16 Tons and Blackbird both feature the 4 Geoff's... Outstanding videos! Or his parent group Voice Play is amazing as well, try out The Oogie Boogie song from the Nightmare Before Christmas or My Mother Told Me for a Viking fix!
There are also four Geoffs in his cover of The Headless Horseman. :)
He also did Bare Necessity with 5 Geoffs....
@@heathervona7883 Which was ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! :)
Big Bad John and Ain't No Sunshine have just been added to the "Geofftones" gems list.
Huge fan of Geoff and VP. In addition to the other suggestions, you may want to listen to VoicePlay's newest release dropped yesterday. it's a cover of "If I were a rich man" from Fiddler on the Roof" - about as far from dragons and hobbits as you can get.... but Geoff sings lead and has a jaw dropping riff at the end. From my POV, the song is just so much fun - no idea if it will be to your taste, but it's really a romp with an infectious beat. Way more fun than the original. And - Geoff. (Side note: Layne arranged the new one, and can't resist grinning at Geoff's ending. He's known for pushing Geoff to go further than Geoff thinks he can go...I'm guess that riff was one of those times.)
Geoff's tonal quality- throughout his entire range, which is nearly 5 octaves- is a large part of what I love most about his music. Richness is an apt description, I think. I've also heard it called very round, which makes sense in my visual-artist-brain; I've heard other basses who sound breathier or flatter (as in 2 dimensional) not filled with the depth a strong chest note should contain in their lower ranges. It's the same in his upper range; he maintains a remarkable fullness of tone all the way up the scale. Aside from his ridiculous vocal abilities, he also does his own arrangements as well as probably about half of VoicePlay's (the a cappella group he's been with since its founding in 1997), and I have a lot of admiration for the creativity displayed in those arrangements.
He has also helped arrange one or two of Home Free's videos as has Layne Stein (Voiceplay's vocal percussionist). ... Guy
He's a bassy baritone, which is why he is so good at singing both high and low notes.
If he was a true bass, he just wouldn't be able to sing high notes as cleanly as he does, and his low notes wouldn't need a mic or effects to be resonant.
@@Stan_S_Stanman he has videos on his tiktok of him singing these subharmonic G1s and E1s live in the air, and they still sound pretty damn good
The fullness of tone Geoff has on his lowest notes is why I enjoy his songs so much. Also, pretty sure he's a Tolkien nerd too, lol. That last verse is not from "The Hobbit" it's from The Fellowship of the Ring. Great reaction!
So if this performance has your butter melting you should see his cover of “”Sixteen Tons” or maybe Voice Play’s cover of “The Oogie Boogie Man” His voice is indeed “Rich” 😎
His Blackbird and High and Dry are pretty good too. If you would like to listen to something with both his highs and lows.
You should check out Misty Mountains Cold by Peter Hollens and Tim Foust, it was done 6-7 yrs ago.
I like both versions, I hope you will too. 👍🍻😀
Great reaction, Molly! I would also recommend this same song by Peter Hollens and Tim Foust (Home Free's bass). I don't know how you feel about keeping "seasonal music" within the appropriate season, but you should also check out Geoff's cover of "The Headless Horseman".
Yes, you definitely should check out Voiceplay🤗
Check out Voiceplay doing The Little Mermaid medley, and their Moana medley, you’ll love it. He was dressed up as the dwarves, not the Hobbits.
And the Geoff on the far left was going for the Thorin Oakenshield look ...
Check out his group Voiceplay and their newly released cover of “Rich Man”! Most excellent!
Oh Dear Child! Avi from PTX is wow, Tim from HomeFree is spectacular AND THEN there is Geoff Castillucci! He is another level in that he has a 5 octave range and can hit all the notes, but he is also a showman. Enjoy your journey.
That moment you realized Geoff has a dragon living in his chest. 🤣
SKYRIM DRAGONBORN from the game of the same name sang by voiceplay
That is one of my favorites by Voice Play. They are a total package.
Geoff has one of the best bass voices, his low range stands out barr none. And he does all the voices on this song, so perfect. Thx for your reaction Molly B
I sympathize entirely with feeling emotional over this one! My love for Tolkien + love of bass (and Geoff specifically, because he's awesome) made this just a wonderful experience of a song. I very literally teared up the first time (well, maybe the first two times) I listened to it. Took me by surprise, haha
Geoff has such amazing talent, you cannot even begin to experience it in just one song. Hope you do more from him and/or VoicePlay in the near future. Recommend Sixteen Tons, My Mother Told Me, Country Road.
“I was not expecting those notes to come out of a human being.” That’s because Geoff is part dragon.
Can I just suggest my mother told me by voiceplay who Geoff is a bass of lol great reaction! Just is for sure my favourite bass out there!
Some call his voice smooth. I think the idea of it being like a warm blanket is frequently appropriate too. It's just beautiful. Lovely reaction.
Try out Voiceplay warrior or my mother told me.
No, no, rich works. I definitely get a "chocolate-coated bar of gold" kind of vibe from that voice...
Geoff is just sounding the horn of Gondor it's fine......... probably..
You might also like Peter Hollens and Tim Faust (from Home Free) singing this same song. It is different, but also awesome.
I love Geoff, but have to admit I like the version by Peter Hollens and Tim Foust better.
Tim is the best. Geoff is awesome but Tim's tone is unbelievable. I would like to see them do a song together though. Tim and Avi laid it down with ring of fire.
@@corysonnier3248 you say Tim & I say Geoff. They are both equally as good.
Please do the next reaction on Misty Mountains by Peter Hollens and Tim Foust ( from Homefree), would love to see you react to that version as well...
He can go lower...He has plumbed the depths of subharmonics
Oh my goddess!! I just discovered the version/video of this tune by Peter Hollens (featuring Tim Foust, the bass voice of Home Free) just 2 days ago and downloaded it 3x within the hour. Now this is going right next to it for a back to back loop. Actually, both versions of this song/video would make a great frame to wrap around My Mother Told Me by VoicePlay. There's two more songs, or rather performances, to react to. While Misty Mountains gives me visions of foggy wood and homage to the old gods, the other is more war/conquering song.
welcome to the voiceplay and Geoff rabbit hole
Great reaction!! You should definitely check out Geoff’s cover of Blackbird and VoicePlay’s brand new cover Rich Man
it's funny how so many women love deep bass voices while men love high soprano voices. guess that makes sense tho :D
Geoff is a god voice play my mother told me. A Viking shanty and Geoff shows off more low notes. And oogy boogy from night before Christmas you will bassgasom love your show welcome to the v.p. family
Check out his version of House of the Rising Sun
High singing is heard by the ears...bass singing is heard by the body.
Your "nerdiness" is just perfect. You are a sweet, fine woman. Great reaction too :-)
Definitely subscribing :-D
Every bit as impressive as power house vocalists belting through the entire 5th+ octave.
Out of all the bass Geoff doesn't shy away from taking us on a vocal rollercoaster. Most bass are more reserved on average per song.
fyi Geoff is a one man performer, those four are all Geoff
First time on your channel, you have found a deep........rabbit hole. Like so many comments below, My Mother Told Me by VoicePlay, 16 tons by Geoff, oogie boogie song from the nightmare before Christmas VP, Headless Horseman by Geoff are a few starters for this emotional journey if you choose to do so. Good positive reaction, stay safe and healthy until next time.
Molly
Like others stated here, Geoff has vocal range 4 to 5 Octaves. In this video, he plays characters from Tolkien's The Hobbit: Unexpected Journey. There is a clip from Tolkien's man, Peter Jackson. As you know, he filmed Hobbit's series after completed Lord of the Rings Trilogy. Scene is Bilbo Baggins near a meeting of Gandalf and Thorin plus others singing this song.
Geoff stated that low notes were from using chest. He can hit lower notes into subharmonics level such as E1. Prime example: with his mates, Voiceplay doing Oogie Boogie Man from Nightmare before Christmas. Geoff portrays Oogie Boogie Man.
Melted butter is the phrase you might be looking for.
I think EVERY woman likes bass......
I recommend Colm McGuiness and Manchester Orchestra. Especially the latter's lyrical work.
Sixteen Tons, Blackbird, Oogie Boogie, High and Dry, and many other more both Geoff and his group, VoicePlay, has made recently are all sogood you should listen to those at least once in your lifetime. Personally, the most recent cover song they released that I truly impressed is "My Mother Told Me"
It shook my ovaries
Need to check out voiceplays the Dragonborn comes from Skyrim
If you love dragons check out Voice Plays version of The Dragonborn Comes from the Skyrim video. They even sing partly in the dragon language.
You should check out some of his other stuff like 16 Tones, Blackbird or County Roads. Also his stuff with VoicePlay, the Oogie Boogie Song is a must, also My mother told me, Warriors, The little Mermaid Medley, You're a Mean One Mr. Grinch and their latest If I were a rich man/girl.
Finally, someone worthy of listening to this song. So sick of watching reactions to people who didn’t know the source
The far left gives me hella john wick vibes in the face, tell me wrong💀🔥🔥
Not sure if you already listened to it, but he did "I see fire" ... same dwaves, lots more practice, way better sound than even this.
Cosplay....... you have not dis c overed voice play have you?
We just watched a woman fall in love, that’s just what happened here
The deep sound coming out of him sounds like it came out of a large dragon !
wth, does smaug have those weird bedy bugyeyes in the movie? cant remember..
Yes. High an Dry is amazing! Also, he is the lead in the new song his group just released: their version of "If I were a Rich Man" and is showing off his range like a beast!
Avi Kaplan - Change on The Rise
My favorite !!
Had to leave early for simping, but I left a like at least 🙏🏽🤘🏽
This song makes me want to live in the woods with nothing but a hut and a dog with a spear
The only mistake Geoff made is not having the thorin version of himself sing this song.
I've listened to this version of Misty Mountain many many times and I LOVE IT!!! It moves me and I believe Geoff is very talented
Also listen to Oogie boogie's song by Voiceplay 👍🍻😀
This should have been the version in the hobbit an unexpected tale
try Oogie Boogie song. or his Headless Horseman.
I was getting concerned for you, I didn’t know if eyes were meant to get as huge as yours got!😜
Next react film marlina the murderer four acts
"not to 'ramble on'...."
i caught that.
When the Gates of Mordor opens at DAAAAAAAAAAAY !
5:38 to 5:44, I nearly broke down. Makes me think of that last gathering and final drink before commencing that great, final journey. Reminds me of the boys of the world wars leaving their farms, towns, and neighborhoods, not knowing if they would ever be seen again.
best part of the song.
As a tenor I am humbled , he doesn't get high enough for me to match the notes he's singing .
got one for ya if you love bass tomi p hellfire
I'm one of the people who recommended this and am very pleased that you enjoyed it.
If you enjoy reading of dragons you should check out a series of books written by Anne McCaffrey. The first is Dragonflight. Although it's more SF than Fantasy the series is very well written. Cheers, Steve
The Pern series is amazing! Fist bump for the great recommendation 😁
@@maeco7 Yes, she was a wonderful writer. Steve
6:30, my man is a human didgeridoo
This man is a human subwoofer
His voice and get even lower
Dwarves not Hobbits .
This guys voice is deeper than the Mines of Moria……Holy Crap!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
If you enjoy these bass singer covers, I'd highly recommend checking out some of the content from Tomi P. He's nowhere near as well known as an industry standard like Geoff, but he's pretty incredible. His cover of Hellfire from the hunchback of notre dame is outstanding. He has a vocal range of F0 to F6 and knows how to use it. Here's the link: th-cam.com/video/3-l23zWvSsM/w-d-xo.html
If you liked this .... you should check out Peter Holland and Tim Foust rendition of this song !!!
From a fellow Tolkien nerd I loved this so much! If you haven't listened to them you should check out Rush, they are a Canadian Prog Rock band who are also total nerds, try "Rivendell" and "The Necromancer" both based on Tolkien's work. Also Led Zeppelin does a song called "Ramble On" which is also based on Tolkien. :D Enjoy!!!
As a fan of dragons, I really love that tattoo. I also have the one known as the Wyrm on my right arm in the same place and a Chinese dragon on the back of the same shoulder.
Although I would question your love for the Lord of the Rings stories, you should have recognised the song that the DWARVES sang in the home of Frodo about the never ending search for their ancestral home. Therefore, Geoff wasn't dressed as Hobbits, they were the group of Dwarves who visited the home of Frodo.
Til Then is a song written during WW 2 from the perspective of a soldier going off to war and asking his sweetheart to wait for him. It's lovely. Another goodie is a Bill Withers song Ain't No Sunshine.
Eberybody is surprised at a first sight because medieval vocals have been forgotten for a so long time : but love is triumphing and hits so many hearts at the end. Modernity is re-discovering what we knew in Europe during a 1000 years. A French Fan !
I loved this the first time I heard it! I keep listening to it again and again!
If you haven’t seen this one yet you should check it out Teddy Swims- I Can’t Make You Love Me, it’s outstanding!
Definitely check out Geoff with his group Voiceplay - start with the Oogie Boogie Song
This makes me jump each time I listen to it, lots of times! You should check Geoff's version of "Sixteen Tons" (also with the 4 Geoffs) and VoicePlay's "My Mother Told ME". I hope you enjoy them both!
I couldn’t quite make out what you said after “Okay” at the beginning, so I’m not sure if you realized that the low note right then (after the violins and before the fourth Geoff entered) was also his voice from the one who looked like Thorin.
Welcome to the depths of the earth that is Geoff. Another bass to check out is Tomi P. Start with Hellfire.
Smog seemed unimpressed
You need to listen corey Taylor's snuff acoustic live!!
You will love 16 Tons! But I agree, he does a fine homage to Tolkien.
Jinger??
What a cool reaction..
I have finally solved the mystery of this guy's voice. If "Adam Rupp" of the Acapulco band "Home Free" swallowed a drum set. It is simple. This guy just swallowed a tuba.
Geoff has also a bass cover of headless horseman you will love it too love your work too
16 tons is amazing. should definitely listen
This is great!
For another recommendation for one of many Geoff Castellicci's videos, Voiceplay did The Little Mermaid Medley, it's good, fun, and shows a side of Geoff you won't see often.
forgot two... another solo effort of Geoff's, the Headless Horseman. Then there's Voiceplay's My Mother Told Me...
The costuming is Great in this one as well.
👍😌😊💕💕💕
maybe you like listening to blind guardian
