yep this video is quite old he's been working on it for years, even at the time this video was made he had low note videos where he talked about learning how to low growl from Tim from Home Free, Geoff hadn't seen that technique before. After years of practice he said he still wasn't great at it, but years after this video he was a lot better and could do lower notes than this E1 he did here.
My mans can go way higher than a B4, at least an octave, he hit an A5 when showing off in a video and said he didn't want to try higher so as not to strain his voice too much. His lowest chest note is F#1, so slightly higher than the E1 in the video, but holy shit are his chest F#1s and G1s impressive. His lowest subharmonic recorded in a Voiceplay song was an A0, which is literally the leftmost key on a grand piano. Neither a bass guitar nor a contrabass can produce that sound, even a 5-string bass doesn't go that low. His lowest vocal fry that actually sounded like a distinguishable note was like a C#0, but he can probably go lower, losing more and more grit as he descends
Yes, you were correct that Geoff double tracked for the recording, doing the lead and the bass line. When they did it live in concert, J.None would cover the bass line.
Being a broad ranged bass (having a 4 octave range), I am still always blown away at Geoff's abilities. It's not that he has the range -- many bass singers do have broader than normal ranges -- it's his timbre across them that blows my mind.
You are like the first person i have ever seen in a reaction mention the guys neck getting snapped for the sound effect in the video and i have watch like over a dozen of these.
It's probably some sort of blue/green mouthguards it's probably safer, easier and cheaper than LEDs in the mouth. They have unlimited post processing control over the effect and they demonstrated professional quality visual effects productions in many videos.
Music is so enmeshed into both of your hearts and souls. I would love to see a reaction to Barcelona by Freddie Mercury and Montserrat Caballé, whether or not you have seen/heard it.
Try listening to Misty Mountains Cold by Peter Hollens and Tim Foust (with headphones and about 75% volume) It's all done with the human voice. If you have watched The Hobbit you'll reckonise the song. You wont regret listening to it. 😁👍🍻

the bass riff at 2:06 was actually artificial subharmonics produced by double tracking geoff at 2 different octaves and layering them
Geoff just casually ends this with a subharmonic E1. He's actually expanded his range since this was released.

I always love the faces of reactors on that last note (and he has 5 octave range btw )
You are one of the few reactors that noticed Earl "breaking" J's neck. That part always makes me giggle

I just gotta say, I love how happy you two look in these reaction videos. The energy you two have in these 100% brightened up my day!

Agreed! It’s not enough to just hit those notes, but the tone and delivery… Geoff does it so well! 🤩
I would suggest rewatching this with headphones! It will really blow your mind.
Actually that was 4 octaves and he has hit a C1 before. He has increased his range and if officially 5 octaves now.
He is acutally at nine, he only uses 5 though.
True, the end of the track 4 or maybe 5 octives.
You are like the first person i have ever seen in a reaction mention the guys neck getting snapped for the sound effect in the video and i have watch like over a dozen of these.
I do it for people like you who appreciate it! 🤩

You are such fun reactors to watch!
If you haven't done it yet, Voice Play doing Grim Grinning Ghosts is really, really good. Enjoyed this video!
Thanks for the suggestion! We’ll look into it 😁
also, if you haven't heard it Geoffs Headless Horseman or Take me Home Country Road, just make sure you have the volume up
You two are so much fun to watch. :)
I love Geoff doing Blackbird..all the parts.
The song sixteen tons with him singing it is good.
It was one of the very first VoicePlay-related videos we reacted to! th-cam.com/video/dwXra0J_gBo/w-d-xo.html
@@ZhenYaoYin ooooooo, will check. Thanks
Spectacular!! I love The Nightmare Before Christmas and that was better than perfect... fun. 🤗
Yay! VoicePlay has covered quite a number of The Nightmare Before Christmas songs, I’m sure we’ll go through all of them eventually 😆
If you loved this, you should check out their version of Kidnap Mister Sandy Claws feat Rachel Potter!
Music is so enmeshed into both of your hearts and souls. I would love to see a reaction to Barcelona by Freddie Mercury and Montserrat Caballé, whether or not you have seen/heard it.
React to VoicePlay, This is Halloween. It really showcases the character voices all of them can do.
We’ll definitely get to it eventually! I LOVE that song. But perhaps we might keep it for October… 🤔😜
Idk what vocoder means but just know that was all Geoff being Geoff
LOL! 😂
it's two takes of Geoff layered on top of each other with an octave difference - I remember I saw an interview with the beatboxer
Great written comments during the video. Please check out Carry on My Wayward Son and My Mother Told Me.
Take a look at Voiceplay "Go the distance" from Hercules. It´s good one.
Me again. Did not see that you had done it. So go to Voiceplay's page and pick anything, they are all good.
LOL thanks for your comments! Really appreciate them 😁
Watch his new single "Saddle Up"
Try listening to Misty Mountains Cold by Peter Hollens and Tim Foust (with headphones and about 75% volume)
It's all done with the human voice.
If you have watched The Hobbit you'll reckonise the song.
You wont regret listening to it.
😁👍🍻
OMGLOB THERE'S MAH COMMENT 😅😎 also did I not tell you?
Yes you did! 😆

How is it possible? I have come to the conclusion "Because it is Angelina"
Jesus loves everyone
All these clueless arm chair experts disturb me.
