My First Time Reaction to Voiceplay with their song My Mother Told Me AND WOW!! What a first impression! After just one reaction I feel like an instant fan, all I can say is THAT BASS!! WOW!!

I love one of the comments on Voiceplay's original video, it says, "if your voice is low and rattles nearby objects you are a bass. But if your voice is so low that your friends ask you to stand in for a Viking War Horn.... You're Geoff Castellucci.
Now THIS quote I can agree with!!! Lol 😂
YES
Basso profundo is to Bass as Countertenor is to Tenor...an amazing rarity that takes the voice to the next level. Geoff's vocal range is b0-a5... 6 octaves
im now going to call war horns "geoff tubes"
DEFINITELY dig deeper into Voiceplay. “The Dragonborn Comes”, “Oogie Boogie’s song”, “Hoist the colors”, pretty much anything.
I was going to give him the same list.
More than happy to check those out too ❤️🤘
I couldn’t pick a better top three
HALO too!
@@barbaraandrist2250 I *definitely* concur!!! Give his channel name, it should blow his mind.
Dude you're going into a rabbit hole that is as deep as Geoffs voice.
Bring snacks and water.
“The bass is one bad day away from being a Marvel villain” My favorite description of Geoff EVER 😂🤣😂
I can’t wait for you to see “Hoist the colors” Geoff Castellucci is freaking AMAZING and goes to HELLS BASEMENT!! they are all great!! But Geoff shakes my soul!!!! Awesome reaction!!!
Hell's basement. Great description. 👍
So looking forward to that one ❤️
You might need a seat belt before you start this one!! My other favorite would be “Oogie boogie song” Geoff Castellucci (the bass) is the main lead in this one. Also, “Queen in 5 minutes” is beyond amazing. Queen and Freddie Mercy would be so proud of the job they did with that one. This is going to be a great adventure for you! I can’t wait to see it!!! I AM SO EXCITED FOR YOU!!!!! Have FUN!! ❤️
Don't know if you caught it or not it, but Layne is right down there with him - double check the bridge where it's just Geoff and Layne on the "Yo Ho"...Layne isn't but a few notes higher.
I love Geoff's solo stuff as well, he's so talented!
So basically voiceplay is like the best acapella group out here
Geoff Castellucci is a surprise because he is SUCH a pretty guy...but as a reminder...even Lucifer was an Angel once...
Geoff also does solo work because his range is NUTS...
Geoff’s solo of sixteen tons is so good
Voiceplay are immense!
Geoff Castellucci is on another level.
Look up his solo covers too, like 16 tons and more...
Yeah, Sixteen tons- check it out
I had 16 tons on repeat for over about a week after I heard it the first time. It's awesome 👌
Yep "16 tons" and "monster mash" are my favourites.
I really like Geoff’s newest song, “Big Bad John” because it is so deep. My favorite is “High and Dry” because it shows Geoff’s pure vocals, high and low, with a keyboard accompaniment.
He really outdid himself with "Ghost Riders in the Sky" it's freaking amazing.
Just FYI: Voice Play does all their own arrangements (usually Geoff - the bass - or Layne - the beat boxer), lighting, production, editing, etc.
It does help that Layne co-owns a film studio (Pattycake Productions). Eli does lighting, I presume he's an electrician, Layne and Geoff take it in turns to edit the video and audio, although Layne has said that the audio goes to a professional for the final tweaks.
He he he... LOVED your reaction! You have been slapped in the face by Geoff Castelluci! He routinely hits the bottom of the keyboard. He also arranged My Mother Told Me. Voiceplay are the "theater kids" of acapella - frequently dressing in costume and acting out the roles.
From left to right: Geoff Castelluci (base - obviously, pronounced Jeff), Eli Jacobson (pronounced El-ee: tenor), Jose Rosario (guest singer), J None (who left the group: baritone) and Layne Stein (beatboxer, also arranges). The newest member is Cesar De La Rosa in other videos.
Recommendations: Hoist the Colours (my favorite), Oogie Boogie Song, Dragonborn Comes, Halo, Carry on My Wayward Son, Little Mermaid Medley.
Geoff also has his own channel (base solos!): Sixteen Tons, House of the Rising Son, Far Over the Misty Mountains Cold, Headless Horsemen, Monster Mash, to name a few.
Have fun tumbling down the rabbit hole!
Let's go. For me personally voiceplay is my favorite acapella group. But each is own.
I wibble wobble between VoicePlay and Pentatonix. Home Free has high talent but I'm not much into Country so I just barely ever click on one of theirs. The last several of VPs, in full costume and location, have been MIND-ALTERING. But I found PTX before I ever heard VoicePlay, and I'm a serious Pentaholic, too. There is no "better." They both rank at #1 to me.
I have seen the video when HomeFree and VoicePlay got together in a tussle (zombies vs. hillbillies? LOL) and MAN, I wish they would do something similar with PTX. PTX doesn't do as much of the costume thing, but they have a few (Making Christmas, My Favorite Things, Love Again, etc.) And a showdown between Layne and Kevin would be so ... argh. Words fail. Ooh - if they re-used the set from "GUY.EXE" they could do something ... intriguing.
@@barbarabishop9362 I feel the same way for the most part I too found ptx first and have been fan of them years but voiceplay has began winning my heart in the last year or two. But I too typically would bounce between the two.
Oogie boogie song is amazing by them and Geoff the bass has his own solo work and covers I suggest checking his stuff out as well
I second many suggestions here, Geoff Casellucci is the bass, he does Hoist the Colors and it's friggin just amazing.
Welcome to the happy rabbit hole that is Voiceplay. The bass is Geoff Castellucci, amazingly he goes lower now & very high he has lots of really good solo stuff. Layne the beatboxer does some mad things! Eli is a rock god. They've been a few changes of people but everything they do is superb, they make a bloody good video too!! Enjoy 🇬🇧
There is a reason Geoff is called the human didgeridoo.
Congratulations -- you've been Castellucci'd! It's that cross between 404/brain malfunction and "kid in a candy store delight" that lets you know the bass is working 😆 Loved this, loved it!
A lot of us have wondered why Disney hasn't asked Geoff to do a villain. Actually, in a recent chat for patrons, he said that he always thought he wanted to be a sidekick, because they are often more funny and interesting. If you follow up with Voiceplay and his solo work, you will definitely see times when he channels his own personal 'bass hero' Thurl Ravenscroft, who voiced many things for Disney and is the one singing "You're a Mean One, Mr. Grinch" in the original TV Christmas animated version from 1966.
Well, he DID play the character of Ursula the Sea Witch in their Little Mermaid medley. 🙂
Hoist the colours fantastic. Sounds like a fog horn Geoff Castellucci is the bass singer. He also does his own videos as you should check out.
Voiceplay has several member changes but have great guests to fill out the 5. Check out the halo theme, the dragon born comes, hoist the colors, and definitely oogie boogies song.
The Halo theme included 'almost' the entire original roster. Please watch it all the way to the end of the video. Bring tissues. :)
"That man sounds like a jumbo jet or something". Best description of Geoff yet 😂 "Hoist the colours" is next, then "The little mermaid medley".
Instant sub from me, love your reaction ❤️
One very popular video is their "Oogie Boogie's Song" from The Nightmare Before Christmas. Bass singer Geoff Castellucci has a number of videos where he sings 4 part harmonies with himself.
Yes, like Blackbird, Misty Mountains, Monster Mash, , Geoff is a sub- rabbit hole to the Voiceplay rabbit hole, oh yes, Big Bad John, which is his most recent
The Dragon Born Comes, Hoist The Colors, many more before checking their solos. Their "featured guests" are awesome as well. Really enjoying your channel!
I think he will lose his mind listening to The Dragonborn Comes
Can't wait to check both out 🤘 and thank you my friend ❤️
@@GOTGames , The Bass singers Name Is Geoff Castelluci. If you want to see his full range listen to the Oogie Boogie song.
If you enjoy Home Free and Voiceplay watch them both in 'Zombies vs Hillbillies'. A lot of fun...
Oh wow!!!! This group is amazing!!! I am going to follow you down this rabbit hole, with them blasting on my Bose. Hahaha. Thanks for the intro to them. LOVE your reaction, as always. 😃
This is going to be so much fun! And thank you for your kind words ❤️❤️
This is going to be so much fun! And thank you for your kind words ❤️❤️
Dragonborn Comes, Halo theme, Rich Man/Girl, Hoist the Colors, Butter - pretty much anything by VP is worth checking out! Your reaction is much like mine the first time I heard them!
Seems like this is another bottomless rabbit hole 🤘
@@GOTGames Oh it is indeed. They have done so many and quite honestly I am so surprised that a record company hasn't signed them up.
Hoist the colours has got to be the next best in my opinion, you get to hear a lot more of the base on that. The base is done by Geoff and he has done ALOT of amazing work both with Voiceplay as well as on his own. 100% check him ut
Geoff Castalucci is the baritone/bass for Voiceplay. Check out his rendition of Misty Mountain Cold. It is freaking epic!
He's awesome! Can't wait to check that one out
Geoff Castellucci is a basso profundo and his voice is amazing.
He is also the person who arranges at least most of their arrangements.
He made a wonderful Monster Mash!
@@baskervillebee6097 Agreed!
Love the enthusiasm of your reactions. They just dropped a new one “We don’t talk about Bruno” it’s very impressive. Watch for the costume change.
Wait til you hear the newest! They just released it on Patreon. Another post apocalyptic setting. Totally new take on a classic. It should be out in a week or so.
to quote my message on "home free - ring of fire reaction" -> "how is that even possible? wait till you get to voiceplay".
also, hoist the colours is one of their best release, we don't talk about bruno is also amazing, i hadn't seen the original and i love it,
but really, there's no wrong choice, just take whatever speaks to you and go from here
I tagged them #TheatreKidsOfACappella. Hoist The Colors next to a Pirates of the Caribbean cover. Welcome to the never-ending rabbit hole that is VoicePlay. Geoff Castellucci is the bass. Also has his own channel where he does Low Bass Covers. They go all-in with the costumes, makeup, and sets.
Also their bass is Geoff Castalucci and he has is own channel where he does covers on his own you can check out
You should also listen to Oogie Boogie. Thats another really good one. Geoff Castellucci is an amazing bass singer. He can go deeper.
Barely any deeper lmao that deep deep bass was an f1
Great reaction!! Voiceplay is very different from PTX and Home Free (Voiceplay is my favorite but all 3 are great) you should check out Voiceplay’s cover of Hoist the Colours next!!!
Voiceplay...Hoist the Colors...Halo Theme (watch to the end)....Dragonborn Comes (Skyrim)....take your pick.
You said Trifecta!!! YES so true. I think the Oogie Boogie Man is the best one who shows Geoff's range. It's amazing at how effortlessly he can sing 3-4+ octaves in one to two lines. His tenor voice is beautiful and full that's it's almost impossible to believe it's the same voice that sings so low.
I have watched a TON of reactions to voiceplay and this song in particular and this is by far my favourite reaction to it :) Keep em coming!! Next up, Hoist the colors also by Voiceplay
Check out Geoff he does his own music "over the Misty mountain", Big John, Sixteen Tons" Voiceplay "oogie boogie", Dragon Born
One of my favorite things is watching reactors see and hear Voiceplay and Geoff Castellucci for the first time.
Next either Hoist the Colours or the Dragonborn Comes. Both of those have the current lineup plus one featured artist.
To see the range of their talent, check out We Don't Talk About Bruno, also current lineup plus featured artist.
Geoff is amazing, but all of them are extremely talented. Voiceplay arrangements are usually done Geoff or Layne Stein the beatboxer, about half and half. Eli (rhymes with jelly) Jacobson, the bald tenor, does their lighting and special effects and designed the set for this one. The black baritone left last year to join the US Navy and sing with them.
There have been changes in the lineup over the years, but you won't be disappointed in their talent.
I had so much fun watching you see VoicePlay for the first time, as I also only discovered them three weeks or so ago. Oogie Boogie and The dragonborn comes are both good ones that I recommend, while we don't talk about bruno from encanto and I've got friends on the other side are both really fun to watch.
Awesome reaction and much like I was when I first heard them. Geoff Castelucci is the bass and, yea, he’s awesome. Hoist the Colors and Skyrim are great choices.
Find Geoff’s channel and give him a listen to have your mind blown more. He is inspired by Thurl Ravencroft who is an old-school Disney and TV bass.
They did a beautiful cover of bridge over troubled waters and warriors and true colors and can’t help falling in love with you too! Also check out the bass singer’s channel as he, Geoff Castelluci, does awesome cover of misty mountain cold 🥶 & house of the rising sun & blackbird
The bass singer, Geoff Castellucci, has a 5+ octave range. His scaled down version of Radiohead’s “High and Dry” really shows this range. Tim Foust of Home Free also has a 5+ octave range.
Over the course of this pandemic, one of my new hobbies has become watching people absolutely lose their minds over Geoff (pronounced "Jeff") singing from the core of the earth. It just never disappoints.
I absolutely second every recommendation for VoicePlay below and in particular Geoff's solo work on his own channel. You're absolutely going to love "Misty Mountains Cold" in particular. Geoff does things thing where he just sings ALL the voices of a song in harmony with himself so you just get the effect of a full group of singers but it's just him doing all of it and your brain melts.
Welcome to Geoff Castalucci's scary bass!! You ain't heard nuthin' yet! By the way, Geoff has his own UA-cam channel. Oogie Boogie Song is a fun one with amazing harmonies and Geoff going wall up and down the scale.
Oh, and their Queen in 5 Minutes! The Brit Pops reactors gave that one a 10!
Yeah, this is how the first reaction to VoicePlay goes, lol. This wasn't even super low for Geoff, the bass singer. Plus, he can sing extremely high, as well; having a 5 octave vocal range.
Bro f1 is a note he sometimes can't hit
@@sceptorjax8756, he sometimes cannot hit it in CHEST RANGE. He can hit it with subharmonics and chest fry, though. A low bass need only hit a C2.
@@johndeeregreen4592 that's what I mean and in fact he has hit a f1 in chest but as I was saying my point is sometimes sorry for coming across as arrogant my bad
Really liked your reaction! The bass, Geoff Castellucci usually do that to people. You need to continue your VoicePlay journey. I recommend Dragonborn Comes or Hoist the Colours for you to react to next. But everything they do is fire. 🔥
I’m subscribing to see where you go from here. 🎶😊👍
Hahaahaaaha!!!! Yep, you've hit the trifecta of bass singers. Geoff Castellucci is the other Dragon Breath, and pretty much everybody who hears him for the first time reacts the same way. Brilliant reaction, as usual!
Skyrim is phenomenal…. They are always having others sing with them now.. the 3 mains now are the bass Geoff, Tenor Eli, and beatboxer Lane..
They are the originals, but Cesar is the newest member and he was a real find for them. I was skeptical at first but he's now come into his own since he started and proved to be a real asset to the group.
@@Tryst46 right…he’s been consistent and an asset for sure!
Yep. That's about the same reaction all of us had when we first heard Geoff and VoicePlay! 😂 The shock keeps coming with every video, by the way 😬
I always love watching someone discover Voiceplay for the first time and get knocked on their ass by Geoff's low notes. Enjoy your trip down the rabbit hole! Literally everything they do is brilliant! Check out Hoist the Colours, The Dragonborn Comes, and...well hell...check all their stuff out! They are the theater kids of acapella :)
My Mother Told Me was also my first Voiceplay song I heard and my reaction was almost the same like yours. You should defenetly check out the other songs. My favorites are Oogie Boogie Song, Hoist the colors, Warriors, Tennessee Whiskey and lot of others. And it's also worth to have a look at Geoff's solo work.
What you haven't heard yet is just how *high* that bass can go. Meet Geoff Castellucci, amazing bass vocalist, possibly an alien, definitely talented beyond reason. His voice spans 5 octaves, his vocal control and flexibility is ridiculous, and did anyone mention that he arranges half of VoicePlay's music? He shares the duty with Layne Stein (the beatboxer), and occasionally Eli (rhymes with 'jelly') Jacobson, the bald tenor in this video. Geoff also has a solo channel where he does cover songs, with his multitracked vocals handling all the vocal lines from tenor down to abyssal bass. You really have to hear those to grasp how phenomenal this man's range truly is.
VoicePlay's lineup gets confusing because there have been several changes in permanent members since they began uploading to UA-cam, as well as featuring a large number of other vocalists. The members you will always see are the three I've previously mentioned- Geoff, Layne and Eli. When their oldest videos, they were joined by high tenor Earl Elkins Jr. and baritone Tony Wakim. After Tony left, he was replaced by J. None, who is the black baritone in this video. Earl left mid-2020, and hasn't yet been replaced (instead, VoicePlay feature other artists to round out their number). J. None left in 2021 to join the US Navy, and was replaced by Cesar De La Rosa (baritone/tenor). One of their most often featured artists is Rachel Potter (to the point that she's considered an unofficial member of the group).
There’s a new one on VoicePlay’s Patreon now, I think it will be official on UA-cam on Friday and it’s great! They have so many great songs!! They’re my favourite group!
You got Voiceplayed! You've got nearly 10 years of catch up with these guys, like with Pentatonix and Home Free. I like Carry On Wayward Son, Queen in 5 minutes, and later, Hoist the Colours and The Dragonborn comes from Skyrim.. They also have a quirky funny side - try Moana Medley or We don't tak About Bruno. The bass, Geof Castelluci has his own channel and talks about how to do subharmonics, there. He has some absolutely beautiful solo stuff, like The Beatles' Blackbird. He and Layne, the beatboxer arrange a lot of their music.
I absolutely LOVE seeing people's reaction to hearing Geoff Castellucci for the first time. XD That "HOLY CRAP, WHAT THE EFF DID I JUST HEAR?!?!?!" face is priceless.
Literally anything they do! It is gold!!! Geoff Castalucci is the bass.
Geoff has an amazing cover of Blackbird and Misty Mountains. I am huge fan of Geoff, but Eli is my favourite in this and Hoist the Colours. He has that metal sound when he sings and I'm here for it🙂
My favorite thing lately is watching people react to Voice Play because of how people just get their minds blown when they hear Jeff. Then you hear the others and how they work very hard to showcase all the voices and bring in guests. Your reaction was PERFECT! Going to watch you watch Hoist the Colours now.
I LOVE watching first-timers discover Voice Play! Now for Hoist the Colors (EPIC), Wicked Medley, The Dragonborn Comes, Carry on Wayward Son, Warriors, Bang, and SO many more!
That guy is Geoff welcome to the vp rabbit hole. Make yourself comfortable. You're in for an interesting ride... We don't talk about Bruno is from Disney Encanto. They are brilliant at medleys and equally as brilliant in all the other songs... You can't go wrong... They have a fantastic sense of humour and are all great friends which is evident in the their work. Subscribing in anticipation. 😊
Great reaction! Yeah, VP is awesome! Hoist the Colors, Oogie Boogies Song, pretty much anything!
That guy is Geoff Castellucci, walking bass guitar, and dragonborn. Check out his low bass covers as well as anything by VoicePlay. Geoff breaks a lot reactors, it has to be said. :) Best not to say anything, just take a deep breath and enjoy :)
Nice reaction, I was looking forward to watching you react to Voiceplay. 😁
As a suggestion... I'd suggest you to watch either Halo Theme (INCLUDING the second half of the video... It provides the why's of that one AND a window into who these guys are on their human side), or The Dragonborn Comes (from the videogame Skyrim which I believe you know), or Hoist the Colours (from Pirates of the Caribbean III), or the "trinity" from Nightmare Before Christmas: "This is Halloween", "Kidnap the Sandy Claws" and "Boogie Boogie Song". But I'd also like to suggest you to check "that man", whose name is Geoff Castellucci, own channel, where he does some "low bass covers" that will blow your mind... Also because he plays 4 or 5 singing parts, harmonising with himself and covering about 5 octaves range 😁. I'd suggest to start with "Far over the Misty Mountains cold", or any one among his "non-halloween" stuff: High and dry, Blackbird, Shenandoah, Sixteen tons (and its "twin" Big Bad John), God rest ye merry gentlemen... You choose. 🙂
Voiceplay has many guests including a couple of ladies. Rachel Potter helps them with the Little Mermaid medley. She's great, she won a talent show (but it has been a while and my memory is crap; I can't remember if it was The Voice or America's Got Talent or X-Factor). A different lady helped them with their cover of The Grinch. :)
X factor
My favorite female collaborator is definitely Ashley Diane (“We Don’t Talk About Bruno” and “If I Were a Rich Man/Girl”).
@@marcgarrett4401 Thank you very much for clarifying. I really appreciate that. Too bad my memory is so bad. :)
Welcome to the theater kids of accapella! So glad you are adding them into your reactions! Recommendations: The Dragonborn Comes, Halo theme, Hoist the Colors, Butter, Rich Man/Girl, We Don't Talk About Bruno, Man in the Mirror, Bang!, Boy Bands in 5 Minutes to name a few. Would definitely recommend anything that they have done!
I love watching people’s reaction to hearing Voiceplay for the first time.
Please react to voiceplay hoist the colours please please
Great reaction! I've always liked "Bang" and "If I Were a Rich Man/Girl"
VoicePlay competed with Home Free in Season 4 of the SingOff. When Home Free won they went on a USA SingOff tour. VoicePlay was invited to join them along with another group, Filharmonic that worked well with them. Several Home Free members have appeared as guests on VoicePlay's channel and Layne and Geoff have assisted Home Free with arrangements on a couple of their videos. There is no competition between these two groups just mutual respect and friendship. On one of Home Free's videos one of the guys is even wearing a VoicePlay t-shirt.
It's nice to hear that the two groups support each other, MJ; for me it'll make watching their videos that much more enjoyable! (Yes, I'm a VoicePlay newbie who's peering out of her beloved PTX rabbit hole to explore additional warrens.)
@@rebeccataylor8981 Home Free and VoicePlay did Zombies vs Hillbillies Survivor which I think is on both their channels. Also online there is a performance of VoicePlay, Home Free and Filharmonic singing Hallelujah during the SingOff tour. Geoff and Layne of VP and all the Home Free guys are very tall and tower over all the other singers.
@@milomurphy9178 Thank you so much for those recommendations, MJ! I'll be able to watch them this evening. I'm also looking forward to VoicePlay's "Carry On My Wayward Son." Kansas was one of my favorite bands from my high school days.
@@milomurphy9178 Just watched your reccs! "Wayward Son" was beautiful, as was "Hallelujah"; it's amazing how they were able to showcase so many singers in that one. And "Survivor" was hilarious -- I loved the fake rotten hillbilly teeth (how on earth do they sing through those?) and the hoedown jig the guy in the middle was doing just before the zombies ate everyone. Thanks again!
@@rebeccataylor8981 Glad you liked them. One more of VoicePlay's videos is a must see; it is titled Just Sing. Shot during quarantine, it features all of their guest artists over the past years and many from their season of the SingOff. Watch with captions. It will let you know who everyone is.
Recommend Dragonborn Comes, Halo Theme, Hoist the Colors, and pretty much anything else they do.
Geoff sounds Iike a Gjallarhorn (Old Norse “Resounding Horn”). It is one of the most prized treasures of the gods. Heimdall, the gods’ ever-vigilant sentry, keeps watch over their celestial stronghold Asgard day and night with the Gjallarhorn in his hand. During Ragnarok, the final battle in which the cosmos will be destroyed, the giants will march upon Asgard. When Heimdall spots them heading for the gods’ sanctuary, he will let out such a huge blast from the Gjallarhorn that it will be heard throughout all the cosmos. Then all of the gods - and, indeed, all living beings - will know that their doom has arrived.
Yes! I told you Geoff was going to destroy you lol. The top songs from VoicePlay that you should check out: Carry On My Wayward Son, The Dragonborn Comes, The Halo Theme Song (Geoff hits a goddamn B0 in this one, it's inhuman), Hoist the Colours, Panic at the Disco in 4 Minutes.
Geoff also does solo videos -- Sixteen Tons is a recent fave!
PS -- love your reactions, your joy at discovering new music is absolutely infectious
I'm so glad you started with this one. I knew you'd like it! Definitely continue down the trifecta rabbit hole. You can't go wrong by picking the top songs for each group. You won't be disappointed. You've only just started. 😊 The bass is Geoff. I knew he would blow your mind lol 😂 he's basically a war horn in human form. AND he's got a huge range. You should check out his cover of Sixteen Tons.
This video was also my introduction to VoicePlay and I was instantly smitten. Geoff (Jeff) Castellucci is the bass singer's name and he has a 5 octave range. In addition to singing with VP and sometimes working with members of PTX and Home Free he has several "solo" numbers out there. Does it count as solo if there are four of him, five in the case of Take Me Home, Country Roads? Check out Sixteen Tons, House of the Rising Sun, Monster Mash, and his latest Big Bad John. Be prepared for your headphones to vibrate and your wall to shake. As to the group, there have been several line-up changes, so you're going to see different faces in other videos. When you watch the HALO Theme please keep watching after the song is over. Then go to Boy Bands in 5 Minutes; the big guy who hands off the sandwich at the flaming barrel is the one mentioned. You're going to get a long of different song to react to from others so I'm gonna name some older ones that I don't usually see mentioned. The Phantom of the Opera and Attention are great. ACA Top 10 Movie Themes with HF's Rob Lundquist. Road Trip, The Fox, Wookiee for Christmas, and The Chicken Song are all hilarious. And when you check out Just Song make sure your CC is on for the important subtitles. Enjoy! And welcome to the madhouse rabbit hole that is VP fandom.
Wonderful that your discovering Voiceplay! They’ve had the most member changes of the big three. Also, they often bring in others from other groups and some women from song to song.
Geoff Castellucci is their base and he have a lot of solo songs, u shuld react to him. Some of his songs covers: 15 tons;the headless horseman;howse of rising sun;country roads;misty mountains
Your reaction at 3:24 is why us old time voice play fanatics show up. That second when your brain breaks is our candy.
All right you now have the Trifecta of a cappella. PTX is considered the Kings and Queen of the prom, Home Free are the guys throwing a tailgate party in the parking lot and Voiceplay is the theatrical group. Don't think that is the only tunnels running from that rabbit hole you jumped down, it turns into a warren pretty quick. Between other groups and the collabs, not to mention their own channels a projects, you have tons of music and info coming your way. For all intents and purposes you can just throw a dart hit play and the music will always be fantastic.
What fun to watch you freak out just the way all of us VP fanatics did the first time - and sometimes still do on the new ones! Layne, the beatbox, (wearing black, white background, far right) arranged this, and Eli (el-ee) the tenor in the greenish tones, created the backdrops on Unreal Engine. With VoicePlay everything you see is them. They plan the videos, do the rough cut on vocals and finish edit on videos, and most things in between.
In Warriors, they break the no instruments rule. Watch it. You will be stunned. Hate to tell you, but it gets better.
I am soo glad you find a time to check Voicplay. Thank you foor your reaction. They are amazing, but for sure check Geoff Castellucci's solo staff as vell. Good luck on your journey in the Voicplay rabbit hole.💜💜
I’ve never even heard of these guys….they’re phenomenal!! 😮😮😮
I hope since then you've heard more, especially their cover of nothing else matters!
Lots of good stuff by their bass, Geoff. "Sixteen Tons" definitely worth the listen.
Yes, these three make the trifecta. There are so many more good groups but these three are the pinnacle. There are great solo projects from members from each of these three groups as well and some other amazing solo group work (the bass gang for one). Geoff has some great solo content as do Tim and Avi. Austin From Home Free has some amazing solo work as does Chance. They also collaborate with Peter Hollins who is a force unto himself. Home Free founder Chris Rupp has some amazing work since he left Home Free to go out on his own.
For your metal itch, don't neglect Slaughter to Prevail and I'd suggest Demolisher from them.
PS if you like Geoffs bass singing here, check out The Hu which is a Mongolian metal band. Try Song of Women featuring Lzzy Hale.
Yes man, prepare for Geoff, THE bass voice of the whole web.
Check out their cover of once upon a time & hoist the colors & I’ve got friends on the other side! Actually just watch everything they have done. You can’t go wrong with any of the songs they have done! 🥰❤️🥰❤️
This just makes me happy 😊
I've been a fan for years, and to be honest, it's been a while since I've punched in first-time voiceplay reactions, and it never fails to make me happy to watch a new fan 😊
now you need to check out Hoist the colours and the dragonborn comes you’ll love them ❤️🏴
The deep voiced guy is Geoff Castellucci! And he is my all time favorite bass singer! And my personal favorite of his is VoicePlay’s version of Oogie Boogie’s Song, which he is the lead singer of. He shows off his INSANE range and it’s SOOOO GOOD!!! I beg you to check it out, you won’t regret it!
Geoff has one of the most incredible voices i've ever heard, along with a range spanning 4 octaves. truly inspiring talent and dedication to the craft
Pentatonix took Acapella by its heel lifted it up shook it off and smacked it on his rear end. And made it into something new and now you have all these other groups taking it and running with it. Which is glorious!
Personally I'm not that crazy about Voice Play but they do an amazing job of theatrical performances. Their voices are fantastic, especially Geoff. Avi, Tim and Geoff are the 3 great bass. I think it's their song choices that aren't too my taste. All 3 groups were on the Sing Off. Voice Play was on at the same time as Home Free.
This was my first view of a VoicePlay video as well, and I really loved it! Although on reading the song title, I briefly expected them to be skipping rope and singing the rubber dolly song. Then the video started and I kept looking for Floki to leap out and do his hoodoo fingers. Then I got mad all over again that Ragnar cheated on Lagertha. Then the singing began and I yelled "THIS IS THE COOLEST VIKING SONG AND COSTUME THINGY *EVER* !" Then I had to get a mop and clean up the plate of food that I'd accidentally flung all over myself.
Voiceplay is Boss!! Please do check out more of their performances. Geoff Castelucci, the bass singer, also does solo videos. You will love their music!
Now you need to hear Valhalla Calling (Miracle of Sound). If you haven't seen it, check out Rains of Castamere - a Geoff solo - he has the Game of Thrones throne. Some of the amazing work in the last year: In the Hall of the Mountain King (Edvard Grieg 1875), Hide and Seek (Ding Dong) w/ Lauren Paley, Nothing Else Matters (Metallica), Valhalla Calling, In the Air Tonight (Phil Collins), an apocalyptic trilogy over 3 yrs - Warriors (Imagine Dragons), Dream On (Aerosmith), Seven Nation Army (White Stripes), Creep (Radiohead), Drunken Sailor, Dragonborn Comes Skyrim, Halo theme, Running Up That Hill (Kate Bush/Stranger Things).

“That GUY!!!” Is Geoff… one voice in a generation. Welcome to the happy group that knows him, and watched out for him.
All three groups, Pentatonix, Home Free, and Voice Play were all on the tv show The Sing Off. Pentatonix won their season,which was season 3, and Home Free won their season, which was season 4. Voice Play was a runner up on season 4. All 3 basses have crazy ranges.
Pentatonix has a Mitch.
Voiceplay has a Geoff.
Voiceplay (originally called 42Five) started around 2005. Like the other two acapella groups you've been watching, there's a core of about 3 people in each group that's been performing together since high school. Which apparently means that being world-class performers is less about native ability and more about putting in the hard work.
Voiceplay's core was bass Geoff Castellucci, baritone Layne Stein, and high tenor Earl Elkins. Scott Porter was a part of the group at one time, but he left to pursue an acting career. Rather than recruit a new beatboxer, Layne switched to beatboxing and they recruited a new baritone.
Pentatonix won The Sing-Off, season 3. Home Free won the show in season 4, and Voiceplay finished fifth that year. But HF and VP became and remained friends. The exposure got VP greater recognition. And Tim Foust helped Geoff develop his bass techniques.
When VP competed on The Sing-Off, the group consisted of Earl, Geoff, Layne, 2nd tenor Eli Jacobson, baritone Tony Wakim, and recent addition female lead singer Honey Larochelle who had also gone to high school with the core trio. That's who you'll see in their oldest UA-cam vids. But by 2015, they were back to just the five guys.
Tony left in 2016. After a search of a year and 3 months, JNone joined them in 2017. That lineup was stable until 2020, and is what you see in most of their older vids.
Earl left in 2020. JNone left in 2021. Between that, and COVID interfering with touring, they're concentrating on very theatrical vids, and they have six or eight guest artists (some male, some female) who show up in their vids repeatedly. They've added Cesar De La Rosa as a permanent member and classified him as a tenor/baritone. So, I don't know if they're still looking for another permanent member or if they're just going to go with the four plus keep doing the rotating guest thing for now.
Also starting with COVID in 2020, Geoff is putting solo vids up on his own YT channel. He has maybe 15 or 20 so far. Almost all of them are just his own voice, multitracked. Be prepared. Well, you can't really be prepared. And he has some vids describing how he developed his growl, fry and subharmonic techniques.
On VP's "Halo" vid, Scott Porter comes back as a special guest. Be sure to watch his commentary after the music. It's a tribute thing. Also, you'll hear Geoff do a B0 note. That's the second-lowest white key on a standard piano.
Voiceplay does mostly theatrical sort of stuff. They're very much into music that goes with plays and stage performances. Geoff Castalucci (Jeff Casta-loo-chee) is their bass, possibly the lowest in the current au capella scene on UA-cam. They frequently have guest singers so their group comes and goes a lot in members and numbers.
