VOICEPLAY YOU'RE A MEAN ONE MR. GRINCH | REACTION VIDEOS

[@DougRayPhillips]

Geoff Castellucci. He has a personal YT channel, in addition to the Voiceplay channel. He hit an E1 at the end of "Oogie Boogie's Song." Here, he hits an Eb1. Small difference, but once you get down below 40 Hz it's at the edge of my hearing range. With the shutdowns, and with Earl Elkins leaving the group, Geoff has been doing more solo/multitrack work. On his personal channel, he's recently put up "Bare Necessities" (from The Jungle Book), "Headless Horseman," Paul McCartney's "Blackbird" (he hits an E1 there too), and the Christmas song "Mele Kalikamaka."

[@BsauceyMichael]

He hits a Eb1 on the word "pole" (i think) but the last drop is a B4-E1 like Oogie Boogies song

[@ronaldsinagra8825]

Geoff and Tim sing together in Voice Play's 'Just Sing'. Turn on the CC to see all the fun info with all the performers

[@heinz57channel39]

I’ve heard them both live. Geoff is a freak but Tim blows out speakers.

[@RealityShiift]

@@heinz57channel39 avi used to blow out speakers too, and he can’t go as low as either of them

[@heinz57channel39]

@@RealityShiift avi is louder with this low notes if that makes sense.

[@toodlescae]

Different tones and timbers. Also differences between chest, head, growl and subharmonic ranges.

[@RealityShiift]

@@heinz57channel39 we can agree to disagree, i personally believe Geoff has the smoothest tone and although he might not blow out speakers, his high/low range is unmatchable as well. he has the widest vocal range out of any of the well known bass singers (avi, tim, him, and matt)

[@ashleysheree7057]

Someone actually commented on a VoicePlay video a while back saying that Geoff, Avi, and Tim all need to do something together and VoicePlay actually replied saying "Pretty sure that would instantly create a supermassive black hole and we'd all get sucked into an alternate reality populated only with tiny tiny unicorns" 😂😂

[@chrismorin1318]

I've actually commented that on several reactions. Both in Home Free and Voice Plays videos as well as on Geoff Castellucci's channel I believe. With the different tones and textures to their voices, I said that it would probably go viral beyond anyone's imagination! I dream of that collaboration! ❤

[@ashleysheree7057]

@Alexandria Hauser Yep definitely 😂

[@nightthornkvala94132]

I'd believe it!

[@mdswish]

Would totally be worth it!

[@phcusnret]

Yep. It would definitely tear a hole in the fabric of the universe. Pretty sure it would be worth it, though, to hear them together.

[@lilithesg2270]

Oh PLEASE check out Geoffs solo covers, absolute subwoofers there. "Blackbird", "Bare necessities" and "Headless horseman" - like absolute amazing pieces

[@steveeverett1736]

And sometimes with Matt, Scott etc thrown in too.

[@mickoldbear3008]

Fan girling.... Check. Mouth covering.... Check. Wide eyes... Check. Biting lower lip.... Check. Definitely an eargasm.... 👍😂 Great reaction, as always....

[@sc0repio662]

The original version of this song in the Dr. Seuss animated movie featured the bass voice of Thurl Ravenscroft, so it's more than appropriate that Geoff Castellucci gets an opportunity to shine doing it.

[@Secrets17x]

Voiceplay is absolutely full of energy, I love it. So many moving parts and ad libbed sounds, along with an incredible set of vocals.

[@daynanoneya3068]

If this is only your second Voiceplay reaction, you're definitely missing out!! Geoff is amazing and so are the rest of the guys. You can't go wrong with any of their songs, but I definitely recommend their Little Mermaid Medley, Boy Bands in 5 Minutes, Bridge Over Troubled Water, Warriors, and Queen in 5 Minutes. Also for Geoffs's solo channel, Blackbird and Mele Kalekemaka are my two favorites, but they're all awesome!

[@andrewbrace7812]

Heyyy Schnell 😇❤️ This is a great version of this song. What a production they did with it, amazing!!! Thank you for the awesome reaction. 😇❤️🎄🎁🎉🙏

[@Mark_MOORE_VFL]

👍👍👍👍

[@shanialover]

Dear Schnell, that is the man in the green scarf. His name is Geoff Castellucci. There is actually a video titled Bass Battle D2-A0 It includes Geoff & Tim and Adam Chance from Home Free & Avi and Matt from Pentatonix. Your reindeer headband is the first one like that I have seen and when I saw it I GIGGLED like when I was a schoolgirl. It reminded me of a Christmas movie from the past where Santa had a good Sweet daughter (Played by Kathy Ireland) who moved away to be with a wonderful man and his lovely son & daughter and Santa also had a mean evil daughter who sold everything from the North Pole including the reindeer which reduced the Christmas magic. The good daughter found out what was happening and saved the day including convincing people to return things to the North Pole. The problem was the reindeer wouldn't be back until after Christmas so the evil daughter knew she had to fill in for the reindeer by pulling the sleigh. She said I will go put on my gear. 🎶👱‍♀️👗👠👠💓🎄🎅😊😃

[@mistermoneyinthebanktylers3111]

You mention Geoff, Tim, and Avi working together. Funnily enough this actually happened because Geoff Castelucci actually arranged the Home Free video of Ring of Fire featuring Avi Kaplan. That was Home Free's first major record and actually Avi has a producer credit on it. In the process of the three working together, both Avi and Geoff have credited Tim with making them better Bassists. If you have watched the Sing Off, you can see how Geoff especially has improved so much. He gives so much of that credit to Tim. Even though all three have different strengths and styles in their bass, what they all do very well is use their high register. One of the things Tim always says is the best way to learn to sing lower is to practice singing higher. It's a vocal range, therefore it's not going to expand at one end and not expand at least a little at the other.

[@LordCrag1998]

I had to laugh when you said that Tim and Geoff should do a sing off because they were actually on NBC's The Sing-Off together in season 4 lol. Home Free and Voiceplay actually did a collaboration together a long time ago, it's a cover of "Survivor" called "Zombies vs Farmers" and a real fun watch. Voiceplay also did a video called "Sing" a few months ago with a bunch of guest singers that's a fundraiser for an artists' fund during the pandemic, and Tim and Geoff have a bit of a face-off in that as well. Definitely worth a watch, and if you turn on the captions for it there's some fun info on everyone in it as well as some funny comments!

[@tatewakinew]

Just to correct the naming - Zombies vs Hillbillies and Just Sing

[@kylefrandsen2665]

FYI, Geoff Castellucci did the arrangement for Home Free's collaboration with The Oak Ridge Boys. Home Free and Voiceplay competed in the same singing competition won by Pentatonix the year (or two) before. He, Tim Faust and Avi Kaplan know each other and trade tips. You can see Tim and Avi together in Home Free's cover of Ring of Fire official video.

[@MichaelScheele]

Geoff Castellucci is the bass of VoicePlay. He also does the arrangements for them. He's a fan of Thurl Ravenscroft, the voice of Tony the Tiger (Kellogg's Frosted Flakes) and a number of songs for older animated shows like "How the Grinch Stole Christmas" and "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow" (Geoff Castellucci covered "Headless Horseman").

[@darrellbleichner9664]

I was told that Tim helped Geoff develop his bass range better years ago. Tim does teach classes to help people develop their bass range.

[@MrBeaker1158]

Love your hat/antlers. Great reaction too. Watching this one by Voice Play for the first time as well. Geoff is a beast with his crazy range. Merry Christmas Schnell and everyone!

[@curtisroberts4728]

Lovin' the antlers by the way, very cute😺

[@johnforsyth7987]

I love your reaction to this video. The only woman I know that comes close to this Diana Ankudinova. (She has several new releases by the way.) But the bass of Voice Play. Geoff C. has recently released a bass solo cover of Tennessee Ernie Ford's classic song Sixteen Tons. Mr. Ford sang it back in 1955. Geoff does it justice in his cover. As much as you like bass voices. You should check it out! Stay safe.

[@tomasjallen]

Fun fact: Home Free and Voiceplay were both in Sing off the year after Pentatonix won. Voiceplay ended up in the middle, but Home Free won that season. They did do a video together after the show, Zombies vs hillbillies.

[@tomasjallen]

[@andyschnell58]

The Whos in Whoville certainly sound much different than I remember. The Grinch looks the same but the Whos have grown and sing a whole lot better. Schnell thanks for providing excellent entertainment this Christmas week as so many of us are hibernating at home, avoiding the virus so we will be around to celebrate Christmas 2021.

[@DennisKovacich]

They’re the only thing I don’t really like about this video. They were always nice to everyone, including the grinch, even after he stole everything. They would never say those mean things to/about him.

[@MrDstyle09]

Hey Schnell Thanks for doing this video I love your reaction to this song! Your EXPRESSION on hearing Geoff's voice "PRICELESS " Great job once again Schnell I'm so honored and proud of your journey let's keep this FANTASTIC MUSIC RIDE GOING! Sending you much love from here in the States! 😃😃🎄🎄🎁

[@donnilloyd1355]

Geoff is amazing, along with the rest of Voice Play. But Geoff, I'll say it to you like I have a few other Reactors. I'm a Straight Male, but I'd listen to him sing the Phone Book. LMAO! And from your reaction, you would also. LOL. Great Post.

[@wilkvanburen]

You can hear both of them (Geoff and Tim) in Voiceplay's video "Just Sing." Pretty dang cool!

[@andrewbrace7812]

Look up bass battle, Tim vs Avi vs Geoff, it's on KZbin

[@CrimFerret]

Geoff uses a different technique for most of his bass notes. He actually explains the different ways of hitting notes like that in one of his videos. Adriana Arellano is the girl singing. She's only 16. I hope she gets to sing with them in the future because she is really good.

[@andrewbrace7812]

HAPPY NEW YEAR SCHNELL...great reaction and terrific version. Another reactor did a comparison of 4 Acapella groups (including VoicePlay), and his review liked them all, but that Pentatonix was far above them all. i've only heard two, but PTX's version was incredible...you should react to their version. It is different than VoicePlays, but just remarkable, and will blow your mind !! Also, hoping to join your site this evening.

[@nightberg1971]

Hi Schnell. Geoff, as far as I can tell, is the master of sub-harmonics, which is why his low notes sound a little more unique than most of the other seriously deep bass vocalists. To understand sub-harmonics a bit better, Geoff has a KZbin video on that subject. Love the multi ears! Merry Christmas Schnell :-)

[@chrisharrell725]

You should listen to Voiceplay's "Ooggie Boogie" and Geoff's "Headless Horseman" bass cover on his channel and his cover of the Beatles "Blackbird"

Here is the URL to the latest KZbin Battle of the Acapella Basses, featuring: Tim Foust, Geoff Castellucci, Avi Kaplan, Adam Chance and Matt Sallee [Low Notes Only - D2 to A0] kzbin.info/www/bejne/rZOuZ5tnfNF0js0

[@obe22099]

Geoff explained how he gets those notes, he didn't really need to since his speaking voice was deep enough for me to believe he's actually making those sounds. It was interesting since professional vocalist reactors admitted they doubted low notes like that are real not just from him but others like Avi and Tim. It's subharmonic undertones that are below the main tone usually one octave below from what i understand. kzbin.info/www/bejne/jnyvkox9fa-igK8 Opposite of undertones are overtones Here is Avi Kaplan melting brain cells vocalizing G3 while the overtone is "Mariah Carey whistles" actual Avi quote lol. The overtone was bouncing through most of the 6th octave - D7. kzbin.info/www/bejne/aJqZYpKAg8iShMU So they can do vocal acrobatics going loooooooowwwww and with some nuanced vocal magic hit whistle notes and bass notes at the same time. This to me is far more impressive than a male doing what would be considered traditionally female notes, they are singing notes traditionally "GRIZZLY" notes and traditionally "female notes"

[@christianschmid1440]

I guess one reason Earl left Voiceplay is because most people appreciate Geoff's voice most of the time.
