She definitely haven't heard low B nor a low E

[@antoniusbagas7694]

E1

[@gidster192]

Ya I don’t think so either, kinda disappointed

[@interestedbystander196]

No chance she heard of and didn't react. Suggestion: be silent during the performance, and then give your impression once it's over. You missed a gem.

[@daniagadborg2026]

@@interestedbystander196 YES!!! Omg I was like - Sip it, listen and freakin enjoy it. That last low note Geoff hit, made the marrow in my bones tremble!! She really did miss a spectacular gem there.

[@daventunes3822]

I haven't seen any reactors to this song who have commented on the thing that I think is the neatest little vocal thing that Geoff does. He does this weird little vocal thing just as Lane (the beatboxer) finishes the phrase "add a little spice."

[@DudettRin101]

I never even noticed that until you said something...and I've watched this vid at least a dozen times

Its really hard to do. With knowing the information, I can go down to a G1

[@filipjohansson2812]

guypithecus the 1st it's sub harmonics. Everyone knows that

[@Goggalor1990]

It's a somewhat easy technique to get started with imo (Sub Harmonics), but a difficult one to master. Geoff is just really good at it and has also learned to blend it into his other registers so it sounds seemless, like he's using chest for everything. I've gone down to E1 using this, but it's shaky and hard to get volume and consistency.

[@gunnil.6075]

@@Goggalor1990 Since I know that technique I can do a pretty strong E1 in this... 😎

[@keithshepard3]

It was B0 to A5

[@HaydnG266]

Voiceplay as a whole are extremely talented and criminally underrated. They should be getting the same recognition as PTX. Their biggest plus side is letting their bass actually have solos. There's no secret that most people do focus on Geoff, I'm sure the group know and respect that, he's a super talented guy, good luck to them all.

[@mikebunner3498]

Geoff's range is unreal. He is the best bass I have heard in decades. Period end of the story. Amazing. EPIC! I am left speechless by this man's skill set. And that's a big deal. I am a talker, never at a lost for words. So that is saying something.

[@ThePi314Man]

"basses with that higher range are really impressive" I feel so validated :)

[@aganderson7205]

[@chippendale1745]

Not sure if you ever noticed but Eli (the bald guy) does the base notes during Moana Medley and also a lot of other songs when Geoff is singing his parts...everybody keeps thinking they are using a second track of Geoff singing and doing the base lines together but he isn't. Eli and all of the singers perform multiple roles when needed.

[@zaqsdk]

Fun fact: If you watch Geoff's video on how to sing low, you learn that he doesn't see himself as a bass. According to him he's a baryton by nature, as that range is more comfortable for him! Voice play were in the Sing off the same season as Home Free. If you dig up their performances from that, you'll see a very young Geoff being totally overshadowed by the rest of the band (in fact, Home free comments at one point that "Tim is the only one singing that low in this competition"). If you dare take a peek down a very deep acapella rabbit hole, go watch that entire season. Pentatonix might still be more famous, but Home Free had to beat some amazing raw talent to get their fame! Obviously they won, but they very much did so on experience, which is saying a LOT given the talent they have among them!

[@AC-ks4cd]

That's such an impressive ending!!! From belting a B4 all the way down to an E1!

[@droid8472]

I saw another reactor say they haven't heard a lower note than the ending of this one. Tim foust from home free has in video hit A0 and live hit G#0

[@AC-ks4cd]

@@droid8472 true, but I think there's a difference between hitting a note and actually singing it, anyone can make a G0 with fry, whereas making it actually sound like a full note is obviously much harder. Geoff does a great job with this E1 as its obviously very full and resonant. Tim's A0 growl might not be considered "singing" to others too, but it's certainly impressive

[@droid8472]

Yay! You finally did it! Thanks!..watching now...

[@TheMaxusmag]

He has a wide range like Tim Foust from Home Free. Tim and Geoff both have a 5 octave range. The ability is to use growl and sub-harmonics to hit those really low notes. If Tim, Avi and Geoff all hit the same low note at the same time it would destroy the earth.

[@johnchestnut5340]

No. Sorry, but elephants and whales go lower without anyone noticing. The Earth is still here.

[@kevinsmith9128]

Always a pleasure love. thanks for your insights. And the positive joy that you bring to your reactions.

[@efes_art2136]

I just love Geoff's voice.. How is he getting those high notes as a bass? The E1 is so clean man.. I made a cover of the Halo Theme (Oktavist Version), where I sing an E1 in subharmonic too, but subharmonics are really new for me.

[@scraggyboi]

welcome to the 1st octave area

[@ChaS4m]

I still can’t figure out how to do subharmonics at all

[@efes_art2136]

@@ChaS4m For me it works best, when I sing an “ohhhhh“ on a D2 or C2 and then I just relax and become quiter on the D2 or C2. Don't forget to open your mouth like an “O“ while singing the “ohhhhh“. After this, the D1 or C1 pops out and I am trying to hold it. You have to find which note works the best for you. For me it works the best on a low C and low D.

[@zacharyhoulahan5626]

Defiant Music the way I’ve found to do it is basically relax ur voice a lot then it should drop the octave

[@ChaS4m]

Zachary Houlahan actually I just figured it out yesterday and it freaked me the fuck out cause I hit an E1 and I was not prepared for it at all!

[@drewconleymusic]

Geoff genuinely doesn't use vocal fry. When you listen to his voice just speaking normally thats just how he sounds

[@obe22099]

I don't sing but out of curiosity i decided to try subharmonics and inhale notes thanks to the awesome bass guys sharing the secret sauce. I will never be a true bass but the techniques worked a bit too well. Same for whistles i have no issue getting to the 6th and 7th octave but it's completely out of control, kinda like a blind bus driver on a suspension bridge.

[@thesoulwolf5917]

i really want beth to reply to this DID YOU NOT HEAR THAT LAST NOTE GEOFF DID

[@goldwolfgaming7821]

when you mentioned that he has a really high voice for a bass it shot me back to his singing deeper videos, as he explains it he's a baritone with a bass range so he usually sings bass usually. also subharmonics OP

[@spiderfingers86]

Love your professional analysis

[@sarahcoleman5269]

You know I've never heard how the bass range works like that. I guess that's why people are so impressed with these sub-basses. You can always train your voice to go higher, but to go _that_ low you kind of have to be born with that ability to do it.

[@wolfgaidin]

Did you somehow miss Geoff's sub-harmonic E1 at the end??? No reaction to it! :-O

"He's wicked." i second this statement.

[@careless9528]

[@mikeraphone7868]

She doesn't realize that Geoff is actually more of a baritone who can do bass, as he said in one of his videos. That's why he can hit the higher bass and baritone notes so well, he really just has an impressive bass ability for his baritone voice. He could be considered a bass-baritone I guess.

[@cwalker3783]

You may also enjoy: "Das Einsame Glockchen" by I van Rebroff. His range goes from an F1 to an A5.

[@elementalgolem5498]

Yes it is prerecorded, but he has said that the ones that take the most effort and takes, are the low notes (specifically the sub harmonics)

[@tuttiflooti]

Geoff Castellucci's vocal range is generally placed at C#1 all the way to A5

[@gareldmarks224]

I adore ya Beth but dropped the ball on this one.

[@patheddles4004]

Relaxing into the low notes will only take you down so far - for the really low notes, like Geoff's E1 at the end here, you need extended techniques like subharmonics (which is what he's using here).

[@Rosannasfriend]

True, but I don’t think that’s part of your connected range.

[@WSlopeAggie]

@@Rosannasfriend Strohbass, an extended technique, is. Strohbass is basically belting but for your low chest range instead of high chest range.

[@davidhamilton9492]

Geoff ( the bass) has a five octave range. Same as Tim foust (the bass) in home Free. And Avi (the bass) in Pentatonix

[@DravenGal]

I'm honestly not sure what I like better, the original videos, or the reactions to them...ones that actually DO react instead of just staring at it, that is...but I expected more of a reaction to the last note, tbh. Still, lovely reaction.

[@Tryst46]

They are not double tracking, one or two of the others can do the bass notes as well, although they mostly stick to tenor. In this case, I believe it was J. None doing the bass while Geoff sang. Layne (the beat boxer) can do some really good bass notes and can also end them with a drum sound too. He does it with the "boom shtk" that you hear in the background while Geoff is singing "you're joking". you also missed Geoff doing a 6 note riff as Layne steps back after speaking the line "to add a little spice", that riff sounded so much like it was synthesised but you can see Geoff doing it in the background. Lip reading, it seems like he is saying "doobedy doobedy".

[@tylerbuckley2092]

That last note was E1 in the sub harmonics

[@kylestaples465]

An e1 is insane!

[@shadowproductions969]

Don't see why a c# would be an issue since he can cover multiple octaves. From the lowest I've heard him do at B0 up to over a c4, though not as sure just how high he can hit without going completely falsetta. So many good things to hear in this song if you pay attention, from the synchopated rhythms including being on the backbeat or during the 2nd Santa part, that vocal appregio. Then of course the E1 sub at the end.. so much to cover. I'm impressed they do this song so well live too

[@taurusthefool]

Please listen to Darroh Sudderth from the band Fair to Midland. He has to have the craziest range of a singer I ever heard. He is incredible

[@JarodWilliam]

[@Adrian-yy5dw]

3:22 excuse me ma’am WHAT was that face of disappointment? This mans definition in his subharmonics makes him king😤

He's actually a Baritone, not a bass (he said this himself in one of his videos) but he has some pretty deep bass notes as well, also he says his voice is 4 octaves including head voice.

[@andymanson3836]

That last note was an E1. But his vocal range goes even higher than shown in that song.

[@dannydoc1969]

Geoff is not doing the bass backtrack. When he is singing it is Eli who does it, he has an amazing low bass himself.

[@jeremypee4128]

In case everyone is wondering, Geoff doesnt sing the higher notes in chest, especially onwards of the Eb4. It seems like a very welll placed mix, but sounds like chest, because of the timbre of his voice.

[@ericrussell2378]

My laptop couldn't handle Geoff's last note... Thank goodness for good headphones!

[@darkwolve]

I finally... FINALLY figured out how to hit that note at the end. AS RECORDED! It took sooo long to figure out how he was doing that if it wasn't dubbed in mixing. So,for those who are wondering how..... Okay... So he made a video about how and Tim Faust showing him the growl technique. It's either on Geoff's or Voice Play's YT channel. Can't remember which. So then I figured out why my note was there but the deepness was weak or missing, even with a microphone. Gotta fiddle and practice quite a bit to get it so why not walk around growling all day!? Ya won't look crazy at all!... but yea, it's like a combo of vocal fry further forward (up) in the throat, chin down, lips barely apart... along with exhaling the corresponding chest note (causing the subharmonic. Slow the exhale enough to get a "crackle" and it becomes a growl of sorts. So we now have a subharmonic growl... technically vocal fry, chest note, and growl in one tone. I'm not a vocal coach. I don't perform. I can't even read music. I'm just musically inclined and naturally good at figuring stuff out. ADD helps so much sometimes! 😁
