VoicePlay "Oogie Boogie's Song" | Singer Reacts & Musician Analysis

[@karenponchak5304]

Yeah. I don't know what's more impressive: -A two octave jump like it's nothing -Dropping from a B4 to an E1 in about ten seconds. 🤔

[@DTA-Music]

Only Geoff Castellucci could do the character of Oogie Boogie justice while also, miraculously, making him sexy af.

[@coffeeandtatuaje]

YES

[@kennethkirchoff4824]

Suggestions for VoicePlay --"My Mother Told Me" followed by "Valhalla Calling". Also "Hoist The Colors".

[@Mark_Agamotto1313_Smith]

Halo is a good one as well... Actually, Voiceplay doesn't have ANY bad songs.

[@christineschutten248]

When you see Geoff do crazy stuff un his range its usually because Layne, the beat boxer arranged the song. He likes to push Geoff's musical boundaries.😊

[@richardlester9241]

that E1 bomb at the end gets reactors every time.....lol

[@denisehaukkala9742]

So glad you found this group. Really good suggestions here. This acapella group just owns any Halloween, Broadway, Disney, and video game song. I saw you reacted to Metallica's nothing else matters. You should see voiceplay's version. Geoff does the bass guitar... and some. Plus surprises from the others.

[@kylestaples465]

Welcome to the voiceplay rabbit hole.everything they touch is GOLD. My favs are hoist the colours, their little mermaid and Moana medleys, Valhalla calling, and the Halo theme song,the list goes on!

[@TheNeonParadox]

Interveiwer: So, Geoff, what is your vocal range? Geoff: Yes.

[@douglasdobson8110]

Geoff Castellucci has the deepest range of the popular bass singers, his freakin range is CRAZY!!!! He has like 8 octaves of vocal range. When I was Geoff's age I had the tenor baritone range, I could nail Starship's Jane, Foreigner's Double Vision, Zeppelin's Rock and Roll and almost every song out there except some Geddy Lee was too high and so was some Rick Emmett, and Yes was hard to reach every note, but I had a sweet range. Over the years, I'm 59 now I've lost so much top end and gained so much bottom end I never would have believed it if you told me forty years ago the list of songs I would one day not be able to sing anymore. That bummed me out, for a long time. Then I discovered Home Free and VoicePlay (Can't do Pentatonix, don't know why?) Well Geoff has some great videos out there on various aspects of singing bass. I sang bass before seeing those videos, I had a fairly deep range right from the start in Church Choir in High School, but with age, and Geoff's videos and exercises I've lowered my bottom end at least a full octave. So now when I watch these videos I can usually hit all the notes, maybe not with huge power but I can dogone hit them. It took me about a year of working my voice lower to hit that end note in this video. Now I'm working on developing power in those lowest frequencies, it's fun stuff, almost makes up for the range I've lost on the top end. But nothing will ever top being able to stun karaoke night with my rendition of Double Vision LOL, I could lay that song down as tight as Lou Gramm himself, I got the album when I was 12, a pop hits album that also featured Joan Jett's I Love Rock and Roll and Styx Renegade with some others. I sang in Church choirs from childhood on and I learned that album, imprinted it, and sang it over and over and over every day for years. My dad recognized my love of music and one day when I was 13 he took me to the electronics store and let me pick out a brand new Stereo system. I was never without those handful of songs and then my 27 year old step-brother spilled kerosene on his album collection when I was 14, he thought he ruined the entire collection, gave the whole thing to me; every notable album from the late sixties all the way up to about 1979 . . . Dude; I must have inheritted about $5000.00 in 1970's dollars worth of albums just by a twist of fate at 14 years old. So I suddenly had a top notch stereo and an album collection rivalling our local radio station LOL Thank you Glenn Carver, Rest in Peace Big Guy. Funny though he didn't have a single Yes or Triumph album, nor The Police. I filled in the ones from more my age group, but I had everything the Rolling Stones and Led Zeppelin ever produced, Pink Floyd, Frank Zappa, Ted Nugent, Jethro Tull, and so many more legendary albums. I was never without music except when I was out in the woods, we'll discuss that more in the next paragraph (just kidding, but yeah I did love the woods too) Geoff's tutorial videos on singing bass have helped me conquer new territory. We have never met or conversed but I consider him a friend for his free great videos that helped me expand my range down low to depths I never thought possible, Cheers, I hope you had as much fun reading my free album collection story as I had telling it LOL

[@Broomrider1492]

Geoff (Jeff ) Castellucci does low-bass covers on his own channel. VoicePlay #TheatreKidsOf ACapela covers everything from Metalica to Disney. Love everything he and they do.

[@Prozak63]

As you know Geoff is a freak of nature but "VoicePlay" will not let you down. Enjoy the ride into this rabbit hole. The cover they do of Metallica's song "Nothing Else Matters" is phenomenal.

[@thomasfarr7934]

Geoff's natural range is huge! You need to check his "solo" stuff!

[@ilonadever8249]

This is very impressive, but it is not my favorite - it's too Geoff-centric. In most of their covers, each member of the group has a chance to shine. The bearded tenor was with them from the beginning (1997) but left for undisclosed personal reasons in 2020. The black baritone left in 2021 when he was recruited by the US Navy to sing for them. He is 2 years into a 5 year hitch. They've added one new member, Cesar d e la Rosa, but still have one unfilled position. They collaborate with a series of featured artists that they've worked with for years. J has been back 3 times for collaborations, most recently Metallica's Nothing Else Matters and Valhalla Calling from Assasin's Creed. Both are brilliant. NEM is Geoff's arrangement, VC is Layne's (beatboxer). Subscribed in anticipation of more Geoff and Voiceplay!!

[@eduardosantiago7160]

Millieeee, por fin alguien de que conozco de KZbin, por fin reacciona y mi grupo preferido de todos, ojalá reacciones a todos sus vídeos, 🎉gracias, me has alegrado el alma

[@allisoncameron-dicker2737]

I would suggest Voiceplay's Valhalla Calling, which is assassin's creed , Dream on. Aerosmith. , Nothing else matters Metallica xxive subscribed in anticipation. X

[@keithjansen2409]

At the 2 min 50 second mark you can see Geoff standing back and making the sound as if he were a bass guitar,only lasts 2 seconds.I thought a bass player like yourself mike like that.

[@shademoriq]

Voiceplay are so talented, have a look through their catalogue everything they have done is amazing

[@ronaldsinagra8825]

Geoff, Tim (Home Free), and Avi (Pentatonix/Solo) all have amazing ranges. They have sung together; just not all three at the same time.

[@danuttall]

All three together?! That would set off earthquake monitors across the planet. ;) Then we also have to consider the Bass Gang and Avi's replacement in Pentatonix, Matt; he has a pretty good range.

[@delord1619]

...and then, there's The Bass Gang... That collaboration they did with Tim was really good.

[@Mark_Agamotto1313_Smith]

@@danuttall I wouldn't mind seeing Geoff and Mitch in a colab. Get Geoff-quaked, and then Mitch-slapped, all in one song.

[@rhov-anion]

Great ones are the Viking/Pirate themed videos: Hoist the Colors, My Mother Told Me, and Valhalla Calling, as well as the Post-Apocalypse Trilogy: Warriors, Dream On, and Seven Nation Army (in that order). Geoff is particularly awesome in Daddy Sang Bass, The Little Mermaid as Ursula with a multi-octave glissando that still just makes me shake me head, he truly takes on "dragon speech" in Dragonborn Comes, and there's Halo with a low note that doesn't even register on cheap headphones, and a little bit afterward where you learn about their "young years" that is really touching. The new short "Peaches" showcases just how ridiculously high Geoff can get. Higher than me, and I'm a woman! A contralto, sure, but still! I can hit from A1 to A5 on a very good day. He wails on A#5 and it's so perfectly wild. (I must practice more!) For simple vocal beauty: True Colors, In My Room, I Can't Make You Love Me, Bridge Over Troubled Water, and Man In The Mirror. Those give me warm feelings! Both their "Queen" and "Boy Bands in 5 Minutes" videos are fun, but I have to say that "Nothing Else Matters" may be my all-time favorite, ONLY after you really get to see how talented everyone is vocally... because that's when they blow you away with EXTRA.

[@Ariyanna485]

Geoff's cover of 16 Tons is earth shattering.

[@vvoof2601]

hahaha Oogie Boogie's got another one! Welcome to the VP/Geoff rabbit hole.

[@ArmageddonisUnleashe]

I love every time I see a new reaction to this song pop up in my recommendations, because I just know I'm going to see a great reaction to THAT BASS NOTE.

[@virgiliosilva5549]

Geoff Castelucci - Voiceplay fantastic accapela group!!

[@csdangerfield]

You gotta keep checking out Voice play! They put out so much amazing content, and they keep 1-upping themselves each time!

[@maddoxcharonharper4543]

I recommend voiceplay nothing else matters

[@ted552]

So many reactors (justifiably) lose it at the low note at the end but completely miss the run he does halfway through which is arguably more impressive

[@Blackdog06019]

You really can't go wrong with any of their songs at all!! VoicePlay is 100% the theater kids of the big named acapella groups right now. But Hide and Seek, In the Hall of the Mountain King, We don't talk about Bruno and Friends on the other side are great choices to check out!

[@Badger77722]

Agree with all of these! Also for the gamers, Halo theme, The Dragonborn Comes (Skyrim), Enemy feat. AleXa.

[@ДочоДочев-к8о]

@@Badger77722 Do not forget and the "Valhalla coming"(Assasin's Creed - Valhalla)! ;)

[@kittypetro6621]

@@ДочоДочев-к8о How has no one mentioned the Wicked medley or Hoist the colours yet? Its like my two favorite pieces of them

[@raycardy4843]

100% agree! Also their cover of Metallica's Nothing Else Matters, as well as their Disney-based stuff, like their Little Mermaid and Moana medleys, as well as covers of Tennessee Whisky and You Can't Make Me Love You, and If I Was A Rich Man/Girl with Ashley Diane, We're Good and Good 4 U with Adriana Arellano..!

[@thomasmacdiarmid8251]

What, no mention of We Don't Talk About Bruno?

[@MatthewvMayo]

It definitely was him. He and Tim Foust of Home Free are constantly reminding us that they're amazing freaks of nature. Lol

[@xochil1621]

Don't forget Avi, the ex-Pentatonix member!!!

[@ggambidt7840]

2:46 is his best part, most everyone misses it

[@AstaGruwier-vi5ht]

Oh yea, the little down slide? I don’t know what to call it lol

[@thisismetoday7423]

Subscribed in hopes you will check out more Voiceplay videos! ❤

[@chrismontgomery3396]

Geoff really shows his range in this song.

[@emanymton713]

But not quite his full range. Because he can go higher than he does here ;)

[@thewrenchreviews9986]

Geoff has a 5 octave range.

[@tomzawacki822]

you really need to listen to their cover of Skyrim's the dragon born comes, just a fantastic show of talent that should not be missed!

[@MrTech226]

Millie That low bass was according to Vocal Coaches and Teachers is an E1 (subharmonics).

[@Polyphemus89]

Yeah, Geoff is just a different beast. Tim and Avi are great, but Geoff is an alien.

[@xochil1621]

All three of them are really great, but the ones who are freaks of nature/aliens are Dimash Qudaibergen and Diana Ankudinova!!!

[@jamesbreault5762]

Great video 👍👍👍

[@delord1619]

If you'd like to compare Voice Play 'then' to the present Voice Play, compare this to Friends On The Other Side. You can see a big difference in the depth of Geoff's voice, and the improvement in production values. They've grown so much since the early days.

[@sarahdzeima5102]

The Geoffquake got another one!

[@3evo333]

I love her accent! Anyone have an idea where it's from?

[@josephc.pscolkajr.5888]

Your reactions to Voiceplay and Geoff Castellucci were outstanding. I think it's time you got back to doing a few reactions to both. They have some amazingly epic content to choose from. I'd love to see your reactions.

[@Metzwerg74]

that last not hits all reactors, that have knowledge of singing in the same way.... it knocks their socks of.....

[@lipgloss202]

A quality cover from The Nightmare before Christmas. An excellent movie. I watch it every year. >:D

[@katrinagreely5399]

This song isn’t actually a Christmas song. It’s from the Tim Burton animated movie, The Nightmare Before Christmas, where Halloween tries to steal Christmas (because Jack Skellington is experiencing ennui). The Oogie Boogie man is a bad guy, even to the others in Halloween-land. Watch this song in the movie and then watch Voiceplay’s version again, and you’ll appreciate this one even more. ☺️

[@rogergr1993]

suggestion to listen from voiceplay: "Hoist the colors" "Enemy" "Hide and seek"

[@Traci2000]

VoicePlay is so much fun!! They all have killer ranges and individual talents that keep driving them higher and higher. Always amazing to watch!

[@tylerhelm7902]

Voiceplay also released a cover of Seven Nation Army that in my opinion slaps harder than the White Stripes original.

[@bobharp3492]

Geoff castelluchi has 5 octave range you have to do ,my mother told me, then Valhalla calling, both viking related great job

[@keithjansen1734]

In the background at the 2:46 mark when you hear a bass guitar that is actually Jeff.

[@joemichener2337]

Tim Foust and Peter Hollens Misty Mountains

[@edwardstuart9440]

Geoff has about 5 octave range with his voice.

check out geoff's "i see fire" cover if you get a chance :)

[@eolsunder]

and that video was a while ago, he can go lower now.

[@JillPeterson-dr6ox]

Welcome to the Voiceplay Rabbit Hole. They have a vast variety of genres you can choose from. Scroll thru the list find one you like, some of my favorites are Trapped, Billie Eilish in 3 Minutes (followed by) Panic at the Disc in 4 Minutes then Queen in 5 Minutes (its best if you do these in thus order for the Story). To give you a heads-up the Lineup has changed in the past couple of years two members have left while one has joined, so don't worry when you see different faces. They have a lot of featured singers singing with them, they usually are in the middle. Enjoy the trip down the Rabbit Hole 🎉 🐇 😄

[@larskunoandersen5750]
