Home Free, Pentatonix, and Voice Play are the holy trinity of a capella. They all know each other. Tim, Avi, and Geoff are all friends and have sung together. A lot of us knew about a capella because at some point we were in a glee club or chorus. We were ruined early.
Geoff actually has a video instructing how to sing low. Geoff can hit these notes even without a hammer and sitting down.. I hope you stick with VP and Geoff has his own channel.
The bass, Geoff Castalucci, considers himself a baritone with bass training. He wanted to be a rock tenor. He and the beat boxer, Layne Stein provided vocal percussion. Eli, the bald “scary looking” dude toured with a hard rock band for years. To really appreciate Geoff’s low notes, you might check his private channel and his cover of Far Over the Misty Mountains cCold from the Hobbit. It is the dwarves song just before they re-enter the mines of Moria. He likes to arrange four part harmonies for himself and sings all four parts and appears as all four singers. This is probably their most epic performance to date. They don’t always dress in costume but when they do, it’s usually pretty amazing. I didn’t think they could top their cover of Hoist the Colours from Pirates of the Caribbean 3 but this one beat it out. You might want to look at VoicePlays’s cover of Carry on my Wayward Son from Kansas for more of a rock sound. Layne and Geoff really do a great job of performing the vocal percussion and replacing the instruments. Another where they really shine is in their newer cover of Dream On by Aerosmith. It is sort of a follow up to their cover of Warriors by Imagine Dragons, which was used in a League of Legends tournament. They both have the same post apocalyptic feel.
They're amazing, welcome to VP world. You'd dig their stuff. They're (IMO) the most creative and unique of the trifecta. They're arrangements are incredible
I've been watching VoicePlay for a long time now. I found them by watching their Tennesse Whisky after seeing Chris Stapleton's version. The harmonies and bass voice of Geoff blew me away and I've never looked back. Of the three main acapella groups I love these guys best because of their versatility. They can cover so many genres and do all the work themselves. The vocal percussion/beatboxer is Layne Stein. Apparently he has bars too. If you really want to know how Geoff sings so low, check out his videos on How to Sing Low.... Geoff Castellucci :)
I always LOVE seeing someone new discover Voiceplay! Yes, they are acapella like Home Free. But Voiceplay are like the theater kids of Acapella. Enjoy your trip down this rabbit hole! If you want to see serious magic from these guys, check out their covers of Hoist the Colours from Pirates of the Caribbean, We don't talk about Bruno from Encanto, or maybe Butter (BTS cover) or Bang. These guys are brilliant! Geoff Castellucci (the bass singer) has his own channel...and you will absolutely faint when you hear some of the low notes he can hit. He is the human subwoofer. :) Hint: He doesn't need a hammer. He's just magic.
Thanks so much for spelling Geoff's name right......so many people misspell his last name and it makes me a little miffed......idk why, but it does......probably because i love him so much !!!....LOL
These three acapella groups are next level future force. What gets me is so many people that like rap like acapella when they here it. Then they move on to Dimash and end up mind blown at the possibilities in music.
The guy with the deep base is called Geoff Castalucci- and what he did during that performance is nothing compared to what he can do / already has done. I recommend you watch "Aint no sunshine" done by him or Hoist the Colours from Voice play. Both show him off very well
That's the thing, the acapella community is supporting and welcoming that if someone gets introduced to one of the biggest acapella groups ( Pentatonix,Home free, Voiceplay) you should get recommended with the other two
@@TruthNoLie_ You should check out some of PTX's older stuff from when Avi was still part of the group....Broken Hallelujah and Mary Did You Know? would be good choices...
Voiceplay is my very favorite acapella group. One of my favorite things is to watch a reactor see and hear them for the first time, because I know what's coming. After you react to Man in the Mirror and Butter, check out their newest release, Dream On (Aerosmith). The lineup has changed in the last two years, one member left for personal reasons, a second left to join the US Navy and sing with them. This video has the current lineup with a featured artist joining them. And Geoff Castellucci, the bass, has a solo channel he started during the pandemic. You will want to go down that rabbit hole, as well. Thanx for reacting to this!!
Hello it seems to me that you have confused the beatbox with the bass voice. The beatbox is called Layne: it was on the right in the image with a beast skin. You missed his performance because you looked elsewhere to talk to us. Geoff Castelluci, with the hammer, does the bass voice. Listen to "my mother told me" or "hoist of the color" "don't talk about bruno" always with voiceplay or Geoff alone, in "16 tones" or "ain't no sunshine" to start. Kind regards
Layne (beatbox) just ups his game every video. For VP's more theatrical videos, checkout Dream On, My Mother Told Me, Friends On the Other Side or Hoist the Colours. For less theatrics try Warriors, Superstition, or Wayward Son (also with Omar) In Just Sing (watch WITH captions) they make fun of Geoff and Tim both having the grey streaks in their hair - long hair and a grey streak seem to be a requirement for a low bass. ;)
Here's how we know about this... Home Free, Pentatonix and VoicePlay were all three on a TV Competition show for Acapella groups called "Sing Off". Home Free and PTX both won their seasons of the sing Off show. Check out Voiceplay's cover of "Oogie Boogie Song" from the Nightmare Before Christmas movie. They are very theatrical compared to other Acapella groups. Their bass singer Geoff (Jeff) Castellucci also helps out Home Free with arrangements and video production when needed. You may also remember that Avi Kaplan former Bass singer of Pentatonix did a collab with Home Free on "Ring Of Fire". So they all know each other from the Sing Off show and collab as desired. Enjoy!
I found a Cappella when home free popped up on my feed. After listening to them a few times pentatonic started showing up on my feed, then voiceplay joined in on.my feed. If it wasn't for the yt algorithm id never have seen any of them.
I think you’d like their version of the Halo theme also. If you react to that one, check out the first pinned comment first, and keep rolling through Scott’s comments. You’ll get a quick history of the group. By the way, that’s just the upper level patrons. They had to stop listing everyone when the list got too long to scroll or add to the comments.
I liked this video purely for the fact that you took the time to addressed hardships by saying "adjust your crown" and I absolutely love that. Especially since I'm someone who has thought that they wouldn't get through certain things. That made me smile. Thank you.
Gotta tell you that... Your reaction was priceless... You know you possess the power when your voice rattles windows... Geoff does arpeggios near the end...
VoicePlay were in season 4 of the Sing-Off, the season won by Home Free. I think I first saw them in the video Zombies vs Hillbillies - Survivor. The were the zombies.
If you didn't know, Geoff the base singer can beatbox as well. He taught Layne, VP beatboxer how to beatbox. Layne played violin for 15 yrs prior which you can see him play in VP's Dream On cover.
I heard another bassist on a short of “Hoist the colors” @Bobby Waters I had to hear it again so I searched and searched and found them and went down the rabbit hole
I’m sure everyone has their own path to finding voiceplay/a cappella. I was actually listening to covers of the song “16 tons” and found a version by Geoff Castellucci who is the bass of voiceplay. Ended up in the rabbit hole of voiceplay and Geoff’s solo work 🤷♂️ 0 regrets
I have the feeling you are about to have a blast listening to more Voiceplay. Just be prepared to see a bunch of different lineups as they've had quite a few changes in the group over the years. The three constants are Layne Stein (beatboxer), Geoff Castellucci (bass) and Eli (pronounced Ellie not EE-lie) Jacobson (bald tenor). In the earliest videos, you will see Tony Wakim as the baritone, he left and was eventually replaced by J. None, who himself left late last year to join the Navy (which is why 'Man in the Mirror' is a particularly heartfelt tribute to him as one of his last videos with the group). They now have Cesar de la Rosa. Their high tenor, Earl Elkins, Jr. left a while back, and they are still looking for a replacement, which is why you often see 'featuring' in their titles, when they bring in guests to work with them and round out the group. I can only speak for myself as to how I 'discovered' these guys. At the beginning of this year, I knew nothing about a cappella groups at all. I had just watched a multi-episode documentary on the Beatles, and after watching the one focusing on 'Eleanor Rigby' and how George Martin and Paul McCartney had decided to use a string octet as the instrumental backing for it, I went on UA-cam to watch other versions of the song. I listened to several, including one live version performed by McCartney with a string octet behind him. And one suggested video that kept coming up was for the 'Voiceplay' version, and I finally clicked on it honestly thinking "Voice Play" was some kind of description for a particular type of performance, not even realizing that it was the name of the group. Their performance of the song stunned me, and I think I watched it at least 4 times in a row. Then I started watching some of their other videos, choosing 'oldie' songs that I knew like "Unchained Melody" and "Can't Help Falling In Love", and then on Geoff's solo effort "16 Tons". And it's just been a constant joy over the ensuing months to discover more and more of their work, particularly as they keep topping themselves with their latest releases. They are monumentally talented, as not only singers, but actors and musical arrangers as well.
Several years ago Geoff worked at Universal Studios Orlando. I worked there as well. VoicePlay competed on The SingOff against Home Free. A few years later I was at Mickeys Very Merry Christmas Party and they were performing on one of the small stages in between the parades and fireworks. I really started listening to them after seeing them live. I started looking their music on UA-cam and then I fell down the reactors channels hole. I love seeing new reactors find them.
I fell into the deep and harmonious rabbit hole that is Geoff and VoicePlay about 2 years ago and have been obsessed ever since! VP are my favourite A Cappella group because of their versatility covering many different musical genres. Great reaction, thanks and please follow us down the rabbit hole with more VoicePlay or Geoff reactions, you can't really go wrong with anything they've done! 🙂👍
I'll second the calls for 'Dream On', 'My Mother Told Me', and 'Friends on the Other Side' and will add their medleys as their transitions are TOP NOTCH. Check out the 'Moana' and 'Little Mermaid' medleys they did with Rachel Potter Also their 2 songs based on the Nightmare Before Christmas movie are FIRE... There's 'This is Halloween' and 'Oogie Boogie Song' and both are FIRE
Your reaction cracked me up. I am glad you enjoyed my all time favorite singers. The hammer and hair thing....oh my word. Love it. Definitely check out more Voiceplay. If you like the slow harmonies and low voice, check out halo and nothing else matters. For some great beat boxing from Layne, check out... Anything. But maybe dream on and carry on wayward son and we don't talk about Bruno. He is a very unique beatboxer.
Halo has their original beat boxer in it. LAYNE, their current beat boxer took over but that was before anyone knew them. He was a regular Tenor then too.
I don't think you haven't watched Voiceplay recently. Just stopping by to say I'd be interested to see your reaction to their Dream On/ Aerosmith/ and Metallica's Notting Else Matters. Can you imagine? A capella rock? Metallica acapella !?. Wow!
I love VP. The three "main" acapella groups are absolutely amazing but VP is my fave. One day last year I was looking for Celtic music and came across Geoffs' (bass singer) cover of "Over the Misty Mountains Cold". When I heard Geoffs' voice my jaw dropped throughout the entire video and I had to have more. Then I discovered he was part of VP and ended up going into a rabbit hole I've never wanted to leave! Please react to more VP. You won't be sorry and you'll have another sub! Thanks!
With you being a beatbox champion, you will definitely appreciate all things about Voiceplay, they have some of the most insane arrangements with their beatboxer Layne. I love acapella and in my opinion VP is the best. Nothing against Homefree or Pentatonix they are both great but VP's arrangements, bass energy and harmonies are second to none. Some songs you definitely want to check out Hoist the Colours, Dream On, Halo, Friends on the Other Side. Definitely looking forward for more of your reactions of VoicePlay!
Acapella fans are an obsessed group and we are always looking for more talent! Voice Play is right up there with Home Free and Pentatonix. Together the form the trifecta of world class acapella. Other great VP songs: My Mother Told Me, Warriors, Dream On (recent), Hoist the Colors (EPIC), Queen in 5 Minutes, Bang... and many more!
Excellent one to start your VP journey. Be advised, this rabbit hole is deep (no pun intended). 😉 My introduction to VP was "Daddy Sang Bass" because I love the song. I have been hooked every since. Between that and Geoff (the bass) singing quartets with himself, I have my fill of the best music ever created IMO. Also love their theatrics. Suggestions - Warriors, Halo Theme, Hoist the Colours (Pirates of the Caribbean), Dream On … and too many others to mention. VP has had a couple of people leave over the last year, so you might see some older videos with different people. The three consistent members are Geoff (Jeff,bass), Eli (Ell lee, bald dude, tenor), Layne (beatboxer, taller guy with dark hair). Cesar (black guy, elf ears, baritone) is the newest member. The high tenor is their guest this time. He’s also in Dream on, Superstition, and Carry On My Wayward Son.
Hey man, i freaking LOVE your word of encouragement before the actual reaction. Instead of some generic "blah blah" you actually said nice and meaningful stuff. "Get yourself to feel better" ... "go out an help someone" ... awesome. Thumbs up already for that alone.
Omar is the archer. Ele is the guy in the hooded robe who's voice you liked so much. Cesar sang 2nd and Layne, the beatboxer, is on one end while the bass Geoff is on the other end at the very end. 🤣😂You are so full of it! Geoff said the deep bass is because of the hair. 🤣😂
I came across Geoff doing the Monster Mash in mid-October last year. It's one of my very favorite Halloween songs. So I watched, wanted to watch some more and found out he was part of a group. They had just come out with Hoist the Colours, and I haven't come up for air yet. I have listened to most of their songs - can't say all cause last week I found one I didn't know.
Fantastic reaction. Can you react to VoicePlays song. Warrior (imagine Dragons) please its amazing. Layne beatboxes while playing a violin at the same time xx
If you don't know that you have that voice, you don't have it. If you've got it, you know it. Geoff had to work very very hard very very long to be able to go that low, that loud, that long, with that beautiful tone. A few others can go lower, but nobody sounds better, not even close.
I'm patiently (not really) waiting for you to react to Geoff Castellucci's songs. He doesn't carry a hammer but he can still belt out those low notes. My favorites are Ain't No Sunshing, Sixteen Tons, Shenandoah, Way Down, The Monster Mash and Misty Mountains. He does all his own backup vocals and is FANTASTIC!!!
Okay, sit back and I'll give you a couple of things to chew on. :) 1st welcome to the Glorious Rabbit Hole that is acapella and Voiceplay. One of the Big 3 groups that many people here on You tube follow and like. The other 2 are Pentatonix, and Home Free. I have heard several people (and online communities) refer to Voiceplay as the 'theater kids of acapella while Pentatonix are the More 'pop' sound and Home Free is generally more of a 'country' influenced sound. This particular video is one of their newer ones. I think You will see some of how they have VASTLY improved over the years by going back to....about 2019 and watching Oogie Boogie's song. this one IS excellent But...you will be blown AWAY by I will Survive (which they filmed during Lockdown) and Queen in 5 minutes. Then after you pick yourself up off the floor PLEASE listen to and watch Hoist the Colors, If I were a Rich Man/Girl and HALO. (Also watch the halo one all the way through to see background and a beautiful tribute to one of their founding friends) any of their videos will blow the top off your noggin, I saw them in person at the Christmas Party in the Magic Kingdom in Orlando in 2016 (I think) and they were JUST as good in person as their video tracks are. enjoy the ride. (and the views once the Voice Players find you)
Without being offensive, someone tells two friends, and they tell two friends... Check Geoff Castellucci latest release a cover of "AIN'T NO SUNSHINE (WHEN SHE GONE)" and the solo project of Tim Foust. (of HOME FREE)
You need to watch My Mother Told Me, you will really enjoy it,it’s by Voice Play. I really like your excuse for not being able to hit the note. I think it’s the hair, if you look at Home Free bass has long hair also. I love your reactions
![ПОЛНАЯ ИСТОРИЯ ЭКЗОРЦИЗМА [Топ Сикрет]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/qBySr6Bt0B8/mqdefault.jpg)
Home Free, Pentatonix, and Voice Play are the holy trinity of a capella. They all know each other. Tim, Avi, and Geoff are all friends and have sung together.
A lot of us knew about a capella because at some point we were in a glee club or chorus. We were ruined early.
Geoff actually has a video instructing how to sing low. Geoff can hit these notes even without a hammer and sitting down.. I hope you stick with VP and Geoff has his own channel.
The bass, Geoff Castalucci, considers himself a baritone with bass training. He wanted to be a rock tenor. He and the beat boxer, Layne Stein provided vocal percussion. Eli, the bald “scary looking” dude toured with a hard rock band for years.

Layne and Geoff really do a great job of performing the vocal percussion and replacing the instruments. Another where they really shine is in their newer cover of Dream On by Aerosmith. It is sort of a follow up to their cover of Warriors by Imagine Dragons, which was used in a League of Legends tournament. They both have the same post apocalyptic feel.

The holey trinity of professional acapella
We think alike!!
Need to listen to “The Oogie Boogie Song,” “Hoist the Colours,” and “Dream On.” You’ll be hooked on these guys.

Be careful with PTX reactions, they have signed with Sony records
Thanks for the messages at the beginning, and keep that up. And yes, definitely check out more VoicePlay!
Voiceplay is my very favorite acapella group. One of my favorite things is to watch a reactor see and hear them for the first time, because I know what's coming. After you react to Man in the Mirror and Butter, check out their newest release, Dream On (Aerosmith).

Yay! We got another reactor in the Rabbit Hole!
I loved your reaction and can't wait to another video😊

I found a Cappella when home free popped up on my feed. After listening to them a few times pentatonic started showing up on my feed, then voiceplay joined in on.my feed. If it wasn't for the yt algorithm id never have seen any of them.
he can do all of that without a hammer! your face. when Geoff started was an absolute picture

I appreciate your authentic live reaction quite a lot! Hopefully you will watch with us to much more art of Voiceplay and Geoff
Gotta tell you that...

VoicePlay were in season 4 of the Sing-Off, the season won by Home Free. I think I first saw them in the video Zombies vs Hillbillies - Survivor. The were the zombies.
Thanks for reacting to vioceplay.. they are amazing. The hammer though bro... lol😄. Check out Geoff Castellucci tutorial on sub harmanics.
If you like this, you'll LOVE their "My Mother Told Me."
If you didn't know, Geoff the base singer can beatbox as well. He taught Layne, VP beatboxer how to beatbox. Layne played violin for 15 yrs prior which you can see him play in VP's Dream On cover.
If you think the bass was crazy in this one, check out their version of My Mother Told Me
I loved him singing Oogie boogie Man from Disney’s nightmare before Christmas 😁😁
Years and years of training 50% talent.
I heard another bassist on a short of “Hoist the colors” @Bobby Waters I had to hear it again so I searched and searched and found them and went down the rabbit hole
I love your positivity, Sir...thank you. Spread the love :)
💯
I think you'd enjoy the talents of Voice Play
I’m sure everyone has their own path to finding voiceplay/a cappella. I was actually listening to covers of the song “16 tons” and found a version by Geoff Castellucci who is the bass of voiceplay. Ended up in the rabbit hole of voiceplay and Geoff’s solo work 🤷♂️ 0 regrets
I have the feeling you are about to have a blast listening to more Voiceplay. Just be prepared to see a bunch of different lineups as they've had quite a few changes in the group over the years.

Lit review! Thanks for sharing!
We found it because we’re all addicted to music reactions! 🤣
I fell into the deep and harmonious rabbit hole that is Geoff and VoicePlay about 2 years ago and have been obsessed ever since! VP are my favourite A Cappella group because of their versatility covering many different musical genres. Great reaction, thanks and please follow us down the rabbit hole with more VoicePlay or Geoff reactions, you can't really go wrong with anything they've done! 🙂👍
I enjoyed your sincere reaction and am hoping to see more Voice Play reactions from you.
More coming!!
I'll be here to watch every reaction to VoicePlay, can't wait! Welcome to the VoicePlay rabbit hole. It's a blast.
I'll second the calls for 'Dream On', 'My Mother Told Me', and 'Friends on the Other Side' and will add their medleys as their transitions are TOP NOTCH. Check out the 'Moana' and 'Little Mermaid' medleys they did with Rachel Potter Also their 2 songs based on the Nightmare Before Christmas movie are FIRE... There's 'This is Halloween' and 'Oogie Boogie Song' and both are FIRE
Your reaction is Hilarious 😂 I absolutely loved it. Subscribed xx
Appreciate you!!
You have to watch a ton of their stuff,their beatboxer Layne is a LEGEND. hoist the colours and we don't talk about Bruno are pretty epic from him
Your reaction cracked me up. I am glad you enjoyed my all time favorite singers. The hammer and hair thing....oh my word. Love it.
Definitely check out more Voiceplay. If you like the slow harmonies and low voice, check out halo and nothing else matters. For some great beat boxing from Layne, check out... Anything. But maybe dream on and carry on wayward son and we don't talk about Bruno. He is a very unique beatboxer.
Halo has their original beat boxer in it. LAYNE, their current beat boxer took over but that was before anyone knew them. He was a regular Tenor then too.
Amen Brother...Wise words, Sir
Thanks for watching!!
Your intro alone made me hit pause and click the like button, now i'm looking forward to watching the rest :D
Appreciate you!!
You're hilarious! very enjoyable reaction ❤️🔥❤️🔥
Thanks for watching!!
Apparent Geoff started as a run of the mill Tenor.
You're fin'a be in a rabbit-hole of acapella. Welcome.
I don't think you haven't watched Voiceplay recently. Just stopping by to say I'd be interested to see your reaction to their Dream On/ Aerosmith/ and Metallica's Notting Else Matters. Can you imagine? A capella rock? Metallica acapella !?. Wow!
You should hear Layne's crazy perc in VoicePlay's Enemy and Dream On covers. XD
Great reaction
Please react to voiceplay hoist the colours ( pirates of caraibbian song)
I love VP. The three "main" acapella groups are absolutely amazing but VP is my fave. One day last year I was looking for Celtic music and came across Geoffs' (bass singer) cover of "Over the Misty Mountains Cold".
When I heard Geoffs' voice my jaw dropped throughout the entire video and I had to have more. Then I discovered he was part of VP and ended up going into a rabbit hole I've never wanted to leave!
Please react to more VP. You won't be sorry and you'll have another sub! Thanks!
OMG, the "hammer" part of your reaction literally had me laughing so hard I fell out of my chair!!!! Thanks, I needed that bro!!!!!
Glad you enjoyed it
love the way Voiceplay "steals" the comments from your throat...
With you being a beatbox champion, you will definitely appreciate all things about Voiceplay, they have some of the most insane arrangements with their beatboxer Layne. I love acapella and in my opinion VP is the best. Nothing against Homefree or Pentatonix they are both great but VP's arrangements, bass energy and harmonies are second to none. Some songs you definitely want to check out Hoist the Colours, Dream On, Halo, Friends on the Other Side. Definitely looking forward for more of your reactions of VoicePlay!
Listen to Hoist the colors! Blow your mind!
I don't usually laugh till snot comes out of my nose. 🤣 Great reaction.
😂😂 Thanks for watching!!
Adam Rupp is the beatboxer from Home Free you need to check out his drum solo with no drums I think it would blow you away he's very good!!!
Acapella fans are an obsessed group and we are always looking for more talent! Voice Play is right up there with Home Free and Pentatonix. Together the form the trifecta of world class acapella. Other great VP songs: My Mother Told Me, Warriors, Dream On (recent), Hoist the Colors (EPIC), Queen in 5 Minutes, Bang... and many more!
Voiceplay “Halo”, so damn good!
Check out Geoff Castalucci's Misty Mountain Cold and Home Free's Man of Constant Sorrow. The last one has some incredible beat boxing
Excellent one to start your VP journey. Be advised, this rabbit hole is deep (no pun intended). 😉
My introduction to VP was "Daddy Sang Bass" because I love the song. I have been hooked every since. Between that and Geoff (the bass) singing quartets with himself, I have my fill of the best music ever created IMO. Also love their theatrics.
Suggestions - Warriors, Halo Theme, Hoist the Colours (Pirates of the Caribbean), Dream On … and too many others to mention.
VP has had a couple of people leave over the last year, so you might see some older videos with different people. The three consistent members are Geoff (Jeff,bass), Eli (Ell lee, bald dude, tenor), Layne (beatboxer, taller guy with dark hair). Cesar (black guy, elf ears, baritone) is the newest member. The high tenor is their guest this time. He’s also in Dream on, Superstition, and Carry On My Wayward Son.
More is definitely on the way!!!
Patreon, Tiktok, Instagram....social media......where they live,......
Love it! More Home Free please. 😊
Love your style!
Appreciate you!
I love your reactions! Try Hoist the Colors , The Oogie Boogie Man and Misty Mountains, My Mama told m! Have at it!!
Once in the aca world, there ain't no way out.
4:00 -+ : How can you be that good?
Voiceplay, 5:10 : Hold my ale.
You really need to watch Valhalla calling. You will love it. Especially a part that is up your alley.
HIs face when geoff started to sing was priceless hahah
Watch Voiceplay's Misty Mountain and Hoist the Colors High...... trust me it gets even more amazing...
Hey man, i freaking LOVE your word of encouragement before the actual reaction.
Instead of some generic "blah blah" you actually said nice and meaningful stuff.
"Get yourself to feel better" ... "go out an help someone" ... awesome.
Thumbs up already for that alone.
Appreciate you taking the time out of your day to check the video out!! 💯💯
Omar is the archer. Ele is the guy in the hooded robe who's voice you liked so much. Cesar sang 2nd and Layne, the beatboxer, is on one end while the bass Geoff is on the other end at the very end.
🤣😂You are so full of it! Geoff said the deep bass is because of the hair. 🤣😂
😂😂
I came across Geoff doing the Monster Mash in mid-October last year. It's one of my very favorite Halloween songs. So I watched, wanted to watch some more and found out he was part of a group. They had just come out with Hoist the Colours, and I haven't come up for air yet. I have listened to most of their songs - can't say all cause last week I found one I didn't know.
Fantastic reaction. Can you react to VoicePlays song. Warrior (imagine Dragons) please its amazing. Layne beatboxes while playing a violin at the same time xx
He is actually a natural tenor. Geoff the bass guy.
I subscribed just for the hammer joke. That was funny!
Appreciate you watching!
Bro's eyes were wide asf the whole video 😂
If you don't know that you have that voice, you don't have it. If you've got it, you know it. Geoff had to work very very hard very very long to be able to go that low, that loud, that long, with that beautiful tone. A few others can go lower, but nobody sounds better, not even close.
I picked up a toolbelt from Home Depot, and went on to win 3 beatbox championships.
Ayyyeee!! Congratulations bro 😂
Check VoicePlay's Queen in 5 minutes and their latest drop, a cover of Aerosmith's Dream On.
I'm patiently (not really) waiting for you to react to Geoff Castellucci's songs. He doesn't carry a hammer but he can still belt out those low notes. My favorites are Ain't No Sunshing, Sixteen Tons, Shenandoah, Way Down, The Monster Mash and Misty Mountains. He does all his own backup vocals and is FANTASTIC!!!
Voiceplay - dream on
Okay, sit back and I'll give you a couple of things to chew on. :) 1st welcome to the Glorious Rabbit Hole that is acapella and Voiceplay. One of the Big 3 groups that many people here on You tube follow and like.
The other 2 are Pentatonix, and Home Free. I have heard several people (and online communities) refer to Voiceplay as the 'theater kids of acapella while Pentatonix are the More 'pop' sound and Home Free is generally more of a 'country' influenced sound.
This particular video is one of their newer ones. I think You will see some of how they have VASTLY improved over the years by going back to....about 2019 and watching Oogie Boogie's song.
this one IS excellent But...you will be blown AWAY by I will Survive (which they filmed during Lockdown) and Queen in 5 minutes. Then after you pick yourself up off the floor PLEASE listen to and watch Hoist the Colors, If I were a Rich Man/Girl and HALO. (Also watch the halo one all the way through to see background and a beautiful tribute to one of their founding friends)
any of their videos will blow the top off your noggin,
I saw them in person at the Christmas Party in the Magic Kingdom in Orlando in 2016 (I think) and they were JUST as good in person as their video tracks are.
enjoy the ride. (and the views once the Voice Players find you)
Geoff is the top bass 7 octive. Including sub harmonics voice play is top I rec my mother told me. A Viking shanty
Without being offensive, someone tells two friends, and they tell two friends... Check Geoff Castellucci latest release a cover of "AIN'T NO SUNSHINE (WHEN SHE GONE)"
and the solo project of Tim Foust. (of HOME FREE)
I can do the low parts of this song, i found out i could do it by watching bass battles with tim vs geoff vs avi and replicating every note in it
I recommend you their song from Halo just to be completely blown away :D
Geoff Castellucci is a basso profundo... he has a 6 octave range b0-a5
I’m seeing this a year late, but you’re funny. Thank you, I needed to laugh today😂
Glad you enjoyed!
You know the same way you knew you could beatbox
"how do you know?"..... you explore ...
You need to watch My Mother Told Me, you will really enjoy it,it’s by Voice Play.
I really like your excuse for not being able to hit the note.
I think it’s the hair, if you look at Home Free bass has long hair also. I love your reactions
Thanks for watching!!
Please do a reaction video of Voice Plays version of Enemy from Imagine Dragons. They are amazing.
Check their Halo Theme cover. Gaming perfection
