Love seeing people find Geoff for the first time. Just wait until you fall down the Geoff and Voiceplay rabbit hole.
Geoff is an absolute gift, and it's a shame that more people don't know about him. He not only sang this, but he also did the vocal and musical arrangement, and shot and edited the video (with the help of his production manager and wife, Kathy). He's autlso the bass singer for the a cappella group, VoicePlay (who are an entire rabbithole unto themselves, where he's joined by a bunch of other guys who are also vocal monsters), where he also provides arrangements and video work along with the beatboxer, Layne Stein. But Geoff alone is a force; he can cover just about anything and absolutely transform it while still paying homage to the original work. And as you've noticed, there isn't really anything outside of his range although he definitely favors the lower end. But I think every solo song he performs gives us at least a short trip into his upper register. This particular song is a great one for really highlighting his different ranges; I'm pretty sure the only thing he left out of this cover are subharmonic notes, which drop his lower end by a full octave. Wait until you hear him lay one of those on you!
As to where to go next in his catalog- follow your bliss. The man doesn't put out bad music, so anything you choose will be good, if not spectacular.
Geoff and the acapella group he is part of (Voiceplay) are beyond awesome and you definitely want to check out more! 🌹🕊
Thanks we will check them out!
Voiceplay is amazing, love their rendition of hoist the colors.
He is one of the most humble, kind, and nerdy men ever and he has such a gift. Please continue enjoying his work along with his band/group Voiceplay. They are great, amazing, talented, and genuinely good guys
Woohoo!!! Glad you both liked it... Shall send more your way... Love the reactions 🫶🏻
So gooood! Thank you 🙏🏻
Thanks Craig!
@@EtherealForever you're more welcome 🫶🏻
Oh, my, you are well and truly trapped by the lure of Geoff Castellucci now.
That is ok. He is a sweet addiction. So is the group he sings a capella with, Voiceplay.
Welcome.
It's always fun to watch someone who's never heard (or heard OF) Geoff react to one of his videos! The level of surprise and astonishment just keeps growing and growing throughout the song!
This is the 2nd of 3 videos where Geoff dresses up as some of the dwarves from The Hobbit movies, and the 3rd video (Song of Durin) includes a dwarf from The Lord of the Rings as well. The first (and still the most popular video on Geoff's solo channel) is Far Over the Misty Mountains Cold, where Geoff introduced the dwarves, but in that one there's really only 1 lead, all of the other voices stay in harmony, and it's much more difficult to pick them out. In this song, Geoff let each of the dwarves have a solo to showcase their voices, and it helps make this video my favorite from his channel.
If you check the description box for the video, you'll see that Geoff not only sings all of the vocals and makes the initial audio mix, he also arranges, produces, directs, films, and edits the videos, with his wife Kathy providing essential support such as costumes, which is pretty standard for Geoff's solo work. In a video like this one, he'll have help from specialists, like makeup and hair. He often works out of Pattycake Production studios, which is owned by fellow VoicePlay member Layne Stein with former VoicePlay member Tony Wakim, and VoicePlay's current rock-tenor Eli Jacobson provides the lighting. It's often quite a family affair!
You mentioned Geoff's speaking voice - he also has a number of short story and poetry readings on his channel, so if you just want to listen to his voice, you can always pick out one of those and give it a listen!
There are singers who can sing lower than Geoff, but the quality, tone, and sweetness of his voice are unmatched anywhere.
He started doing solo work when Covid shut the world down. Voiceplay had to stop touring so they concentrated exclusively on their UA-cam channel (also seen on Facebook and Instagram). Geoff and Voiceplay usually put out one major cover each month, Voiceplay also does 2 or 3 shorts/minis per month. Voiceplay's most recent is Be Prepared from the Lion King.
Subscribed in anticipation of more Geoff and Voiceplay!
As low as Geoff is questionable
@@bobharp3492 Tim Storms, among a few others. None as sweet and clear as Geoff's voice.
Geoff also creates the musical backings in his videos. His range is actually five octaves all told, but he doesn't usually use it all. Glad you enjoyed this. HIs range of genres will also surprise you.
Welcome to the Voiceplay and Geoff Castellucci rabbit hole.
As another reactor,Mortius, put it, "It's I see fire not I breathe fire." Geoff Castellucci and the Acapella group he is a part of, Voiceplay, always produce great music. Since we are in October I suggest his covers of Headless Horseman and The Monster Mash. For Voiceplay try their covers The Oogie Boogie song and This is Halloween both from The Nightmare Before Christmas movie. Regardless you cannot go wrong with your choice.
I'm so glad you guys have been introduced to Geoff! You have to check out his cover of The Sound of Silence!
Ah, you've discovered the Geoff Castellucci/Voiceplay rabbit hole. Both are fantastic.
Geoff has a 4 octave range which is amazing.
I'm a patron to both and Voiceplay dropped their Halloween song overnight (they're based in Florida, I'm in Scotland).
It's fantastic, I can't wait til it comes out on UA-cam 😊
Not quite. Geoff Castellucci has a 6 Octave Range. He ranges from a B0 to around a C5, maybe higher. He could probably sing the vast majority of VoicePlay's Arrangements alone.
@@ForeverDegenerate I know, however he says himself that his comfortable range is 4 stretching to 5. I agree he has an amazing talent 🙂
Geoff has two other Hobbit inspired covers, also try his cover of The Sound of Silence. You might enjoy the acapella group he belongs to, Voice Play's many many songs, I recomend The Oogy Boogy Song from Tim Burtons Nightmare Before Christmas (it is nearly Halloween).
Ooo we will definitely check those out! Thanks 🤩
If you want more low bass epicness, you should check out Valhalla Calling by VoicePlay, the acapella group with Geoff in it. Actually, you should check out a lot of videos from them, all of them are fire, but Valhalla calling is one of the most low I heard Geoff, so there's that 😀
The people with the largest vocal ranges on earth tend to be basses, actually. You can use a lot of techniques to get higher, but using pure chest range, you cannot fake low. There are a ton of bass singers with Geoff's vocal range, but very few who can use it as well as Geoff does. I am a bass with a larger vocal range than Geoff, can go substantially deeper than him, but would sell my soul to sing as well as he does... one of the most underrated singers on the planet, IMHO.
Over The Misty Mountains Cold, Song of Durin, Headless Horseman, Monster Mash, Ghost Riders In the Sky, Blackbird (Beatles cover)... Those are some other examples of Geoff's stunning voice, and his creativity, when it comes to making his videos. His acapella group VoicePlay is also worth checking out. They have done some pretty stellar stuff.
wonderful reaction, thank you! Keep a close eye out, both he and Voiceplay do spectacular Halloween performances every year, and the season is upon us!
Thank you! Wow that sounds really good we will definitely be watching out for this🙌🏼
Geoff (and the group in which is remains a founding member, VoicePlay) are totally independent and do almost all of the work on their monthly releases themselves. Their skill sets are impressive. The video description on each release will list all of the credits. The final sound mix is always Ed Boyer but the video editing is done by whomever in the group is in charge of that month's project; all Geoff on his solo channel. Geoff's wife, Kathy, is very involved and serves as Production Manager for both Geoff and VoicePlay. VoicePlay and Geoff have many loyal fans who will regularly visit channels that react to their work.
This is part of a LOTR trilogy along with Misty Mountain and Song of Durin
Welcome to the Geoff Castellucci (and hopefully the acapella group he's part of as well -Voiceplay). They have SO MUCH good music, and with spooky season here now I think you'll find quite a lot of fun stuff to help get you in the spooky mood!
Welcome to the rabbithole of Geoff Castellucci. It has a shortcut to the rabbithole of Voiceplay which is an a capella group where Geoff sings bass. They are outstanding. But be careful, once you are deep in one of these rabbitholes you might never want to get out again. 🥰
I will admit that I sometimes surf UA-cam specifically to see the look on someone's face when they hear their first Geoff Note. You guys did not disappoint! If you like the Hobbit, check out Geoff's cover of Misty Mountains and Durin's Song! If you like fantasy in general, check out Voiceplay's version of The Dragonborn Comes from Skyrim; it's Geoff's Acapella group and every one of them are amazing. If you like blood and thunder, Voiceplay's Valhalla Calling. Have fun and welcome!
It’s always a little funny to see peoples 🤯 hearing Geoff for the first time.
His cover of Jack's Lament is a wonderful video to watch for the Halloween season coming up. For voiceplay, i recommend their cover of Metallica's Nothing Else Matters, as well as their little mermaid medley.
If you'd like to see Geoff's full range, I'd recommend his cover of "Unshaken" as well as his cover of "Blackbird" by the beetles.
But overall, you can't go wrong with any of Geoff or Voiceplay's videos. They're all fantastic.
I love Geoff. He's amazing. Check out his other stuff and his Acapella group Voiceplay.
And remember all them are geoff in costumes
So you know I'm new sub and all
He just dropped The Song of Durin, just as good if not better. Check it out!
Nothing better than four Geoff's except when there are five. Geoff has done three dworf songs. Far Over The Misty Mountains Cold, I See Fire and newest is The Song of Durin. He is also a founding member of the Acapella group VoicePlay. #TheaterKidsOfAcapella. They cover everything from Metallica to Disney and more. Their newest is from the Lion King. Be Prepared. Geoff is the perfect Scar. More Geoff and definitely VoicePlay please. Will subscribe for them
Voiceplav just released a new video Be Prepared from the Lion King and Geoff is the lead singer. Gotta check out Valhalla Calling as well, Geoff hits a B0 and sustains it.
It’s always nice to see a Tolkien fan really appreciate this. I’ve always liked the song but it seemed odd to me to hear it in such a high voice since the dwarves are known for their deep voices. By the way, he released this on Hobbit Day , the day that the book was first released in 1937.
His cover of Misty Mountains featured the Geoff that visually resembles him most and the other three were primarily background singers. In this song it was more of a chance to show off his considerable range. In the cover of Song of Durin it’s more of an ensemble with a lot of harmonies and a fifth dwarf, Gimli. They are at the scene where Gimli is singing in front of Balin’s tomb and these four dwarves appear slowly since they were contemporaries of Balin. He based it on the interpretation by Clamavi de Profundis, but they do the entire song and it’s quite lengthy. Since you are a Tolkien fan I thought you might like to check it out if you have not done so already.
I know that they don’t celebrate Halloween in your area the way they do here in the states, but whether or not you’ve ever watched Nightmare before Christmas, you should probably check out VoicePlay’s four songs from the movie. Oogie boogie is usually recommended first because it really is very Geoff-centric, but my favorite is Kidnap the SandyClaws. But my all-time favorite is his his solo release from last year, Jack’s Lament. He not only shows off his vocal chops, but his acting ability as well. It’s my favorite song from the movie and he has truly done it justice.
I really enjoyed your reaction, especially since you are a fan of Tolkien , and have subscribed in hopes that you will cover more of Geoff’s work as well as VoicePlay’s.
😂😂 this was such a fun reaction!!
Geoff is amazing and I hope you guys get to see some of his Acapella group, VoicePlay. They are crazy good.
Love the cute fur baby! ❤
@Double Take Reacts
Fun Fact: Geoff not only did all of the singing for this arrangement, but he also laid down the piano track. That's right, Geoff is a pianist as well. The only thing he didn't actually perform were the drums.
If you haven't checked it out yet, you should check out Peter Hollens' Arrangement of "I See Fire." Preferably the one where it's just him and he layers himself an insane amount of times. The other version are worth a watch/listen as he has recorded this song multiple times with different guests and they all sound great, but I'm partial to the version of just him because it's mind-boggling what he does with that arrangement. If run a UA-cam Search for "Peter Hollens," his UA-cam Channel should pop up. Have deep diving that rabbit hole in addition to Geoff Castellucci and VoicePlay should you decide to check out Peter.
I don't think i've ever seen anything quite like this before,interesting,i'm probably missing a lot here as i've not seen,or read The Hobbit,but dem vocals wow,they were something else! between the pirate impression yesterday and Jasmine's craziness on repeat again today,i think i'm gonna be traumatized by the end of the week if this continues,i am now going to shower to cleanse myself of this craziness😵💫😆
Honestly so unique! Definitely give the Hobbit a read or watch if you have the time!!! And there will be lots more craziness from Jasmine on Sundays Birthday Livestream🎉
@@DoubleTakeJC I'll look forward to Sunday with nervous anticipation😧😂 nah fr,i'll definitely check out the Hobbit movies,i have heard good things about them,thanks for the recommendation👍
It's not "they" it's all just Geoff!
@@vvoof2601 Wow,i never even realised that,such amazing talent,thanks for that!
you should check out his cover of Jack's Lament. He really shows off what he's known for in that one.
You should definitely check out some more of Geoff and also Voiceplay. Geoff doing Oogie Boogie song, dream on or Valhalla calling are great Voiceplay songs that showcase Geoff’s range.
I rec meet the group voice play accapella i rec starting with , Valhalla calling, check out both vp, and Geoff castelluchi channels all great stuff they are talented beyond belief
Awesome reaction
Geoff is sooo good. He actually released two songs in The Hobbit trilogy. This was actually the second song. The first song is over the Misty Mountains Cold and he just released the third song which is the song of Durin.
I would recommend checking out those two as well he is also the bass singer of the group called voiceplay. They are absolutely insane. They get into characters their videos are always so funny and engaging. Their guest singers are so talented. I would recommend my mother told me and its sequel Valhalla calling. Their cover of nothing else matters. The Dragonborn Comes. Pirates of the Caribbean Hoist the Colors. Honestly you can't go wrong with any of their videos. They just released the Lion King's be prepared recently.
Now that I think about it spooky season is upon us. They've got a bunch of Halloween songs. The oogie boogie song, grim grinning ghosts, ding dong to name a few. Between Geoff and voiceplay they've just about covered all of The Nightmare Before Christmas.
Welcome to the rabbit hole. We hope you enjoy your fall
He’s Italian and a very low bass singer
Welcome to Geoff (and hopefully VoicePlay in your future)! If you want to keep going with Geoff, I suggest your round out his current Hobbit/LoTR trilogy and check out Misty Mountains and Song of Durin.
This man is a marvel plain and simple but bein a hobbit fan u should also check out his covers of song of durin and misty mountains cold😊
Fun reaction! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you!
All of them are Jeff
Now you need to react to Song of Durin w/ Gimli. As good as this one is and it's in my top 5, Song of Durin comes from a poem in The Lord of the Rings and it's incredible. VoicePlay did a lead in video for the Halloween season and it's known as Classical Chaos w/ Rachel Potter who is trying to show the guys how to cast a spell. She looksannoyed enough that maybe she's a teacher trying keep the kids in their seats. You will see that they come by their nickname of The Theatre Kids of A Capella. After that, check out The Way You Make Me Feel and/or Total Eclipse of the Heart or even Be Prepared. Geoff has even done Imagine recently and for Halloween consider Jack's Lament.
Nice doggy :-)
check out voiceplay!
Great Reaction, love all of Geoff’s stuff and Voiceplay are phenomenal, if your gamers check out his Red dead Redemption 2 “unshaken “
👍🎶
