Thanks for watching everyone! I'm consistently humbled by the kindness and support you guys show me and to VoicePlay. You're the best. Stay safe out there and keep smiling!
Freaking amazing Geoff! Thank you for this. One of my best friends is a huge fan of yours and is geeking out for this vid! He is getting really good at vocal fry and is working on approximating your range :)
Jamie Milbourne hahah, he does that through a technique called subharmonics, it gets your note an octave lower Edit: Ya, he can do it in chest too, but the subharmonic technique helps too! Sorry for the confusion guys!
Just like when he was in toxic audio and they covered Grace Kelly. He hit high notes at the end after singing bass notes throughout the rest of the song
@@amber-yj1gm At first I was surprised by Geoff's high notes in this and then said outloud to nobody, "but he did do those high notes in Grace Kelly"... I just forgot since that was so long ago. Lol!
Now i cant speak for everyone, but i can pretty confidently say that we all want a full cover of Be prepared Edit: and any Thurl Ravenscroft song would be *T H I C C*
Not only does Geoff sing pitch perfect across a unbelievable vocal range, but his rhythm and sense of timing is impeccable. He really makes this old classic swing. What an artist 😊
One thing that I find amazing about him is all of his songs, his whole range, is so effortless. He doesn't strain to hit any super high nor any extremely low notes. It all has a gentle, relaxing sound.
2:34 Funny detail! When he hits the low g you can see by his right shoulder that he puts his hand down and forward as he always does when he sings low. You can tell here without seeing his hand lol
Sophia Prost, yes, you can, but you have to unlike it 19 times in between them, and it’ll still only end up with one like from you. But if it makes you feel better, go for it!
A common choir joke I remember was that basses made the best tenors. It's obviously more to fuck with tenors but there is a slight truth behind the fact that basses tend to have SUPER strong and controlled falsettos. Always loved basses in their head voice
Seriously! When I was a small child, a pediatrician thought that I’d be a low bass-a Bass 2. When I finally sang choir 40 years later, the director put me as a Tenor 1.
I discovered this man and his voice when I was searching for the poem Jabberwocky by Lewis Carrol. He did such a good reading that I searched for more and then more and now I am a huge fan!
I think a Disney villain cover would be great. Be Prepared, Hellfire, or Friends on the Other Side would be fun. Or of course, a Thurl song. Love the chest G1’s, too :)
@@Marcell0Bass Funny you say that . I've been thinking for the past few months, how it would be if Geoff sang a Thurl song. I feel You're a mean one,Mr.Grinch is an awesome song quite popular, however the headless horseman is something that people never cover . Or even maybe an " Asleep in the deep ". Another funny thing, Thurl actually has sung bare necessities . Thurl's version was actually the original version for the Jungle Book ,but Walt Disney thought it and a few other songs were too dark for a kids movie , and removed those songs including replacing Thurl's with the version we know
It’s not a whole song but the ending of that’s what friends are for in The Jungle Book when Sheer Khan comes in with his big ole bass voice is one of my favorite Disney song moments
Hello Geoff. I love your incredible cover of SIXTEEN TONS written by my father, Merle Travis. Tennessee Ernie Ford made it the hit that brought the plight of coal miners to the world eye, but it is also a song that any person that feels they work hard without getting ahead can relate to. Your voice is just, wow! Thank you for sharing your talent. xo Merlene
Bless you and thank you and you’re family for the wonderful song! I’d hope to get some more acknowledgement on this. If you could perhaps make a video on the subject, that might be appreciated! Thank you
Oh course you're going to get some na-sayers. But if you are truly Merlene Travis, and your father wrote 16 tons... The one song that Tennessee Ernie Ford sang and made famous.....this Geoff Castelucci is the next best Singer. Try replacing Roy Clark for guitar player. Arms crossed, toes tapping, waiting impatiently.
haha, it can be hard to tell with Geoff! but his most natural range is the middle where his normal speaking voice is. which is baritone. if you listen to his Shenandoah song, the "second Geoff" has a whole verse in his most natural voice.
Those deep notes, though, how do you do it without killing your throat?! You really brought a smile to my face when I listened to it. Amazing work, Geoff! You sang the notes flawlessly. Have a great day, everyone, stay safe, and indoors! ❤️
I first heard this young man sing at my daughters house I was completely amazed didn’t want to move so I just set And stared and listened to such a voice that will touch your heart every time I hear him I stop and listen and he isn’t the only best He downright a very handsome young man I am blessed to get to hear and see him I
I cannot explain how eager i am to watch this. I simply love his talent and wish i can possess even a little bit of that talent. Geoff is by far the best bass vocalist in my opinion. I wish i could meet him in person and just hug him and tell him he is super-talented and to keep giving us the mindblowing vocals.❤️
Geoff:please be kind on the upper harmony Also Geoff: sings like an angel in the upper harmony We: love it btw, when everyone's waiting for the low notes I'm waiting for the high notes cuz we don't get to hear him sing high often😍

O..M..G...you are a near-doppelganger to the late great Phil Harris (aka Baloo in Jungle Book and Little John in Robin Hood). I think he was O'Malley the Alley Cat in "Aristocats," as well. Your voice would rock in "Everybody Wants to be a Cat!" You'd also sound awesome recording "You've Got a Friend in Me" from Toy Story. It's not my super-fave movie, but the song has a way of growing on a person. 😅
I'm so used to Geoff singing deeply that hearing the higher notes have me shook. I keep forgetting the sheer range of this man's voice. Amazement every time!
thank you very much for doing this version, I have been playing this song my son since he was in his mummys belly and now ihe is 14 months old and loves this version, its the only song that stop him crying and brings a smile to his little face! i am also a Bass/baritone singer and he loves it when I sing along ( would love to do a collab!!) he also love your other songs!! thanks and keep up the good work!!!!

hi geoff, i'm a 14 year old in iraq that's been over-bourdened by parent's "neccesities" of me getting new skills, me learning low-tone baritone from you has made me so much happier in life, just wanted to thank you :D
New skills are not necessary, BUT what i do recomend is to try different exercises if you like doing physical activity, like hand stands and such. All you need in a skill is to have fun with it. Don't let your parents decide what you like, my man. Cheers
@@gideone9802 hey there! its been 8 months and i've absolutley loved workouts and martial arts. I absolutley love you for this advice and will keep you in my heart kind human! I truly appreciate you! i hope you have the greatest life imaginable!!!! much love :D
Over a year later, and in 2021 the words of this song have more meaning to me than ever. A very belated thanks to Geoff for this song, it seriously makes me think about life on a different level.
I’ve been listening to that song for 20 minutes and I don’t I’ll stop, this is really great ! It made my day actually ☺️thank you for bringing so much joy Geoff !
Удивительный, уникальный голос. Великолепное a cappella! Спасибо большое, получила огромное удовльствие, слушая это талантливое исполнение.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
This song!! Every Swedish kid born around 60/70s knows this by heart - in Swedish!! We all know that lyrics!! I just recently heard the original lyrics..
What I like best is the part at 2:47 where it's about reducing life to its essentials. This would make a great motivational poster or t-shirt: When you find out you can live without it And go along not thinkin' 'bout it I'll tell you something true: The bare necessities of life will come to you!
Geoff...there are no word to explain the feelings when i am listening to your songs. You are amazing singer. You have the best, deep and soft, beautiful voice! I love it very much!!Thank you ❤
My late mother danced with me to this song. She passed 7 days after my Birthday in 2021. I was so small back then. This filled my heart with joy! I miss my mom bad now around this Christmas season. I'd like to buy this song if I can?
This brings back a wonderful memory of when my aunt brought my sister and I to watch this when it was first released. I can hear her singing her heart to this, she had a beautiful voice, and the children around us singing with her. She was a great aunty to have as she has a heart of gold and was a sweet natured woman even now as she's about to hit her 90th birthday. A bit late with my thank you for this but I so enjoyed hearing your voice and this song again.
That is, without any doubt, the very best version of this song I've ever heard. Incredible voice, awesome arrangements. Thank you Geoff for bringing back some child memories.
Geoff!!!!!! this is my FAVORITE Disney song. You Killed it sir. you alwayst do. I think my family is getting tired of Oggie Boogies song and Valhalla Calling. lol keep making music you alway make my day better. Thank you for sharing your insane talent with us. We are blessed to be able to hear you and all the members of Voiceplay! love you all!!!!!
I have always like quartets with a good bass singer like The Stamps, but Geoff is that, and a duet, trio, and quintet. And assuming he does his own editing, I can add video editor, audio editor, and hair dresser.
Thanks for watching everyone! I'm consistently humbled by the kindness and support you guys show me and to VoicePlay. You're the best. Stay safe out there and keep smiling!
This video the whole time had me at 😍 I JUST SOOO LOVE YOU'RE VOICE! And your pretty hair that deserves not to be cut!☺
This is wonderful!! Keep these coming
You should do a cover of autumn leaves
Freaking amazing Geoff! Thank you for this. One of my best friends is a huge fan of yours and is geeking out for this vid! He is getting really good at vocal fry and is working on approximating your range :)
You are are incredibly talented!!!
Geoff: I'm not a tenor
Also Geoff: killing the high note beautifully
Geoff: I'm not a bass
Also Geoff: G1
Jamie Milbourne hahah, he does that through a technique called subharmonics, it gets your note an octave lower
Edit: Ya, he can do it in chest too, but the subharmonic technique helps too! Sorry for the confusion guys!
Just like when he was in toxic audio and they covered Grace Kelly. He hit high notes at the end after singing bass notes throughout the rest of the song
@@sirploom nope, he hit a G1 and even an E1 in chest at some point
@@amber-yj1gm At first I was surprised by Geoff's high notes in this and then said outloud to nobody, "but he did do those high notes in Grace Kelly"...
I just forgot since that was so long ago. Lol!
Can we agree that if we hear him singing Hellfire would be AMAZING?
It would, but I'm not sure he'd cover it as it's kinda overdone at this point (plus there was a snippet of it in the Disney villain compilation)
Yes
YES!!!!! That would be awesome
Absolutely
I don’t even now what that song but it sound cool as hell so yes
His vocal range, is just out of this world.
I am getting addicted to hear his songs ❤😂❤
I’m a 60 year old grandmother of 24 and I’ve simply fallen in love with this man and his beautiful voice
Now i cant speak for everyone, but i can pretty confidently say that we all want a full cover of Be prepared
Edit: and any Thurl Ravenscroft song would be *T H I C C*
Yes absolutely, that’d be amazing
You speak for everyone with sanity, dear friend.
You speak for pretty much everyone, I hope Geoff does it soon, imagine him singing deep notes throughout the song!
Looks like you have to make another video of geoff hihi
Yes!
The only real necessity is this video

Hello Geoff. I love your incredible cover of SIXTEEN TONS written by my father, Merle Travis.

yea right?
Voiceplay has a cover of it. He has his parts

Big vocal cords. However pretty sure that G1 wasn't easy for him. That being said, the number of people who can hit that note is extremely less.
@@reubenmathew2902 I certainly can't lol. Some people are just an amazing mix of gifted and talented.

The same way strong people pick up heavy things

I found him through a vocal coach reaction video, and I'm just like 'yup, there's another hyperfixation'
Never before have I been so envious of a man's vocal range. Gosh, what an epic voice!
When he does the high-end quartet it proves that he has a 6+ octave range. He's amazing!
I think it’s just under 6 octaves
Marcello Bass either way that’s actually ridiculous. The only singers I know of with comparable ranges are Yma Sumac and Mariah Carey.
Umm.. maybe 5 octaves. 5 and a half octaves is between A0 and E6, top soprano note of POTO Aria
His actual range there is just about 4 octaves between G1 and G5
William Charles Longwell 3 G1-C5 in this song
I cannot explain how eager i am to watch this. I simply love his talent and wish i can possess even a little bit of that talent. Geoff is by far the best bass vocalist in my opinion.

Look for the bare necessities
The simple bare necessities
Forget about your worries and your strife
I mean the bare necessities

That bring the bare necessities of life
Wherever I wander
Wherever I roam

The bees are buzzin' in the tree
To make some honey just for me
When you look under the rocks and plants

And you prick a raw paw
Well, next time beware
Don't pick the prickly pear by the paw
When you pick a pear
Try to use the claw
But you don't need to use the claw
When you pick a pair of the big pawpaw
Have I given you a clue?
The bare necessities of life will come to you
They'll come to you!
Look for the bare necessities
The simple bare necessities
Forget about your worries and your strife

Right Brain: Red!
Left Brain: Great, just four more.
Right Brain: Orange!
Left Brain: Perfect, only three to go.
Right Brain: Green!
Left Brain: Great, two left.
Right Brain: Blue!
Left Brain: Amazing, what about the last one?
Right Brain: Blue!
Left Brain: We already have blue, how about like yellow, or purple!
Right Brain: Blue!
this is actually funny lol
It’s nice to hear someone who has a deep sound as well
3/1. PERFECTION. This is delightful to watch!
hi geoff, i'm a 14 year old in iraq that's been over-bourdened by parent's "neccesities" of me getting new skills, me learning low-tone baritone from you has made me so much happier in life, just wanted to thank you :D
New skills are not necessary, BUT what i do recomend is to try different exercises if you like doing physical activity, like hand stands and such. All you need in a skill is to have fun with it. Don't let your parents decide what you like, my man. Cheers
@@gideone9802 hey there! its been 8 months and i've absolutley loved workouts and martial arts. I absolutley love you for this advice and will keep you in my heart kind human! I truly appreciate you! i hope you have the greatest life imaginable!!!! much love :D
@@Rahandnt haha I'm glad you found it nice what I said, you have a nice life to man
Media: Endgame is the most ambitious crossover event in history
Geoff, Jeff, Goff, Joff and Jiff: we’re about to end this man’s whole career
Did you see the comment on geoff’s instagram post as well?
why do people keep saying "whole man's career" which makes no sense, when man's whole career is the correct one
Amaa .A no, what was it?
Edit: just saw it 😂
Rich Patootie true
@@patootie3529 - because proper grammar and sentencing is very frowned upon on the internet for some people.
Wh- this popped up in my recommended and I nearly fell off my chair when the song started- new sub!
Whatever song this man chooses to sing, he makes his own. And afterwards - nothing compares ....
Over a year later, and in 2021 the words of this song have more meaning to me than ever. A very belated thanks to Geoff for this song, it seriously makes me think about life on a different level.
The only problem with Geoff is that he stops singing when the song ends.
You hade me in the first half ngl
The problem is that the song stops.
I’ve been listening to that song for 20 minutes and I don’t I’ll stop, this is really great ! It made my day actually ☺️thank you for bringing so much joy Geoff !
Удивительный, уникальный голос. Великолепное a cappella! Спасибо большое, получила огромное удовльствие, слушая это талантливое исполнение.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
This song!!
Every Swedish kid born around 60/70s knows this by heart - in Swedish!!
We all know that lyrics!!
I just recently heard the original lyrics..
What I like best is the part at 2:47 where it's about reducing life to its essentials. This would make a great motivational poster or t-shirt:
When you find out you can live without it
And go along not thinkin' 'bout it
I'll tell you something true:
The bare necessities of life will come to you!
Man's voice is lower than my self-esteem
I AM THE ALMIGHTY 69TH LIKE
And his teeth are brighter than my future ...
@@mehurar XD
And higher than your hopes?
😂😂😂😂
and it's unbelievable how much of a record as the highs He has, and without a word, I love to watch you singing
Geoff...there are no word to explain the feelings when i am listening to your songs. You are amazing singer. You have the best, deep and soft, beautiful voice! I love it very much!!Thank you ❤
My late mother danced with me to this song. She passed 7 days after my Birthday in 2021. I was so small back then. This filled my heart with joy! I miss my mom bad now around this Christmas season. I'd like to buy this song if I can?
This brings back a wonderful memory of when my aunt brought my sister and I to watch this when it was first released. I can hear her singing her heart to this, she had a beautiful voice, and the children around us singing with her. She was a great aunty to have as she has a heart of gold and was a sweet natured woman even now as she's about to hit her 90th birthday. A bit late with my thank you for this but I so enjoyed hearing your voice and this song again.
That is, without any doubt, the very best version of this song I've ever heard.
Incredible voice, awesome arrangements.
Thank you Geoff for bringing back some child memories.
That'sit. I've melted. I'm just a puddle.
Hi puddle. I'm also a puddle
This is now 3rd one from Geoff in a row (just found him). Oh my...
That middle bit where you're moving your head in sync when singing is so adorable, I can't stop replaying it
Geoff!!!!!! this is my FAVORITE Disney song. You Killed it sir. you alwayst do. I think my family is getting tired of Oggie Boogies song and Valhalla Calling. lol keep making music you alway make my day better. Thank you for sharing your insane talent with us. We are blessed to be able to hear you and all the members of Voiceplay! love you all!!!!!
Holy cap, the vocal range is incredible!
Geoff: “I’m not a bass” Also Geoff: 2:18
Most satisfying G1's I've ever heard! Really great job!!
Ikr
You Marcello and Dan are everywhere lmao
In the intro he actually sounds like an organ. A big church organ. Amazing harmonies
1:29 This is the type of video which i'll come back to watch again and again.....Amazing
the best 👍💯 philosophical song 🎵 I've ever heard
2:21 😂 bear necessities... love it ❤ the rest of the song too of course 😉 amazing voice
I could see him playing Baloo for the remake of The Jungle Book, and not just for the songs
Look at this beautiful man... And his equally beautiful quintuplet brothers
What an amazing voice!
I have always like quartets with a good bass singer like The Stamps, but Geoff is that, and a duet, trio, and quintet. And assuming he does his own editing, I can add video editor, audio editor, and hair dresser.
You're precious...so talented...so beautiful.
And then, another masterpiece was born.
