notes that are lower than he can sing in chest voice.

Great reaction beautiful lady

[@christinestromberg4057]

He did a close up live performance for patrons, and to be fair it doesn't sound much different. Just one of him, of course. Geoff's lowest note to date is a B0 subharmonic in VoicePlay's HALO. Can he go any lower? People are mentioning his other covers but seem to forget Country Roads, one of my favourites. I loved it way back from John Denver but of course Geoff does his own thing with it.

[@justherbirdy]

Everyone else has made some fantastic suggestions, but in the spirit of Spooky Season can I suggest Geoff's cover of Monster Mash? It only came out like a day ago and it is INCREDIBLE. Loving your reactions and analysis, you make some great points I haven't heard in other reactions. So happy I came across your channel!

[@daviscarranza4923]

I tried telling you beautiful. This man is amazing. I'm telling you anything he does is great. I know its a little early for Christmas but his version of Mele Kalikimaka is awesome as well.

[@Drake844221]

House of the Rising Sun is currently my favorite of his. Before that, it was Sixteen Tons, though I also really loved his Country Roads cover. He just did Monster Mash, and last year, he did The Headless Horseman - both of which you could look at for October ;)

Great reaction, its nice to see someone who really understands what a vocalist is doing in terms of technique break down a song. If you're a fan of Geoff, I would wholeheartedly suggest checking out an artist named Tomi P. His cover of Hellfire is pretty amazing (as well as his other work) and he's got a 6 octave range ;)

[@demosmostawesome8077]

Geoff really puts the bass in bassement!

"Daddy, why is mommy sitting on the subwoofer again?" 🤣🤣🤣 It's just so hilarious to watch these "vocal coach reacts" videos for Geoff Castelluci, because they try so hard to focus and be professional, but they just can't.

[@miapendragon5240]

Geoff has tutorials in his channel of how he goes that low you can check them out if you want. Also, all of his covers are good, just pick the one that most interests you, if you wanna go with the theme of Halloween I'd recommend Headless Horsemen and I know he's releasing something Halloween related soon. Also, check out VoicePlay's HALO Theme

[@jameswilliams4566]

I love Geoff, he is one of the best Bass singers I've ever heard. He has a 5 Octave range. Tim Storms is the Genius record holder for the lowest bass note ever sung. It was a G-7 bas note that humans can't hear, only animals can hear it. Tom also is the Genius book of records holder for having the biggest vocal range at 8_10 Octaves. I like Geoff Castilucci better because he is much more clearer when singing.

[@landrion7]

Tim storms low notes are seriously subsonic but like you said they aren't as clear Geoff has such a smooth clear voice through all his range he is a true master vocalist

I have to say, your reactions were pretty much the same as my own. Lol. It's amusing. As for Geoff, he did say he has a 4-octave range. I'm working on improving my own range but I would appreciate any help you can offer as to how to relax my throat to hit the lower notes. On a good day, my range is from A3 (without straining) to F5 once warmed up. When I'm sick, I can reach A2 but I can't seem to get my throat to be able to reach A2 when I'm healthy for some reason.

Blackbird will amaze you both professionally and for the entertainment quality. And Geoff just dropped Monster Mash yesterday. It's a fun one for October. Oh, and his version of Far Over The Misty Mountains Cold is well worth your listening time. It's simple, haunting style is sublime. It's equally as good as Peter Hollen's version offering a different and interesting take. You really can't go wrong with anything the Geofftet sings.
