Geoff: "I'd never call myself a natural bass"
Also Geoff: *causes a sonic earthquake just by speaking*
Well, compared to the traditional, "true" basses like you see in gospel, he really isn't. As crazy as that is.
HE DOSENT CONSIDER HIMSELF A NATURAL BASE?! JEEZUS THE MAN COULD CAUSE A WINDOW TO BLOW OUT BY SNORING
LOL
Exactly, his talking voice is ridiculously low...
Dude his regular speaking voice measures on the Richter scale. His singing voice tho
100 on the Richter scale. This dude has an amazing voice
How to sing really low:
*Geoff starts speaking*
Me: ahh ok.
Unfortunately that's how it is when it comes to singing low...
I wish it were different seeing as how I cant sing low hardly at all.
@@Fearless13468 well if it makes you feel better I have a very deep voice and wish I could sing higher but its just not in the cards, there's always an upside my friend:)
@@hudsonpallett6184 the thing is I wish I could even sing high. E4 is the start of the painful range for me.
@@Fearless13468 where's your comfort range at?

@@DJAZfake you guys seriously need to stop bragging about your range in the youtube comments... nobody cares, are you singing because you like it or to brag in youtube comments?
@@entropymusic6571 Have I asked for an opinion of yours, dear?
@@DJAZfake I mean, you kinda did. You must have wanted a reaction, otherwise you wouldn't comment stating your range out of nowhere. Your just fooling yourself if you can't admit that. Peace
Thanks for the shout-out Geoff!
Daviddddd, nice to see you here 👌👍 been loving your vocal technique/ subharmonic videos lately
love u david :)
If it isn't the man himself
Yo, what’s good David
I have a question. I try to sing subharmonic and when I do, my sister tells me, yes, there is a tune, but also she tells me I sound like an electric drill.
Will that sound disappear with training or is ist just how subharmonic singing sounds like?
Geoff is a rare talent. Is a bass can be a baritone or a tenor. Love you Geoff
and soprano with that A5
Scraggs bullshit he reaches that in falsetto even most basses can do that
no, as he said, he is a baritone that can go bass and also go up to tenor range
ThePorritZ im stating that he is able to hit soprano notes
All these people are saying that there ranges are BO-A5 please tell me how. My range in barely A#1 to about G5. Even though I have a Low a it’s so quite I can barley hear it myself. Just please I need a explanation
3:29
Love how the camera starts trembling when he belts!😂 I llike to imagine everything else behind it is falling apart from the shockwave!🔊🎶
And my heart 😂.. I have to put my name because this is my hubbys phone ..adrienne
Geoff: “Without challenging myself too much”.
Also Geoff: *Hits 4 octaves effortlessly*
Geoff, YOU AND YOUR VOICE ARE MINDBLOWINGLY AMAZING!!! 😍❤️🎼
Geof: "And we're back"
And (d3) we're( c3) back ( c2) 😄
Nice, perfect pitch XD
Ah, the combination of perfect pitch and ADD. I thought I was the only person who listened to the pitches that people talk with😂

me, a soprano: wait what am I doing here?
I’m a really big fan of Voiceplay and Geoff and I can’t wait for more of these videos! Really educational :)
aeonnie x same
Same!!!
yep, last I knew I was a soprano and a fan. Glad I am not the only one.
same here, soprano in the house XD
Im a tenor and usually go down to baritone and never bass and i wanna learn
"I'd never call myself a true bass." Everyone points out his low voice, but what we really need to point out is his long hair.
Love the shampoo commercial effect he gets in a lot of videos
As a bass guitarist with long hair, I’m cackling
0:15 " *AUGHHH* "

Me trying to record bass covers of Voiceplay arrangements:
1) Learn the bass parts
2) Try
3) Cry
4) (Optional) Switch back to PTX covers
Raimi Rusydi yeah Matt Sallee’s range is much more easy to replicate than Geoff’s. Matt barely goes below a C2
San Cieslak most of the time I can do the subharmonics Geoff does, but the E1 in Oogie Boogie is kinda tough for me
San Cieslak how do I sing it? I used subharmonics to hit it. I also used ingressive phonation, which is just inhaling vocal fry basically. It’s much easier to hit using that technique
San Cieslak mine doesn’t sound as good as Geoff’s either. Geoff has been doing it for years now which is probably why it sounds better. I’ve only done it for about 6 months. One day I hope to sound as good as Geoff, only time will tell.
San Cieslak my natural chest range is about Bb1-A4. Sometimes I can go lower to an A1, but usually a Bb1 or B1. With head voice I can go higher. What’s yours?
Anyone else just love to listen to his voice? Its so calming
Yes and I'm glad he's done some spoken word recordings too.
Many years ago I used to fall asleep to a radio program where the guy had a soothing deep speaking voice like this. I miss it; it was called Night Sounds.
He can sing lullabys for me any night! ;-)
I just listened to him read The Little Mermaid to me last night and fell asleep just go to his channel it's very soothing.🌹
Yes, you are not alone on that. It's so calming to the brain and can make all the other noises go away
6:04 now that's just straight up adorable ❤
"Any given day, four octaves."
That's the sort of range people joke about on acapella arrangements with pitch shifting. This man is the real deal.
Me: I wanna sing low!
also me: *is female*
That's a mood right there. ;)
Hey, I'm a female and I can reach a B2(I think)

"A baritone with a bass range." That is the true definition of a bass-baritone, or as some put it the other way, a baritone-bass.
Reading “baritone-bass” with my own two eyeballs immediately triggered my flight or fight response.
Or bassitone maybe
Bass-Baritone, aka Bass 1
@@theawsomefools6303 true
That means that bass can be high and baritone can be lower than usual but both are still bass and baritone

Thanks for the water reminder. I needed that today.
You know, not as a singer, but as someone who is always forgetting to hydrate.
Geoff, your talent is astronomical. You've got to get into doing audiobooks, I could listen to you talk about literally nothing and still be enthralled.
And he did. And it's perfect.

AHAHHAH
😂😂😂
im 14 and i just realized i have a bass voice and now i’m obsessed with you
Just wait 3 years. You will sound way more mature as well. And your voice will likely deepen more.
@Cheese Boy if you keep singing low notes through puberty and work that lower range...your voice will deepen more
I'm a tenor. What the hell am I doing here? Dreaming, of course. What a deep voice, dude! I'd like to be able to hit even a C2.
it's impossible to hate this guy
He really is lovable!
Hi Geoff, I just recently found my subharmonic register. Its so cool I couldn't believe it at first, but after I saw your video and David Larson's, I actually tried it for a few days and WHOA its actually real. It goes an octave below what I was singing. So impressed and just wanted to say thanks.
@rafortnite 777 Hmm.. I kinda feel like its easier after you understands the technique, but it's difficult upon hearing it the first time.
As an example, the first time I heard or even know of this technique was after I saw Voiceplay's OOGIE BOOGIE song, and yes it was Geoff's last note. I was so amazed and tried to do it before watching both the tutorial from Geoff and David Larson's. Couldn't find it within the first 2 days. So I started looking for videos that explains the technique, and stumbled upon both of their videos. I understands the technique because Geoff mentioned a horror movie that uses this technique (I believe it was the Grudge ?) and begin to start from there.
Eventually I found my register and now I feel so much easier to do it again and again without any "warm-ups". And yes, I believe Geoff can still go a little bit lower than Sub E1.
Mordecai Peter yeah I’m sure Geoff can definitely go lower than an E1 with subharmonics. He said he loses resonance around a C#2, so that’s probably the lowest he can go with the subharmonic technique (C#1). But, I guess we won’t know until he officially says
@rafortnite 777 how do you know the pitch of your growl when it's below the piano range
@rafortnite 777 I think you should use a tuner. Because you can think you have hit the note and then realize you were wrong. My advice to you is to download a tuner and see the pitch of your growl 😉
@X rafo Also, I found out a little trick. Sleep on your back at a 45 degree angle. It helps. Also make sure your neck is straight and not bending forward. It works
Geoff: I'm not a bass
Also Geoff Reach Subharmonic B0 in their Warriors Song Covers.
In the climax of the song he actually hits an A0 as well, which is insane
If I recall correctly, Geoff said that that note was artificially manipulated in post
I think it's established that Geoff loves The Office
Interesting how the world works. The guy who didn't want to sing bass originally is one of the ones who got me excited to learn to sing bass. I just started voice lessons recently in part because of watching this guy. Thanks for being a good example!
Geoff originally wanting to be a rock tenor is surprising, but also explains a lot lol
Oh definitely, it really shows in his obvious enjoyment of the higher passages he does in Oogie Boogie. Just head thrown back, joy of singing. Everyone goes nuts for the low notes but that high end has to be such a good feeling.
So he basically wanted to be Eli.
@@TheBaumcm Yes, but it was a no-go: too much height and too much hair!

Geoff referring to Queen... when he’s got Baron’s cane next to his keyboard... friendly reminder he played Baron.
And was awesome!
When you said learn in instrument I was like "Hell yeah, I already do!", and then you went on about chords, notation and all that stuff. Drummers life...

i love this comment
How do you discover that?
THIS IS TOO FUNNY OMG
Un Rap Random sorry! It wasn’t meant to be sarcastic. I genuinely found it so funny and am glad you pointed it out. 😂 The noise is perfect.
What surprises me most about your voice isn't how low you can go (it is is pretty crazy though) but how high you can go. I can only get as high as about F5, maybe F sharp, and that's on a good day, yet you've got a high A all the time!
My highest note is also F5 sometimes F5#, and that still surprises me, mainly because I'm a bass 2. Question, what's your voice type?
My highest note is Bb5 actually and my lowest note( using growl that is) is C#1😊
@@cheferguson1274 what voice type are you?
@@cheferguson1274 my lowest note that I can hit on a regular basis is F1. I did hit an E1 a few days ago with subharmonics, but I've never been able to hit the note again. And I don't use the growl technique.
@@theawsomefools6303 So I sing bass actually but lately I've been trying to extend my vocal range.. also I'm 16 years old 👌
Not only a great singer in a great group but also takes the time to make these videos for his followers and fans wanting to learn more I love what you're doing. Thank you very much!
Hey Geoff, I have been bass singing for a few years. You, Tim Foust and Avi Kaplan are my idols. I love your guys's music. I am making an A Capella group for my college in the fall. I just wanted to say thank you for the things you do. Because if I hadn't heard any of you sing, I wouldn't have met the people I have and done the things I have done. Keep up the good work!!
Вы-самый красивый бас,какой я слышала за 66 лет! А я никогда не упускаю возможность послушать бас...
This really helps me a lot for highschool show choir!
Also if possible, can you please do a specific guide on Sub-Harmonic and Voice Growl if possible, if not it's ok!
Have a really Awsome day geoff!
I just watched this video, and I am so happy to see that you are willing to help people with their voice and singing. Please always stay as honest and caring as you are. It is so nice to see that you care so much. Thank you for being you!
You're awesome dude!
Few people are blessed with the ability you have and that deep rolling thunder bass just gives the sound so much more depth and feel.
I'm nothing but a frustrated church singer but folks just don't get how music works. You guys do. Happy I found y'all!
I love how open you are about your techniques and struggles. There isn't a lot out there just for bass voices, and it makes me feel in good company to know that even the best miss notes here and there. I also struggle with landing those subharmonic notes, and I just assumed you had them down perfectly. I'm inspired to practice more.
Please Geoff, keep on doing these videos because they are really helpful for me
You're brilliant, Geoff! I love listening to you!
With nothing but immense respect, and no notable music background to speak of on my part, can I just say- you could sing me the phone book and I'd feel it in my ovaries. Goodness. This is what world peace sounds like, I'm convinced. Brilliant, brilliant talent.
This probably sounds cheesy but "watching these helped me significantly increase my range". I've always tried frying to get higher or hide my breaks up there (I also always wanted to be a tenor) and never thought to fry to go lower. I never thought I'd be able to get into the 1's before. You explained it perfectly for my brain to wrap around it too.
OK I THINK THAT GEOFF CASTELLUCCI SINGING QUEEN AND DOING THE OFFICE REFERENCES IS THE BEST THING THAT'S EVER HAPPENED TO ME!!! Srsly, thank you so much. H I L A R I O U S
No easy feat to even imitate Chris Cornell he had a very specific & uncommon range. That was really good
Dark Neverland you are a boy now.
I have to say you never cease to amaze me! I just recently discovered you and Voiceplay and I’m smitten! The work that your and the others put into your work is outstanding and it has been a bright spot in my life! Thank you for all you do! ❤🎶🎼
Ha! Those wacky instrumentalists with their crazy notes.
David Larson was such a help with subharmonics when I first started attempting it, and it's nice to see that you learned from him too. Thanks for the tips Geoffypiebaby
Great!!! Just super!! Without too much high self-esteem!! This is what a true musician is!!
I love the fact that your are so honest.
Every time Geoff does the last note for oogie boogie his hair grows 2 inches
Yo Geoff, i am so thankful for these videos, there's not a lot of videos about bass on the internet, and these are not only so helpful but i love the editing. 😂😂
also a side note, keep going, you are doing awesome!! :)
Most comfortable in 2nd and 3rd octave. Same here with me. I have a 5 octave range -G#0 to B5 with subharmonics. Not many of us out here with natural bass-baritone voices. Thanks for your time on the video.
Thanks for sharing you technics and good advice. Enjoy every session. And practicing a lot.
Have you recorded any of Soundgarden's music? That would be amazing! Also, I would fan girl freak out to hear Eli doing some Bon Jovi.
I love these videos so much please don’t stop making them
You r incredible! just LOVE our voice, both high and low ❤
Thanks Geoff Just became a big fan watching Ghost riders I have listened to other singers I vote your version In my mind is the best. It moves my spirit
Please continue to making videos.
You awesome Geoff 👍🎶
I love the tone of your voice
Thank you Geoff for these videos. I appreciate your talent and your advice. I love your music videos as well.
My son and I love listening to different vocal ranges. You are definitely our favorite!
Hey, Geoff! You (and maybe Layne, as well!) should make a video about how you make your arrangements for Voiceplay and your own tools and methods for arranging music for a capella performances! I sing with an all guys a capella group at my university and have written a few arrangements, but would love to learn from some of the best out there!
your voice is so so so awesome just when you are speaking, so low, so amazing!
Thanks for these wonderful tips and behind the scenes tidbits. I really appreciate it when a working professional take some time to respond directly to fan questions. That you make it fun and entertaining is a great bonus!
Thank you Geoff, now I dare to sing more and more. Your voice is a good example for me, I thought I had lost my voice. After 40 years of shameful mumbling I know that I'm a baritone/bass. And btw great walking stick! I had a few accidents that is why I need sometimes a walking stick .
We all love you Geoff
i'm female but trying to learn to imitate a male-ish voice without hurting myself lol
i THINK i've been making use of the subharmonic range but didn't know it was called that
thank you for all the advice, it was very helpful!
I hope you dont hurt yourself. I'm a male and I try to imitate males both low and high trying not to hurt myself. Some guys like Geoff are freaks of nature.
Fearless GD i’m being very careful! ^^ long breaks, lots of experimenting to try and find the most comfortable way to do it. it’s challenging but i’m taking my time :)
Jesus I love Geoff, he's a cool guy and one of the only voice types I can identify my singing with and I'm so glad he takes time to make vids like this! Thanks Geoff!
Thanks ! Great trick, techniques and charisma !
I stumbled across David Larson's subharmonics video about 2 years ago! I'm amazed to see that you learned the technique from him as well, and I aspire to be as practiced and refined as you someday. It's really cool seeing you behind the scenes, Geoff. Would love to make it out to a show once the Ronies go away.
What’s the lowest note you can hit using subharmonics? Can you go lower than the low E?
He hit C# in the middle of Oogie boogie song
@@marcelloberry6829 yes it's true! I wonder if Geoff would confirm this

He's my favorite solo singer and I am just curious on another amazing singer's view of him.
Very nice and helpful. Thanks Geoff! 😍

I love the editing, so funny!
thanks for these tips these are really helpful ! you are amazing geoff. so much respect !
I do understand what you mean at the Baritone with Base area. I had this kind of issue myself. For a long time I wanted to sing high notes to get certain arias that I loved but I always considered myself to have low voice so practiced as alto. I called myself that but in the end with the help of my teacher I realized that I do have the high notes and she started couching me for mezzo but then someone called me an actual soprano...so...yup. I feel this idea that you start off as something and end up to get something else. Also I do get that your area of comfort (aka your tessitura) is to the baritone notes but it is indeed great that you can handle your base and your tenor the same well. As I said I too have my area of comfort to the low notes and a little bit to the high ones (the middles are my nightmare for some reason! It is my "passage" as me and my teacher call it) so yeah it happens a lot from what I hear that even if someone sings a lot a certain voice range, their area of comfort might differ a bit. In operatic singing is not preferable of course but even then I have heard it happen some times.
I always believe that range isn't everything and I would always consider a 2.5 to 3 octave range a good range but I always admire people who not only do have the natural range but have the technique to support it. Many of your advice indeed apply for both high and low notes, for instance the relaxed body and the low larynx. We try to do that every day in our training (and of course practice! DUh! XD)
Keep up your great work and we surely appreciate any creation you and the guys have to show us!
I love your humor dude.
I had a problem to identify my own range for years. Thanks. I just have. What you're saying resonates with me. I thought I'm bass but I feel more comfortable singing bit higher notes plus all of that variation of higher octaves. Great watch and amazing, strong, young and vibrant tone of your voice.
I can't even-
You're so talented 🥺!!💕
Geoff: “I’m not a bass”
*Can, can you not...? :(*
It took me almost a full year of daily practice to be able to sing that ending of the Oogie Boogie song... with my morning voice.
It will probably take me another year to be able to sing it on command.
Geoff is insane.
I managed a mildly off-key subharmonic E today after constant practice starting from the first video thanks to these. Thank you so much for posting these.
Crazy range I am happy with 2 octaves. Love to hear your take on this. I am amazed by the fact you don’t consider yourself a bass. Your voice is great you listening to you great information in the video.
