Have you reacted from any songs from the TV show Smash

[@TheMonk72]

If Danny likes that E1 - and we know he did - then you should watch VoicePlay's Halo Theme together. Geoff finally broke into octave zero, twice in one performance.

[@darrenheadrick3669]

I've watched some of voiceplays live performances and it does sound like Geoff can get that volume with those bottom notes.

[@RichardBerg-qi7if]

Actually 7 .. only few can ..

[@jeannordstrm3935]

this is alll geoff no help needed

[@kellywilliams364]

Geoff has a 5 octave range. The last note was a subharmonic. He is great with subharmonics. He can project clearly in his low range the best of any other bassist I have heard.

[@SgtSplatter782]

Subharmonic E1 I think.

[@Amprae]

@@SgtSplatter782 indeed it was an E1, not his lowest anymore either now, in their HALO cover he hits a B0 twice

[@MrTech226]

@@SgtSplatter782 Yes it is Vocal Coaches verify that is an E1 note

[@Stan_S_Stanman]

I would be interested to know if he can hit a Bb5 or B5, with proper warm-up. He says that A5 is his highest note at any given day.

[@lobocop6043]

He can hit that last note with no assist on volume. He did it on his tiktok.

[@ChrisHaar]

Geoff can definitely get power and volume in his sub harmonic range.

[@Tryst46]

Yes, Geoff has a lot of power, even in the very low range. I can almost match him for the low notes, but I can't get anywhere near his power.

[@joshuaspinney3208]

Y’all need to watch some of Geoffs solo stuff, because he doesn’t have “studio help” that’s all his voice. You can hear him knock out those notes live.

[@Tryst46]

He also does a video on how to sing low notes where he shows you how to do subharmonics. That's where I learned to do it and I can now match Geoff down to a D1. I'd love to do that B0 he does in the Halo theme.

[@WSlopeAggie]

@@Tryst46 The amount of control for a B0 subharmonic man. You have to hold a B1 chest, already super difficult, then over-support the shit out of it basically. Insane.

[@qcrew2938]

He does turn the volume up on those subharmonics though... its impossible to get that low a note to sound that loud

[@danielstephens1185]

@@qcrew2938 that note and the end one for Headless Horseman are more felt than heard, seems like. E1 and F1, respectively, apparently.

[@tlxatom7004]

@@danielstephens1185 not really i start to lose volume when i hit arount D1 and below. E1 like we see in this vid isnt hard to get volume especially with Geoffs training and practice

[@CrimFerret]

No tech help, he can hit down to a B0 with his subharmonics and down to a F1 in full chest voice. Other than amplifying the volume, that's it.

[@OMGItzCourts]

I think that’s what he meant :)

[@CrimFerret]

@@OMGItzCourts I don 't. I think he was implying there was autotune or some such involved which there wasn't. They can and do perform live. Almost all singers are amplified to one degree or another.

[@sersastark]

@@OMGItzCourts no he said he had tech help.

[@Tryst46]

He can do a D1 chested. I can chest E1 myself, but D1, I have to use subharmonics. I learned this while listening to his tutorial. If you do a slide, you can hear the transition from chest to subharmonic, there is no transition from Geoff until he goes below D1, you can hear that transition in a couple of his songs he's done in his own channel, Blackbird is one of them.

[@lkreinmiller-author]

Geoff is the first to admit he can go low but he isn’t a loud singer. People who know music say he has a 5 octave range. I take their word for it because I don’t know music. I just know VoicePlay is amazing.

[@johnphillips4909]

5 octaves is a bit more than Geoff's range, but it's close. His range is a little over four octaves on any given day but he can use techniques to get just shy of 5 octaves.

[@Tryst46]

Geoff also says he's a tenor, so I wouldn't put too much stock in what he says. He's being a little TOO modest methinks. He has got quite a bit of power in those lows, more than most people anyway.

[@johnphillips4909]

@@Tryst46 Geoff says he’s a baritone, not a tenor.

[@shirleykarr560]

Geoff says in one of his tutorial vids on his solo channel that he's a baritone who has trained to sing bass. Tim Foust of Home Free is a natural bass, and you can hear it in his speaking voice, which is just a little deeper than Geoff's. When Layne arranged Oogie Boogie, it required Geoff's highest and lowest notes he could hit at the time. I've seen concert footage of them doing it live. The upper notes take more effort but he hits them, and that last "Boogie man" is just as low as in the vid. He can go even lower now -- he hits a B0 in their Halo theme.

[@upsidedownpyramid7617]

@@shirleykarr560 I will say it is possible for a lower baritone to learn to sing bass as that’s what I’ve been doing. I don’t think you can get the projection that he gets in his lows without being a natural bass though. He was just a bass who hadn’t developed their low register enough beforehand.

[@janetdw]

Immediatrly after Layne says "to add a little spice", Geoff does a deep bass run.

[@DarchrowTheEnigma]

One of the cool rifts I've ever heard a bass does 😌

[@Genthar]

He was asked about that and he actually said that was Layne doing a little production magic for that little run.

[@maeco7]

It's still a very cool run, it's just layered - he sang it in one octave, then a lower one and they were layered on top of each other.

[@Tryst46]

@@Genthar There's a bit of production magic in most of VP's theatrical performances. They can do it live and use techniques like autotune to get the same effects. Only when they do a competition such as the sing offs do they refrain from those special techniques.

[@upsidedownpyramid7617]

@@maeco7 yeah it always sounded a bit impossible without studio work to sound like that. Subharmonics can’t get the same tone as he did singing it in two seperate chest octaves.

[@NeckCS2]

At the end there you said you'd love to hear him do it live, well guess what? He has, and its posted on youtube! He is definitely a sight to behold. Geoff is not only my favorite singer in Acapella, but all of music.

[@TheSpyderx82]

That last note (E1) still stands 👏 I don't generally care for live performances but I understand that's just me (my brain likes whatever it memorizes first, a cognitive bias I believe).

[@christineschutten8101]

He's my favorite too!😊

[@glennjanot8128]

Few reactors notice how low the base riffs of Layne are in his beatboxing

[@tracyz9155]

On Geoff’s solo channel he has videos explaining how to sing lower which have techniques and such. You can also find his two solo Halloween efforts “Headless Horseman” and “Monster Mash” (a new release). You will also hear the backup “Geoff’s” as he harmonizes with himself. VoicePlay has some other Halloween offerings, too, like “This is Halloween” and “What’s this”. Thanks for your reaction

[@gilliandrysdale5306]

you should listen to their queen in 5 minutes and also check out Geoff’s cover of blackbird to hear his range

[@Broomrider1492]

Sandy Claws is Geoff's brother-in-law. He's has hit that E1 it live.

[@huldradraco]

Geoff's range is from B0 to A5, so pretty insane :) the only studio help he has to hit those low notes, is amplifying the volume as notes that low are barely audible and need some extra volume to blend proper in with the volume of the rest of the song. he uses a mix of chest voice, fry notes, growl notes and subharmonics for the low notes. seems like a lot of people took the "he needs studio help for that note" as a "he can't hit that note without studio help" when you clearly specified it was for volume. and yes, Geoff has said many times that he needs his mic turned up very high during his performances, because bass notes that low are by nature very low in volume. we all know he can hit those live, even during live streams, but they aren't loud enough for a performance without really loud volume. the bass notes a little higher up though are quite booming :D

[@Tryst46]

He has said that someone who really knows what they are doing on the sound system during a live performance is essential. I would guess they have a sound guy who knows the songs and can alter the volume etc on the fly. Without that, Geoff would wipe out all the speakers when he goes up high and needs the volume reduced a lot.

[@upsidedownpyramid7617]

This is exactly my experience, I always thought that I was just a standard baritone because I can’t project a loud operatic C2. I can only project down to an Eb2 but I can sing chest down to A1, chest fry to E1, subharmonics to B0, growl to A0, and fry to F0. I am more of a bass baritone but with good sound on my mic live or by upping the volume of the low notes on my software it’s absolutely booming. Geoff is a lower bass than me (with slightly higher upper range too) and he is a much older, more experienced, and overall better singer, but I absolutely look up to what he does and it’s good knowing that even he is human and still needs amplification when singing down there.

[@huldradraco]

@@upsidedownpyramid7617 yeh, only true basses can project in the lower bass range, as that is their natural range, while Geoff's natural range is in the lower baritone. He's a big inspiration for many young basses and bass-baritones, as he also started off as a baritone with just a basic bass range and very little high range. through hard work and dedication (and some genetic luck as well ofc) he has worked his way to the range he has today. he has also shown that being a bass is cool 😁😁

[@SeliahK]

Yeeeeah. Look up some of the live Voiceplay vids here on KZbin. You'll get to see him do that completely live. LOL. He uses subharmonics when he feels he needs them. If you're really curious, go check Geoff Castellucci's own KZbin channel. He actually has three video tutorials posted where he explains how he gets down into those ranges. He's also very open about usage of microphones and where his voice can go with and without a microphone. But yes, he has done this live. They've actually performed Oogie Boogie live as well. The man has a five octave range, and considers himself a baritone with a bass range, no matter how many of us consider him a bass with a baritone reach. LOL! That said, though, if you look up his own channel and give his tutorial vids a look/listen, you'll find his natural, casual speaking voice is way down in the basement already. ;) If you want another really good demonstration of Geoff's range, check out Voiceplay's cover "If I Were A Rich Man/Girl." They had Ashley Diane on as a guest, and OMG, between her and Geoff, and Cesar and Eli and Layne just... it's an awesome piece with a completely different feel from this one. Really a cool piece of work they did there. Also Geoff's solo covers of Bare Necessities, House of the Rising Sun, and Monster Mash are wonderful, too. He did a cover of 16 Tons as well, and I never get tired of listening to that man sing. 🤣 Him, Avi Kaplan, and Tim Faust are all AMAZING low singers. All of them bring so much talent and skill to the table. The big guy here in this video doing the really high vocal fry character voice is Earl. He left the group about a year ago-ish. He is an amazing high tenor, too, as is Eli. Eli's voice is so freaking versatile, I love it when they give him the space to just soar with it. Layne is super talented also. He does beat boxing/vocal percussion, he's outstanding on the violin and has such an angelic voice when he actually sings. He and Geoff both do arrangements for VP as well. And I believe Layne does some work with Patty Cake Productions also. A few other VP vids I can think off right off the cuff here.. Billie Eilish, Panic! in 4 Minutes Part 1, Panic in 4 Minutes Part 2, Queen in 5 Minutes, Here Comes Halloween, Kidnap the Sandy Claws, My Mother Told Me, Hoist the Colors, Mission: Jingle Bells... There's a few to get you started. ;) Anyway. :) That's probably way more information than you ever wanted. But yes, Geoff can reach the basement, then take out the floor with a vocal sledgehammer and go lower. LOL. He acknowledges the limits of how far his voice can reach off-mic, but frankly, even off-mic he has a hell of a strong reach for his range. Definitely give his video tuts a listen if you're curious about how he does it. Incidentally, those tuts can be beneficial to women, too. I'm a female with a contralto range, and the basic techniques he goes over have actually helped me as well. We all have to work within the limits of what our own instrument can produce, but the techniques can be applied up or down the ranges just fine. Or maybe I'm just a weird geek who loves learning new techniques and is just weird enough to have to try it anyway. LOL. Anyhow. That's all I'll say. I'm sure I've over-written in the comments section again like I always do. 😂 Enjoy looking into both his own channel and the Voiceplay group channel. They are, along with Home Free and Pentatonix, right at the top of their game. I love all three groups.

[@camctrail]

Geoff has videos on his own channel (Geoff Castellucci) on how he sings super low. You should react to "how to sing really low, a short tutorial"

[@christinestromberg4057]

Geoff has made videos on How to sing low, or very low. He shares his techniques for anyone interested. And yes, he does have to get up close but he can do it live now too. He gets very low in The House of the Rising Sun, and he made a live version for his patrons (of which I am one) so we know he can do it live.

[@danielnewey6225]

There's a live version it's pretty raw but still sounds spot on and he definitely projects that last sub just fine

[@mnkybl8]

I can’t wait til you do the Moana medley by voice play!!!

[@R-Bob123]

I absolutely love that medley!!!!!!

[@candilunsford2878]

The Halo theme VoicePlay just released has Geoff hitting a B0 and sustaining it for several measures. If you want his full octave range in one song try his solo releases of Blackbird and High and Dry.

[@declaneric]

Boy are you in for a surprise, because that subharmonic isn't even hard for him anymore. He doesn't just sing it with power, he can enunciate lyrics clearly with it. He does a tutorial to show how he does it, it'll blow your mind.

[@RyunaRin]

You totally need to react to Geoff singing Misty Mountain! It's all him and it gives me absolute chills between the harmonies and how deep he goes. He's incredible and Voice Play as a whole are all amazing.

[@carinalindberg7377]

Geoff Castelucci of VoicePlay as well as Tim Foust of Home Free both have ranges of 5+ octaves and they got pretty good breath control, volume control and can hold their Nora fire long times without the need of technological support. Mind you, produced songs du have the fun benefit of giving a bit support to occasionally enhance it, but only occasionally. If you haven't checked out Home Free yet I highly recommend you do. They are the country band of acapella, although they don't only do songs from the country genre. Man of Constant Sorrow is a popular place to start for many reactors. In both groups, VoicePlay and Home Free, there are also incredible beatboxers, singers with 4+ ranges and Home Free has two crazy good tenors. VoicePlay recently lost a couple of members and is one "man" down, but correctly use guests to feature. Their cover of Halo was released recently. It features Scott Porter, last seen in the last series of Lucifer, who was a founding member and their original beatboxer. Crazy good!

[@lisaseverance6785]

Not to mention that Tim and Geoff are friends and have worked together to learn to hit the sub harmonics. Some say Tim taught Geoff how to hit the growl notes easier. Tim seems to hit them as regularly as Geoff (including blowing speakers in live performances) and like Geoff, he has a great tenor voice as well.

[@Tryst46]

A low doesn't use a lot of air. I'm not a professional singer by any stretch of the imagination and even I can hold a E1 for around 20 seconds. Geoff's professional training means he can hold it a lot longer if he needs to. In the Moana Medley, he holds two low notes one after the other, the first for around 10 seconds and the second for about 4 seconds with almost no time to take a breath in between them, the follows it by a run without breathing of around 11 seconds on various low notes. He also holds a low note for a while in My Mother Told Me.

[@fredschneideratemybaby8001]

Geoff just released a Monster Mash cover you need to check out and my personal favourite Voiceplay song that doesn't get reacted to enough is a cover of We're Good by Dua Lipa, you should look into those

[@Redwillow34]

I would definitely recommend VoicePlay's cover of Hoist the Colors that has a lot of low note range. Also if you like low notes, Home Free also has a singer Tim Foust with a low range and their covers are awesome too!

[@peterbear4413]

That last note? He's done that live. No studio help at all. Man is the master of subharmonics.

[@laurimurphy112]

Just so you know, Geoff is confirmed to be a 5 octave singer and he can and does hit F1 live. He and Voice Play have also done their high ranges live. which is not to say that they don't do some post production on their soundtracks, (of COURSE they do) but... the range(s) are REAL and unreal and not just for Geoff, Eli and Layne in particular are astounding. you really need to hear Hoist the Colors and If I were a rich man/girl as well as go the distance and carry on wayward son. the truly amazing thing about Geoff and Layne (who usually arrange Voice Play's music) is how innovative they are and how they can (and DO) showcase every member of the performance to the benefit of us all LOL enjoy the ride (and keep your ears and mind open) you and your fellow are in for a treat! (and in keeping with the season some tricks as well)

[@-.NYX.-]

omg i love your butterflies!! *hugs* so happy you guys chose this one!!! ♥

[@MrTech226]

Hello That last note Geoff hits is an E1. That's all him! No tech help. Geoff trains his voice in subharmonics. He has a channel on KZbin: Geoff Castellucci. In one video, Geoff explains how to sing bass without damaging his vocal chords. He explains also about subharmonics too. Other vocal coaches and singers are amazed at Geoff's vocal performance as they react to him and his involvement in Voice Play.

[@Leo2309]

Geoff is a 5 octave singer and he goes in this song from I think an E1 to a B4 across the song and he does several 2-3 octave jumps in the course of a line, it's incredibly impressive.

[@darkaura8466]

Geoff's voice is amazing! Not to mention how he handles and takes care of it. And with his range, you know it took a lot of time for him to be able to sing such a range anyway. And I love even when he sings subharmonics up to his higher notes, they all are still very clean. I also love the amount of control he has over his voice and how he uses it.

[@chenmd16]

Glad you enjoyed VoicePlay. One of my favorite “bands.” Hope you will check out more of their songs, my favorites are Tennessee Whiskey and Daddy Sang Bass, Queen in five minutes, Boy bands in five minutes, if you like Disney they have several medleys. If you like Billie Eilish, They have three videos that tell a story - Trapped and Panic at the disco one and two. While the voices when recorded separately in the video, Geoff hits those notes live.

[@johnnusz8278]

I love seeing his reaction... I love how the fist syncopated background set you see him enjoying the fun uniqueness of it.

[@manenkoff]

That's just Geoff. He really can hit that low. Yes, he does keep the mic close to his mouth like all bass singers hitting those super low notes. But he easily hits those low notes without much need of any help or boosting. He's known for taking out speakers at live concerts due to those low notes.

[@dinodasbunce6224]

The last note Geoff hit was an E1, the lowest I have heard him hit so for is a Bb0. When you get into his upper range he has almost a 6 octave range a clear vocal magic.

[@heymikey4025]

There’s at least one video of them doing Oogie Boogie live that I’ve seen. It’s called: Voiceplay - Oogie Boogie - Valley Forge Casino, 12/20/2019 and it’s posted by Stacy Tee You could see what you think of his range on this video of him singing live…

Now you see why I (and others) asked for this one. Now you'll need to listen to some Home Free. Tim Faust, bass of Home Free and Geoff have a lot of respect for each other. Geoff has even done a few arrangements for Home Free and for a video by Peter Hollens featuring Tim Faust.

The best part about watching the Oogie Boogie video is doing it with the captions on. They get funny. For Geoff’s last few notes, lol… the captions are funny. I’m not gonna say why. But go check it out if you’re curious 😉

[@kimberlygabaldon3260]

The last note, (the subharmonic), i've seen Jonathan Goldman do that in a large conference room, in person, and it was startlingly LOUD, (people jumped). Also fairy sustained; at least as long as it was here. It was like a blast from a didgeridoo. I don't know if he had the microphone close, or if the acoustics of the room amplified it. Then i saw him do it again during a workshop, also in a large room. That time i don't think he even had a microphone, but i still recall it being pretty loud, (he was trying to wake somebody up from a very deep trance. It worked). JG might not be well known to traditional musicians, as his area of interest/expertise is in sound healing. He's well known to the new age community for Tibetan Deep Voice chanting, (which sounds a lot like what Geoff did at the end). I don't know if it's the same technique or not, but it sure sounds like it. He works a lot with subharmonics and overtone chanting, various other effects that are not often used in traditional music, but stuff that would be used in Eastern monastic settings or the New Age community, like singing bowls, tuning forks, didgeridoos, binaural beats, and other stuff that's off the beaten path. Anyway, my point was: I would NOT assume that Geoff didn't sing and sustain that note all on his own, and at that volume. I've seen it done.

[@bjspeck4337]

Geoff's bottom note is B0 (second white key at the end of a 88 key piano)( I think he hit that in Moana, but I know he hits it twice in the Halo Theme) and his top note is A5. Geoff also does amazing subharmonics. In his solos (like Blackbird, High and Dry, Ain't No Sunshine, 16 Tons, and his newest is an Elvis Presley cover of Way Down where the last note is a C1 (some say in chest, some in sub) it is interesting to hear him do that range.

[@davidsumpter4933]

[@razor75250]

No tech help!!!!! It's his voice!!! He is that skilled!! Ive heatd them live

[@stevenshewfelt888]

Geoff said in an interview when he records..his mic gain is maxed out so he can hit the subharmonic / chest notes

[@pacalvotan3380]

From what I have been able to learn about Geoff Castalucci on KZbin is that he's able to hit an E1 effortlessly. He is an amazing vocalist...HUGE range.

[@tytylittle6933]

love the vocal fry 4:23

[@atomknight8361]

Geoff has said hes not a very loud singer and doesn't sing off mic. That last note he did is a subharmonic which is a fun technique for singing lower, but for whatever reason it doesn't sound great on mic. You have to edit out the air to give it that beefy sound and not like blowing into the mic

[@tammyusher4175]

You should also check out Home Free. It is another a capella group. I'd start with Man of Constant Sorrow or End of the Road, but they do all kind of music.

[@noturbiz2827]

He did do this live , look up their video it's amazing.

[@tytylittle6933]

i am in shock at the note he hit!

[@dcoxdon]

You were talking about microphone placement for that low note. I sang for several years (Granted a tenor),. I could be TOTALLY off here, but I would think that one of those microphones that the military use that is a band with the microphone resting directly on your adam's apple would be needed. Obviously not military grade, professionally made for music, but one that literally straps around your neck and sits ON the adam's apple is my guess of how he could pull it off.

So there are bass vocalists that can project those low subharmonics very loudly, but Geoff has stated personally that he does use the mic and equalizer to help with his low notes on recordings. Look up thou yang, David Khan, and David Larson for those projected, off-mic subharmonics

[@bkm83442]

Geoff has a solid range of 5+ octaves. Maybe 6 octaves on a good day.

Don't know how many of y'all are singers but everyone can appreciate a great bass singer But sometimes you come across a particularly gifted bass singer and Geoff Castellucci is one of them. His vocal range is sick. But he is equally fantastic in his upper registers. Geoff's final note in OOGIE BOOGIE''S SONG gave me goosebumps. Now granted, Geoff is most likely amplifying that subharmonic final note but, none the less, hitting that low a note is crazy. So give props where they are due. Geoff has his solo career but also is part of the fantastic group Voice Play. They are my favorite along with Home Free. Enjoy! #GeoffCastellucci #HomeFree

That E1 at the end Geoff has done live, search for Voiceplay doing this song live

[@ilonadever8249]

Love watching you and Danny reacting and analysing. Please, please, please react to Voiceplay's Hoist the Colours. Jose Rosario Jr is the featured guest (they are short one member right now), and Cesar de la Rosa is the new member. It showcases the vocal talents of all of them much better than Oogie Boogie does. AND - Geoff did the arrangement. They do it all, they are fantasmic!!

[@valeriephelps8017]

Wanna see you both react or Geoff’s cover of Misty Mountains

[@TheFireMonkey]

they have done this live and he does manage that note live.

[@miapendragon5240]

Geoff has hit that note live, he has videos on his channel on how to do it. You should check out his new cover of Monster Mash

[@tytylittle6933]

love the bass solo 3:00

[@sirvincentknight]

lol this was the first song you heard me sing! Good review...

[@johndeeregreen4592]

I have heard Geoff do those subharmonic notes live and they are just as clear and booming. He is a master at it. Yeah, there was probably some production or post-production EQ'ing to bolster it... however, he has even done tutorials on them without all the EQ'ing and they sound just as good.

[@sarajones5436]

He has a 4 octave solid range

[@johnlackey1244]

D4 down to an E1 in about 17 beats. Awesome

[@tytylittle6933]

love the solo singers 2:47

[@billparrish4385]

Geoff goes from a very high B4 here at the end with the first "I'm the Oogey Boogey Man!" to a very low E1 on the final "Man!" Which, while an impressive range, is not even his full one. Geoff has said in interviews (such as the one he did with Elizabeth Zharoff, _The Charismatic Voice_ channel) and in videos on bass singing on his own channel, that he sometimes uses straight chest, vocal fry, growl and subharmonics to achieve those lower notes. But no electronic audio tricks to reach down that low, other than just volume, because he does admit that many of those notes being mostly air, that they wouldn't be audible very far beyond one's head without amplification. So, just sitting in a room with him or the group, prolly not gonna hear those lower notes too well. Gotta have the microphone.

First time I see this video and I wear the same Captain America shirt X'D

[@Mike_1947]

On his TikTok you can actually hear him live!

[@seaztheday4418]

The short guy Danny couldn’t place is Layne, the beatboxer

[@jairynbullinger]

In this song alone Geoff went from an E1 to a B4
