      In fact, I have tried that on the oogie boogie out of curiosity right now and it is in fact true. Whenever the auto subtitles do pick up on the fact that there is text, they are astonishingly accurate.

    @aspiebbx 3 роки тому +386

    As far as I'm aware, the bass actually classes himself as a baritone with a bass range, jnone (the one who said your finished) is a baritone, Earl (the highest) is a definite tenor, as is eli the other one who is a lower tenor but still massive upper range. Also there are normally five but Earl left, and that last note was achieved through a subharmonic note, done by producing a pitch a fifth above your fundamental pitch with vocal fry combined with the fundamental producing the illusion of a note an octave lower, meaning his fundamental was an E2. Geoff (the bass) explains it better but that's the general gist, as does David larson. Hope this helps :)

      That wasn’t an E2 with the “illusion” of an E1, that WAS an E1! I don’t understand very well how subharmonics are produced, and I’m sure it does involve jumping an octave down from a starting note, but I heard that E1 frequency (~41 Hz) loud and clear!

    • @SanderTeunissen
      @SanderTeunissen 3 роки тому +24

      @@AllHailZeppelin You are right :) It's a technique where you produce a note (E2 in this case) and the false chords start vibrating an octave lower alongside it. I believe if you perfect it (like Geoff) you can use just your false chords to produce that note.

      @patheddles4004 3 роки тому +19

      @@AllHailZeppelin Not exactly. I'm not completely sure what he's actually doing for the E1 here, but the simple subharmonic technique for an E1 would be to sing E2 and B2 together. Ear hears the two tones together, brain parses them as overtones, brain hallucinates the missing fundamental frequency for the E1 that it's hearing.
      We can't actually hear the difference, but I have friends who use spectral analysis to figure it out.

    Welcome to Voiceplay!
    The members of the group -- in this video at least -- are Earl Elkins -- he's the gentleman in the gray shirt with the beard. He's a high tenor, and unfortunately is no longer with the group. Eli Jacobson -- he's the gentleman in the red longjohns. He's also a tenor. Jesse "J" None -- he's the gentleman in the black jacket. He's a baritone is capable of hitting ridiculously high notes when he wants to. Layne Stein -- he's the beatboxer, but when allowed to sing -- which happens often enough -- is a baritone. He's also their primary arranger (and arranged this song). And finally, there's Geoff Castallucci, their basso profundo. He is, perhaps, the lowest voice in music right now. (Tim Faust of Home Free and Avi Kaplan, formerly of Pentatonix come close, but Geoff can go below both of them.)
    If you want to see them stretch their legs as a group normally, try their video "Boy Bands in Five Minutes", or one of their collaborations with Rachel Potter (the Moana Medley and the Little Mermaid Medley especially).

      Geoff isn't a basso profondo. I would say, he's a basso cantante with ridiculous low and high extensions. Geoff himself even said, that he's a bass-baritone... But, as we hear, he doesn't sound like a bass-baritone "naturally". He can go really high in chest (up to A4, maybe even higher) and even sing ± comfortably in bass-baritones tessitura, but he's "natural voice" sounds like a bass, but certainly not a basso profondo

  • @patheddles4004
    @patheddles4004 3 роки тому +18

    As a few people have noted, Geoff can sing the upper baritone range because he actually is a baritone - he just has a very rich voice and a great low extension.
    That's still not enough to get him down to E1 in modal voice though - his last two notes are using subharmonics, which he's really good at. Details get complex, but basically he sings a couple of higher notes together and makes us hallucinate a lower note that isn't actually there. For instance if you hear a clean E2 and B2 that are well tuned to each other, then your brain will hear them as overtones and will hallucinate the missing fundamental E1.

      @@victorleebhagad352 I'd say you're a bass with a good range, though I suspect you're attempting to screw with me by asking the question.
      But, taking the question at face value, I sang in choirs as a kid and teenager, and in a co-ed a capella madrigal group in high school. We had sopranos, altos, tenors, and basses doing standard 4-part harmonies in classical, romantic, and popular styles. For what it's worth, we performed as the back-up chorus for Andy Williams during one of his Christmas specials in front of 16,000 people, just so you don't think we were some average high school singers. We were actually good. Am I an expert? No, but I know a bass when I hear one.
      The thing is, none of the basses in our madrigal group were actually basses; we were all baritones. The lowest note we had to hit in any of the pieces we sang was a G2. The standard bass range for operatic basses is E2-E4, which fits perfectly with what you say your range is. Very few parts in operas, historically, require notes lower than E2. So, yeah, by the standards of opera, you're a bass.

    The tangent you went on at 8:19 about the lack of baritone is exactly what I've picked on about this group for years.
    They can do some incredible things with these top-heavy harmonies, but sometimes a baritone would be kind of nice to connect Geoff to the rest of the group.

      I'm actually a fan of the huge differences between geoff and everyone else. It gives great contrast and really makes him stand out and gives them their sound. I'm more of a home free fan, but have gotten into voiceplays music lately and have really enjoyed it.

    Such a great song and reaction to it! The Santa was played by Pasquale Palazzolo who is Voiceplay's email marketing manager (not an actual singing member of the group) and is a relative of Geoff's through his wife Kathy (Pasquale's sister). Voiceplay singers are Geoff Castellucci (Bass), Earl Elkins Jr (Tenor 1), Eli Jacobson (Tenor 2), Layne Stein (Beat Boxing) and J. None (Baritone).

    Speaking of Geoff's talking voice, you should check out his reading of "The Night Before Christmas".
    Pretty much everyone I've ever seen reacting to Voiceplay, or Geoff Castellucci, has that same facial expression the first time they hear his depth. The subtitles on this video actually call his last note "subterranean".
    Also, believe it or not, they LOST "The Sing-Off" to Home Free.
