Geoff's "Black Bird" on his private channel shows pretty much his entire range from highest to lowest. i mean, technically he can do a B0 growl note, but that's not in the song, lol. i'm sure he is technically able to go even a little higher than he shows in this song as well, but being able to reach a note and being able to reach it in a way that is still pleasant to listen to, are 2 different things :)

[@JeffreyHackReacts]

Exactly. I'll be sure to check out more Geoff's personal stuff 😄

[@DougRayPhillips]

Geoff's drop at the end of this song was B4 to E1. Three and 7/12 octaves within a few seconds. He also gets down to E1 in Blackbird. I don't know what song would have his highest note in it. Altogether, Voiceplay did four songs from Nightmate Before Christmas. For costumes, makeup and characterizations, there's those, Little Mermaid Medley, You're a Mean One Mr Grinch, and a few others. Due to Earl leaving, and to COVID restrictions, Geoff started doing solo stuff on his own YT channel last year. All but one of the songs he's put up so far involve him multitracking his own voice. So that's a good place to look to find his widest range.

[@marshayoung9387]

There is a live stage show they did where they were playing musical chairs & at the end he hit a super super high note. It's called Toxic Audio Performing "Grace Kelly" at LHP

[@ana900127]

Geoff is a musical machine! Haha. If you want to see another amazing performance check out the "Queen in 5 minutes" video, is amazing!!, they tell a whole story there. As per Geoff's high notes you can see his cover of "High and Dry" which is part of his solo work and with Voiceplay, at the end of their newest video, "If I were a rich man/girl" he is superb!

[@JeffreyHackReacts]

Fun stuff! Thanks for sharing this 😁

[@tracysimmons6963]

Santa is being played by Geoff`s brother in law love your reactions please keep it up, Geoff has a 5 octive range also his final note was an E1. Please can you do a reaction to voiceplay`s new one which is from fiddler on the roof-- if i was a rich man/girl

[@JeffreyHackReacts]

No way? That's awesome 😂 I might just have to have my brother do something similar for me down the road. I'd be happy to react to that video! I played the Rabbi in that musical in high school!

[@tracysimmons6963]

@@JeffreyHackReacts i think his range is between (C#0) B0 -- A5 look up Marcello Bass, he has a video showing his range

[@TheRealSchmom]

There is no real video that showcases every note of geoff's range xD but if you wanna see an amazing 4 octave slide by Geoff then you should watch their "Little Mermaid Medley" :)

[@JeffreyHackReacts]

I'll definitely have to check that video out! Thanks!

[@marshayoung9387]

Oh please do a reaction video of Voice Plays version of Tennessee Whiskey. The runs they do are awesome, especially the one at the end with all of them together in perfect harmony.

[@chelliespider]

If you check Geoff's individual channel, he has a performance of High and Dry that really shows his range. No theatrics, but really well done.

[@christinadowdican3268]

Check out Geoffs cover of Over Misty Mountains Cold on his channel. It's amazing & showcases his vocal range also 16 tons & the headless horseman you won't be disappointed 😊❤️

[@JeffreyHackReacts]

That sounds exciting! I'll be sure to watch and react to it! Thanks! 😀

[@trishaurvan9439]

Talking about musical theater you should definitely check out their latest "If I Were A Rich Man/Girl" its from Fiddler. And it is epic! And for his range either The Little Mermaid medley or Blackbird or Queen in 5 Minutes. Geoff is a beast!

[@JeffreyHackReacts]

I've been told to watch their latest of release of "If I Were A Rich Man/Girl" and am looking forward to watching and reacting to it!

[@veronicathunander4579]

If I were a rich man/girl isn’t musical theatre on their part though (I mean, they don’t put in that kind of performance there), but it’s so great!!

[@littleminxx9171]

Voiceplay are masters!! If you want more of their awesome mix of theater and sound check out, Little Mermaid Medley, Queen in 5 minutes, Billie Eilish in 5 minutes!! So good!!

[@JeffreyHackReacts]

I've been told about these videos from previous comments and will definitely be checking them out!

[@vins1662]

One I love is Voiceplays we’re good that seems to be overlooked by a lot of reactors

[@JeffreyHackReacts]

Now I'm really tempted to react to it 😂

[@sophsutherland3993]

High and Dry on Geoff’s solo channel is probably some of his highest work

[@brucelanning4420]

Your last expression on your face when Geoff hit that last note...you've been Geoffed. Virtually every person who does a reaction to this video, has the same shocked look on their face when he hits that subterranean note.

[@JeffreyHackReacts]

Haha, I mean, I don't know any other singer that can hit a note that low particularly. Maybe Tim Fouste but their will be more Home Free reactions to come!

[@alverond]

Have you done their little mermaid medley? Geoff plays Ursula. He hits a nice high note. His “poor unfortunate souls” is awesome. Check out home free if you haven’t. Another awesome acapella.

[@nightthornkvala94132]

Sandy Claws (the name is from the Nightmare Before Christmas movie) is play by Pasquale Palazzolo, Geoff's brother-in-law. His daughter, Kristina, starts off the VoicePlay video Just Sing. If you haven't seen it you're really missing out on a very special online gathering. Make sure your CC is on. VoicePlay aren't called the a cappella theater kids for nothing.

[@olabergvall3154]

I've said it before; PTX for the feels, Home Free for the goofs, and Voiceplay for the great theatrics. Great video mate 👍

[@JeffreyHackReacts]

Thank you! Yeah, I'm starting to catch on to their differences.

[@jacquestrahan8405]

What's crazy to me is all 3 were in The Sing-off. I think Voiceplay and Home Free were even in same season.

[@marshayoung9387]

Actually Voice Play has all three all rolled into one package.

[@marshayoung9387]

@@JeffreyHackReacts Voice Play has all three rolled into one package !!!

[@kellishostall2583]

I've watched this a million times (well, maybe only a thousand) and I love it. Geoff's high range is so impressive! I can't believe, being an Acapella fan that you haven't watched Home Free yet! You are missing out! You should do "Man of Constant Sorrow" by Home Free. Geoff and Avi and Tim (HF bass, basso profundo) are all friends and support each other's careers. It's awesome

[@JeffreyHackReacts]

I've definitely heard Home Free music! It's remarkable, I just haven't uploaded enough reactions of their work yet 😉 Those videos will be coming soon!

[@Moralatheist101]

When ever I want to go to work happy, I listen to this:)

[@Juilene1965]

For Geoff's range, High and Dry or Blackbird are great examples. Both on his youtube channel. He's pretty damn amazing and has an insane range.

[@janhankins911]

There are two suggestions on who played Santa Clause and I don't know which is correct (if either). One is that this is Geoff's neighbor. The other is that this is Geoff's brother-in-law. Don't know who he is, really, but those are the two I've heard of who he is.

[@ashcgincog5016]

If you wanna hear his highs then listen to Geoffs cover of high and dry. It’s amazing

[@steelethistleartistry8202]

you need to check out "If I were a rich man/girl" he goes pretty high, then ridiculously low immediately after. I'm no vocal coach, but that's the highest I've heard him go other than singing his own high harmonies in his solo covers- things like blackbird.

[@JeffreyHackReacts]

I'll have to check it out!

[@ronsbrat525]

Geoff Castellucci. He has his own channel. Ain't no sunshine and blackbird both showcase his ranges very well. Although of course all of his videos are awesome.

[@JeffreyHackReacts]

I have some Geoff Castellucci reactions on this channel, which I invite you to check out 😄

[@timstackii]

Check out their rendition of This is Halloween as well ... similar production.

[@JeffreyHackReacts]

I definitely will! That would be a good one to watch during the month of October!

[@miapendragon5240]

VoicePlay has a lot of videos with the "theatrics", great examples are Queen in 5 minutes, This is Halloween or Phantom of the Opera. Also they have a lot where they wear costumes like the Little Mermaid medley (also great to showcase Geoff's range), Kidnap the Sandy Clause, Boy Bands in 5 minutes, Warriors and My Mother told me. To showcase Geoff's range just check out his channel, he goes pretty high in Blackbird and High and Dry. Also pls react to If I were a rich man/girl, Butter, We're good, the Billie Eilish medley and the Moana Medley.

[@JeffreyHackReacts]

All of these requests will be coming to the channel soon 😄

[@richardwilliams7400]

You should definitely check out the it version of Carry On My Wayward Son.

[@JeffreyHackReacts]

The "it" version?

[@par500dragon7]

Oh, yeah... if you ask what range Geoff is? Answer: Yes. Check out High and Dry and Blackbird. Both showcase the scope of his range.

[@eriklind8489]

Yep....He just went from up in the rafters to down to a couple of subasements. LOL..

[@DandrebBernardes]

Little correction there, Geoff plays the Boogie Man, not Jack Skeleton :)

[@JeffreyHackReacts]

HaHA! Nice catch!

[@benstormcrow4724]

The highest I can think of is Toxic Audio’s “Grace Kelly” (this was years ago, but at the end of the bit he is the lead and it is hysterical and astounding.

[@marshayoung9387]

Exactly, I just got done watching it. I think it was even higher than the ending note he hit In the musical song Elvira done live on stage.

[@csb78nm]

Voiceplay's latest release, If I Were A Rich Man/Girl from Fiddler on the Roof shows off Geoff's high notes (and of course his low ones).

[@johnphillips4909]

Geoff’s range is confirmed by himself at G#1-A5 on any given day with chest and falsetto “without straining himself.” He can go down a step on some days, though, and he uses subharmonics, a technique to lower your voice an octave on a note, to hit as low as D1. Technically, Geoff can go down to B0 but it’s not very strong or long below Eb1 or D1 because of the technique he uses (growling.) Not as high as Mitch but I think he’s actually pretty close ignoring Mitch’s whistle notes.

[@JeffreyHackReacts]

Very intriguing and interesting to learn about Geoff's vocal technique!

[@00Jess_M]

His own videos were already mentioned in other comments (love High and Dry). If you wanna hear Geoff sing the highest note I've ever heard from him you should check out "Toxic Audio performing "Grace Kelly" at LHP". It's an older video, fan cam and live, but really fun. And he goes fully Mika at the end. Live! I can't hit that note.😁

[@JeffreyHackReacts]

I'll look into it 😁

[@nightthornkvala94132]

That Journey song is called Lights. One of my favorite childhood radio stations converted it to their jingle/theme song so I always thought of it as DDR's KFRC theme song. (DDR was Dr. Don Rose, DJ in the 70s-80s for AM610 in San Francisco.)

[@jackyfriedman1963]

He has several both recommend High and Dry. He goes super high and super low.

[@jackyfriedman1963]

Very beautiful song.

[@JeffreyHackReacts]

It's quite incredible!

[@jonadabtheunsightly]

As far as we know, Geoff's range doesn't go as high as Mitch Grassi. Apart from some old live stuff where he goes off the rails, and that instructional video where he hits A0, A1, A2, A3, A4, A5 purely for demonstration purposes, I think the actual music video with the highest Geoff note might be Queen in 5 Minutes, at E-flat 5 ("bad mistakes, I've made a few"). The instructional video wherein he goes to A5 implies he hasn't really explored his upper limit that much, which suggests that if he stretched himself he could probably get up into the middle or top of octave 5, maybe even into the bottom of ocatve 6; but this falls short of that ridiculous "human tape recorder" nonsense Mitch does wherein he imitates squeaky marker sounds (among other things) well up into octave seven. There's no indication of Geoff being able to do anything like that. (Whereas, there's a recording of Mitch hitting a note in high octave 0, believe it or not. He's not comfortable enough down there to do it reliably or count on it for live performances, but frankly, as a countertenor, that's not his job anyway. If the basso profondo is busy doing something else for some reason, baritone Scott Hoying can hold up the low end well enough to make do, and he does, e.g., when Matt takes lead for a verse in Sound of Silence.)

[@bkm83442]

"Blackbird", "Bare Necessities", and "Saddle Up" all showcase Geoff's amazing range.

[@JeffreyHackReacts]

[@obe22099]

The range compilations people compile ended at A5 in falsetto. I don't really care about range for the sake of range. If i get goosebumps that probably means i like it and would want that Dopamine hit again. 1st octave notes do that for me for male vocalists. 5th octave chest belts or chest dominant mixed voice for female vocalists. There are female vocalists that can hit the 1st octave but it's mostly air. Male vocalists hitting soprano notes are impressive from a technical perspective but it doesn't do it for me, they kinda sound like goats with one nasal passage clogged but lovely vibrato.

[@samuelmncedisi1065]

You should check out their Kidnap The Sandy Claws video - came out after Oogie Boogie (and This Is Halloween, What's This), it's part of their Nightmare Before Christmas playlist. If Mitch is something else, then what would Dimash Kudaibergen be?!

[@ericturner7824]

Santa is Geoff's Brother in law.

[@lorrieriddle2211]

For a better inkling of Geoff's range, try If I Were a Rich Man/Girl ft Ashley Diane. Their tonality & harmonies are awesome! Another group to try is Home Free. Try several of their videos before their cover of Mayday so you'll have down who does what part. They do an AWESOME job on Helplessly Hoping. They do a lot of fun songs, but don't do as much theatrics as VP does with makeup & such. VP has the market on that (which is terrific in it's own right). Great reaction!
