Actually Geoff refuses to call himself a bass, he still maintains that he is baritone with bass and tenor ranges. He recently explained this in an interview with Peter Barber, a bass opeeratic singer. Worth seeing to understand the man, the myth, the legend. Left to right: Geoff Castellucci, J.None, Eli Jacobson, Cesar de la Rosa, Layne Stein. aka VioLayne. And yes, they have that effect on most people. :)
That's ok, Geoff calls himself a baritone too and we all know him as a bass singer (his range is incredible though and he can hit some high tenor notes as well) You are in for a wild ride with both Geoff and Voice Play.
He did a recent interview with Peter Barber. They discussed baritone vs bass.. Geoff has said that he's a baritone with a bass range... whatever his range is, it's phenomenal. 😃
Hands down....the best reaction!!! Love it when someone new to VP opens the journey with Nothing Else Matters. Now you might be ready for VP Valhalla Calling, Creep, Hoist The Colours, Seven Nation Army, Golden Hour, Dragonborn Comes, Dream On, Warriors, 21 Pilots Mashup, If I were a Rich Man / Rich Girl, In the Air Tonight...so many more. Enjoy the ride!! Following you for your next "BLOWN AWAY" moment!! They come quickly and often...like every song!
The most fun is seeing someone hear Voiceplay for the first time. They have no label, no manager, are totally self funded, primarily through a very dedicated fanbase on Patreon. They do everything themselves. Arrangement, production, edit, lights, camera, makeup, costume. Most arrangements are done by either Geoff Castellucci (bass) or Layne Stein (beatbox). This one was Geoff's, go for In the Air Tonight, it's Layne's arrangement. Then react to their most recent cover, Creep. That one was Eli Jacobson's (bald tenor). He does their lighting and effects and occasionally arranges. Take my suggestions, or just pick from their catalogue. They can do any genre, and can go fully theatrical (Dragonborn Comes). Great reaction, I am subscribed in anticipation of more Voiceplay and Geoff.
Love it when we see a reactor react to Voiceplay for the first time. You didnt disappoint 😂. Subscribing in anticipation of more Voiceplay and subsequently Geoff Castellucci on his solo channel. ❤
My favorite thing... watching someone experience VoicePlay for the first time! Layne is an incredible beatboxer, and also studied violin for many years. Fans have named him VioLayne.
Welcome to the Voiceplay rabbit hole! We have carrots! Love watching people react to them for the first r me and yours was great. They are amazing. From left to right - Geoff (Jeff)Castellucci, bass. As others said, he has his own solo channel and an amazing range. He also arranged this song. J. None - currently in the Navy but rejoins the group when he can. Eli (rhymes with Jelly) Jacobson - rock god, amazing tenor. Cesar de la Rosa - newest member, has a sweet bari tenor voice that continues to surprise us Finally, Layne Stein vocal percussion and violin (AKA VioLayne). Only has brought out the violin on a couple of songs but has been playing since he was a kid. He and Geoff usually trade off arranging songs for the group, but their latest, Creep, was arranged by Eli. They are independent artists and do pretty much everything themselves. Layne owns a production studio along with former member Tony Wachim and most videos are filmed there. Pretty much any Voiceplay song you pick is great, especially everything they've done in 2023.
Welcome to Voiceplay's rabbit hole. One of the most beautiful rabbit holes to get lost into. 🙂 I simply LOVE to see someone react to Voiceplay for the very first time. 😁 This particular one broke pretty much EVERY reactor that did it 😅. But there are oh so many others... Pretty much everything you can find on their channel. 🙂 Of course they improved along the years, especially on the video side, but even the oldest ones of their video are amazing. 🙂 Just subscribed in anticipation of more Voiceplay 🙂. BTW, Geoff ("Jeff") Castellucci, the bass singer, has his own solo channel, which is another rabbit hole in itself and a very good one too. In those video, that he calls "Low Bass singer covers", he ususally "multiplies" himself digitally, often with different makeups and/or outfits, and sings ALL the parts... He has 5 octaves range, and sings gorgeous at any height 🙂. Just choose one that entices you and watch it, you won't be disappointed... 😁 See you next time!
Welcome, welcome, welcome to the VP rabbit hole. They do all kinds of covers, but it seems like you have an affinity for classic rock and they have some outstanding covers. They recently released CREEP by Radiohead. They've done Carry On My Wayward Son, Dream On, and so many more! And yes, the violin...they have given him the nickname VioLayne. He also plays it in their Warriors video. I think you'll enjoy this group!
This was pretty much my reaction to VoicePlay a year and half ago and I've never looked back. 😂 Loved your reaction! ❤ They have a killer cover of "In The Air Tonight" with this same line up too. Also, it doesn't have J None, but "Hoist the Colours" is another fantastic one from these guys. It's from Pirates of the Caribbean 3 and they slayed!
Known as the theater kids of a cappella and one of top three most popular VoicePlay has always sounded great even through the many lineup changed they've gone through. I don't see them here so I'm going to include many of their more theatrical/movie videos in my recommendations. Friends On the Other Side from The Princess and the Frog was J None's first time back after leaving to sing for the navy. The Halo Theme saw the return of Scott Porter, an original member of VP. He's now know as an actor and was in the series Friday Night Lights. This is one of those videos that you have to keep watching after their little "subscribe our channel" push after the music for a message that should not be missed, something you have keep an eye out for in VoicePlay and Home Free videos. Boy Bands in 5 Minutes which gives you a quick glimpse of the guy Scott mentions dropping off a sandwich as well as the guys' spouses. The wonderful Queen in 5 Minutes where you see Earl's husband again, written around a real health scare. Phil Collins' In the Air Tonight. Golden Hour with Geoff's wife Kathy Castellucci. Seven Nation Army. My Mother Told Me and Valhalla Calling (Viking) and Hoist the Colorus (pirates). Kidnap the Sandy Claws, What's This?, and This is Halloween from The Nightmare Before Christmas. The Chipmunk Song (Christmas Don't Be Late), In My Room, and Bang! all ft. DeeJay Young. (Okay. I'll stop here. There's so many great ones.)
Welcome to the VoicePlay rabbit hole. This song is one that someone said couldn't be sung acapella. VoicePlay said really. Headphones are a requirement to listen to them. Another rabbit hole is the bass Geoff (Jeff ) Castellucci does LOW bass covers on his own channel. You will never be disappointed with VoicePlay #TheatreKidsOfACapella or Geoff Castellucci who some called the #Bass Master 3000.
I think you’d like their version of Warriors. It’s older, so there are a couple of different faces, but they’ve always been great. They also embrace the theatrical, so you might try Dragonborn Comes/Skyrim. I’ve subscribed to watch your VoicePlay journey!
I freaking loved this! One of the best and most entertaining first time reactions I’ve ever seen for VoicePlay. (The fans are legion, and we are loyal.) subscribed, and I would love to see more VoicePlay from you! I think you might like their recent cover of Seven Nation Army.
GREAT reaction, thank you! J None was a permanent member of the group - but the navy recruited him to sing for them. Now he comes back when he can to sing with VP as a featured performer. Geoff (Jeff) Castellucci is the bass voice you were raving about. He has his own channel too, & everything on it is top notch. The beatbox is Layne - but known as VioLayne on the very rare occasions he plays violin. The rock tenor is Eli (rhymes with jelly), and the last is Cesar - he has a soft, gorgeous, expressive voice but only had a small solo here. Cesar was the first and last singer in Creep...
Subbed for more Voice Play, Geoff, and more a cappella. It is a very rare occasion when Voiceplay will use an instrument, but when they do you will see it.
Acapella is a definite rabbit hole to explore. There's 3 major groups. Voice play, Pentatonix and Home Free. Each one as talented as the others but quite different. You should definitely check out the other two. Have fun, will probably be following your reactions. ✌️🙏❤️
VioLyne sticks again. Thus is only one of two times that Layne (vocal percussionist) has brought it out. The other time is in Warriors. He also arranges about half their songs. Next to Layne is Cesar the newest member of the group and a Sassy Angle that will shred your heartstrings. In the middle you have Eli (rhymes with jelly) the Rock God Tenor who is in charge of Lightning. He also helps with arrangements and they just released Creep that is his baby. Then J None who used to be a member, but was recruited by the Navy and comes back every time he has leave to sing with the guys. We're hoping when he finishes his 5 year stint (three more years) he'll come back as a permanent member again. Then you get Geoff (Jeff) the bass singer that everyone seems to love. He and Layne are founding member and does the other half of the arrangements. He also has his own channel where he does low bass covers. This group has never disappointed. They also give tribute to the original songs while turning it into thier own.
Gotta be honest. I pretty much freaked out the first time I heard it as well. fantastic reaction. Voice play does a lot of different genres, so it's kind of Difficult to peg down what To suggest next, but my God, that repertoire Is extensive. Nothing else matters is by far one of my favorite things that they released this year. And that's saying something because I loved everything that they released this year. And that is to say nothing of what they released in the previous years. If you're into fantasy, I would suggest hoist the colors, The dragonborn comes, my mother told me, valhalla calling. If you're looking for a more rock cover, they did a couple. Carry on wayward's son, Dream on, 7 nation army to name a few. They did a bunch of Disney covers which I would strongly recommend listening to for a good time. Go the distance, Friends on the other side, We don't talk about Bruno, The little mermaid and Moana medley. And seeing as we're getting into the season soon. I would suggest checking out some of their Halloween stuff. Also, the bass who is geoff castellucci. He does his own solo work. Strongly recommend Over the misty mountains cold, I see fire, The reigns of castamere, House of the rising sun, And ghost riders in the sky. And that is to start with. good luck. Lol 😆 🤣 😂
Oh, you are in for one hell of a rabbithole if you dive into Voiceplay! (And your channel will blow up with Voiceplay fans too. 😁) A lot of what you need to know about them has already been said in previous comments, so I won't repeat myself, but I can definitely offer some recommendations for future viewing to get you started, especially now you know about their 'guest' format (which us Voiceplay fans suspect is their strategy to hold open J.None's place in the group until he finishes his stint in the Navy.) For more J.None goodness, there's the Phil Collins classic 'In The Air Tonight,' 'Valhalla Calling' from Miracle of Sound and 'My Mother Told Me' (with guest Hose Rosario Jr, prior to Cesar becoming a permanent member.) For covers with Anthony Gargiula (who is the absolute king of gorgeous riffs and vocal runs) there's White Stripes 'Seven Nation Army' and Radiohead's 'Creep,' and for Omar Cardona (who has a beautiful breathy tenor voice) there's Kansas' 'Carry On Wayward Son,' 'The Dragonborne Comes' from the Skyrim game series and Aerosmith's 'Dream On.' And of course there's LOADS more, but that should be enough to start with...!
What an absolutely fun and amazing reaction. You might just be the most genuinely surprised and excited I have ever seen on a first time Voiceplay reaction. It was great!! Subscribed and putting on my seat belt.
They are all so talented, it's unbelievable! 🤯 Voices from left to right: Geoff (pronounced like Jeff - master bass + awesome range), JNone (ex-member, now with the Navy - baritone +), Eli (pronounced like Ellie - rock tenor), Cesar (baritone/tenor), Layne (freak of percussion - baritone). Geoff and Layne do most of the arrangements. Eli always works de lights, and he just did an amazing arrangement of Creep by Radiohead; you should check it out! Welcome to the VoicePlay fantastic world! 🔥
J None was VPs baritone before being recruited into the US Navy for his vocal talents. He's done 2 yrs - 3 to go. He said he'd be back and has come back regularly while on leave to do some of the big videos as well as the shorts. Friends on the Other Side, this one, Valhalla Calling (Miracle of Sound), In The Air Tonight (Phil Collins). They've been singing since middle and high school about 25 yrs. Geoff (bass) and Layne (beatboxer, baritone and classical violinist as well as having 2 nicknames - Carrot Lord (loves torturing J None with raw carrots) and VioLayne (he's only done 2 videos with the violin but both are wonderful - Warriors (Imagine Dragons). Layne plays all the way through and beatboxes, and J None does a few lines on his violin. The bald tenor in the center is Eli (rhymes with jelly) and he was in a different but fairly close school to Geoff and Layne. Their schools competed against each other. Eli was in some rock bands prior to joining VoicePlay in 2010 or so. Earl isn't in this one but he was an original member but about 2 or 3 yrs ago, he left for personal reasons. You can hear him in Warriors, Queen in 5 Minutes and many more. VoicePlay has well over 800 videos. Cesar, the fellow beside Layne is the newest member, has a glorious voice in baritone and tenor range (Hear him hit Stephen Tyler's highest notes in Dream On. Geoff says he keeps them young and brings coffee. VoicePlay members have all worked with the theme parks in Orlando, Disney, Universal and more. They found a lot of great singers to fill in when J None isn't around. It gives them an edge when arranging their music (Geoff and Layne usually take turns producing the video but Eli has done Eleanor Rigby and recently Creep). They like the freedom to do all of their productions so they have no contract with labels. A few you might enjoy: Valhalla Calling (Miracle of Sound gave them 10 raised alehorns), Carry On My Wayward Son (Kansas), Tennessee Whiskey (Chris Stapleton), In the Hall of the Mountain King (Edvard Grieg 1875 w.trolls), In the Air Tonight (Phil Collins), Seven Nation Army (White Stripes), Hoist the Colours (Pirates of the Caribbean), Dragonborn Comes Skyrim will get you started - Keep the Oogie Boogie's song and Wicked for Halloween. Geoff Castellucci has an amazing group of solo (he usually takes all 4 parts and does it in) . He has a true 5 octave range from A0 (growl), B0 (subharmonics), F#1 (full chest voice), used to have an A5 live on stage doing Elvira, but recently has boosted that high note to Ab5 in their short video Peaches sung in the mall outside a game store.
So glad you've found Voiceplay! Way to go Fusion for the dono request :D I hope you go down the rabbit hole a little bit :D they NEVER disappoint and always hit you with something new you won't expect.
Welcome to the rabbit hole and Geoff does have own TH-cam too. Any their songs are great like Dragonborn Comes, Valhalla Calling, My Mother Told Me, In The Air Tonight, Creep and any the Disney stuff too. Geoff has I See Fire, Sound Silence, Blackbird just to name a few.
Welcome to voiceplay! Buckle up, you're in for a ride! I'm new to your channel but judging your posters and stuff behind you, I think you'd absolutely love their covers of Dream On from Aerosmith and carry on wayward son. Also maybe seven nation army. Have fun! I'll be watching for more voiceplay or geoff castellucci (the bass in this group, solo channel) reactions! 💜💜
Desde Argentina!.. bienvenido al mundo Voiceplay!!!.. cada tema que descubras te volará la cabeza .. así que ponte el cinturón de seguridad y... Disfruta!... Jajajajajajaja
I have watched most reactions to this one by them but yours has been the most enjoyable to watch! Watching people experience Voiceplay for the first time is always fun to see too! Great reaction. PS.You have gained a new subscriber aswell.
Great reaction- thanks! I subscribed to your channel hoping to see more reactions to Voice Play and Geoff Castellucci (bass singer) solo channel. Voice Play is the best of the acapella groups as they are the most theatrical and can really rock out. Beatboxer, Layne, can beatbox while playing the violin so we call him "Violayne". For more with Layne playing violin, check out Voice Play's cover of "Warriors"(J None also plays violin in that one). J None was a member of Voice Play but left to join the navy. J None still comes back to sing with Voice Play frequently when he is on holiday leave; You will love J None in Voice Play's recently released "Valhalla Calling" from the Assassin's Creed game (J has a surprise talent in that one for you). So much talent besides the singing in this group as they have no record label or contract by choice and do everything (arrangements, production, lighting, costumes, etc) themselves. Check out their playlist- you will not be disappointed😃
And Hoist the Colours, and Valhalla Calling, and Carry On Wayward Son, and Warriors, and We Don't Talk About Bruno, and The Wellerman, and and and... XD
Welcome to your first Geoffquake, VioLayne, Rock God Eli, J. being J., and a somewhat unfortunately scant introduction to Cesar. I hope you'll continue to explore their catalog.and get to know them all better. :)
Absolutely love seeing new reactors to voiceplay. I've been subuscibed to their patreon for a few years now and they never disappoint. Subscribed to you and ready for more reactions. Welcome to the Voiceplay rabbit hole you're one of us now 😂
GREAT REACTION! Welcome to my favorite acapella group ever! Subscribing for more Voiceplay and Geoff Castellucci reactions (the bass who has his own channel) 😊
So happy to see a reaction from someone who knows the song! Watching your reaction was like seeing/hearing this song for the first time. This is considered the gateway song to Voice Play. Welcome aboard!
I love seeing someone “get Voiceplay” right off like you did. This is what they do: the playing is with your expectations. 😏 You need to check out their covers of In The Air Tonight: Phil Collins Creep: Radiohead Dream On: Aerosmith But nothing more than their cover of Valhalla Calling by Miracle of Sound is you really want to hear Geoff get down. He’s not pushing himself here. PS: Tell NeonDreams that Geoff will literally make you feel things. I’ve seen them live. You send Geoff through those massive speakers venues have and he will vibrate your entire skeleton. Literally. The ribs shake first, but he did a slide I swear ran right down my back.
Geoff Castellucci has incredible videos on his own channel as well. One of the lowest voices you'll hear, as well as one of the widest ranges. His solo work is equally as incredible as voiceplay and a must check out when you have the time. Also, an important note is that it's always just him in his videos. He will have multiple versions of himself on the screen, singing all the parts and harmonizing with himself. There's only a few older videos that he has other people in his videos. I personally recommend his cover of the sound of silence and black bird to get the majority of his range. And if you're a Hobbit fan, then you definitely have to check out his covers of far over the Misty mountains cold, and i see fire, specifically in that order. There's a lot more that are equally amazing, but those are to name a few. He also does some of the best Halloween themed covers.
Awesome reaction to an awesome video. Left to right.... Geoff (Jeff) Castelucci - basss, arrangements. J None - baritone, former member. Eli (el lee) Jacobson - tenor, rock tenor, lighting. Cesar De La Rosa - baritone, tenor. Layne Stein - beatboxer, baritone, arrangements. Layne's nickname in this and their Warriors video is VioLayne because of the violin he's playing in both. Otherwise he's the Carrot Lord (running joke Layne did to J None many times when he was a member. And in various videos. Very prominent in their Hall of The Mountain King video. Just 5 trolls throwing in ingredients to better their singing voices while singing an orchestra piece from a play.
So, let's see if you do some more VP reactions... well done, this one! NEM is one of my most favorite... but there is no "bad" song! If you want to hear Layne (the beatboxer & violin player) sing: go for "True colors" - different, but VERY beautiful... 🎉😊❤
I'm a Mozart over Metallica kind of girl. I'd never even heard this song before (I absolutely "hate" metal and don't listen to Metallica--if you like metal, great! Just not my cup of tea.). The biggest compliment I can give to VoicePlay is that I could listen to this without turning it off in disgust! This was a fun reaction!
Loved your reaction! Liked and subscribed, hoping to see you check out more VoicePlay and their bass singer, Geoff Castellucci's solo work in his own channel!
Yeah Geoff makes me feel things I definitely never thought I'd feel before. He's very attractive too. The bald guy is a beast too. I'm not crushing on them at all haha. This group is beyond insane. If you want to hear more inhuman low notes, check out Geoff Castellucci's solo channel.
If you are going to react to this group more, Geoff is the bass for this group, not baritone. He has a octave range, so on occasion he can reach baritone levels into tenor, but he is PRIMARILY a bass, not a baritone.

Sorry I made a mistake everyone. I called Geoff the baritone. He is clearly the bass. My bad!
Actually Geoff refuses to call himself a bass, he still maintains that he is baritone with bass and tenor ranges. He recently explained this in an interview with Peter Barber, a bass opeeratic singer. Worth seeing to understand the man, the myth, the legend. Left to right: Geoff Castellucci, J.None, Eli Jacobson, Cesar de la Rosa, Layne Stein. aka VioLayne. And yes, they have that effect on most people. :)

He did a recent interview with Peter Barber. They discussed baritone vs bass.. Geoff has said that he's a baritone with a bass range... whatever his range is, it's phenomenal. 😃
There are... discussions about that.
Don't sweat it. We all love Geoff for his five octave range. He sings as well in high tenor as he does in low bass.
You will see.
00:38 DPD: Oh, that's the guitar part, right?...I wasn't ready.
00:49 VoicePlay: You're still not ready.
Hands down....the best reaction!!! Love it when someone new to VP opens the journey with Nothing Else Matters. Now you might be ready for VP Valhalla Calling, Creep, Hoist The Colours, Seven Nation Army, Golden Hour, Dragonborn Comes, Dream On, Warriors, 21 Pilots Mashup, If I were a Rich Man / Rich Girl, In the Air Tonight...so many more. Enjoy the ride!! Following you for your next "BLOWN AWAY" moment!! They come quickly and often...like every song!
Thank you!! I can’t wait to go down the VP rabbit hole!
Looks like another reactor will be going down the VP rabbit hole. You can pretty much pick anything by them and be floored
Welcome to voiceplay! Us VoicePlayas are very loyal to our lovable goofs.
The most fun is seeing someone hear Voiceplay for the first time.
They have no label, no manager, are totally self funded, primarily through a very dedicated fanbase on Patreon. They do everything themselves. Arrangement, production, edit, lights, camera, makeup, costume. Most arrangements are done by either Geoff Castellucci (bass) or Layne Stein (beatbox). This one was Geoff's, go for In the Air Tonight, it's Layne's arrangement.
Then react to their most recent cover, Creep. That one was Eli Jacobson's (bald tenor). He does their lighting and effects and occasionally arranges.
Take my suggestions, or just pick from their catalogue. They can do any genre, and can go fully theatrical (Dragonborn Comes).
Great reaction, I am subscribed in anticipation of more Voiceplay and Geoff.
And Voiceplay breaks another reactor 😂 Welcome to the rabbit hole 😊
You have just been transported to another dimension called "the a cappella rabbit hole!" Enjoy the ride!k LOL LOL LOL
Voiceplay "In the Air Tonight", "Dream On". The list can go on... Love the reaction. Take Care & God Bless.
You NEED to check out their covers of 'Seven Nation Army' and 'Creep'!
Oh, Also, Geoff Castelluci (bass) has his own channel and does some amazing covers as well. Another rabbit hole for you to go down.
Love it when we see a reactor react to Voiceplay for the first time. You didnt disappoint 😂. Subscribing in anticipation of more Voiceplay and subsequently Geoff Castellucci on his solo channel. ❤
My favorite thing... watching someone experience VoicePlay for the first time! Layne is an incredible beatboxer, and also studied violin for many years. Fans have named him VioLayne.
The Voiceplay and the adjacent Geoff Castellucci rabbit holes are a lot of fun to go down. You can't go wrong with anything on either channel.
Welcome to the Voiceplay rabbit hole! We have carrots! Love watching people react to them for the first r me and yours was great. They are amazing.
From left to right - Geoff (Jeff)Castellucci, bass. As others said, he has his own solo channel and an amazing range. He also arranged this song.
J. None - currently in the Navy but rejoins the group when he can.
Eli (rhymes with Jelly) Jacobson - rock god, amazing tenor.
Cesar de la Rosa - newest member, has a sweet bari tenor voice that continues to surprise us
Finally, Layne Stein vocal percussion and violin (AKA VioLayne).
Only has brought out the violin on a couple of songs but has been playing since he was a kid. He and Geoff usually trade off arranging songs for the group, but their latest, Creep, was arranged by Eli.
They are independent artists and do pretty much everything themselves. Layne owns a production studio along with former member Tony Wachim and most videos are filmed there.
Pretty much any Voiceplay song you pick is great, especially everything they've done in 2023.
🥕🥕🥕
😂🤣😂
Now you're obligated to explain the carrot theme!
😉😁
I second everything Beth said ❤❤❤❤❤
Welcome to VoicePlay!
Welcome to Voiceplay's rabbit hole. One of the most beautiful rabbit holes to get lost into. 🙂
I simply LOVE to see someone react to Voiceplay for the very first time. 😁
This particular one broke pretty much EVERY reactor that did it 😅.
But there are oh so many others... Pretty much everything you can find on their channel. 🙂
Of course they improved along the years, especially on the video side, but even the oldest ones of their video are amazing. 🙂
Just subscribed in anticipation of more Voiceplay 🙂.
BTW, Geoff ("Jeff") Castellucci, the bass singer, has his own solo channel, which is another rabbit hole in itself and a very good one too. In those video, that he calls "Low Bass singer covers", he ususally "multiplies" himself digitally, often with different makeups and/or outfits, and sings ALL the parts... He has 5 octaves range, and sings gorgeous at any height 🙂. Just choose one that entices you and watch it, you won't be disappointed... 😁
See you next time!
Welcome, welcome, welcome to the VP rabbit hole. They do all kinds of covers, but it seems like you have an affinity for classic rock and they have some outstanding covers. They recently released CREEP by Radiohead. They've done Carry On My Wayward Son, Dream On, and so many more! And yes, the violin...they have given him the nickname VioLayne. He also plays it in their Warriors video. I think you'll enjoy this group!
This was pretty much my reaction to VoicePlay a year and half ago and I've never looked back. 😂
Loved your reaction! ❤
They have a killer cover of "In The Air Tonight" with this same line up too. Also, it doesn't have J None, but "Hoist the Colours" is another fantastic one from these guys. It's from Pirates of the Caribbean 3 and they slayed!

GREAT reaction, thank you! J None was a permanent member of the group - but the navy recruited him to sing for them. Now he comes back when he can to sing with VP as a featured performer. Geoff (Jeff) Castellucci is the bass voice you were raving about. He has his own channel too, & everything on it is top notch. The beatbox is Layne - but known as VioLayne on the very rare occasions he plays violin.

Subbed for more Voice Play, Geoff, and more a cappella.
It is a very rare occasion when Voiceplay will use an instrument, but when they do you will see it.
I had so much fun watching your reaction! Please do more Voiceplay.
Acapella is a definite rabbit hole to explore. There's 3 major groups. Voice play, Pentatonix and Home Free. Each one as talented as the others but quite different. You should definitely check out the other two. Have fun, will probably be following your reactions. ✌️🙏❤️

Gotta be honest. I pretty much freaked out the first time I heard it as well. fantastic reaction. Voice play does a lot of different genres, so it's kind of Difficult to peg down what To suggest next, but my God, that repertoire Is extensive. Nothing else matters is by far one of my favorite things that they released this year. And that's saying something because I loved everything that they released this year. And that is to say nothing of what they released in the previous years. If you're into fantasy, I would suggest hoist the colors, The dragonborn comes, my mother told me, valhalla calling. If you're looking for a more rock cover, they did a couple. Carry on wayward's son, Dream on, 7 nation army to name a few. They did a bunch of Disney covers which I would strongly recommend listening to for a good time. Go the distance, Friends on the other side, We don't talk about Bruno, The little mermaid and Moana medley. And seeing as we're getting into the season soon. I would suggest checking out some of their Halloween stuff. Also, the bass who is geoff castellucci. He does his own solo work. Strongly recommend Over the misty mountains cold, I see fire, The reigns of castamere, House of the rising sun, And ghost riders in the sky. And that is to start with. good luck. Lol 😆 🤣 😂
Oh, you are in for one hell of a rabbithole if you dive into Voiceplay! (And your channel will blow up with Voiceplay fans too. 😁) A lot of what you need to know about them has already been said in previous comments, so I won't repeat myself, but I can definitely offer some recommendations for future viewing to get you started, especially now you know about their 'guest' format (which us Voiceplay fans suspect is their strategy to hold open J.None's place in the group until he finishes his stint in the Navy.)
For more J.None goodness, there's the Phil Collins classic 'In The Air Tonight,' 'Valhalla Calling' from Miracle of Sound and 'My Mother Told Me' (with guest Hose Rosario Jr, prior to Cesar becoming a permanent member.) For covers with Anthony Gargiula (who is the absolute king of gorgeous riffs and vocal runs) there's White Stripes 'Seven Nation Army' and Radiohead's 'Creep,' and for Omar Cardona (who has a beautiful breathy tenor voice) there's Kansas' 'Carry On Wayward Son,' 'The Dragonborne Comes' from the Skyrim game series and Aerosmith's 'Dream On.' And of course there's LOADS more, but that should be enough to start with...!
Voiceplay is just incredible. They've been steadily getting better and better over the last 3-4 years!
Great reaction to the best A Capella on the planet. Looking forward to more reactions to VoicePlay!
What an absolutely fun and amazing reaction. You might just be the most genuinely surprised and excited I have ever seen on a first time Voiceplay reaction. It was great!! Subscribed and putting on my seat belt.
They are all so talented, it's unbelievable! 🤯
Voices from left to right: Geoff (pronounced like Jeff - master bass + awesome range), JNone (ex-member, now with the Navy - baritone +), Eli (pronounced like Ellie - rock tenor), Cesar (baritone/tenor), Layne (freak of percussion - baritone). Geoff and Layne do most of the arrangements. Eli always works de lights, and he just did an amazing arrangement of Creep by Radiohead; you should check it out!
Welcome to the VoicePlay fantastic world! 🔥
J None was VPs baritone before being recruited into the US Navy for his vocal talents. He's done 2 yrs - 3 to go. He said he'd be back and has come back regularly while on leave to do some of the big videos as well as the shorts. Friends on the Other Side, this one, Valhalla Calling (Miracle of Sound), In The Air Tonight (Phil Collins). They've been singing since middle and high school about 25 yrs. Geoff (bass) and Layne (beatboxer, baritone and classical violinist as well as having 2 nicknames - Carrot Lord (loves torturing J None with raw carrots) and VioLayne (he's only done 2 videos with the violin but both are wonderful - Warriors (Imagine Dragons). Layne plays all the way through and beatboxes, and J None does a few lines on his violin. The bald tenor in the center is Eli (rhymes with jelly) and he was in a different but fairly close school to Geoff and Layne. Their schools competed against each other. Eli was in some rock bands prior to joining VoicePlay in 2010 or so. Earl isn't in this one but he was an original member but about 2 or 3 yrs ago, he left for personal reasons. You can hear him in Warriors, Queen in 5 Minutes and many more. VoicePlay has well over 800 videos. Cesar, the fellow beside Layne is the newest member, has a glorious voice in baritone and tenor range (Hear him hit Stephen Tyler's highest notes in Dream On. Geoff says he keeps them young and brings coffee. VoicePlay members have all worked with the theme parks in Orlando, Disney, Universal and more. They found a lot of great singers to fill in when J None isn't around. It gives them an edge when arranging their music (Geoff and Layne usually take turns producing the video but Eli has done Eleanor Rigby and recently Creep). They like the freedom to do all of their productions so they have no contract with labels. A few you might enjoy: Valhalla Calling (Miracle of Sound gave them 10 raised alehorns), Carry On My Wayward Son (Kansas), Tennessee Whiskey (Chris Stapleton), In the Hall of the Mountain King (Edvard Grieg 1875 w.trolls), In the Air Tonight (Phil Collins), Seven Nation Army (White Stripes), Hoist the Colours (Pirates of the Caribbean), Dragonborn Comes Skyrim will get you started - Keep the Oogie Boogie's song and Wicked for Halloween. Geoff Castellucci has an amazing group of solo (he usually takes all 4 parts and does it in) . He has a true 5 octave range from A0 (growl), B0 (subharmonics), F#1 (full chest voice), used to have an A5 live on stage doing Elvira, but recently has boosted that high note to Ab5 in their short video Peaches sung in the mall outside a game store.
So glad you've found Voiceplay! Way to go Fusion for the dono request :D I hope you go down the rabbit hole a little bit :D they NEVER disappoint and always hit you with something new you won't expect.
Is there actually such a thing as going down the rabbit hole 'a little bit'?
I have subscribed in hopes of seeing more of VoicePlay and Geoff on your channel.😊
Welcome to the rabbit hole and Geoff does have own TH-cam too. Any their songs are great like Dragonborn Comes, Valhalla Calling, My Mother Told Me, In The Air Tonight, Creep and any the Disney stuff too. Geoff has I See Fire, Sound Silence, Blackbird just to name a few.
Welcome to voiceplay! Buckle up, you're in for a ride! I'm new to your channel but judging your posters and stuff behind you, I think you'd absolutely love their covers of Dream On from Aerosmith and carry on wayward son. Also maybe seven nation army. Have fun! I'll be watching for more voiceplay or geoff castellucci (the bass in this group, solo channel) reactions! 💜💜
Desde Argentina!.. bienvenido al mundo Voiceplay!!!.. cada tema que descubras te volará la cabeza .. así que ponte el cinturón de seguridad y... Disfruta!... Jajajajajajaja
I have watched most reactions to this one by them but yours has been the most enjoyable to watch!
Watching people experience Voiceplay for the first time is always fun to see too! Great reaction.
PS.You have gained a new subscriber aswell.
Thank you so much for your kind words and welcome to the channel! Can't wait to react to more Voiceplay!
@@DeskPopDaveReacts you won’t regret going down the Voiceplay rabbit hole.
Great reaction- thanks! I subscribed to your channel hoping to see more reactions to Voice Play and Geoff Castellucci (bass singer) solo channel. Voice Play is the best of the acapella groups as they are the most theatrical and can really rock out. Beatboxer, Layne, can beatbox while playing the violin so we call him "Violayne". For more with Layne playing violin, check out Voice Play's cover of "Warriors"(J None also plays violin in that one). J None was a member of Voice Play but left to join the navy. J None still comes back to sing with Voice Play frequently when he is on holiday leave; You will love J None in Voice Play's recently released "Valhalla Calling" from the Assassin's Creed game (J has a surprise talent in that one for you). So much talent besides the singing in this group as they have no record label or contract by choice and do everything (arrangements, production, lighting, costumes, etc) themselves. Check out their playlist- you will not be disappointed😃
Great reaction! Welcome to the Voiceplay/ Geoff Castellucci (bass) rabbit hole. Enjoy 😊
So good Dave as always!! Keep grinding your reacts are great!! See ya on twitch.
Loved your reaction to discovering these amazingly talented guys. Hope to see you react to more of their stuff! ❤
We call the beatboxer VioLayne from his two times he has played it in Voiceplay videos.
you might also like their version of dream on, 7 nation army and creep ❤🏴
And Hoist the Colours, and Valhalla Calling, and Carry On Wayward Son, and Warriors, and We Don't Talk About Bruno, and The Wellerman, and and and... XD
Welcome to your first Geoffquake, VioLayne, Rock God Eli, J. being J., and a somewhat unfortunately scant introduction to Cesar. I hope you'll continue to explore their catalog.and get to know them all better. :)
Absolutely love seeing new reactors to voiceplay. I've been subuscibed to their patreon for a few years now and they never disappoint. Subscribed to you and ready for more reactions. Welcome to the Voiceplay rabbit hole you're one of us now 😂
GREAT REACTION! Welcome to my favorite acapella group ever! Subscribing for more Voiceplay and Geoff Castellucci reactions (the bass who has his own channel) 😊
Wonderful reaction! Looks like you loved the song as much as I do! Thanks!
Absolutely loved your reaction to this VP. Not normally an introduction video to them but one of their best(not that there is a bad one)
This was great! Please check out Creep by Voiceplay (and Oogie boogie’s song to see how Geoff really shows off his range!)!
So happy to see a reaction from someone who knows the song! Watching your reaction was like seeing/hearing this song for the first time. This is considered the gateway song to Voice Play. Welcome aboard!
This is the best reaction to this VoicePlay cover ever. Cover some of their other stuff. You will be so pleased, and so will we.
GREAT first reaction to this amazing group! I look forward to more!
Awesome reaction....this is one of my favorite Metallica songs, and it is an awesome arrangement.
Cool reaction!! Voiceplay = amazing
Thank you!! 😁
Loved the reaction!
So you saw how their cover of Dream On came up as a recommendation at the end? Yeah, you should listen to the algorithm. Dream On needs to happen.
I love seeing someone “get Voiceplay” right off like you did. This is what they do: the playing is with your expectations. 😏
You need to check out their covers of
In The Air Tonight: Phil Collins
Creep: Radiohead
Dream On: Aerosmith
But nothing more than their cover of Valhalla Calling by Miracle of Sound is you really want to hear Geoff get down. He’s not pushing himself here.
PS: Tell NeonDreams that Geoff will literally make you feel things. I’ve seen them live. You send Geoff through those massive speakers venues have and he will vibrate your entire skeleton. Literally. The ribs shake first, but he did a slide I swear ran right down my back.
It’s not a fiddle in this context it is a violin.
Ya I realized that when I was editing! My bad!
Geoff Castellucci has incredible videos on his own channel as well. One of the lowest voices you'll hear, as well as one of the widest ranges. His solo work is equally as incredible as voiceplay and a must check out when you have the time.
Also, an important note is that it's always just him in his videos. He will have multiple versions of himself on the screen, singing all the parts and harmonizing with himself. There's only a few older videos that he has other people in his videos.
I personally recommend his cover of the sound of silence and black bird to get the majority of his range. And if you're a Hobbit fan, then you definitely have to check out his covers of far over the Misty mountains cold, and i see fire, specifically in that order. There's a lot more that are equally amazing, but those are to name a few. He also does some of the best Halloween themed covers.
Awesome reaction to an awesome video.
Left to right....
Geoff (Jeff) Castelucci - basss, arrangements.
J None - baritone, former member.
Eli (el lee) Jacobson - tenor, rock tenor, lighting.
Cesar De La Rosa - baritone, tenor.
Layne Stein - beatboxer, baritone, arrangements.
Layne's nickname in this and their Warriors video is VioLayne because of the violin he's playing in both. Otherwise he's the Carrot Lord (running joke Layne did to J None many times when he was a member. And in various videos. Very prominent in their Hall of The Mountain King video. Just 5 trolls throwing in ingredients to better their singing voices while singing an orchestra piece from a play.
You would like Dragonborn comes by Voice play
So, let's see if you do some more VP reactions... well done, this one! NEM is one of my most favorite... but there is no "bad" song! If you want to hear Layne (the beatboxer & violin player) sing: go for "True colors" - different, but VERY beautiful... 🎉😊❤
Already recorded my reaction to "Seven Nation Army" will be posting this week!
@@DeskPopDaveReacts great! Looking forward to it... 😊
I'm a Mozart over Metallica kind of girl. I'd never even heard this song before (I absolutely "hate" metal and don't listen to Metallica--if you like metal, great! Just not my cup of tea.). The biggest compliment I can give to VoicePlay is that I could listen to this without turning it off in disgust! This was a fun reaction!
Loved your reaction! Liked and subscribed, hoping to see you check out more VoicePlay and their bass singer, Geoff Castellucci's solo work in his own channel!
Yeah Geoff makes me feel things I definitely never thought I'd feel before. He's very attractive too. The bald guy is a beast too. I'm not crushing on them at all haha. This group is beyond insane. If you want to hear more inhuman low notes, check out Geoff Castellucci's solo channel.
Jeff is the bass he can go suboctave and high
if you think geoff hits low notes on this? you ain't heard nothing yet.....lol
I think only Pentatonix is on a par with Voiceplay. I actually prefer them a little, especially their bass, Avi.
If you are going to react to this group more, Geoff is the bass for this group, not baritone. He has a octave range, so on occasion he can reach baritone levels into tenor, but he is PRIMARILY a bass, not a baritone.
My bad! I apologize. I’ll get it right next time!
