For a good demonstration of Geoff's range, check out the VoicePlay cover of "Oogie Boogie's Song." You will really get to hear him go from one end to the other - RAPIDLY.
It that 4 octave drop in the Little Mermaid - which would be great even without it.
My favorite! I’ve watched it hundreds of times. I live for reactions to that one
@@janetdw yessssss
Yes!!!!!!
Oh PLEASE do an analysis to this song. It's gonna be awesome!
Hey guys thanks for reviewing this song, Geoff is making some of the old folk songs popular again. However, the story behind 16 tons has little to nothing to do with the old prison songs. 16 tons is about coal miners in the Appalachian region in the US. Since the depression was raging in the US work was very difficult to find. Families would move to coal mining camps with the promise of steady work. However, these camps were extremely far away from other communities. Families would not be able to get needed supplies except through the "Company Store". The prices and your wages were calculated so that you didn't make enough each month to afford what your family needed to survive. However the "Boss Man" was happy to help your family out by giving you credit in the company store. Each month you were "Deeper In Debt". Your employment contract stated that you had to clear any debt before you could leave the Coal Mines employment. Basically they were trapped working for the coal mine all the while getting deeper and deeper in debt.
Thank you for correcting the historic and cultural references this song is about vs what was presented in this video!!!
This
I was going to say - he’s talking about company towns not prison!
@@bookcat123 yep, but in truth there isn’t much difference as you couldn’t leave in debt
@@eschultz19661 True. An apt misunderstanding.
So glad you've discovered Geoff. He has a superb voice over wide range including ridiculous subharmonics. This video concept was put together by him & his wife Kathy. Geoff is the bass for the group Voiceplay & they do pretty much everything themselves including arrangements & videos. Geoff's done about 14 solo covers & they're all brilliant. Voiceplay is definitely worth a look their new one Dragonborn Comes is epic. Belated Happy New Year from London
Enjoyed your reaction, thank you. Listen to the a cappella group, VoicePlay, that Geoff sings bass with. They just dropped "The Dragonborn Comes" and Geoff's opening notes are just impossible.
It wasn't just chain gangs/criminals. When you went to work for many mines, you lived in a company town, you're paid in company script that can only be spent in the company stores, and never enough to quite live on. So... people ended up in debt to their jobs. During the depression, where people were without choices and many were homeless, it sounded good. Until they became enslaved to the job and unable to leave until they paid the debt - and there was no way to get it paid.
Geoff has a 5 octave range he is amazing check out more of his stuff and also Voiceplay they are amazing ❤️🏴
this song was actual one where Geoff challenged himself to not go below his chest voice, he also has several notes below the lowest used in this video that he has access to via subharmonics. and Geoff really has great control of the subharmonic register.
I had so much fun watching this!
Geoff sings with a group called Voiceplay. The just released several songs you should check out. Wicked, the Greatest Showman, and Dragon Born. But my favorite is Halo!
Geoff Castelucci is amazing. Great singer, great person.
I will never get tired of hearing people discover Geoff. Please check out his acapella group Voiceplay too. My Mother Told Me is unbelievably epic.
The headless horseman is a great song to here how low he can go.
Welcome to the rabbit hole of Geoff Castellucci! As others have probably already mentioned, he has an impressive catalog of music as a solo artist, as well as being the bass singer for the a capella group Voiceplay. On his UA-cam channel you can also find some dramatic readings (Edgar Allen Poe, The Jabberwock, and The Cremation of Sam McGee, among others). He, and his wife, just posted a video discussing hearing loss. It turns out that Kathy has to wear hearing aids in both ears, and they discuss what that has meant in their lives, and how others can cope with it as well.
Omg! I would love to see You react to Oogie Boogie from Voiceplay. Geoff goes even higher (and lower) there. It is earth shattering
Voiceplay: If I were a Rich man/girl.
Geoff sings lead for a while and it's AMAZING! ♡♡♡
Hi from Daytona Beach, Florida ⛱️🏖️. I'm a new subscriber and enjoyed the reaction that you gave 👌. The ladies I think we're to "Shocked" from Geoff's voice 😂😆!! Anyway, looking forward to seeing more reactions from your channel ☺️
For more bass, check out a group called "Home Free".
Their cover of Johnny Cash's song"Ring Of Fire",features Avi Kaplan former Bass singer of Pentatonix, another Acapella group. So their are two bass singers for this song. Since they have no instruments, their award winning beatboxes acts as the human drum kit.
It's a great song!
I think you would love Blackbird. shows so much range and musicality.
This was such a good reaction video! I'm really lookin forward to what you do next!
There is another great bass singer, Tim Foust from the acapella group Home Free. If you like bass, check out Hillbilly Bone and Brothers in Arms!! To hear Tim's full range, check out his cover of Will You Still Love Me/Stay!! It will blow your mind!!! I would also love to see you react to the band Jinjer! Pices Live session or the live performance of Perennial at Wakken!! Another great live performance would be Disturbed performing Sound of Silence on the Connan Obrian show! Great reaction and I look forward to seeing more!
Check out Geoff's cover of blackbird for a good example of his range, and the halo cover by voiceplay Geoff's lowest note
The interesting thing about Geoff is that he's actually half deaf. That's what he got into the style of the bass style of singing that he does. His technique is very similar to Mongolian throat singing, and the reason why he kind of got into that is because he can't quite hear, he will pick up on the vibration when he does the singing similar to what Beethoven did when he composed. Talk about owning it huh? Very impressive in my book.
Loved watching your faces when Geoff goes low. I hope you'll check out his work with VoicePlay (Oogie Boogie's Song, My Mother Told Me, Hoist the Colours, Halo Theme) and more on his solo channel (Monster Mash, The Headless Horseman, Country Roads, Shenandoah).
Please come back with some more Geoff and VoicePlay reactions. They're killing it lately.
Would love to also see your reaction to an a Capella group Home Free. A good start would be man of constant sorrow which by the way is a blue grass song
Geoff and his group Voiceplay are fantastic. Believe it or not, Geoff can sing almost an octave lower than you heard here. G1 is his lowest chest note for the most part, but he has hit a B0 in their cover of the Halo theme song and C#1 in their Wicked medley and new Skyrim song which are all absolutely incredible in their own right.
F#1 is his lowest in this song, superstition and twenty one pilots mashup
@@nikelodeon6852 F1 is now his lowest chest note in Whiskey in the Jar cover, that Voiceplay has updated in November 4th, past year.
@@hugobasilio1303 Yes after 2 years and being a Geoff fan I really needed the update thanks..
@@nikelodeon6852
You are welcome! It´s been such a long time, Geoff hasn´t recorded a low chest note below F#1!
That F1 is just crazy as hell!!! So beefy and not strained at all!
I knew he could do that for a long time, he just didn´t want to show up, for lack of vocal quality, most likely.
@@hugobasilio1303 I was being sarcastic mate..I already knew this as I'm a fan
Every bass was once a tenor. It's called puberty. After which, it's harder to access the tenor voice, but with practice, it's definitely doable.
Geoff has a great cover of the song sound of silence.
Soo many good songs by Geoff Castellucci. For fun you should checkout his versions of the Monster Mash and the Headless Horseman. For Voiceplay you can't go wrong by I reccomend Hoist the Colours and the Little Mermaid Medley
omg hi from HK!!
Watching and enjoying the video I got freaked for a sec cause I saw the reflection of a person standing in the window behind yall lmao
This song was written by Merle Travis in 1947 and recorded by Tennessee Ernie Ford in 1955! I see that many posters have already corrected your misconceptions about the story of the song!
if you like bass you need to check this out. [Bass Battle/UPGRADE] Avi VS Tim VS Geoff (only low notes) - UA-cam a few of my favorite bass singers. I'm a little partial to home frees Tim Foust just because i hear him first
Hi from Bulgaria! I enjoyed very much your reaction to this song. If you like low voices, please try Home Free. This is acapella group. Their low bass singer is Tim Foust and he has 5 octaves range. I recommend "Ring of fire", where there are two magnificent bass singers - Tim Foust and Avi Kaplan from Pentatonix. I guarantee that two ladies will have their jaws dropped at the end of the song - just like they were at the end of "Sixteen tons" :)
Actually during the depression coal mines would pay in their own currency that could only be used at store they owned. Company stores. They often would go further into debt to these store because they would give credit until pay day. They also jacked up the prices in these company stores
Without headphones? Great
The one in the traditional Chinese garb is the prettiest.
Y'all should react to his cover of Shenandoah
You should react to voiceplay's oogie boogie song. He sings in that group. It's awesome
Can you please do some VoicePlay Reactions. It’s an accappella group and Geoff is the bass. They are incredible. Hoist The Colours and Oogie Boogie are Amazing xx
He doesn't even go his lowest in this song believe it or not. You want to hear him REALLY show off, react to Voiceplay (the group he's part of) doing their cover of 'Oogie Boogie's Song' from the movie Nightmare Before Christmas. You'll see what he can do then.
I think the best solo song of his to watch would be House of the RIsing Sun. For the VoicePlay songs I recommend Hoist the Colors and My Mother Told me. He calls himself a Baritone-Bass, as his speaking voice isn't quite James Earl Jones territory and he can definitely get up there. One of the things he does vocally for the really really low notes (like the E1 and F1) is subharmonics. Which is essentially a polyphonic production where you combine a fundamental pitch in modal voice with an undertone produced by a vocal fry. It's a lot like singing in the passaggio and/or doing yodels. There's this sweet spot you want to hit and you need to be really relaxed or it just comes out sounding terrible/wrong. The way the undertone of the vocal fry interacts with the fundamental produces what sounds like a straight tone 1 octave down. I enjoy practicing subharmonics even though I would never have a use for it. It's in a similar vein to the overtone stuff you hear from Diana Ankudinova (which is called Khoomei).
Geoff is amazing. In his solo work, when he is not with VoicePlay, suggest Blackbird for his 5 octave range. Love Shenandoah too. He often harmonizes with 3 or 4 other Geoffs. And he's married ladies.😀
Can you guys do a reaction video on Home Free’s - When A Man Loves A Woman. Thanks in advance.
Do the blackbird cover of him
AXITY😍
Geoff in the video was all him
Geoff naturally has an extremely low bass voice. Interesting listening to him speak. It isn't surprising listening him go sub base, it is more interesting listening him go high which is out of his natural range.
This song had nothing to do with chain gangs. It was about coal mining. A miner tried to take 16 ton of coal out the mine a day. When my father worked in the mines, they got paid 50 cents a ton for coal. The company store would sell groceries and carbide, fuses etc. During proabortion miners would get paid and they would get drunk, and the bootleggers would rob the balance of their pay and their families would have gone hungry if they had not bought the things, they needed from the company store. The bill was taken out of the miners pay before they got it. Since the company store was more expensive than regular the miners families were always in debt. My father did not drink, and never bought anything from the company store other than fuses and carbine for his lanter hat. My dad would have been 110 years old this week and I remember him talking about this when I was achild. He left the mines in the late 1930's and never looked back. Unfortunately, many miners thought they couldn't do anything else. it was a difficult life.
Please react to Katrina Velarde and Jessica Villarubin “I Surrender” 🙏🏻
If these people were actual voice coaches, they would had 1 thing to say about anything. They just say, WOAH, WHAT A LOW NOTE. Hey, let me go create a YT channel and react to a bunch of videos with some girls I picked up off the strip of Las Vegas. That's the vibe.
Hi can you react to morrisette Amon My Immortal Cover by Evenecense thank you ❣️❣️ Philippines
You have just heard one of the best Basso Profundo 's in the business, now, let's switch to tenors, in my opinion David Phelps is the best! Check out David singing O Holy Night and there is a part called David's Phelp's highest notes(resonance) check both of these out, you'll be blown away! Thank you!
One of my favorite Geoff C songs is his version of "Over the Misty Mountains Cold". Another favorite is "The Headless Horseman" where Geoff is paying tribute to the late, great Thurl Ravenscroft!
Please check them out.
Btw new sub here 😎.
If you want to see how low Geoff can sing, check out his cover of Blackbird.
This is not a chain gang song. It is a Coal miners song originally by Tennessee Ernie Ford. This song was about the generational coal miners being abused and controlled by the mine owners.
Sorry ladies, he's very much married for years and his wife is his producer. She approved his costume. Geoff's range amazing and you can see it in his latest single (He's also the bass for Voice Play) Shenandoah. He did it specifically at his wife's request. An unusual arrangement. He also splits arranging duties with Layne Stein, the beatbox and his friend since childhood, on Voice Play. Though VP is a capella, Geoff does use some instrumentation in his singles. He, Tim Foust, and velvety Avi Kaplan (a trained basso profundo) are the current 'big 3' basses in popular music. All have 4-5 octave ranges.
This isn't about a chain gang. It's about everyday men working in appalling conditions, but were paid in company scrip that could only be spent in the company store. The prices were just high enough to force the workers to accept a line of credit, that they could NEVER pay off. It was basically indentured servitude (cough slavery cough) and they were trapped for life.
Hate to disappoint but the song refers to coal miners not chain gangs. 16 tons of coal was a test on your first day on the job.
"Sixteen Tons" talks about life in the coal fields in Appalachia. The coal companies would build coal towns for their workers and would pay their workers in script, a currency made by the coal companies. It was useless outside of the coal towns. You could only spend it in the company store owned by the company. So essentially the coal companies were not paying their workers with money. All the money that was made by the coal companies went to the company owners. Essentially they got the workers to work for "free".
I can hit those notes pretty easily and I'm only 14
A YEAR LATE ... But ... You were wrong on the origin of the song. The coal and steel mining companies would create towns near the mine for the workers. The only place to buy your daily living supplies was from the mine owned town store. Many miners had to spend more than they were paid, and promised to pay the remainder of the bill next payday. Some racked up YEARS worth of debt in a matter of months. HENCE the line " I owe my soul to the company store."
Hilarious reaction. Sorry girls he's happily married.
NOT a chain gang song! It's a mining song, as the lyrics and scenario very clearly indicate. He's saying he can't die yet ("Saint Peter, don't you call me, 'cause I can't go"), because he "owes his soul" to the company store that's run by the mining company, because he's over-extended his debt to the store for food, tools, supplies, etc. He's not a chain gang prisoner, but a prisoner of debt to the company store.
I'm glad to see someone chose to correct his history. Thank You!!
They would buy their groceries on credit from the store owned by the mine. They would never get ahead of the debt.
Good catch! To make the entire situation more horrible, the workers weren't even paid in real money, but rather in "company scrip", a fake currency only redeemable at the company store. This practice has since been outlawed, and the most recent example of someone getting in trouble with this is none other than Walmart, when they tried paying a portion of their employees' paycheck in Walmart gift cards.
Thanks for pointing this out. Said it better than I could
@@spamhere1123 Yepp, and company workers also lived on the land owned by the company, in houses owned by the company (often the simplest of shacks, barely providing rain protection, much less vs heat or cold), had to buy their amenities such as coal or wood from the company. As these company sites often were far away from other towns the workers really had no choice but to buy at the company stores, which were outrageously overpriced, even if they were paid in standard currency instead of company scrip.
The ultimate expression of all-out capitalistic exploitation without any regulations or protections. But that was loooong before the Great Depression.
If you don't know Geoff, check out some more of his wonderful videos where he shows off his range of five octaves. His version of Blackbird is a good example of this. He is the bass in the acapella group Voiceplay where he either sings or becomes the bass guitar sound. They are brilliant in all genres but especially theatarical pieces such as their latest, Dragonborn Comes, from the video game Skyrim. You can't go wrong with anything he or they do. And yes, he clones himself to become what I call Geoff and the Geofftones. :) This song isn't about chain gangs but coal miners back in the day who had to buy everything from the mining company store so never had anything to call their own. Voiceplay and Geoff have many many fans and patrons who will certainly watch your reactions to them.
Blackbird Please!!!!
I was just going to correct them about the chain gang thing. My grandfather worked the coal mines in Virginia and sang that song all the time. The company store was the precursor to payday advance places. Yeah, I will give you stuff and you pay for it the rest of your lives. It took my grandfather a couple of years to be able to move out from Virginia to California with the rest of the family because he could never get ahead. The company stores always charged more than anyone else but it was a company town and there were no other stores unless you had a way to get to the neighboring towns. When he got to California he then moved into a lumbering town but this time he was smart and never bought anything on credit!
Second Dragonborn Comes it's epic!
he has four octaves and some change, not five.
@@muslimmetalman If you say so but most agree that with the subharmonics and some high notes it's five. And who am I to argue?
All the women squirm when the bass comes out. They all tend to feel overdressed(looking at you, Cheryl) when Geoff starts to sing. On another note, checkout his a capella group, Voice Play, for some fine entertainment.
It's always fun watching someone discover Geoff. He's also a member of the acapella group Voiceplay. They're amazing as well.
He shows off his range in his cover of "Blackbird" by the Beatles, so maybe you can check that out. He is also the bass singer in the a cappella group Voiceplay.
The funny thing about this song, is that Geoff tries to stay in his bass without using subharmonics. He is one of the best at that. Listen to Voiceplay doing the Halo theme for his lowest note or High & Dry for his upper and lower combined. He has a 5 octave working range. He also has a channel where he explains how to sing lower (as well as awesome covers).
That B0 in halo 😅
Please check out Voiceplay's Oogie Boogie Song, has even more Geoff in it and others 😍🤯🤯🤗
Geoff is a Phenom! Welcome to the Geoff and hopefully Voiceplay rabbit hole, they are nothing short of AMAZING!! If you loved this I can't wait to see your reaction to some of his/their other content! I recommend Shenandoah and Misty Mountains(Geoff solo), and him in VP, Hoist the Colours, Oogie Boogie, Wicked Medley to name a few!
Loved this reaction!!! Yes, Geoff is easy on the eye as well as the ear. There’s a lot more to hear on his channel-and also his group, Voiceplay. They just dropped a new one, Dragonborn from the game Skyrim. If you think he is low here, you ain’t heard nothing yet. Thanks for checking this out.
Actually, if you go back and listen to Tennessee Ernie Ford singing, compared to Geoff, he sounds like a tenor, lol. Geoff is way lower in his register.
he's just a tad deeper than TEF but really stresses the weight
I love watching people first reacting to Geoff! He is an amazing artist! Please do more reaction videos of him!
Gotta check out his cover of shenandoah, absolutely beautiful and more high stuff in there
I just discovered this phenomenal singer this week when I stumbled upon a Voiceplay video by random clicking on youtube, and I tell you I'm already a Patreon for this guy. Suggestions for Geoff videos by himself I'd have to put his latest 'Shenandoah' on the top of list. Definitely also would recommend Voiceplay's Little Mermaid Medley just to show you something that combines his terrific range with his acting ability and their 'Wicked' Medley as well. Although Geoff doesn't have as much of the spotlight on him in the latter, he did the arrangement and it is outstanding! I second Christine's comment that the fans and patrons will definitely like to watch your reactions to more of his work.
*Wicked medley. :)
@@jamescurfman3284
Thanks! (So much for my trying to make sure I had no typos before posting!)
@@pfschuman You are very welcome. I know typos happen. I just did not want to see such a great comment getting roasted and the reasoning inside of it being ignored simply over that one little thing. The Grammar Nazis on YT are THE WORST. Hope you are having a better day. :)
@@jamescurfman3284 If you click on the three little dots above your comment, you’re given the opportunity to edit. It is tricky because you don’t have a lot of room to work in if you’re working on the phone, but it beats getting roasted alive for a typo. The typos don’t bother me as much as the grammatical errors.
@@janetdw Oh, yes, I knew about being able to edit. I was just trying to help somebody before the trolls show up and start in on them. :)
Welcome to the 5 Octaves of Geoff Castellucci. He is really brilliant. He also sings bass with Voiceplay, an incredible acapella group.
Geoff has an almost 5 octave range. And by range I mean comfortably singing and able to sustains notes with very good control and fullness.
Fun fact: Geoff was a decent bass, then, a few years ago, a vocalist published the result of his research on medieval monastic deep singing, during which he rediscovered the lost technics and methods used by the medieval monks to sing really low. In interview Geoff said, when he found the vocalist works, he started training for several months to learn and master those technic. Geoff is really talented, for sure, but make no mistake, his voice deepness and mastery is the result of continuous effort and hard work
years of work. He still states that when doing the deep notes he still can't just do them at will, he has to properly warm up and he usually does the very low notes in his songs late in the taping when he is properly warmed up and ready. He also practices other deep note techniques besides his normal sub harmonics such as the technique used by Tim of Homefree, and while having practiced for years he still has a long way to go.
Another awesome bass singer is Tim Foust with a 5+ octave range...he can go super low (has blown out subwoofers) and go up to high tenor. He is the Bass singer for Home Free a capella group which leans more towards country, but covers all genres. Check out Misty Mountains with Peter Hollens and himself to get a taste of his bass....then listen to Austin Brown and him sign My Maria (Austin is the High Tenor in Home Free), also Tim has released his own Doo Wop album where he sings all the parts. Geoff is amazing and has a lot of his own videos and with his group VoicePlay.
You can hear Geoff hit an E1 in his cover of "Blackbird" on his solo channel and in the cover of "Oogie Boogie's Song" on the Voiceplay channel. He probably has some songs where he goes lower than that, but I don't know offhand.
B0 in halo cover
That's probably so low that I couldn't even hear it.
Geoff's acapella group Voiceplay is a candy shop for vocal coaches, with no instruments hiding their wonderful voices. Rumbling bass, kick ass beatboxing, soaring tenors, luscious baritones, powerful rock tenor belts, gorgeous harmonies, all wrapped into the most theatrical acapella group out there! They don't just SING their parts, they ARE their parts. And if that requires a full on musical theatre performance, these guys take that challenge on head first!
They just released a new song on Saturday called The Dragonborn Come, definitely worth checking out!
...Next time listen to Geoff's (or VoicePlay's) videos with a pair of GOOD headphones on. You'll discover lots of details (and sounds) you just can't HEAR with just the laptop speakers. :)
You will enjoy pretty much every one of Geoff's songs.
As well as Voiceplay's songs. They do so much musicals, musical theater, Disney medelys, the list is endless.
Geoff is a bass for Voiceplay. They are wonderful also. They just released the Dragonborn comes from Skyrim. Geoff has his own channel. Nice review
Really enjoyed this reaction! You should check out more of Geoff's music (High and Dry is one of my favorites). And VoicePlay, the a cappella group he's part of.
Hot dang finally! Been hoping you'd find this!
You NEED to check out more Geoff, his band Voiceplay, and Pattycake Productions (the channel run by the band's beat boxer who is also in charge of the costumes, the editing, and the backgrounds)
If you think THIS is good, oooooooooooooooooooh boy do I have a triple channel rabbit hole for you
Good reaction, just wanted to let you know that the song was about Coal Miners that were being taken advantage of the companies they worked for. Coal Miners were being put into debt to the companies they worked for with no way to quit.
I wondered if anyone would explain that.
Geoff (pronounced 'Jeff') Castellucci is indeed a force of nature, and both his channel and that of the _a capella_ group he's in, VoicePlay, are the best of rabbit holes -- enjoy!
The information about the song's origin, however, is incorrect. Rather than prison chain gangs in the Great Depression, it was written in 1947 by singer/songwriter Merle Travis about the coal mines in western Kentucky, though the most popular version was released in 1955 by 'Tennessee' Ernie Ford. The songs lyrics talk about mining coal, loading 16 tons of it (a large amount) into the cars used to transport it from the mine, and being too much in debt to die.
So the only 'chains' were financial. The song's author remembered something his father once said about the practice of paying miners in "scrip," credit vouchers that could only be used at the nearby company-owned general store. He told a neighbor, "I can't afford to die. I owe my soul to the general store," inspiring the lyric.
Coal miners were, for example, offered their pay either as $10 in cash or $12 in scrip, and were fooled by the easy credit and enticed by the scam of an apparently favorable exchange rate. Scrip could only be used in the company's in-house general store, to buy items whose retail prices were greatly inflated above those in the distant towns. Miners would buy what they thought was $12 in goods with their scrip, when they could have gone to the regular stores that were farther away and paid only $8 cash. So the company store system both underpaid them and overcharged them at the same time.
Plus the cost of the goods to the company would have been, say, only $5 wholesale. So for the cost of $5 to the company, it could get $10 worth of labor, from a miner who thought he was purchasing $12 worth of goods, and who was left to wonder at the end of the day how it was that he could never dig out of his debt to the company store. A very abusive system.
For geoff hitting an A#5 watch peaches cover by Voiceplay
I think he has a Bb0 sub on way down cover (not the whole video)
To see him hit an A0 growl watch Enemy cover by Voiceplay
To see him hit a C#0 fry watch one of his bass tutorials
To watch a 3/4 octave slide depending on who you ask watch the little mermaid medley cover by Voiceplay
is it just me who focus my attention to the window and watch the one who's taking the video?🤣😂 anyway that a great reaction video
Get the girls some water. They are obviously thirsty!
Geoff (in an interview): "I don't see myself as highly desirable."
Everybody else does, though.
Love you're reaction guys,...next BLACK BIRD by GEOFF
You guys should definitely react to ( Ku Bersuara ) By Ernie Zakri she’s very amazing ughh I think you’ll love her performance 💕💕
Welcome to the rabbit hole that is Geoff Castellucci(& Voiceplay Geoff is their bass), they’re not brothers, they’re clones, what I call the Geoffettes lol, Kathy is Geoff’s wife and his and VoicePlay’s manager.
I’m NOT a Christmas song person but Geoff’s God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen is fantastic, also his covers of House Of The Rising Sun, The Monster Mash and Bare Necessities I highly recommend.
Geoff also does narrations and his The Raven and The Cremation Of Sam McGee are my personal favourites.
Geoff did the arrangement for VoicePlay’s Wicked, and I believe their latest The Dragonborn Comes, Layne(who is the beatboxer/percussionist in Voiceplay)also does a lot of the arrangements and The Showman Medley is also fantastic by Voiceplay as well as their Nightmare Before Christmas covers
You really need to hear his versions of Blackbird and Misty mountains.
Check out Geoff's version of the American folksong, Shenandoah to see both his low voice and high voice in action. ua-cam.com/video/cbFjVz_e8wo/v-deo.html
Geoff is amazing! You really can’t go wrong with anything he (and his band) does! Hopefully you’ll react to more of his stuff :)
Shenandoah should be next if your going to react to more of Geoff's videos. I hope you you will check out VoicePlay too. Geoff is the most talented singer in my opinion. He sings very high and can go really low and his voice is beautiful and soothing throughout.
plz react to
-- geoff castellucci "Shenandoah" , " blackbird "
Geoff is the best! Many solo videos but his his the bass from Voiceplay, a fantastic a cappella group. Check them out.
new sub here. Love your reactions. You should check out a singer named Tim Foust if you want to hear some serious bass. He has an accapella doowop album he just released that is killer.
