Geoff Castellucci is amazing- he not only sang all those vocal lines, he arranged the piece (vocal tracks and instrumental), he conceptualized, produced and filmed the video, and then edited it. He recorded the music and did the initial mix before sending it on to Ed Boyer (who does the final mix for all the big a cappella groups; Geoff is a member of one, but more on that later). So he's not simply a one man band- he's a one man (plus his wife, Kathy) production company, with a little help from his friends. This video was filmed at Pattycake Productions, a video production studio owned by Geoff's very good friend Layne Stein (vocal percussionist of VoicePlay, the a cappella group where Geoff sings bass; he and Geoff trade off on arrangement/video duties for the group) and Tony Wakim (former VoicePlay baritone). The lighting was provided by Eli (rhymes with 'jelly') Jacobson; VoicePlay's tenor, lighting genius, voice actor, and occasional arranger. And if you think Geoff, solo, is impressive, you should hear VoicePlay as a whole. Each vocalist in the group brings a very different sound, but their synergy is sublime. Not only that, the creativity they bring to both the arrangement of songs, as well as the accompanying high-production videos, are unparalleled. Trust me, you will not be disappointed ducking down this rabbithole! My best suggestion as far as what to listen to next, is to look at their page and pick a song that appeals to you. You're not going to find a bad cover, although I will say that in the past couple years the guys have somehow found a new gear, and their latest releases have been... well, honestly, it's hard to find the right words to encompass what they're doing. Covering things like Metallica's 'Nothing Else Matters', Radiohead's 'Creep', Phil Collin's 'In The Air Tonight', Edvard Grieg's 'In the Hall of the Mountain King' (why yes, I did just take a hard right into classical there, and no, there are no lyrics to that piece)- big songs, and things you'd think were impractical for an a cappella group to attempt. Not so, if you're VoicePlay. It's just another challenge. They perform an expansive range of genres, have many featured vocalists (all amazing in their own ways), and don't be surprised to see some different faces as VoicePlay's lineup has changed over the years. It's a little confusing when you start, but the guys I mentioned above (Layne, Geoff, and Eli) are always there. I hope you'll consider checking them out- they are 100% independent, and don't have the promotion behind them that Home Free and PTX have, but they are easily on par with those groups. Personally, I think VoicePlay has them both beat in terms of creativity and pure artistic exploration of their craft.
@CynicalTesuji - !00% agree with this, I would add that VP have also done quite a few Disney medleys (not too surprising, as many of them have worked at either Disney or Universal theme parks, they are all Florida-based!), as well as covers that will tear at your heart like 'I Can't Make You Love Me' to covers of game-related ones like 'Dragonborn Comes' from Skyrim and the 'Halo' theme - another piece with no actual words to it - but even the composer of the original loved it! For Geoff's 'solo' work, Sixteen Tons, Big Bad John, Ghost Riders In The Sky and Way Down are just a few examples - but as others have said - you can't go wrong with any Geoff or Voiceplay cover!
Oh, this just isn't a rabbit hole. It's an entire solar system of worlds that you are going to discovery. Wait til Halloween, it's Geoff's specialty and Voiceplays. Good luck on your journey. I'm looking forward to this.
I love watching reactors find Geoff for the first time..... You were wonderful. Geoff is amazing, also the bass singer for an acapella band, Voiceplay which is wonderful!! Voiceplay stopped touring when Covid shut the world down. That's when Geoff started his solo channel. He released a new one today - Folsom Prison Blues. He does a variety of genres, he has done harmony on all but one, High and Dry, and shone his clones in all but one, Sound of Silence. Subscribed in anticipation of more Geoff (and Voiceplay)!
I don't know if you can handle this or not but I'm addition to all the singing and production and all that... He also plays the piano and harmonica and the instrumental aspects of the song are all plug ins that he performs on the keyboard. The talent is unending
Geoff is the bass in a top tier acapella group called Voiceplay. They are amazing, and very creative and versatile. Like Geoff, they do all their own arrangements, production, filming, editing, lighting. Arrangements are usually done by either Geoff or the beatboxer, Layne Stein.
A great singer and a great arranger as well! Don't see that anyone has said anything yet about him being a founding member of the accapella group VoicePlay. He obviously is the bass in that group and he and the beatboxer, Layne Stein, have been singing together in variations iterations of the group for over twenty years. I happened upon VoicePlay's version of Eleanor Rigby about a year and a half ago and was so intrigued by Geoff's singing (even though it wasn't nearly as deep as he performs in this song) that I immediately started watching more VoicePlay and Geoff's solo videos. And then became a patron of both after never having the slightest inclination to join anyone's Patreon. They are phenomenal and they basically do it all themselves. Layne and Geoff do almost all of the arrangements (although their tenor, Eli was the one to arrange Eleanor Rigby and just did the arrangement of their terrific version of 'Creep'. ) And Eli does the lighting and they do the staging, costuming and direct everything themselves and do all the video editing, so besides being immensely talented singers they are 'hands-on' for everything involved in their songs/videos. About the only thing they don't do is the more elaborate makeup and the camerawork (although Layne actually has done steadycam work for Geoff's videos). It's often said that Geoff is 'the gateway drug' into the VoicePlay world.
This is from the second Hobbit movie. He also did Far Over The Misty Mountains Cold from the first movie. He was so happy to get the Dwarfs back together for this video. Seems they were available. He just released Folsom Prison Blues this morning. Now you need to check out his group that he is bass for VoicePlay.
you guys SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO have to start watch ALL the Voiceplay videos...Their most recent video is Creep, but everything on their playlist is amazing.
Hey y'all! Welcome to the Geoff (and Voiceplay!) rabbit hole, from a new sub in the UK - you won't be disappointed! Geoff does all sorts, from Halloween (The Headless Horseman, Monster Mash) to Western (Ghost Riders in the Sky, Shenandoah) to Elvis (Way Down), From classics (House Of The Rising Sun, Aint' No Sunshiine) to mining songs (Sixteen Tons, Big Bad John) and anything inbetween! On top of that, Voiceplay (of which he is the bass - of course!) have their own range of amazing work, from Disney to Pirates, from Vikings to heart-wrenching classics such as 'I Can't Make You Love Me', from metal (Metallica's Nothing Else Matters) to rock (In The Air Tonight), and game-related covers (Dragonborn Comes from Skyrim and the Halo theme!) - just stick a pin in their playlists, you can't go wrong! 😁
Geoff castellucci house of the rising sun, blackbird, the rains of castamere guys. Flipping awesome. Voiceplay (his group), nothing else matters, the dragonborn comes, if I were a rich man/ girl. Absolutely exquisite. I'm just saying. Can't wait to see your future reactions. You guys are awesome. Love your energy.
Awesome reaction you two. Geoff usually clones himself 3-4 times for harmonies. Each has their own name and personality. Jeff, Jeoph, Goff and Daryl. He has a 5+ octave range. He released his new video at noon est today.... Folsom Prison Blues. You'll get to see a little more of what this extremely talented man can do. But you can't go wrong with anything on his channel. Everything is amazing. My favorites however are.... Rains of Castemere from Game of Thrones. Ghost Riders In The Sky. Where his 4th clone got his name. Ain't No Sunshine. The first I saw him in. Way Down by Elvis Presley. He hits a C1. And where 3 of his clones got their names. Welcome to the Geoff Castellucci rabbit hole 🐰
Great reaction-I suggest Way Down at some point. Geoff is beyond amazing, and if you haven’t heard Voiceplay, his group, you’re in for a huge treat there as well. So much material for you to check out and everything is so good!
Great reaction! Geoff doesn't always dress in costume, but he usually does layer his audio with multi-Geoff videos to match; he's given each 'clone' a name (based on misspellings and mispronunciations of his own name!) and they've developed personality quirks of their own over time and will 'interact' with each other in small ways. Some other great covers he's done are Ghost Riders In the Sky, Far Over the Misty Mountains Cold, and The Sound of Silence, but anything in his channel is well worth a watch/listen. The a capella group VoicePlay, for whome he sings bass and does a lot of arranging, and even writes an occasional bridge to add to a song, are known as the 'theater kids of a capella' and often put together elaborate costumes and sets for their covers; they've been around for something like 25 years, but this past year or two they've really caught fire--do yourselves a favor and check out pretty much anything they've done. Some of my personal favorites are Hoist the Colours, Nothing Else Matters, We Don't Talk About Bruno, In The Air Tonight, Valhalla Calling, and Butter.
Yes, most of Geoff's solo work the last couple of years has been quad-Geoff productions, and they're each and every one amazing. Geoff has five full octaves and I believe is now edging into a sixth. His lowest note in a song to date is a B0 (the third key from end on the left/low tones end of the piano. So like. WOAH levels of low) I hope you are ready. Those who find Geoff will, without fail, be directed to the acapella group he is part of: VoicePlay. Once you react to them, the VoicePlay fandom is going to descend on your channel and go after that subscribe button like a pack of rabid weasels. We LOVE VoicePlay reactors, and doubly so for those who are first timers. And those who are still new to them. For Geoff, House of the Rising Sun and Sixteen Tons are my favourites. His coover of Sound of Silence is solo-Geoff instead of quad-Geoff, but it is differently stunning. If (be honest, when) you decide to listen to VoicePlay, I suggest starting with Dream On, Valhalla Calling, or Nothing Else Matters, there. When you do, you'll get a metric tonne of comments giving you the breakdown of who is who, who does what, and more information that you ever needed but definitely do want about all of them. Geoff, nor VoicePlay, can do any wrong. With his solo work, or with his group, Geoff always knocks it out of the park, even for those very rare songs that are not *my* particular favourite, I cannot deny that they are *excellently* adapted, laid out, and performed. Anyway, subscribed. Your reactions were brilliant. Can't wait for more. P.S. wanted to add: I am hoping if I get ahead of it now, before you even lay eyes on the man, the bald rock tenor in VP is named Eli, and it rhymes with 'jelly'. It doe *not* rhyme with 'we lie'.
Nice reaction! Yes, Geoff often has that effect on people who have never heard him singing before! While Geoff usually has his "clones" on stage with him, sometimes everyone dresses up differently, and sometimes it's just multiple copies of Geoff. Occasionally it's multiple copies of Geoff, with different style of casual dress - not really costumes, just something to distinguish the different versions. Geoff's a cappella band VoicePlay often does similar things - sometimes they're all dressed up in costumes, and sometimes they're just themselves, but they always hit the vocal nail right on the head! Recommendations: Far Over the Misty Mountains Cold (the dwarves first appearance, and Geoff's most popular video), Sixteen Tons (the old Tennessee Ernie Ford song), Big Bad John (the Jimmy Dean (yes, the sausage guy) song), Way Down (the clones get names!), Blackbird (Beatles cover), Sound of Silence (no clones visible, but their voices are still there), Shenandoah (the old country song), Ghost Riders In the Sky (we meet clone Daryl for the first time!).
Geoff great he doing a new song today/ tonight. I His group VoicePlay is great too they have done all different songs like Creep, Nothing Else Matters, Halo theme, Disney songs and Medley, Seven Nation Army the list goes on hope to see some more Geoff and VoicePlay soon.
Check out: “Ain’t No Sunshine When She’s Gone”, “Blackbird”, “Oogie Boogey Man” (Voiceplay). Also, “The Hobbit” is the first book or prologue to Lord of the Rings”.
This song is from the second Hobbit movie, Desolation of Smaug. It was written and performed by Ed Sheerhan and was played over the end credits. Geoff has made it his own, in his own inimatable way. He has arranged, sung, filmed and edited the whole thing. His wife Kathy helps with costumes and friends from the group VoicePlay help with lighting etc. Geoff now has 592.1K subscribers on Patreon. Only the higher levels are shown on screen and the hightest get a special mention. I am just a lowly subscriber. :)
Geoff only started doing solo music vids in 2020, when VoicePlay lost Earl and when the band couldn't tour because of lockdown. In the great majority of his solo vids, he sings four or five lyric lines and shows multiple images of himself on camera. The multiple images are called the Geofftones, and they have individual nicknames. He has other stuff on his channel. A vid about his wife Kathy's profound hearing loss (they used to perform together for Disney Orlando and on tour), some vids about how he taught himself to sing really low, and some readings of Edgar Allen Poe.
Geoff is amazing. I particularly like his "Far Over The Misty Mountains Cold", "Sixteen Tons", and most especially "Ain't No Sunshine". They're all WELL worth a watch (and reaction hint hint 😉)
Halloween is coming soon and Voiceplay has their Halloween video in the works. Also. Geoff and Pattycake Productions is collaberating for a spectacular Halloween video. Geoff will be lead and a few other characters. Voiceplay are known as both "The Theater Kids of Acapella" and The Kings of Halloween " because of their love of dressing up and performing. Geoff as well. Last year for Halloween they released " Hide and Seek (Ding Dong) with a Haunted Mansion ride theme. Right before that they released "In The Hall of The Mountain King " dressed as Trolls around a cauldron. Geoff's Halloween last year was "Ghost Riders In The Sky ". He was dressed as the 4 ghost cowgoys and the storyteller. I have that picture on my wall in a frame of the ghosts with his autograph. He sells it and other stuff in his merch store.
Not just a one-man band. He does the arrangement, sound, production, editing, lights (sometimes with help from his friends, and always his wife Kathy). I believe the only thing he doesn't do is the final edit & mix, usually done by Ed Boyer. Geoff is a musical genius! You should check VoicePlay, the acapella group where Geoff is one of the founding members and still belongs to. They are spectacular!!
For an upbeat, goofy, and hilarious song try Geoff's cover of "Way Down" (Elvis). It's the first time he names his clones. He adds another clone in "Ghost Riders in the Sky". Looking forward to more Geoff, and hopefully Voiceplay.
Ghostriders in the Sky is really cool. For Halloween - there is The Monster Mash and the Headless Horseman. Ain't No Sunshine and Till Then, shenandoah Blackbird, High and Dry and more.
Since you started here. Misty Mountains Cold is the precurser. Rains of Castemere. Monster Mash and Ghost Riders in the Sky will be a full round. But there are sooo many others as well. Enjoy
I'm gonna recommend "Ghost Riders in the Sky" from Geoff. His clones in that one are (you guessed it) ghost riders, lol. It looks really cool and the song is amazing! Really enjoyed watching you guys experience Geoff for the first time! ❤
welcome to the rabbit hole. With halloween around the corner, check out The Oogie Boogie song, by Voiceplay. That's the groiup Geoff sings with. Also, The Headless Horseman and The Monster Mash. thos are solos by Geoff. Honestly, you won't be disappointed by anything he or they have put out.
Oh HELL YES! You just got me really excited. Not only do I love Oogie Boogie and NBC, but ALL things spooky and Halloween-related. Can’t wait for these!
That is a beautiful and breathtaking rendition of a wonderful song. Hope you can also cover Peter Hollens' version of I See Fire. That one will always be my favorite but this one is a very close second. I think Peter will fit nicely into your niche. He is a master of layering his voice (over 100 times maybe) and he has done a few songs with Home Free, the whole group and its members.
Geoff is an amazing bass singer. It's great to see him on your channel. I also recommend Tomi P who is one of my fasvorite bass singers. In his solo videos he usually records several layers of his voice, but he is also part of "The Bass Gang" on YT (four guys who collaborate online). Tomi's cover of the Disney song "Hellfire" would be a good start or his cover of "No Time to Die".
please react to Malaysia’s MPop girl group called Dolla, they just dropped their new MV 2 days ago and it’s called Damelo. You can’t get any more diversed girlgroup other than Dolla. This group consist of ~ Sabronzo (Malay), Syasya (Malay/Thai), Angel (Chinese), Tabby (Japanese/Chinese) and they sang in English/Malay/Spanish in 1 single video. They have another track which they sang in English/Japanese/Chinese. Cheers from Singapore
If You enjoyed this Another song from the Hobbit/LOTR’s is Misty Mountains Geoff sings it. But I prefer the version with Peter Hollens and Tim Foust from Home Free
Geoff Castellucci is amazing- he not only sang all those vocal lines, he arranged the piece (vocal tracks and instrumental), he conceptualized, produced and filmed the video, and then edited it. He recorded the music and did the initial mix before sending it on to Ed Boyer (who does the final mix for all the big a cappella groups; Geoff is a member of one, but more on that later). So he's not simply a one man band- he's a one man (plus his wife, Kathy) production company, with a little help from his friends. This video was filmed at Pattycake Productions, a video production studio owned by Geoff's very good friend Layne Stein (vocal percussionist of VoicePlay, the a cappella group where Geoff sings bass; he and Geoff trade off on arrangement/video duties for the group) and Tony Wakim (former VoicePlay baritone). The lighting was provided by Eli (rhymes with 'jelly') Jacobson; VoicePlay's tenor, lighting genius, voice actor, and occasional arranger.

Personally, I think VoicePlay has them both beat in terms of creativity and pure artistic exploration of their craft.
@CynicalTesuji - !00% agree with this, I would add that VP have also done quite a few Disney medleys (not too surprising, as many of them have worked at either Disney or Universal theme parks, they are all Florida-based!), as well as covers that will tear at your heart like 'I Can't Make You Love Me' to covers of game-related ones like 'Dragonborn Comes' from Skyrim and the 'Halo' theme - another piece with no actual words to it - but even the composer of the original loved it! For Geoff's 'solo' work, Sixteen Tons, Big Bad John, Ghost Riders In The Sky and Way Down are just a few examples - but as others have said - you can't go wrong with any Geoff or Voiceplay cover!
And now yall need to go misty mountain cover by Geoff
The voice and talent is God given then practice causes skill to erupt !!!!
Oh, this just isn't a rabbit hole. It's an entire solar system of worlds that you are going to discovery. Wait til Halloween, it's Geoff's specialty and Voiceplays. Good luck on your journey. I'm looking forward to this.
That was so funny when she literally blushed 😂
Geoff is also the bass of an acopella group VOICE PLAY but you really can't go wrong with Geoff or VOICE PLAY
I love watching reactors find Geoff for the first time..... You were wonderful.
Geoff is amazing, also the bass singer for an acapella band, Voiceplay which is wonderful!!
Voiceplay stopped touring when Covid shut the world down. That's when Geoff started his solo channel.
He released a new one today - Folsom Prison Blues. He does a variety of genres, he has done harmony on all but one, High and Dry, and shone his clones in all but one, Sound of Silence.
Subscribed in anticipation of more Geoff (and Voiceplay)!
As Voiceplay, they just covered Creep by Radiohead
I don't know if you can handle this or not but I'm addition to all the singing and production and all that... He also plays the piano and harmonica and the instrumental aspects of the song are all plug ins that he performs on the keyboard. The talent is unending
"PEPPER NEEDS NEW SHORTS!!" 🤣🤣🤣
😂😂 one of my favorite movies to quote, especially that line 🤣

One of my favorite things to watch is when ladies experience that unavoidable...physical....reaction to hearing that buttery bass voice
Welcome to the world of geoff castellucci! Would love to see yall react to more of his stuff or even the a capella group hes in, voiceplay!💜💜
From Left to Right, Jeff, Geoff, Daryl and Jeoph. Their names are transcribed as numbers on their uniform shirts.
_John Coffey:_ Was yo missus pleased?
_Paul Edgecomb:_ Several times.
_--(Michael Clarke Duncan and Tom Hanks, The Green Mile - 1999)_

Absolutely exquisite. I'm just saying. Can't wait to see your future reactions. You guys are awesome. Love your energy.
Awesome reaction you two.
Geoff usually clones himself 3-4 times for harmonies. Each has their own name and personality. Jeff, Jeoph, Goff and Daryl.
He has a 5+ octave range.
He released his new video at noon est today.... Folsom Prison Blues.
You'll get to see a little more of what this extremely talented man can do.
But you can't go wrong with anything on his channel. Everything is amazing. My favorites however are....
Rains of Castemere from Game of Thrones.
Ghost Riders In The Sky. Where his 4th clone got his name.
Ain't No Sunshine. The first I saw him in.
Way Down by Elvis Presley. He hits a C1. And where 3 of his clones got their names.
Welcome to the Geoff Castellucci rabbit hole 🐰
Great reaction-I suggest Way Down at some point. Geoff is beyond amazing, and if you haven’t heard Voiceplay, his group, you’re in for a huge treat there as well. So much material for you to check out and everything is so good!
I wouldn’t worry about losing your girlfriend since Geoff is married. His wife does most of his makeup and camera work.
Great reaction! Geoff doesn't always dress in costume, but he usually does layer his audio with multi-Geoff videos to match; he's given each 'clone' a name (based on misspellings and mispronunciations of his own name!) and they've developed personality quirks of their own over time and will 'interact' with each other in small ways.

Some of my personal favorites are Hoist the Colours, Nothing Else Matters, We Don't Talk About Bruno, In The Air Tonight, Valhalla Calling, and Butter.
Ah i love it... React for VoicePlay - Creep. Geoff is one member of that group. U guys will love them too. I guarantee ❤
Also Geoff castelluchi did man of constant sorrow it's awesome hell all he does is awesome and voice play also
Yes, most of Geoff's solo work the last couple of years has been quad-Geoff productions, and they're each and every one amazing. Geoff has five full octaves and I believe is now edging into a sixth.

Geoff great he doing a new song today/ tonight. I His group VoicePlay is great too they have done all different songs like Creep, Nothing Else Matters, Halo theme, Disney songs and Medley, Seven Nation Army the list goes on hope to see some more Geoff and VoicePlay soon.
Check out: “Ain’t No Sunshine When She’s Gone”, “Blackbird”, “Oogie Boogey Man” (Voiceplay). Also, “The Hobbit” is the first book or prologue to Lord of the Rings”.
Added!

Thought,you guys should know, but Geoff just released a cover of Folsom Prison Blues by Johnny Cash! It's great! 🔥🔥
Listen to his "16 Tons" ❤ ❤ ❤
Great reaction, please do more Geoff reactions and try Voiceplay too !
it’s hard to miss with Geoff or Voiceplay. Ghost Riders in the Sky is very good, as is Ain’t No Sunshine.
Geoff only started doing solo music vids in 2020, when VoicePlay lost Earl and when the band couldn't tour because of lockdown.
In the great majority of his solo vids, he sings four or five lyric lines and shows multiple images of himself on camera. The multiple images are called the Geofftones, and they have individual nicknames.

Since you like Geoff listen to anything with him and Voice Play.
Wow thanks for the shout out but I did tell you she was going to leave you
I'm new with you sub and everything Geoff castelluchi is a god I rec big bad John , it's a great cover
Geoff is amazing. I particularly like his "Far Over The Misty Mountains Cold", "Sixteen Tons", and most especially "Ain't No Sunshine". They're all WELL worth a watch (and reaction hint hint 😉)
Hint noticed! Adding! 😁
I love the pure excitement in your eyes.......... You can't fake instant Love :)
Halloween is coming soon and Voiceplay has their Halloween video in the works.
Also. Geoff and Pattycake Productions is collaberating for a spectacular Halloween video. Geoff will be lead and a few other characters.
Voiceplay are known as both "The Theater Kids of Acapella" and The Kings of Halloween " because of their love of dressing up and performing. Geoff as well.
Last year for Halloween they released " Hide and Seek (Ding Dong) with a Haunted Mansion ride theme. Right before that they released "In The Hall of The Mountain King " dressed as Trolls around a cauldron.
Geoff's Halloween last year was "Ghost Riders In The Sky ". He was dressed as the 4 ghost cowgoys and the storyteller. I have that picture on my wall in a frame of the ghosts with his autograph. He sells it and other stuff in his merch store.
Not just a one-man band. He does the arrangement, sound, production, editing, lights (sometimes with help from his friends, and always his wife Kathy). I believe the only thing he doesn't do is the final edit & mix, usually done by Ed Boyer. Geoff is a musical genius!
You should check VoicePlay, the acapella group where Geoff is one of the founding members and still belongs to. They are spectacular!!
For an upbeat, goofy, and hilarious song try Geoff's cover of "Way Down" (Elvis). It's the first time he names his clones. He adds another clone in "Ghost Riders in the Sky". Looking forward to more Geoff, and hopefully Voiceplay.
Ghostriders in the Sky is really cool. For Halloween - there is The Monster Mash and the Headless Horseman. Ain't No Sunshine and Till Then, shenandoah Blackbird, High and Dry and more.
Since you started here. Misty Mountains Cold is the precurser. Rains of Castemere. Monster Mash and Ghost Riders in the Sky will be a full round. But there are sooo many others as well. Enjoy
Absolutely love your reactions and look forward to them. If you like Geoff, you'll love Voiceplay! As worth going down that rabbit hole as Dimash :)
Loved the reactions u both rock!!!!
You can’t go wrong with anything from Geoff or Voiceplay. Enjoy the new discoveries.
Anything by Geoff is awesome! Now try Geoff's cover of Folsom Prison Blues!
I'm gonna recommend "Ghost Riders in the Sky" from Geoff. His clones in that one are (you guessed it) ghost riders, lol. It looks really cool and the song is amazing! Really enjoyed watching you guys experience Geoff for the first time! ❤
welcome to the rabbit hole. With halloween around the corner, check out The Oogie Boogie song, by Voiceplay. That's the groiup Geoff sings with. Also, The Headless Horseman and The Monster Mash. thos are solos by Geoff. Honestly, you won't be disappointed by anything he or they have put out.
Oh HELL YES! You just got me really excited. Not only do I love Oogie Boogie and NBC, but ALL things spooky and Halloween-related. Can’t wait for these!
Loved your reaction 😂😂
I think Mr. McKnight needed new pants when he heard that bass 😆
That is a beautiful and breathtaking rendition of a wonderful song. Hope you can also cover Peter Hollens' version of I See Fire. That one will always be my favorite but this one is a very close second. I think Peter will fit nicely into your niche. He is a master of layering his voice (over 100 times maybe) and he has done a few songs with Home Free, the whole group and its members.
Straight bass, i don't think my headphones can handle it 😭
If you like this you could also like Sixteen Tons from Geoff Castellucci. He has a really amazing voice and I never get over hearing his songs.
You need to listen to Geoff group voice play it rock
With October coming soon, I would recommend "Ghost Riders in the Sky" by Geoff Castellucci. Total fire and amazing production.
Try The headless horseman, Ghost riders or The Monster mash.
Have you reacted to Voiceplay yet? ❤
5:00 is just wow but 4:22 onwards is my favourite part of the song
Please react to voiceplay too
Geoff is part of this group
I recommand you voiceplay Creep Radiohead cover
PLEASE 🙏🙏🙏
Geoff just drop a new song
Please check the new geoff cover
Please
Mantap wow
I know what you were going to say!! LOL
Listen his cover from Far over Misty Mountain Cold and the Theme song from Skyrim, The Dragonborn comes with the acapella Group Voiceplay
Hi there ... try this one please. Monster Mash | Low Bass Singer Cover | Geoff Castellucci
Geoff is an amazing bass singer. It's great to see him on your channel. I also recommend Tomi P who is one of my fasvorite bass singers. In his solo videos he usually records several layers of his voice, but he is also part of "The Bass Gang" on YT (four guys who collaborate online). Tomi's cover of the Disney song "Hellfire" would be a good start or his cover of "No Time to Die".
Awesome, thanks man! We will make sure to add these to the list! You’ve always got fire recommendations 🔥
Please review his covers of the headless horseman and monster mash excellent videos!
Give VoicePlay a shot. Nothing Else Matters (Metallica), In the Air Tonight (Phil Collins), Dragonborn Comes Skyrim.
McQueen is sitting on the bass speaker, isn’t she? Prolly oughta sit on a coaster.
🤣🤣🤣
Só tentei entender os gestos. Já que não entendo o idioma
please react to Malaysia’s MPop girl group called Dolla, they just dropped their new MV 2 days ago and it’s called Damelo. You can’t get any more diversed girlgroup other than Dolla. This group consist of ~ Sabronzo (Malay), Syasya (Malay/Thai), Angel (Chinese), Tabby (Japanese/Chinese) and they sang in English/Malay/Spanish in 1 single video. They have another track which they sang in English/Japanese/Chinese. Cheers from Singapore
How can you watch the Lord of the Rings series without watching The Hobbit trilogy first??? There ought to be a law! LOL
The LOTR came out first when I've seen them.
If You enjoyed this Another song from the Hobbit/LOTR’s is Misty Mountains Geoff sings it. But I prefer the version with Peter Hollens and Tim Foust from Home Free
dimas senopati - Bed of roses
Hallo sister and brother please reac sing of REZA DARMA WANGSA from indonesia❤
