    Geoff Castellucci, the bass singer from VoicePlay, has more talents than meets the eye. Besides singing bass (and baritone and tenor) he also has some beatboxing skills that aren't often shown. After scouring the interwebs for rare footage of Geoff beatboxing, I have gathered a few clips here.
    Original footage from these videos:

    • Love Yourself - Justin...
    • Toxic Audio performing...
    • The Conductors - Hey S...

    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.

    • @huldradraco
      @huldradraco  ปีที่แล้ว +7

      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.

      @huldradraco  ปีที่แล้ว +4

      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...
