Love VoicePlay....if you love Geoff's bass,you should listen to Oogie Boogie's song. You can really hear his range. He also has been doing some solo covers that are wonderful. Love them all 🥰
Other great Geoff songs are his covers of Sixteen Tons and Aint no Sunshine, and pretty much anything he does on his personal channel. The man has a golden voice, like GRRM describes Dareon "honey poured over thunder".
I'm guessing you are going to love both Dragonborn Comes and Hoist the Colors... the vocals are stunning
Eli rhymes with belly. 🙂 He's an amazing rock tenor, but also sings baritone and even bass, and also works as a voice actor outside of the group, and is responsible for the lighting design in their videos as well as creating a lot of the 3D background images in their videos, and on occasion he does some arrangements as well.
Geoff (Jeff) is the bass, he can also sing baritone and tenor, he can beatbox, he is one of 2 main arrangers in the group, and he also has a very successful solo channel.
Layne is the beatboxer, he can also sing tenor, baritone and bass, he is one of 2 main arrangers in the group, and runs a video production studio with a former VoicePlay member.
Cesar (see-sir) is the baritenor and the newest member of the group, and performs on multiple stages in the Orlando area outside of VoicePlay 🙂
occasionally Layne plays the violin too! these guys left "staying in your lane" behind ages ago.
Wow these guys are good..never heard of them ..the guy with the deep voice oh my goodness
If you're a gamer you need to check out the Dragonborn Comes and then you also need to check out their cover of if I were rich man/girl and also check out Geoff Castellucci he's the bass, his cover of Far Over the Misty Mountains Cold.
@@n3v3r.MoR3.84 Gamers (and everyone else!) should also check out their version of the Halo theme.
@@Badger77722 not a gamer and I LOVE that one.
I love these guys so much. They’re theater kids so all of their stuff is sooooo creative. Eli, the bald one, could TOTALLY front a metal band. They’re all massively talented. Geoff’s range....omg... Check out Oogie Boogie’s Song and Hoist The Colours. Crazy good stuff!
He was in a couple of different rock bands before joining Voiceplay.
Please react to their cover of "Hoist the Colors." You won't be disappointed. And Ely shows off his highs, while Geoff blows the bottom out of the lows. One of my faves of theirs.
As others have mentioned, Voiceplay's release next week is simply mind blowing. I am obsessed with it and I didn't even know the original song (you probably will). Definitely also have to check out Dream On and Carry On Wayward Son.
I’m in my 70s so I didn’t listen to a lot of the music that they’re covering now. And I’m not much of a metal fan because I just find the instrumentals too loud, but I absolutely love their covers. They’ve introduced me to so many new groups and songs which I have bypassed before.
Tomorrow's release is EPIC. I can't wait to see UA-cam explode.
@DT A I know! So excited to see this song set free.
Geoff Castellucci is the bass. He has his own solo channel I think you'll like.
When you mentioned flex the first thing I thought was "just wait, you haven't heard the bass yet!" He went from the depths of the earth to the very edge of Earth's atmosphere in what I perceived as a vocal bombing run!
Obviously I love these guys.
"...vocal bombing run." 🤣🤣🤣 What an apt description! Geoff does similar bombing runs in Little Mermaid Medley, Hoist the Colors, and Queen in Five Minutes.
I cannot wait for him to watch one of the Geoff Forward songs like Oogie B, Dragonborne, or Mother Told me.
Love me some VoicePlay! I hope you check out AleXa's stuff as well sometime since she's pretty gosh darn awesome! Also deep voice dude ain't right LOL!
Gotta love Voiceplay. Their Skyrim cover is one of their most insane, and features a lot of Geoff (the bass)
Thank you for another priceless reaction to Voice Play ❤️ Please do a reaction video of Voice Plays cover Dream On originally by Aerosmith. Voice Play knocks this one out of the ball park. You will absolutely love it ❤️Cesar, the guy with the big hair sings the high note at the end. Pay particular attention to the end as Cesar goes high Geoff goes low.
These guys are by far my favorite of the acapella groups. Definitely check out their collaboration with Omar Cardona of Aerosmith's 'dream on' - it is different but amazing, 'hoist the colors' from pirates of the Caribbean is my favorite of the more theatrical covers and 'boy bands in 5 mins' is great for a good giggle and to get a better appreciation of their ability to transition, this last one is older so there are 2 previous band members who are AMAZING also. Happy listening :)
I'm a big fan of all 3 big acapella groups (PTX, Home Free and VoicePlay), but VP is my favorite. They do almost everything themselves ... arranging, filming, editing, lighting, etc. They do use a great audio mixer, and occasionally a pro makeup artist for their more elaborate visuals. They are so unique and creative, and every voice is phenomenal.
Great reaction, subscribed in anticipation of more. Try their covers of Warriors, Dream On, and Carry On Wayward Son. They have one that will be released on Jan 13th that will knock your socks off, guaranteed!
For live work, they have a series of ACA 10 pieces, ie. top 13 movies themes, game themes, cartoon themes, disney hero themes, etc.
I agree the next one coming out is an absolute masterpiece.
@@lasmith1929 I can't wait till I can put it in my playlist rotation!
This was an incredible performance by VoicePlay as usual. One you should check out from them is We Don’t talk about Bruno.
Welcome to Voiceplay! Big Voiceplaya here. My favorite by them is “Hoist The Colors.” I subscribed because I loved your appreciation of the group!
So many to choose from. They do a great version of "Dream On" and "Warrior" also. They are all amazingly talented. Enjoy the ride😎
Great reaction! People often get so caught up in Geoff’s bass line (because he slays it), that Eli (EL ee-bald guy), Layne (vocal perc), and Cesar (the hair!) don’t get the recognition they deserve. These guys are all genius. Honestly any song you pick by these guys is going to be amazing.
Love this one. Eli's name is pronounced "EL-ee," and he is great. For amazing full-band sounds from VoicePlay, I highly recommend their covers of Kansas' "Carry on my Wayward Son" ua-cam.com/video/evG28VVz4dY/v-deo.html and Imagine Dragons' "Warriors" ua-cam.com/video/DNh6_XubM2A/v-deo.html Pretty sure your socks will fly off.
its spelled just like mine but mine is pronounced "ee-lie" its funny because he has an opposite range of mine, I am a low baritone. I can get real low (D2 chest normally, sometimes down to A1, A0 growl, D1 chest fry, B0 subharmonic, F0 fry) but my highest falsetto note is only like a G5 on a good day. I am not a natural bass but I am most comfortable between E2 and F4 I would say.
@@upsidedownpyramid7617
Eli's is short Eliezer. That's why it's pronounced that way.
Great reaction, loved it. 🙂
If you want to really enjoy Geoff's bass voice, AND you're a gamer, there's a number of possible suggestions: "My Mother Told Me" (Assassins creed V - Vikings), "The Dragonborn comes" (Skyrim), "Halo Theme" (well, from Halo 😁), praised even by the author of the score himself and having a long explanation of the reasons behind the video at the end that is TOTALLY worth the while... And others, I believe also "Warriors" (another Imagine Dragons cover, in which Wayne and J None play violin and they're great), comes from some game.
And if you aren't a gamer, well, "Hoist the Colours" is a must, IMHO. 🙂
But you can't miss with them ❤.
Also, Geoff Castellucci, the bass singer, has a solo channel in which he does incredible "Low Bass singer covers", beginning from "Far over the Misty Mountains cold" (from The Hobbit) to "Ain't no sunshine" (Bill Withers) to grant classics like "Blackbird" (Beatles) or "House of the Raising Sun" and may others. 🙂
Don't forget the Halo theme
I DID mention it... 😉
Right after The Dragonborn Comes. 🙂
It's one of my favourites, also because of the final explanation by Scott Porter... Such a beautiful tribute. 🙂
My girl AleXa 😁 I was so happy she got to do this with them! Really cool
Almost all Voiceplay covers are absolutely amazing. We would all love to see more reactions to them! [Also, I would highly recommend getting headphones or earbuds {Headphones would be better (Should do research before getting headphones however, need ones that can really let you hear the bass)}] I think you would especially like Carry on my Wayward Son and another Imagine Dragons, Warriors
Yeah, otherwise Geoff goes so low that you lose him. I have a pretty good set, but the lowest ones like Halo it only covers the upper ranges, and makes the rest into a flat.
Yeah, Geoff's lows are impressive, but what impressive me most is his range. He can sing so high too!.
I'm a 54, mother of two, never played Halo my self, just know it from my son's, but Voice play's redition is my favorite songs of theirs. Please check their Halo theme out!
Alexa was in South Korea filming her part of this while the guys were in Orlando Florida where they live. She sent them the film and Layne added her to the video.
They did the same with their last Halloween video "Hide and Seek (Ding Dong)". Lauren Paley was in Nashville TN. Layne flew there to film her then added her to the video. That one is really good. The theme is The Haunted Mansion at Disney. They dress up as characters from the ride. Makeup, costumes, settings, everything.
They are known as both The Theater Kids and The Kings of Halloween because their love of dressing up and performing.
In The Hall Of The Mountain King is another awesome video. They dress up there as well. The music piece comes from an orchestra. It's amazing what they do with it. Lots of bass in that one.
You said you want to see it live? AleXa wasn't even in the same country, she mailed her video and audio tracks in from South Korea!!
Just about anything is recommended to listen/react to when it comes to VoicePlay, so I will automatically second any song other commenters highlight. They haven't had many misses because they take what they put out seriously, even though they can be a bit silly (carrots, anyone?) so you really can't go wrong with any selection. They have a few clips of live performances fans have put up over the years so I can recommend "The Chicken Song" and their "Road Trip" skit from the Sing-Off Tour to give you a feel for their humor.
Others have also mentioned that Geoff has a solo channel where he does low bass covers of several genres of music, with the accompaniment of keyboard and/or plugins, I'd start off with "Ghost Riders in the Sky" and Elvis's "Way Down" to get a taste there. Interesting tid-bit is that he does all the backing vocals himself so you can hear the connectedness of his full range.
Layne (percussion) also has a separate channel with a former member of VP, Tony Wakim, where they do serials and one offs of Disney material, Horror music videos, and so on. It's very entertaining and has original music and great set work and costuming.
Whichever path down the rabbit hole you take, know they have a tight fan-base who support many of the reactors/analyzers who regularly post their releases.
It’s Eli (to rhyme with jelly), short for Eliezer (el-Lee-AY-zer)(the second son of Moses). Eli probably has the most versatile voice although Geoff (bass) and Layne (beatboxer) have wider ranges (5octaves), but not by much. Eli has fronted a number of rock bands and also worked (works?) as a voice actor.
For that reason, check out Hoist the Colours from Pirates 3 - probably still my favorite of theirs. Another good one is Carry on Wayward Son. For high notes, Dream On, Dragonborn/Skyrim and Superstition come to mind.
They did a viking full production for Valhalla calling
Also, pentatonix did collaboration with Lindsey sterling on imagine dragons Radioactive
Keep an eye on thier channel. The new one that's about to drop will blow your mind
Great channel!!! really enjoy it. You got to check out Voiceplay HOIST THE COLORS....Eli is amazing and Geoff is out of this world.
Alexa, born in Oklahoma, asked if she could perform with them but Covid restrictions kept her home so she did her part from South Korea where she lives and sent it in. Eli is also a computer whiz (also did the backgrounds for My Mother Told Me) and merged her part into the whole. Earlier Alexa had won Best American Song so she is definitely credentialed. Some others you might enjoy are Warriors (do first Imagine Dragons), then Dream On (Aerosmith) Geoff calls this one Warriors 2. Also Tennesee Whiskey, Carry On My Wayward Son, We're Good and It Ain't Me. Geoff's just wonderful no matter what he sings, try Blackbird (Beatles), High and Dry (Radiohead), and Ain't No Sunshine (Bill Withers). If you want one recorded but done live, see their comedy routine, Road Trip from the days of The Sing-Off. Make sure you get the one with 9 million views. It's over that now - still going up. From the Sing-Off as well is Play That Funky Music with Honey Rochelle.
love your reaction, especially when Geoff went up! yes, Goeff has a crazy range - like 5 octaves. And Eli used to sing rock before joining voiceplay so he has a bit of the fry technique down. just a note - if your bass speakers aren't awesome and you aren't wearing headphones, you are still missing half of this music. There is a lot more bass going on than just the dramatic ones we hear in the pauses between others. I was blown away when I switched to headphones.
And also re:bass......that's not even his lowest note. Trust me, your teeth will start vibrating. Little Mermaid medley has (I think) his highest, and immediately follows it with a 5 octave slide to the basement.
Great reaction! Thanks ❤️ Much Love! #Hangovergang #Voice Play
As a gamer dude, I think you'll really enjoy Dragonborn Comes from Skyrim, The Halo Theme (Geoff's lowest recorded note, he hits B0 more than once), My Mother Told Me from Assassin's Creed, and just for kicks, the ACA Top 10 Video Games.
VoicePlay lineup has changed over the years. Tony Wakim, their baritone, quit performing to run PattyCake Productions with Layne, the beatboxer, in 2016. VP and Geoff Castellucci film a lot of their videos at Pattycake. They brought in J. None for a few years but he left when he was recruited to sing for the Navy, though he's done several videos with them while home on leave. Their sky-high tenor, Earl, left in 2020. They brought in Cesar (see-sir) as bari/tenor. Historically VoicePlay has been an all-male quintet with frequent collaborators. In their current quartet line-up, they effectively have four tenors, four baritones, and at least two basses and two beatboxers. With his vocal effects, technically Layne the beatboxer has the highest and lowest range, but for singing range I think Geoff has him beat with access to about five octaves. You can date VoicePlay videos by the group lineup and the length of Geoff's hair.
As others have said, Layne and Geoff take turns arranging most of their songs, and whoever arranges also takes lead on producing the video. They don't have a producer, manager, or production team -- they do it all themselves, with help from Geoff's wife Kathy as production manager. Being from Orlando and having performed at various theme parks over the years, they have earned their nickname "theater kids of a capella."
They're all good, but some of the more epic videos are Hoist the Colors, Oogie Boogie's Song, We Don't Talk About Bruno, In the Hall of the Mountain King, Dream On, Butter (for goofy fun), and Queen in Five Minutes. And they dance in Boy Bands Medley. Their ACA Top 10 videos were recorded live in a studio, but I think their only professionally recorded performances with an audience is Road Trip and Survivor: Zombies vs Hillbillies (a duet with Home Free), both from The Sing-Off tour. There's a decent audience-recorded version of Elvira from January 2020, and The Chicken Song in MN in 2014. Those two show off their sense of humor as well as vocals. To dip your toe in Geoff's solo channel, try Ghost Riders in the Sky or Misty Mountains Cold.
Geoff’s vocal range is just yes.
Voiceplay live stuff you can find by looking up the TV show the sing off a shoe that literally brought pentatonix home free and voiceplay to the world in different seasons
Here is a classic Rock Anthem from Voice Play that shows off Eli's rocker style voice. All the others kick in with crazy awesome bits. DREAM ON - ua-cam.com/video/SEz9VFmvG_I/v-deo.html
Eli (Ellie) Jacobson. Geoff Castellucci is the bass who also has his own channel where is does LOW BASS covers.
The one of theirs to check out live, honestly, is Road Trip. It's more of a skit than a song, but there's a significant amount of singing in it nonetheless.
Or there's always the Chicken Song.
Play more VoicePlay! 💜💜💜
I think you would really like their cover of Dream On by Aerosmith. It’s awesome
I think you'd definitely like they're version of "Carry On Wayward Son" with Omar Cardona. Also, if you like metal, you're definitely gonna want to hear the one that will be released soon. I don't want to spoil anything, but it's crazy!
I still recommend from Geoff Castellucci "Blackbird" so freaking amazing, high and low 👏👏👏❤️🙏
keep an eye on their channel this Friday. 🤯🤯🤯
Great reaction! Like other commenters have said, you'd love Dream On and Hoist the Colours. And the new video dropping tomorrow is not to be missed!
Check out Geoff Castelluci on line. As he has such a range, he does all the singing.
Your reaction to Running Up That Hill is a month old, so: Go forth and listen to/react to "We Don't Talk About Bruno" and be sure to keep an eye on Layne, his expressions are hilarious.
Yes Geoff can g0 low and go high too. AleXa was filmed and recorded in South Korea and added in later, having approached the group to sing this with them. So that would be a bit difficult live I guess, although if she was on a sceen behing them it could work . I think they did something similar with their Oogie Boogie Song.
Eli, the bald guy, spent 2 years on the road with a rock band. He is a legend.
The bald dude just goes by Eli, which is pronounced "EL-EE", rhyming with jelly.
The bass can sing in 5 octaves
You should check out their Wicked medley. Absolutely incredible. Geoff with the bass is absolutely chefs kiss.
I enjoy watching the reaction on faces when they hear the ranges of these lads.. So glad you picked up on Geoff's slide from the basement to the attic.. Eli( like jelly), used to sing in a rock band before joining voiceplay.. A couple of years ago, there was a high tenor in the group called Earl... He left for personal reasons and since then we have heard Eli taking on the higher notes... He smashes it every time. Have you heard dream on? Eli was made for that cover... I have to say that as a 70s-80s metal fan.... I actually prefer to listen to VP....(don't shoot me). Maybe as a bit of fun, you should listen to their version of Elvira. It's live and old.. Sound quality isn't fantastic but their performance is. It has the older line up including Earl...
I’m not a metal fan generally either simply because I find instrumentals too overpowering. Besides that I’m really old. But I absolutely love the covers of the songs, and have actually found that I like some of the work that these bands did in the past. Ones that I didn’t listen to but they made me take a second look. The one that’s coming out Friday is one of my all-time favorites, and I never would have listened to the original before!
@@janetdw it's a wonder I can still hear with the amount of rock concerts I've been to.. I've had the original of Friday's release on my playlist since it came out..... Might have a tough decision to make about which version to keep.. Vps version is more modern... Hmm! Going to have to wait and see.
@@allisoncameron-dicker2737 I vote for both. I listened to the original and though too metal for me now, I probably would have loved it in my wild mis-spent youth. It’s a great song.
@@janetdw 🤣🤣very diplomatic.. I was thinking about whether my youth was mis spent.. Yep! It def was. 🤣
If you think that was deep, wait until you hear him hit the sub harmonics in other video. Geoff rocks when he hits below the deepest Bass. 😊
Dude wait to you hear them sing Aerosmith song "Dream On". I'll be looking forward to it.
LOVING your reactions, you had me at BabyMetal and now I love seeing you get into VoicePlay. PLEASE react to their newest video, I would really love to hear what you think.
Great reaction!
You should check out Geoff Castellucci'd bass solos, they are insane! Love voiceplay ❤
You need to react to their latest drop - Metallica’s “Nothing Else Matters”. And if you want to have the bass singer blow your mind, find “Hoist The Colors”. Right after the bridge he does an upward slide from one end of his range to the other. He goes all the way up into Eli’s territory. (Bald dude goes by Eli, pronounced as el-EE)
Don’t know if this was covered for you yet, but the rest are
Geoff Castellucci (bass)
Layne Stein (beatboxer)
and Cesar DeLaRosa.
Geoff and Layne do most of their arrangements.
DO NO WAIT until Halloween to do Oogie Boogie song! You are in for treats!
Most of their live stage performances are sadly recorded with bad audio equipment by the audience, so they don't sound very good. But they have recorded live performances themselves and posted on their channel called "Aca Top 10" which are medleys recorded live in front of the camera instead of separately in studio. A good one to start with is Aca Top 10 Disney Villains 🙂
@@janetdw The minis are probably a mix of studio and live.
I think the value of watching their live stage performances is more in the stage antics and interaction with the audience (marshmallow fight anyone?),so we give a little bit of a pass on the audio quality. We know how great they sound so it's no big deal.
@@janetdw the mini's are not done live. the audio is recorded beforehand, the video after. the video part may need multiple takes due to shenanigans, but the audio is recorded beforehand. only the ACA Top 10's and a few very old videos from many years ago were recorded live.
@@huldradraco Thanks for the info. I’ll delete my comments. I saw the ones that they recorded with their phones and jumped to conclusions. I swear I saw some with the recording equipment in the shots- they were pretty old.
@@janetdw yeh, outside of their ACA Top 10's, you need to go like 9 years back before you find any of their live recordings 🙂
@@huldradraco yes - which is part of why I love the ACA top 10s and hope more like that will come. their old Grim Grinning Ghosts live was just awesome and fun. Simple, but shows their skills. Someone told me Stay With Me was, too? Not sure because it sounded studio to me, but it could have been. Somewhere way back when they did Stay with Me live on a news channel. not sure where that is, though.
I don’t know how to pronounce Eliezer either, but he goes by Eli, so don’t worry 😊. VoicePlayis great!
VoicePlay's videos are awesome, especially if you're into theatrics. I thoroughly enjoy watching them when they come out with something new. The only thing that I struggle with is that I have yet to find a video where they sound great live. All superb vocalists on their own but not my favorite when it comes to a capella blending, which is what I'm drawn to in groups like these. Will that keep me from enjoying their videos and music? Heck no! Always so creative.
Check out their newly released mini “Chili’s Baby Back Ribs” or something like that, I think that one’s live (but not with audience), they filmed it on a parking lot.
There isn't anything they can't do. The next one is out on Patreon and should drop soon and you HAVE to hear it. I would've said it couldn't be done in a cappella but hey, VoicePlay. I would suggest you listen to Dragonborn and Hoist the Colors too.
You've got to do dream on
That part where Eli went high, Alexa went higher, and you said was followed by the bass? That was the beat boxer, not the bass.
Listening order for greatest impact:
Oogie Boogie Song
Hoist the colors
My mother told me
Wanna really blow your mind? Alexa isn't even in the same continent as the guys! Lock down found her in Korea, with the band based in Florida, half a world away! Eli, the tenor, is noted for his "metal" voice. Geoff, the bass, has surprising range of the better part of 5 octaves!
I agree if you Oogie boogie should be one of your next ones you listen too. They have so many awesome videos old and new.
Eli

VoicePlay Metallica cover Nothing Else Matters if you haven't already
ELI... sounds like "L" E
Voice Play does a live performance of.. Made You Look. It was done in the Mall after hours. It is awesome. Please react to that one too. It is a short about 1 minute long. But please do Dream On by Voice Play first, please ❤️
Their minis and their ACA top tens are done live - though they sometimes need multiple attempts since they have so much fun with them.
