    In this particular song, Geoff stayed in his chest voice - he's known for getting super-low using subharmonic techniques, but in this one (one of the earliest on his solo channel) he stayed completely "natural". The lowest he gets in this one is a G#1. His lowest note in a video is a B0 - done with his a cappella vocal group VoicePlay, in their videos for the Halo theme, and one of their latest, Valhalla Calling.

      Except for that "super dramatic bend to an F#1". 🤫

    • @hugobasilio1303
      @hugobasilio1303 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      And the other one whereas he hits an F#1 from "Step Aside".

    • @ShadowMeister42
      @ShadowMeister42 11 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      He also hits an F#1 on the "walked to the mine" bit pure chest of course

      Almost sure he hits lower notes in the beginning of "The Dragonborn"

    • @Badger77722

      @@HolyNEvil666 I'm fairly confident that the lower note Geoff hits at the beginning of Dragonborn Comes is a C#1 - lower than anything he hits in this song (for which I appreciate the corrections!), but not quite as low as the B0 in Halo theme and Valhalla Calling. I've also heard that he momentarily hits an A0 in at least one song, but I can't really hear it, given that it's very short and my hearing isn't 100% anymore.

    I recently saw Geoff's cover of Ain't No Sunshine and it's quite impressive, with a creative arrangement that fits the lyrics well while also showcasing his wide range.

    Geoff is pronounced "Jeff". 🙂 Geoff sings all of the parts! Try Geoff's cover of House of the Rising Sun.

    Jeff has a 5 octave singing range not counting his sub-harmonic extra low bass...he a the bass for the acapella group Voiceplay, but his solo (doing all the parts himself) are epic...enjoy.

    • @jayvdw6360
      @jayvdw6360 หลายเดือนก่อน

      As much as I love Geoff, he does not have a 5 octave range if you don't count the extra range his subharmonic range.

  • @ericzeichert511
    @ericzeichert511 ปีที่แล้ว +16

    Geoff's catalogue, both solo and with Voiceplay is MASSIVE and I know he will NOT release a bad song. He does his own arranging, and has instructional videos on singing and arranging. This song was a 1950s original by bass singer Tennessee Ernie Ford, which is a CLASSIC.

    Bass players/singers are always underrated for their skills, everyone loves to hear their low notes, but the help hold the foundation of the songs together with the drums /beatboxers.
    You should really checkout Voiceplay where Geoff (Jeff) is not only their bass singer, between him and their beatboxer they arrange most of their songs. You'll love their newest song 7 Nation Army or Valhalla Calling where he reaches and sustains new lows 😊

  • @DavideBaroni
    @DavideBaroni ปีที่แล้ว +9

    If you love bass singing, , maybe you should try his version of "Far over the Misty Mountains cold". Less "groovy" (it's a totally different song, from "The Hobbit" movie...), but heck, it's so good (and yes, all 4 characters in the video are him). 🙂
    Or maybe "Ain't no sunshine", where he shows a good share of his 5 octaves range... and does a drop from "normal voice" to "sub-basement voice" faster than you can flip a coin. 😁
    Or his version of "The sound of silence"... I know, so many have already covered that song, but trust me, it's worth the listening 🙂.
    Or his latest release, "Man of constant sorrow"... 😁
    Or his version of "Till then", a WWII song, very romantic and touchy. 🙂
    Or his take on Elvis' "Way Down"... Hilarious, and that last note! 😅
    Or again, his Halloween releases... "Ghost riders in the sky", or for the sake of the super-duper low final note, "The Headless Horseman". 🙂
    See you next time! 🙂

    Love Geoff’s stuff. Would also recommend Far Over the Misty Mountains Cold, Rains of Castamere, and Ghost Riders in the Sky. Basically anything he’s done 😅. Others have commented this already, but his name is pronounced like Jeff ☺️. I was impressed that you pronounced his last name correctly haha

    Only 10 seconds in and you ask "How low can he sing?" and the answer is a resounding YES!
    More precisely Geoff (pronounced Jeff) roughly covers the left 2/3 of a piano. His lowest recorded note (so far) is a B0 in "Valhalla calling"
    Thank you for the fun reaction 👍

  • @BetsySchiller-sj2sm

    Between Far Over Misty Mountains, Headless Horseman, Monster Mash... As well as all of his work with Voiceplay really shows his range and highlights his low range signing

  • @Broomrider1492
    @Broomrider1492 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    If you would like to hear him sing really low. Go for his Game Of Thrones cover of "The Rains Of Castamere" Epic lows.

  • @richarddancer-w8c
    @richarddancer-w8c ปีที่แล้ว +5

    In case you didn't realize, All of the voices in the video are Geoff ( pronounced Jeff) recorded on multiple tracks. He has a 4 octave range. You MUST watch "Voiceplay Oogie Boogie's Song" to see him go from even higher than he did here to even LOWER than he did here....AND you'll split your sides laughing at the video.
    YOU are SO MUCH fun to watch-----I love you❤❤❤

  • @richardd3367
    @richardd3367 3 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    If you really want to hear him show off his range, watch him with his group Voiceplay singing "The Oogie Boogie Song". For extra fun, turn on the captions. 😊
    Also, for the other end of the scale (in Acapella) check out Pentatonix "Hallelujah".

    I love it when people discover Geoff for the first time. He has some really awesome covers on his solo channel, but you should really check him out with his a capella group, VoicePlay, too. Voiceplay is, in my opinion, hands down the most entertaining of the a capella groups out there right now.

  • @Aurora-cv5to
    @Aurora-cv5to ปีที่แล้ว

    You should listen to the acapella group, VoicePlay. Geoff is a founding member, sings bass, and arranges roughly 50% of their songs. AND - he often literally sings the bass lines as if he were a bass guitar - or sometimes, as a standing bass. It's STUNNING.

  • @nuvoclassic
    @nuvoclassic ปีที่แล้ว +2

    If you liked this tune, you should watch the new one: Man of Constant Sorrow. It's even more creative - plus MORE LOW notes! liked your reaction!

    His new release with Voiceplay... they always do a special one for Halloween and another for Christmas... is the villian's song Hellfire, from the Hunchback of Norte Dame... you will get to see his full range there. Welcome to Geoff, and Voiceplay.

  • @georgehardin3037

    The original by Tennessee Ernie Ford in the early '50s is one of the biggest selling records of all time. Give it a listen.

    While the rhythm of the song is very catchy and groovy, the lyrics certainly aren't. It deals with the exploitation of mine workers in mining towns back in the late 19th century. They were often paid in "mine scrip" which could only be exchanged in the company store for extortionate rates. Miners often had to go into debt just to cover their basic living expenses for food and rent. As they couldn't save up to leave the mining town, they were bound into a vicious cycle of working 12-16 hour days, exchanging all of their daily rates for food, then having to go into debt to buy their family clothing or shoes. That's what he's referring to in the chorus "St. Peter, don't you call me, cause I can't go, I owe my soul to the company store."
