The duality of being both a wondrous Jack and an amazing Oogie. He is the Pumpkin king 🎃
Don't forget about Frollo from Hellfire yesterday 😊
I did my very best! 🎃
I liked this more than the original! I'd say you did more than your best. And I agree Everyone hail to the pumpkin king 👑 🎃
@@GeoffCastellucci
You did way more than your best. Both of the videos this year are absolutely beautiful and amazing.
I have been listening to both almost constantly since you guys put them on your patreons.
Halloween is also my favorite holiday. I can listen to Halloween songs year around 😊
@@artfreak3608
Agree 💯💯💯💯💯💯 💯%
Adjectives DO NOT do this production justice...you feel it in your DNA. Thank you each and everyone involved....Salute!!!
Thanks!
@@GeoffCastellucci amazing work dude
Try some nouns, perhaps...
Wholeheartedly agree! That was incredible! 🤯🤯
Adjective about Geoff: he is a grave digger 6ft deep that he rise the dead from their graves.
I love how right before Zero appears we see Geoff tapping on his leg to call him, very subtle and cute detail
That moment at 1:17 where he just turns into a completely different singer 0.o I'll never get used to that.
I actually jumped out of my skin. 🤣
My jaw dropped at that moment I was shocked.
@@chelestinac1105 that's exactly what happened to me as well the first time i heard him sing... i was (still am) completely blown away!
Same 😭
It's like he ate a tenor. 😆
The emotional changes really capture the jitterbug chaos of the character as he whiplashes through regret, sorrow, pride and more with a delightful mania. And that moonglow is amazing - really sets the scene!
Gotta love that moon!
My wife just started dancing to this and she is deaf and blind (she can hear sort of with her implants). She just told me that Jack's Lament is one of her two favorite songs. Excellent job with the entire production Geoff and his friends!
i would imagine with his range, she can actually feel his bass notes if you have the music loud enough, like feel the rumblings in her bones. i know i can. glad she and u like it!!
@@davidwilson3568 Actually the sound wasn't very loud and she was doing her craft work a few feet away when she suddenly started dancing which sort of surprised me. She said she could feel his deep bass. Normally when she is doing her craft work she is in her own world and at night she takes her cochlears off so she can't her a thing so when she started dancing I said oh, you can hear that?? and she said no but I can feel it so that made perfect sense. She's an amazing woman!
Deaf and blind? Damn, did you abduct that b*tch or something? How the hell does anyone trust anyone else when they can't see or hear anything?
Aww, What a sweet surprise thank-you for sharing this with us!
A lot of times those with hearing issues hear bass better. I have a soft voice so when I'm dealing with older people rather than stressing my voice I go a octave lower speaking.
1:17 made my heart literally melt😩 the switch up was crazy
He is a hybrid
I never thought I’d crave a live action Nightmare Before Christmas, but it turns out that yes, I do.
And i wish is Geoff do it 😍😍
Don't give Disney any ideas dude
There was a kickstarter for it a few years ago from a playwright who had written a fully-adapted script, but it never got fully funded. It's a show that would really only be feasible in October and December, which are crowded show months already, and a show that's only going to have a chance of success 2 months out of the year is not going to go well. I think it's a fantastic movie to adapt into a play, but the logistics just don't work, sadly.
There kinda is, Danny Elfman took it on the road, film playing in the back but the songs performed live, Danny as Jack obviously, the guy that plays oogie was there too... it was an amazing experience
I heard they're doing one with Johnny Depp as Jack!
I seriously can't right now. I mean, I expected the low notes. Even the subterranean notes. I mean, that's Geoff. But what I was not prepared for was the absolutely seamless and seemingly effortless register changes. From the basement to the penthouse and back. I can't imagine how much work went into being able to make those huge jumps.
I'd say they aren't as "effortless" as he makes them sound!
You do realize that he is singing both parts, but not at the same time and not on screen. He's lipsyncing only to do the video, but lipsynching it ends up being.
@@nokomarie1963 I believe they're talking about when he's singing the lead part, and bounces back and forth between his upper and lower registers... they're not talking about the background vocals.
This is the first vid i've seen of him, and that range is incredible. that last subterranean note probably caused an earthquake somewhere. 😁
@@zarasha8220 I think they're suggesting that he sang the two registers separately and pieced them together for the video - which is possible, but knowing Geoff I believe he could actually do the transitions, which are what make this piece exceptionally impressive.
Jack Skellington might "excel without ever even trying," but Geoff excels with dedication, creativity, and incredible attention to detail. Not to mention the years spent working to perfect his craft. So much respect and appreciation for all you do, Geoff! 💙
And of course the same goes for Kathy and the rest of the team! 🎃

That "no animal nor man can scream like i can" was sooo amazingly haunting and beautiful, bloodly well done geoff
Wish he kept it all the way into the verse after would’ve been dope
In 30 years of enjoying TNBC I have never heard a cover of Jack's Lament that I actually liked. For 30 years, only Danny Elfman could fill that role. But you, sir, have finally done it. Well done. Amazing work! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
It took five watch-throughs to catch the moment at 2:25 where Geoff taps his leg to summon Zero, just like Jack did in the movie! This is what I love about Geoff's videos, they're always bursting with tiny little Easter eggs (spider eggs?) so that with every watch-through, there's always something new to discover.
OH, I hadn't noticed that! Thanks for pointing it out!
I have easily watched it 10 times and I only noticed it because of your comment.
Every time I listen to this, I fall more under its spell. Your connection to the song is so abundantly obvious in every detail, every expression and performance choice. We’ve seen you become someone new with a perfectly executed character voice, but that isn’t what’s happening here. This is so clearly your voice, but it’s also Jack’s, like there’s no difference between the two. And your voice is at its most beautiful, lightheartedly menacing when called for, then powerfully melancholic in a moment. It is magic reverberating through my soul and I am at a loss to express it properly.
Wow! Thanks!
Well said
THIS.
Most beautiful Jack Skellington i ever seen
Dude, I've got chills. The makeup was so flipping good, too. You're the literal Pumpkin King, I'll only accept you for the roll when Disney inevitably decides to do a terrible live adaptation 😁
Yes and yes I totally agree, I was thinking just the same, this guy is not only impressive for his voice which is supernatural low but also wherever he wants 😂 but his acting and general performance is outstanding no matter what he is doing, so he should have the chance to perform in the big screen no doubt.
I don't want him to lose his air like jack

OMG GEOFF You decided to leave us shocked with your huge range!? Like what is that chest Eb1 and that mixed C5 on 2:15!?
Definitely the best work of yours!
like really whaaaa eb1 really
That Eb1 note confuses me so much,it sounds like Eb1 but it have the texture of an F#1,we need a solid confirmation from Geoff himself
I Hearded lots of E1 chest also
His first Eb1 chest
I really like doing the high notes. Don't get to do too many of those in my line of work.
What are you doing to us Geoff?
*shakes head*
You continue to amaze us BOTH solo and with the Geoffettes, bringing them in when they are needed, but letting them chill when they are not.
You continue to grow as an artist, amazing us time after time, setting the bar again and again, and it is forever our pleasure to watch and listen.
Thank you, from the bottom of our hearts, for continuing to be you. ❤
THANK YOU!
@@GeoffCastellucci: we needed more of this songs but make it more creepier then dark of the darkness that terrifies us.
@@deanmarion5477yeah
@@kevinmcgowan2334 : same mind think alike
@@deanmarion5477 true true
I love that even with the lower voice you still make sure Jack sounds vulnerable in the softer parts.
Geoff was BORN to be Jack!!!!
Let's get the likes up to 1 million by end of the day. Share share share
Well, Geoff is just Geoff but in this case his birth name is Jack or the real Jack from Nightmare Before Christmas adopted the different Jack which is Geoff.
"There are few deny that what I do I am the best" that's very true from a singing standpoint - you're a gem Geoff!! Very glad we all exist in a time where we get to witness your amazing talent! You really outdid yourself with this one
This straight-up confirmed his status as being the best of the 3 major bass singers. An Eb1 in chest? The hell? And then a C5 2 minutes later that sounds really good? Insanity.
I feel like husbands need to be warned of this man's existence.
Fortunately for the husbands of the world, Geoff is happily married. :)
They'd just fall for him too.
Everyone is happily married in this hypothetical 😂
@@silv-eeeThat's disgusting...
@@thehomelesshebrews you're disgusting
It's official. I need me a man who can sing bass.
Can I borrow him when you find one please?
as a bass, I can promise you that we aren't that cool or attractive. Goeff is an anomaly.
@@ultimategaming4265Can confirm, I just don’t like people but want to be alone with others who also want to be alone
If only …..
He is Jack. He is Oogie. He is Frollo and Ursulla and Tamatoa. He is a dwarf, vampire, headless horseman, ghost rider, coal miner, and both the Haunted Mansion's host and caretaker. And let us not forget a beautiful Isabela. Geoff keeps proving he can play any role, especially the most important: a dad and loving husband.
This is a masterpiece with perfect acting. (I love so much that the hands don't touch the instrument - ghost music.)
Aaaw, agreed! 😍
In my opinion, Geoff is unique: a singer with an extraordinary range, an actor, a musician, a dancer, an arranger. Not to mention that he is a wonderful husband and dad. And just a good person: someone who loves animals can't be bad. How many talents one person has!
And he is also a stone bust in a museum. :)
Bonjour! The way Geoff transitions into a deep resonate chest voice to a light and floaty falsetto is incredible. Also the harmonies in the background make it so when Geoff sings in his lower register its even more dark and eerie, especially with the atmosphere. We also can't forget the costumes, makeup, and visual effects!
I'm completely in love with your voice in ways I cannot fully describe, those low notes are just hypnotic.
I just keep coming back to this. I especially love the softness of the E1 at 1:43 - like, you wouldn't expect that note to sound so sad and expressive, but it does.
Also, the way "screams" at 0:59 sort of fades out in this thoughtful, creepy way gets me every time.
This is brilliant from the arrangement to the acting to the staging, lighting, mixing, and videography, not to mention the singing. You crushed it, Geoff! 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟
Thanks!
Geoff. It took me almost the whole time between the Patreon release and this public one to put into words how much I adore this cover! Initially all I could do was make unintelligible noises and squeaks, so I've managed to improve on that. 🤣
I agree with you in that this song is often overlooked when it comes to this soundtrack, but it's always been a favorite of mine. It's really beautiful, in a sadly creeptastic way. Jack is such a trichotomy of tragic hero, impulsive child, and scary monster. That being said, with this arrangement you *absolutely* found that perfect balance between the 'personalities' of Jack's mercurial nature.
Visually, this is one of your more stunning videos. The set dressing and lighting give it *such* the right ambiance. The makeup and costuming are just enough to give us Jack without crossing over into caricature. And your acting? Top-notch.
I absolutely *adore* this one, Geoff. Thanks again for letting me ride on the crazy train and Happy Hallowe'en! 💀🎃💕
I know the Lyrics are part of the song but it fits Geoff so well. "There are few who deny, at what i do i am the best, for my talents are renowned far and wide" That should be Geoff's tag line :P he is just so incredible
This was great! Your ability to quickly switch from bass to tenor and back again is amazing!
Why do I suddenly picture Geoff as a perfect Jack in a live-action Nightmare Before Christmas?
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Because you didn't consider it beyond 'I like this song'.
The theatricality of the video is killer!
Please in the name of all that is good, no live action rendition of this movie. One of the things that makes this movie so magical and special is that it’s claymation. It can never be recreated and Hollywood really needs to stop with all of these live actions of the classics.
Because you have ears 😛
Being a 57 year old HUGE HUGE HUGE fan of Danny Elfman and Oingo Boingo, I got to say you didn't just do this song justice, but you blew the lid off of it! I'm sure the red-headed maniac behind the song would be so proud! Keep doing what you're doing...even if it damages my brain from not being able to comprehend the awesomeness! SOOOO DARN GOOD!
🖤 If I were cursed and only allowed to listen to the same 8 seconds of music for the rest of my life, I wouldn't have to think about what I would choose: Castellucci taking off his head to recite Shakespearean quotations.
Best vocal line I've heard in my entire life - Castellucci being a full masculine choir! 🖤
This so much is my favorite song and video since the release I've been listening to it daily multiple times and I won't stop!
You can feel the voice in your chest, it starts small then swells till it fills your body from head to toe. This song . . . Feels good. I mean physically feels good.
Some of your best work, Geoff! This could seriously be a scene straight out of the movie. You perfectly captured Jack’s character! Love the mid-phrase octave jumps and the lovely tenor parts. The subs are delightfully smooth and rumbling. Fantastic work by everyone involved! ❤
Geoff, this is an absolute masterpiece. I've listened to it a embarrassingly high number of times since it dropped on Patreon because it's just *so good*. This is definitely one of my favourite things you've ever done. Kudos to the lovely arrangement, amazing singing, incredible make-up, spectacular costuming and of course the beautiful and slightly creepy set. You and Kathy did such a marvellous job with all the little details. Shout-out to the BTS vid on Patreon for showing just how much work went into everything. I hope you're proud of this one, Castelluccis!! Happy early Halloween 🎃🎃🎃
I think this is his best single Halloween song. Literally Geoff I'd doing far better than Voice Play view wise. He is a phenomenon with his 5 octave range
@@melissastruxness512 He is a phenomenon, but he's not in competition with his own band. No need to compare 😊
Hi Castellucci the most pleasant bass singer ever lived on this our earth!
Wanna say THANK YOU to comforting and supporting me in this difficult moment I am.
Just wake up from surgery and your voice was the last and the first I've listened to before and after narcotics. I'm still full of pain drugs, but wanted to thank you for escorting me through my fears and pain! I appreciate you so much! You're my very favorite artist.
Your music and voice means so much to me ❤️🩹❤️🩹❤️🩹 Now I'm going to heal and you will also be part of this.
Maybe you don't care, but I hope you realize how important music and you are for many of us. You're the king!
2:12 My favorite line.
I wonder what note he hit here, what a range!
besides the heart-stopping performance, the production quality is nuts! The set, the costuming, the lighting! 😍
How fortunate are we to have Voiceplay yesterday and this today!? Geoff Skelellucci, you ARE the Bass King!
Jack's character speaking as who he's always been & crying out as if a part of his soul is missing.....portrayed in 2 voices is brilliant!
It's almost Jekyll/Hyde -ish. Except Hyde has been in control for a long time & now is sad, lonely, repentant...
.
Absolutely marvelous.
This is the first time Jack's sadness, anger, lamentation, and loneliness have touched my heart, despite the many times he has frightened us.
My wife actually showed me this. Absolutely stunning performance. As a former Bass in Choir and having sung at Nationals, that voice work and especially the ability to convey the words so perfectly clear at low levels is extraordinary. Well done. I absolutely love this rendition!
The thing with his songs is that you can listen to them 1000 times,ad you just keep being astonished by his masterpieces.
First hellfire and then Jack's lament right after? I have wanted these songs covered by our man for YEARS having both release so close to each other is so cathartic I can't wait to listen to it!
Wonderful! And shout out to Rick Underwood for the beautiful face and hand paint!
And chest!
This deserves to be a Broadway or live film performance.
I know that everyone loves the low notes, but those times when he does that rocker scream are so phenomenal. So much awesome talent 😁
Geoff is truly the king of immersive storytelling. He never sings, he INHABITS a role. 😈
Now comes the fun part of watching our favorite reactors videos.
DJ will appreciate the costume choice. I pray that Mortius sits down, otherwise his knees will never forgive him. Kaz will lose ALL of her pens. 😁
Right? Who are some of your favorite reactors?
@@shelleeroe3152I really enjoy "DavidKReacts". He has musical knowledge to talk about the arrangement, harmonies etc., but also some theatre background so he'll discuss lighting, costumes, props, the video in it's entirety!
@@suzybailey5501 oh I’ll have to look into his stuff. I love listening to Peter Barber, but I’m always on the lookout for more…there are times when I just binge reaction videos or look for new people.
Calling it: TCV will have to stop the video to just giggle at least three times. And we will giggle with her at the same time
made me wonder if geoff wants to do something else lol
I just realized at 2:25 he pats his leg to get Zero to come. I think that's what it is
Exactly. 🙂
Yeah, I didn't catch that before. Thanks for pointing it out. I know Jack did it before the song, I remember that.
UA-cam kept popping this video up after i watched a different cover of toss a coin to your witcher. And a couple times i clicked not interested on it so it would stop following me. The voiceplay oogie boogie popped up on my feed and it was almost Halloween so I watched it and then the kidnap the sandyclaws and i was like who is the bass and i googled it. Geoff and then this video popped up. Well dang. They were right, i really do like it. Dang algorithm now ive been watching Geoff and voice play for like a week solid lol. Good job. Its even more impressive after hearing you talk about how to do arrangements and things. Much respect good sir.
This is the perfect way to start off spooky season 🎃. The arrangement, vocals, costume, makeup, and set create a complete story.
Jack's discontent is very human. A wonderful song and setting.
I love the song but it needs to be said that I'm sort of in love with Geoff's diction. His clear speech in that deep voice is giving me Halloween shivers. :)
No animal, no man can SING like he can!
This might be Jack's Lament but I hope you'll allow me to laud you (and Kathy) for this incredible production that you have made!
This ranks among my favourite productions of yours. Not just halloween, but of all time. The amount of details in this that together form the perfect homage to Jack's Lament. This truly feels like it was a theatrical performance, or a scene from a live action version of the movie.
What a beautiful arrangement you have made. Switching so expertly between the soft passages and the more manic ones. Your voice fits this song so much better than I would have been able to imagine, and you pull of an incredibly believable performance. You are Jack Skellington personified in this, and made the song more musically interesting to listen to. I have had this on repeat ever since we got this on patreon, and rewatching the video on repeat, I can't help but sing your (and Kathy's) praises.
I am not sure you could have done a better job embodying him, other than doing it in stop motion. Although that one part after "I'm known, throughout England and France" with those shifty movements definitely looks like a nod to stop motion, and makes it extra spooky.
What a gorgeous set you have created here, with that black and white feel and that pop of colour from those beautiful pumpkins (I love the one on the piano, it's adorable)
Your outfit is also very well chosen, to not have a direct copy, as that is just something you never do, but it fits the role so well.
Now to sing Rick Underwood's praises for that unbelievable make-up. The skeletal fingers are another very cool detail, and that face make-up blows me away.
I also love the appearance of Zero and the snow!! How beautiful and wonderful.
This is an incredibly impressive production for many reasons, and you really keep surprising me. Bravo, sir. I'm so glad to be a patron to get to support productions like this.
How dare you drop this MASTERPIECE on us WITH. NO. WARNING. GEOFFREY?!?!?! 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩
I always get the chills at 1:17 the switch up is insane
My car was in the shop today for 8 hours. The only thing keeping my sanity intact was Geoff's amazing voice as I delved into all of his music for the first time and was amazed
This blows the original completely out of the water. He brings so much personality to it, it makes me want to see him do the whole damn movie. Can't get enough of this delicious performance!
I haven ´t seen in it yet, but i ´ve got tears in my eyes. I love the nightmare befor Christmas. And of course i love your music, voice, acting, humor and gentleness. Thanks from Czech Republic- Europe. ❤
So... Thoughts...?
@@GeoffCastellucci Amazing, so soft and tender to the point of being intimate. I was wondering if you would keep the spoken parts - typical of this song. But your version has more sadness in it of course the pain that Jack feels. I thought Sally (Kathy) would speak at the end like in the movie. Thank you for this magical experience.
1:29 Geoff's adam's apple going DOWN, my god.
Я не перестаю это слушать. Каждый день, хотя бы раз мне нужно это услышать. Этот голос просто обволакивает и погружает в историю, а какой артистизм😮 мой любимый момент, когда в самом конце играет пианино, а Джек замечает снег😍
A Geoff Skeleton? God, yes, please! 😍
The performance is devilishly amazing!🥰
How? How does everyone always out-due themselves. The set, makeup, choreo, and arrangement, but the acting is truly something that’s how you know when someone is feeling their material!
Your vocal range is AMAZING!
0:34 spoken chest-fry from Geoff on “of my”. His first time using chest-fry
I absolutely love Geoff's voice in this song. A beautiful song sung by an incredible talented singer, the instrumentation is fantastic, the video is amazing. Thank you everyone who took part in making this masterpiece.
This was amazing. I thought I knew Geoff's beautiful range by now, but the way he goes from super-deep to light and airy never fails to amaze me. And I love that Zero was in this...maybe he should have had Layne reprise his role as Zero. We all know how well Layne plays a dog, be it Zero or Maxn
The makeup is incredible, and so spooky, and the lighting really accents it, so does the way Geoff moves. Already found my favorite Halloween video this year, folks! That is, unless Geoff does another one...
I can't but say how it impressed me. Actually the most unusual timbre and technique. Just WOW! I'm grateful for touching the strings of my soul..
Woah I have been looking for someone who could perform this song that surpasses Danny Elfman himself and this was such a surprise to find!!! I love this amazing twist to the song with the voice and range! 🙌
The snow at the end (3:23) was a beautiful touch.
The man...The myth...The legend...The Pumpkin King!🎃
Amazing job with this one! Top credit to everyone involved!
The moment when he said, “And I”ll scare you out of your pants!” my soul left my body because I wasn’t expecting that jumpscare to happen!😅 anyone else?
Every single bit of this is utter perfection. The costume, makeup, set design, visual effects.... all stunningly perfect. And oh yeah, there's also Geoff's gorgeous arrangement and perfect highs and lows (and of course subs)... but the best is how he didn't just perform the song, he acted and personified the character to perfection as well. Bravo Goeff and everyone else who helped make this production. Your attention to every detail musically, visually, etc... doesn't go unnoticed. Thank you for this amazing piece!
This is incredible. I hope you all enjoy it just as much as I do.
What an absolute inspiration .. FLAWLESS 🔥
The instant switch from sweet, light tenor to that bone-rumbling bass...listening to Geoff sing is such a beautiful mind-f*&k~
Well . . . that was the best thing I’ve heard since Disturbed covered The Sounds of Silence.
The effects where amazing as well. 🥰
I'm impressed with this piece, Geoff! You have outdone yourself again.
The video is stunning - you've captured that dark, colorless atmosphere with some splashes of orange of the "Halloween Town" so beautifully. The set is incredibly beautiful - you can really see the attention to detail. Your makeup is so good - the face, the bony hands and even the idea of a skeleton on your chest. I love the costume too - it's a nod to Jack Skellington, but in your own way.
So great you worked in Zero and the snow!!!!
The arrangement is so beautiful and well done - you've found just the right piano sound. I also think it's great that there are so few BGVs - it increases the feeling of loneliness.
And now the vocals, Geoff, the VOCALS! I cry with joy when I hear that. You nailed the schizophrenic nature of Jack's voice and managed to give so much depth and ‘gravitas’ to his feelings of boredom, loss, despair and yet pride in his achievements. The dark, deep bass voice alternates with the sweet, high lulling, speaking and screaming - it's perfect!
Shoutout to Rick for this makeup!
And geoff... Gosh! This is amazing! You are getting better and better in production etc and you can hear, that you are working on your range and skills constantly. So beautiful! Thank you for your content. It is always a Highlight 😄👏👏
No matter how many times I see this, it still enchants me. Bravo!
This is the best cover of this song I've ever heard or seen. Singing this is hard enough, but he performed it theatrically in an absolutely amazing way.
Изумительный голос, прекрасное исполнение, оригинальная оранжировка, что сказать - браво! ❤
2:15 New highest chest note from Geoff!! C5!! Bravo!!!
I love the duality of your voice. Being able to switch octaves like that and have that range, you are truly gifted and wonderful. It’s awesome listening to you.
О мой бог. Вот это голос! Вот это аранжировка! Всё продумано до мелочей и такая подача - обалдеть! Я влюбилась. Миллионов подписчиков вам и заслуженной славы.
My daughter and I we are absolute fans of The nightmare before Christmas...this is brilliant...the set, the make up...everything is just done right...not to mention your wonderful talent....just amazing
As always, the music is excellent, but I think we need to appreciate the quality of the effects, costuming, body paints, set design, etc.
I'm not a professional singer by any means, but by the end of this I was asking "how" You were already on a very low octave , but when you sang 'unknown' towards the end it blew my mind. I can sing, but the thing I long for is this range. You have a gift.
I can't express how unique and touching this performance and production is. It is incredibly amazing. @GeoffCastellucci you are a magician! You Are the Pumpkin King. Love it when you sing ‘I Jack, the Pumpkin King‘ growling almost biting. I would never have thought that anyone can sing like this. Also love it when you sing in higher voice. Tender like an Angel. Your performance is perfect in every detail. The changes from singing to talking, the vibrations of your voice and your timing ... You transport all of Jack's feelings. Goosebumps! Thank you for publishing this song.
Beautifully Spooky! And you did capture the essence of Jack very well. I have to point out the exceptionally wonderful use of your version of backup voices coming in on "no animal or man can scream like I can" along with the multiple 'exposure' image of you. Very schizo looking! And eerie! So much else is also spectacular. We all knew your voice would be up to it. But the way you arranged this, with your timbre going back and forth and the changes in range is really what 'sold' the many sides of Jack. Well, and you're acting. Ooo...forgot to mention the "I, Jack..." was very menacing!
It has also been a very long time since I saw the movie but I don’t remember the snow? It kind of reminds me of Edward Scissorhands….
We’ve been counting down the hours since Geoff announced the official release on Patreon!
Chanteur exceptionnel et jeu d’acteur très impressionnant !!! Je viens de découvrir et franchement j’adore !!
Your wife does such a great job with sets and making the videos!!!
Love this!
Great job guys!!! ❤
This movie will live on forever.
Oh, yeah! Geoff's gonna bring the tears out of everyone AND give us chills at the SAME TIME!
Oh, I am not ready for this at all I am so excited. I feel like this spooky season is going to start on a low note!
I see what you did there... tee hee.
The fact that the human voice can sound like that is absolutely unreal to me. Stellar job, man.
My husband and I very musical people...Hubby has been watching your intructional videos trying to extend his range. We listen to your music and hubby always says "F you Geoff" when you hit those super low notes. Know that is meant in the best most complimentary way!
