I've dabbled in beatboxing and I'd consider myself a decent bass singer but I'd have to learn how to do both at the same time because to me it's pretty hard
I am endlessly amused that Lucci Beatboxing Hands are a different variation from the classic Lucci Singing Hands. Also, thank you for providing me with archival footage that I hadn't seen before!
Guys, he's still beat boxing...he does it all the time. The real kick is that he mixes his subharmonics and beat boxing to back up and boost Layne's primary rhythmic sounds, plus with his own music a little. Listen/watch the Voiceplay videos closely...you'll find it.
Live he might do it, but beyond using bass notes to amplify certain of Layne's bass kicks, I'm fairly certain he usually doesnt on the videos. Layne will add multiple tracks of himself if needed for the music videos.
@@huldradracoYes got the videos it’s all Layne with multiple tracks, but in some live performances I’m pretty sure he does some downbeats occasionally Also in his own music on his channel he 100% has vocal percussion mixed in there
@@JoeyLeBlancMusic he uses his keyboard and samples to make the drum tracks for his solo work, not vocal percussion. As a patron we get to ask him question and also participate in session walkthroughs on some of his songs where he breaks down all the little details he's done in the songs. And he uses samples for every little sound in the percussion tracks.
I love Death of a Bachelor but more because it gives Earl a chance to shine. We are used to hearing his high high tenor but hearing how beautiful his voice is at a lower range is just gorgeous.
Awesome! I have been wondering about this lol. Also turns out the songs you showed here with Geoff as Beatboxer (and bass at the same time dang!) were the same songs that when I heard them on Spotify I felt like it wasn't Layne beatboxing and that it sounded more like Geoff. though I am not sure how I guessed that...
His combo of bass and beatboxing reminds me a bit of Barry Carl (former bass of Rockapella) from the Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego days. In fact, I think Geoff mentioned Barry Carl being an inspiration to him.
Was kann er eigentlich nicht? Vielen Dank liebe Huldra! Durch dich lerne ich immer mer von Geoff und VP kennen. Ich glaube, da gibt es noch ganz viel zu entdecken😊
Actually @@schlumpfinchen82 I think he does some of the country music jodels in a couple of songs😊 @huldradraco perhaps another idea for a compilation?
from what it sounds like to me, with my noob ears, it sounds like he alternates between them. he does a bass note, then a percussion sound, then a bass note again. he doesnt make both at the same time. but man, the amount of breath control to keep that going for an extended time.... you really would need to have a lot of the percussive sounds be on breathing in instead of out to have the breath to keep going...
@@huldradraco But I don't hear any break in tone while I hear a percussion note. Listen from 3:35 to 3:40. Yes there are breaks in the bass notes to follow the rhythm, but at times I swear I am hearing both percussion notes *and* bass at the same time and that is what I don't understand.
@@DynMads ohhh, that part is a partwork song. Geoff and Eli are singing it by themselves, with 3 Eli's and 2 Geoff's. one Geoff does bass, and one Geoff does percussion.
@@DynMads ahh, I didn't think about that particular clip coming long after the info about him sometimes doing bass and beatboxing at the same time while in a quartet, could be interpreted as him doing that there as well, since its from the same video as shown early on where he's just doing beatboxing. my apologies for that, I just wanted to end on something other than xmas music, lol.
Geoff is so underrated & it breaks my heart. All the members of Voice Play are so underrated. If more people only knew everything about their talents the other groups would become runners up.
Thank you for this! I always make sure to read your comments along with a handful of others because you all know so much about Geoff and the guys. Subscribed. So I’ll be watching anything else you do.
Талантливый человек талантлив во всём,я очень рада,что он стал петь,и открыл для нас свой неповторимый голос! Басс это стержень гармонии в а капелле. Я просто восхищаюсь им.
in Geoff's solo work there is no beatboxing, just instruments. in VP's work, there is a little here and there, but they always show Geoff beatboxing if he is beatboxing. he mainly amplifies Layne's bass kicks if need be, they make up the rhythm section after all 🙂
@@huldradraco Okay just rewatched this, and I have to ask...where Geoff is sitting on the stool, all in black, is he rocking a Wolverine look, muttonchop-wise, or have I just seen Deadpool and Wolverine one too many times?💙
@@anubiskingjensharp1965 I thought that looked like Earl but I wasn’t sure. But then he sang at the end “a happy new year“ and that was distinctly Earl.
I recognized Earl but not the other two guys. On my phone so the screen is small. Do you know their names, or the group? I know Geoff sang with several in the early days, plus there were iterations of 4:2:Five.
@@huldradraco Maybe he was lip syncing? I think that's Geoff, on the standard video, at 0.40: looks like he's doing the finger tap sound with his mouth.
@@ju1i319 I don't know. The line is thin, from a lot of beatboxers if it sounds like an instrument, its beatboxing. On this one its a distinct tapping sound that he makes at about 0:40. To me, that was def. beatboxing. You decide.
I just wish someone smarter than me would put together a compilation video of Geoff’s “c’mon”s. There must be at least 7 or 8 of them between his own videos and VoicePlay’s. There’s one in Seven Nation Army, 16 Tons, Way Down, Ghost Riders, etc., just to name a few!
@@huldradraco 2.25 min mark- the two gus in the midle. They are looking like twins. I do not know them. For me Geoff is on the right side of the screen.

Am I the only one who wants Geoff to make a beatbox tutorial video on his channel?
Haha that would be cool!!
I want it to happen
He definitely needs to do one
Want that too... for sure!!
Oh, it seems that I’m not the only one
I knew Geoff could beatbox but I didn't know he taught Layne and could do bass and beatboxing at the same time
always fun to learn new little facts, thanks for watching 😄
It’s not hard
I've dabbled in beatboxing and I'd consider myself a decent bass singer but I'd have to learn how to do both at the same time because to me it's pretty hard
Geoff is amazing at everything he does! I just melt away as soon as he opens his mouth! 💯
such a talented and hard working man ❤
@@huldradraco chill he is good at his work, not everything.
Me too❤
I am endlessly amused that Lucci Beatboxing Hands are a different variation from the classic Lucci Singing Hands. Also, thank you for providing me with archival footage that I hadn't seen before!
Haha, yes Geoff's hands move very differently while beatboxing, which makes it clear that his hands move without conscious thought 😄
@@huldradraco , well he IS Italian. I swear Italian babies come out of the womb moving their hands!
@@parkerbrown-nesbit1747 hehe, yeah he's very expressive with his hands while talking as well 😄
I am always fascinated watching his hands go as he sings..
@@kerrygrella9608 me too! my favorite video for his hands is God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen 😁
Just another reason to love Geoff more. Sigh LOL I want a Geoff and Layne beatbox battle. I really want that now.
Bring it on Geoff Castellucci

Earl does have a very nice low range 🙂

Damn! Simultaneously singing bass and beatboxing is something I didn’t think could be done!!
I definitely wouldnt be able to, lol 😅
Apparently Layne also did that at the parks. Such multi talented people!
The best way i can describe Geoff's voice is a cool warmth.
love his voice 🥰
His combo of bass and beatboxing reminds me a bit of Barry Carl (former bass of Rockapella) from the Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego days. In fact, I think Geoff mentioned Barry Carl being an inspiration to him.
Geoff is amazingly talented. I love him, thank you for the experience he provides with all his videos❤❤❤
Man he sings bass while beatboxing!!!!?!? Wow!!!
Lol yeah... can't imagine the focus and breath control needed for that... 😅
@@huldradraco yeah!!! Incredibly talented!!!!
If you think that's amazing, check out check out the beatboxers who compete in the GBB, you won't be disappointed
Watch k.o. from pentatonix play cello and beat box its amazing
Was kann er eigentlich nicht? Vielen Dank liebe Huldra! Durch dich lerne ich immer mer von Geoff und VP kennen. Ich glaube, da gibt es noch ganz viel zu entdecken😊
Such a talented and humble man! He’s also a cutie but the longer hair that he has now makes him even more smexier
The long hair definitely suits him!
Is there anything this man can't do?❤
I know, right? 😄
Perhaps jodeling? 😂
Actually @@schlumpfinchen82 I think he does some of the country music jodels in a couple of songs😊 @huldradraco perhaps another idea for a compilation?
The thing I can't quite wrap my head around is how you keep a clean tone while doing a beat without the beat also being reflected in the tone.
from what it sounds like to me, with my noob ears, it sounds like he alternates between them. he does a bass note, then a percussion sound, then a bass note again. he doesnt make both at the same time. but man, the amount of breath control to keep that going for an extended time.... you really would need to have a lot of the percussive sounds be on breathing in instead of out to have the breath to keep going...

I knew about the beatbox thing (Geoff and teaching Layne), but I never saw footage of Geoff "in action"! Thank you for sharing that! 🥰
you're welcome ❤
Didn’t knew he could and taught Layne, I knew he did it in some videos tho (partworks) thank you for this video ^^ //Sky
Thanks for watching! ♥️
Bass and beatboxing at the same time ... 😮
Yup, that has got to take a lot of focus! 😲
Toujours aussi classe, à fond dans le tempo et attachant, trop cool
That man is so multi talanted 🤩
he sure is! 🥰

So many talents ❤

Thank you so much!!! Merry Christmas to me early!!!

So very true hes wife is the luckiest woman on this earth
loved this, thank you!
Thanks for watching!
Wowww, that's skill.
I did not realize that geoff can do beatboxing. 😲😱😃
yep, he's no professional or anything, but he can do a regular drum set at least.
@@huldradraco Really?
God hes handsome
he's a good looking man, for sure 🙂
Wow I ne er knew this geoffs got talent❤
There is some beatbox in the last years uploads

Is there no end to this man's talents?
nope, lol. I think if he wants a new talent, he just sits down and learns one as needed 🤣
@@huldradraco Okay just rewatched this, and I have to ask...where Geoff is sitting on the stool, all in black, is he rocking a Wolverine look, muttonchop-wise, or have I just seen Deadpool and Wolverine one too many times?💙
@@DravenGal lol, it's just shadows making the sides look extra dark on his stubbles 😂
@@huldradraco Oh good, I don't think I could handle it if Geoff had a Hugh Jackman body as well...whew! 💙 **Fans self**
The combination of beatboxing and bass reminds me of the sound/feel of a slap bass
The Christmas one has Earl in it too doesn’t it?
yes, Earl is the high tenor singing with them there.
@@huldradraco kinda thought so his voice is distinctive
@@anubiskingjensharp1965 I thought that looked like Earl but I wasn’t sure. But then he sang at the end “a happy new year“ and that was distinctly Earl.

you missed the beatboxing on Once Upon a Dream
I can't say I've seen Geoff beatbox on that one, just Layne. unless you are talking about a live performance I missed?
@@huldradraco Maybe he was lip syncing? I think that's Geoff, on the standard video, at 0.40: looks like he's doing the finger tap sound with his mouth.

@@Aurora-cv5to Geoff is doing the domdomdomdoms. Layne is doing the kick and snare.
Okayyy i knew he beatboxed but didnt know he taught layne what de hel😂😂😂
fun to learn new stuff, thanks for watching! 😃
D low, Napom!
😎
No criticism just take a look!@@huldradraco
No one can liproll like Napom fr!
What that mouth do
Thanks for watching! 🙂
Is there anything this dude CANT do?
lol, he definitely has many talents!
No, he can do EVERYTHING
With short hair he looks like Lucifer
Hahaha 😆
for me i did not know he was good at beatbox
Thanks for watching 🙂
I just wish someone smarter than me would put together a compilation video of Geoff’s “c’mon”s. There must be at least 7 or 8 of them between his own videos and VoicePlay’s. There’s one in Seven Nation Army, 16 Tons, Way Down, Ghost Riders, etc., just to name a few!
I'll look into that. It might not be long enough for a full video though, so it might end up as a short instead.
Is that Earl singing lead in the last clip?
The very last clip is Eli. The one before that with them in front of the train, is Earl
Twins, there were twins?
Haha nope, just Geoff and his clones 😄
@@huldradraco no the other guys , the middle singers!
@@gene1star huh? I'm confused which guys you're talking about 😄
@@huldradraco 2.25 min mark- the two gus in the midle. They are looking like twins. I do not know them. For me Geoff is on the right side of the screen.
