You guys should check out Geoff doing Way Down. It's great and shows off his comedic side more than the ones you've watched so far. I love Geoff's music, but what really made me love him the most is how he doesn't take himself too seriously. He's definitely not afraid to laugh at himself which I think keeps him grounded.
This was my introduction to Geoff as a solo artist. I remember reading, "Low Bass Cover", and thinking, "What the hell does THAT even mean?" Well, Geoff started singing, and I discovered just what a "low bass cover" meant. And I was hooked!
😂 I lol’d for real at that. Taught ya quick, eh?
That's the damn truth!
Mine was ain't no sunshine.
Geoff often interacts with the Geoffettes in the videos. It's captivating.
Oh no, these are four different people! 😉 Geoff, Goff, Jeff, and Daryll. I'm convinced he's an alien.
Daryl didn’t show up until later. This is Geoff, Goff, Jeff, and Jeoph. 😂
I don't think Geoff meant to disrespect Tennessee Ernie. He just doesn't know how _not_ to be inhumanly awesome. 😆
Even more when you realize, in his interview with Peter Barber, he recommended listening to Tennessee Ernie Ford when asked to recommend gospel basses.
A friend posted this to my Facebook page because she knew I liked the bass voice. I was hooked immediately, found Voiceplay, got hooked there, too.
Kathy, his wife, is production manager for him and Voiceplay. Frequently on his solo stuff, including this one, it is just the two of them.
I will always be here for them.
Yes, it is basically his wife, Kathy, and himself doing all of this. He has asked fellow VoicePlay member Eli to do lighting for him on occasion, and VP beatboxer Layne and former VP member Tony Wakim have done some camerawork for him and he enlists makeup artists when needed for the more elaborate makeup, but other than that it is him and Kathy doing everything, including the editing together of the video. I think you will love his latest video, which is about to drop. They drove hours from home to film that one in a 'special' location, and the guy who was renting it out to them let them in and wondered when "the rest of your crew" was coming, and was amazed that there was no one else coming, they were going to be filming it just by themselves.
What's the new drop?!
@@Ogre_Smash Folsom Prison Blues

FOLSON PRISON BLUES. Filmed it in a real prison.
Thank you for recognizing Geoff's wife Kathy & giving her credit for all her work with Geoff & the group. Not many people do. To hear one of the most beautiful covers Geoff does is Shenandoah. His range & harmonies with himself are so beautiful. Please do a reaction to Geoff's cover.
Can you guys do his Rains of Castamere video?
Its from Game of Thrones.
Also his Way Down by Elvis Presley. He gets down to a C1.
Also....
Geoff will be releasing his new video this Saturday, August 5th. He rented a whole freaking prison for this one.
Voiceplay will probably release their new video next Friday, August 11th.
Make sure you watch to the very end. They have a little surprise after a brief pause.
What's better than 4 drunken sailors? 6 drunken sailors of course. This one is alot of fun.
Geoff and Kathy have a video here where they talk about her profound deafness now. You would think it a bit depressing, but it's not. Both of them bring out the best in each other and it's a joy to watch. She and Geoff were working in the theme parks as singers, married and shortly thereafter began to lose her hearing. She has become Geoff's manager as well as VoicePlay's. He did Shenandoah for her and High and Dry for himself (both soloes). She was in VPs Golden Hour and in Till Then (solo). So, while not singing, she does make a couple of appearances. You might like one of the old VP videos - Daddy Sang Bass. I grew up on the Tennessee Ernie Ford version - Geoff did him proud. I'm sure you'd also enjoy Big Bad John (Jimmy Dean) by Geoff. Blackbird is beautiful another not to miss.
Thanks for the info and suggestions. we will be adding to the list!
I believe that this was the first one Geoff did in this format, by cloning himself this way. Since then he's done quite a few, including naming his clones and dressing them differently. It's a lot of work of course but it's such fun. In this his wife Kathy was setting up the camera, she still often does , as in his latest due out soon. It was just the two of them. In some more elaborate ones he gets help from other VP members, such as Eli doing the lighting, Layne and Toni Wakim, (ex memver) doing camera work and production. I urge you to watch VoicePlay's mini of Peaches, to hear Geoff being toally insane. And hitting a real high note. Not sure what he had to do to get up there. :)
He has had clones since his first video
@@laundrygoddess4 I don't really count the ones with just heads as clones. But it's arguable.
@@christinestromberg4057 his second singing solo video was blackbird. Clones were in there
@@laundrygoddess4 Was that his second ? Ok. I take your point.
What gets me on this one is the glorious, well-rounded tone of his voice here.
He just keeps getting better and better ❤🏴
Came back to watch again. You were talking about this being his passion. He didn't do solo work until Covid shut the world down. Voiceplay had to stop touring, so he had some time on his hands. The fact that he does all of this himself (mostly) is amazing, while still doing half the arrangements and videos for Voiceplay. And Voiceplay is performing with Chicago in November, so preparing for that.
And doing a Halloween thing for Pattycake Productions, the company that Layne Stein, Voiceplay's beatboxer and Tony Wakim, their former baritone, own. And he has a six year old. He's a busy, busy man!
This is the video that started me down the rabbit hole of Geoff then onto VoicePlay. Geoff and his wife Kathy videoed this all by themselves in just one day. Geoff has also named his clones. L to R Goff, Jeff, Geoff, and Jeoph in other videos you will meet clone, Daryl. I love this song as a child and heard Tennessee Ernie Ford sing it on his TV show. Yes, I am that old. Geoff also did a cover of Jimmy Dean's Big Bad John.
Geoff and Tim Foust from Home Free both have such impressive ranges.
The tools all came from hus Dad's shed and get to be reused in various different songs.
It seems so simple, them you thing how much time it would take and it's amazing he put so much work into it.
Geoff didn't think it was going to be as popular as it became, still one of my top 5 Geoff songs. The shaking camera effect on this one was an accident. I'm glad he decided to leave it in.
😅 how many times you hear Geoff, he will always manage to surprise you, somehow.
Being a bass singer myself, his lows never surprise me... it's his insane agility. Other 5+ octave and low basses exist; very few can bounce around their range the way he does. Truthfully, Geoff surprises everyone for different reasons.
Around 1969 I had the pleasure of being a page in the Tennessee state legislature. Part of my duties were to run the mics (turn them off and on and adjust volume for the members. As such, I spent quite a bit of time on the podium.
Ernie came and sang this song at the opening session. Every single possible seat was taken. Galleries were overflowing. He did the whole thing acapella. With just the audience snapping their fingers for accompaniment.
I'll never forget about half way through Ernie looked up in the gallery and said "Lady, it works better if you take off your gloves when you snap your fingers." He never broke the cadence of the song...
I almost fell off the podium laughing.
That is amazing!
"Sixteen Tons" is was written by Merle Travis in the 40s and picked up eventually by "Tennessee" Ernie Ford ten years later. He made it popular because he was on television with his version.
You guys should try some of Voiceplay's older LIVE versions of some songs... Like "Elvira", where he will give you a nice surprise in terms of notes. 😁
Great reaction, thanks! You should listen to his version of Elvis' Way Down. It's pretty funny, and it's the song that led to Geoff giving his alter egos names.
Big Bad John just great too
I love how speechless you all get! 😅
You guys are hilarious! So glad that I found you. You showed up on the right side of the video I was watching and Jersey John drew me in. He is the spitting image (minus the ink) of my husband. Facial hair and all. I cannot wait to show him this. I subscribed! 😂 Those 4 Geoffs all have names now...Geoff, Jeff, Jef (unsure of that last spelling), and Daryl. LOL
Love Geoff's solo stuff! Great reaction guys! Keep em coming!
More to come!
I love you guys. Try ain't no sunshine when she gone.
Y’all need to check his cover of Man of Constant Sorrow. Five parts. Also, let that one run past the credits. There’s an amusing commentary there.
And the videos are usually one day shoots.
And if you haven’t done Sound of Silence yet…you need to.
That Tenner was perfect! And the base was out of this world! But the harmonies! Just Wow! but I think the guy in the tank top was the best!
Tennessee Ernie Ford made it famous in 1955, but it's not his song. Written and first recorded by Merle Travis in 1946 (released 1947). The original was 2:54, Ford's version was 2:34. They're all good, but I have to go with Geoff's as my favorite.
Love the improved sound from you guys.
Thank you! We're still trying to improve the product.
Sing along boys!
You have idea how badly I wanted to, Lane! This is my warmup song for karaoke! I know it inside out!
@@Ogre_Smash ya'll do a barbershop quartet sometime maybe.
@@lanetatom2701 check out our kings return video. That's close
Hi from the UK 👋 🇬🇧 something you might like to check out the band is called Nightwish it's a symphonic metal band from Finland 🇫🇮 with a Dutch singer floor jansen ( the vakyrie) This band has a massive following in Europe and the Internet the go to song to start your Nightwish journey down the rabbit hole that is Nightwish
Nightwish ghost love score wacken open air concert 2013
And prepare for the Nightwish army arriving at the door 🚪 lol 😊
We tried to review Nightwish and got copywrited so unfortunately no more..we will take any other suggestions though
Geoff said in an interview that is voice actually at it's best in the middle of the afternoon.
Always thought it was early morning. Because, that's where your voice is far more relaxed than through the day. So, I thought he would have better quality on his voice.
Way Down. House of the Rising Son. Country Road. Big John. And most recently - Folsom Prison Blues.
Can I suggest "The Two Cello's playing Thunderstruck". Completely unrelated to Geoff Castellucci, but something flashed it into my mind as so ething you might enjoy.
They are awesome! Not sure how to pull of a react video for them, though. We're going to try to figure out a way, though.
It's worth mentioning that this song was done all in Geoff's chest notes. None of the low bass notes employ him doing subharmonic techniques. (Though thinking about it, I don't think any of the notes are actually on the subharmonic range, but still, to be able to sing the low bass notes he does while still being in chest voice is impressive.)
Should look into Tim Foust "would you still love me tomorrow"
I second this! Tim's version of that song is amazing!
Oogie boogie song he does like 4 octaves in 2, 3 lines
That one is already on the list!
I think you´d like Big bad John.
