The bass singer is Geoff Castellucci, one of the founding members of VoicePlay, and he arranged this song for them. During this particular song, when he isn't actually singing lyrics, he does his best imitation of a bass guitar - except Geoff has a slight problem of sometimes forgetting just how low a bass guitar can actually go, and he drops in a few notes that just aren't available to a bass guitar!
Voiceplay is unique in that they have the widest genre range of the acapella groups, they are fully independent and do their own arrangements, videos etc. with some hired help (like make-up artists and cams). They are incredibly talented and creative and have been dubbed the "theatre kids" of acapella for good reason. This one was more serious, but usually their offerings are highly engaging and entertaining in addition to their extraordinary vocals. As we are in spooky season you can definitely check out their Halloween offerings - there are loads to choose from and a new one is being released soon... Geoff is Uber base (but can also go incredibly high!), Eli (bald tenor) is affectionately called our Rock god (and also arranges), Cesar brings his beautiful voice and soul to the songs and is the newest (and youngest) member and Layne is the incredible beatboxer/baritone who also transformed into Violayne for this cover and handles the bulk of the arrangements in addition to Geoff. This is a ride you definitely want to go on. They're highly talented and deserves all the support in the world. Looking forward to more VP. 🌹🕊
Welcome to VoicePlay 😁 J.None is the second on the left and used to be a full-time member of the band but joined the navy and now pops by for visits every few months. I have great news and more great news! Good news: VoicePlay have been at this TH-cam schtick for many years and there are hundreds of fantastic videos for you to enjoy. They are all great! More Great news: the Bass singer Geoff Castellucci also has a brilliant solo channel where he sings in all the parts in his arrangements. And they are just as good as this one, because he arranged the music for this particular song (credits are always in the description with them) Though their Halloween stuff is particularly popular and very appropriate for this time of year, so maybe: This Is Halloween (VP), Jack's Lament (Geoff), Hall of the Mountain King (VP), Ghost Riders in the Sky (Geoff)🤔🤔 it is hard to pick
Seems to be your first Voiceplay reaction 😂😂. I love these signs of disbelief in the faces when people find the way into the rabbithole of Voiceplay. Just go through their channel - and perhaps Geoff's (the bass) channel too. Any song you will pick will leave you behind the same way. You just can't go wrong.
This is such a good starter song! You won't regret your VoicePlay journey! Wait'll you get into their more theatrical pieces! (Especially their Halloween piece this year, which I think may tbeir best yet. It's only on Patreon ATM.) They ARE the Theatre Kids of the Acappella Trifecta! But as this video proves, they can play it simple too! You won't see BioLayne (Layne Stein, the beatboxer) too much, but it's always a treat when he shows up. J. None is the handsome African American gent with the smooth soulful voice! And the bass, Geoff Castellucci, has his own channel of low bass covers! Don't miss it! Oh, and if you'd like some rules for watching (suggestions, really), and info on, VoicePlay let me know. I've been a VoicePlaya for a long time, kinda threw them together. But I'll only post them if you specifically write it's okay. Only one reactor out of dozens didn't appreciate it, but I still ask for permission first. 😊💙
Yes!!! My absolute favorite of the 3 groups! They are the best! I hope to see you reacting to more of them. And the bass, Geoff is particularly amazing 😅
It's wonderful when reactors discover VoicePlay and Geoff's solo channel. Subscribing and hoping for more on the work of these very talented folks! I love the way that they arrange music almost as much as their vocals.
🧨🧨🧨🧨🧨 .. Yes Sam .. Yes Yes Yes , you made it to the top 3 giants of the acapella world. Geoff Castalucci is the low low low singer. He actually has a bunch of videos with his solo stuff. He is surprising each time. Voiceplay always delivers with harmony , costumes and humor. I will recommend a few songs from Voiceplay 1 - "Hoist The Colors" 2 - "We Don't Talk About Bruno" Great reaction again Sam. I will be looking your next videos. 🌪️🌪️🌪️💧🎼💧🌪️🌪️🌪️
The bass sounds he can make are indeed because of practice... but mostly because he has a naturally very low voice, lol. The practice is what makes them sound so good! Also, we're hoping their Halloween song for this year comes out to the public on Friday, and you should DEFINITELY check that out!
There are lots of bass singers that have the same range as Geoff. Even go lower. But his tone is second to none. Others make sounds at really low notes. He sings words that are understandable. He's very unique
Geoff Castellucci (bass) on your left. Then JNone (real name Jesse Nunn III). As folks mentioned, he was the group's baritone from 2017-2021, but is now serving in the Navy so in this vid he's the guest artist. Then tenor Eli Jacobson. Then baritone Cesar DeLaRosa, JNone's replacement. Then beatboxer Layne Stein, who was the group's original baritone. You should check out Dream On, or Carry On Wayward Son. Or Tennessee Whiskey. Or some of the costume dramas. Get a better feel for the group's range of genre. Geoff has his own YT channel where he multitracks himself into 4 or 5 part harmonies. He also had some tutorial vids there on how to sing really low. Yes, he does claim that it's partly a matter of practice, altho genetics also plays a role. [He claims (elsewhere) to be a natural tenor.] To go low, he uses a combination of Growl, Vocal Fry, and Subharmonics. He learned the Growl (basically clearing your throat on pitch) from Tim Foust of Home Free.
Very subtle indeed... Great reaction. VP is a force of nature , very theatrical and entertaining in many of their videos. Their newest for example "Be Prepared" from The Lion King and their next offering for Halloween featuring J None again, a classic that their Patreon has been begging for for years. They have a "plethora" 😊of genres on their channel...
Geoff has that effect on a lot of people. 😆This video earned VoicePlay a call out of the blue to perform in concert with the band Chicago last year. They're just amazing--pick pretty much anything in their channel and I promise it will be well worth your time, but Hoist the Colours and Valhalla Calling are a couple of other particular favorites, and their new Halloween cover that should be dropping within the next couple of weeks is going to knock everyone's socks off. Liked and subscribed, hope to see you react to them again!
Appreciate honesty every time. This is a truly fun reaction. Love that you are learning new and more descriptive language. Words are my particular forte. I must sometimes force myself to use more simplistic language because I find many cannot understand. However, I do encourage you in your quest to achieve a better vocabulary. Loved your astonishment at Geoff's low notes. It is always enjoyable watching people respond to VP and Geoff for the first time. They are truly awesome in the original sense of the word.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
how Geoff sings that low? well, it's mostly genetics, he's born with the vocal cords of a bass. that gave him the starting point he needed to work on his voice over the past 3 decades to become the singer he is today, getting lower over time, and working hard to gain and keep the higher parts of his voice at the same time. so it's not something "everyone" can learn to do, you have to have the genetic starting point of at least being a baritone to be able to sing some upper bass notes. Geoff is a low bass.
If you want to get more Geoff, he also has his own channel (just search Geoff Castellucci its just his name) where he just released Song of Durin. And yep, its all him. If you thought this was good (and it is) you haven't seen anything yet.

VoicePlay's creativity is without equal, and they back it up with amazing vocals and serious production values.

Yes, love it. Geoff Castellucci and the gang are just amazing ❤❤ Welcome to a new rabbit hole

This is Halloween 🎃 that would be good I’ll go for that! Thanks a lot😀 I can’t wait to see more and thanks for watching👍🏼
@@Sam_TB it was a lovely reaction! 😁 just fyi, the group line up changed a few times throughout the years and that one has Earl in it and no Cesar
Mr. None is the second from the left. He sings in the Navy, but was a member of VoicePlay, he visits as often as he can.

That was awesome!!! Thank you!!!💛💛💛

That’s called Geoff Castelucci. He’s got the deepest bass voice but also about 5 octaves of range
Yes!!! My absolute favorite of the 3 groups! They are the best! I hope to see you reacting to more of them. And the bass, Geoff is particularly amazing 😅

Great reaction again Sam. I will be looking your next videos. 🌪️🌪️🌪️💧🎼💧🌪️🌪️🌪️
Sam, sir, He is one of the deepest bass singers and he has 5+ octaves (FACT) He can also sing tenor.
neighborly greetings

Go watch geoff castellucci (the bass) singing I see fire solo.... or voiceplay valhalla calling... he will break you
Your volume is one for us but good reaction!! Welcome to voiceplay 😊
What do you mean my volume is one? Can’t you hear it? 😅
If you want to get more Geoff, he also has his own channel (just search Geoff Castellucci its just his name) where he just released Song of Durin. And yep, its all him.
If you thought this was good (and it is) you haven't seen anything yet.
You know, you remind me a bit of James McAvoy!😊💙
hi Sam. you should try (five finger death punch - wrong side of heaven) and (Geoff Castellucci - ghost riders in the sky). have fun m8
Ren - Hi Ren? :)
