We almost universally are thankful that Geoff is happily married, because if he was still single the rest of us could not rest comfortably.
The " what the crap was that sound?" is called Geoff singing in bass.
Exactly what I was going to say!!
😂
😅VALHALLA CALLING ,SEVEN NATION ARMY, IN THE AIR TONIGHT, CREEP AND SO MANY MORE THAT ARE PERFECT, CAUSE EVERYTHING THEY DO IS PERFECTION. A SUSRIBER FROM GREECE.
Creep just released it is awesome
Their whole catalog is worth listening to
It's interesting, there are a few songs they do, where I am not a fan of the original, but love what VP does to them. "Creep" by Radiohead being a prime example of a song I don't like the original, but very much enjoyed VP rendition of it.
This is Geoffs' arrangement. I think they said someone told them that they couldn't sing this song acapella. I think they did an outstanding job of proving whoever it was wrong. J. None is a former member of the group but joined the Navy two years ago for a five-year hitch. When he is in Florida on leave he gets together with the guys and makes videos. He is currently the new frontman for Navy Band Northwest in Seattle, Washington.
Somebody: “Nobody can sing Metallica acapella.”
VoicePlay: “Hold my violin!”
What the ! is that?
An E1. (Subharmonic)
All five times, an E1.
Also Geoff will be the first to admit, if you met him on the street, you'd never know he can sing that low (his lowest recorded subharmonic is a B0.)
Geoff spends most of this song emulating a bass guitar part - except it's my understanding that he occasionally goes lower than a bass goes!
J None was with Voiceplay from 2018 to 2021 when he was recruited by the US Navy to sing with them. He has been back to do 4 pieces with them while on leave; he's 2 years into a 5 year hitch.
If you want to see more of J's range, check out Voiceplay's cover of Tennessee Whiskey. It was done before Cesar (with all the hair) joined them and when they still had their original (since 1997) high tenor.
To see their theatrical side, check out Hoist the Colours from Pirates of the Caribbean 3 - then get ready for the one they will drop in a couple of weeks. Trust me.
Never apologize for fanboying over VoicePlay, my friend! And especially not for this one. It's incredible.
J.None is a former full member of the group who worked with them before he formally joined, so you'll see him in pretty much any of their videos from around late 2017 to May of 2021 (when he started a tour with the Navy) and in several collaborations since, including Remember Me, Friends on the Other Side, Valhalla Calling and In The Air Tonight, as well as a number of minis/shorts.
Some further covers I recommend with various other fantastic collaborators are Hoist the Colours and My Mother Told Me featuring Jose Rosario Jr.; Creep, Seven Nation Army and Golden Hour with Anthony Gargiula; Dream On and The Dragonborn Comes with Omar Cardona; We Don't Talk About Bruno with Ashley Diane; The Greatest Showman Medley, Moana Medley and The Phantom of the Opera with Rachel Potter; and Man in the Mirror and Butter with Deejay Young. But I could name easily twice that many just from my list of personal favorites. These guys have been around in some iteration for 25 years, and they don't know how to sing badly. (Well, actually, yes they do, when they want to...but I can't show you proof just yet. XD)
Welcome to the rabbit hole that is the a capella band Voiceplay! 😂😂😂 You should definitely check out their covers of Man in the Mirror and In the Air Tonight too!
Welcome to the awesomeness that is Voiceplay, Sebs
Welcome to the amazing bass of Geoff Castellucci.
This group is always amazing but this more rock era has been some their best work to date!
Geoff (Jeff) Castellucci has a channel of his own you might want to check out. He has a 5 octave range and sings all the lead and backups himself. Would
love to know what you think of one of his singles. I really enjoyed your reaction to Nothing Else Matters. They try to honor the original while adding their own flavor. In this one they brought in VioLayne because they felt it was the best way to cover that iconic part. However, that is only the second time I have seen them use an instrument as a group. Geoff uses instruments in his creations.
ANY Voicplay song is a great song. Make sure to check out some of their "in 5 minutes" medleys. Welcome to the best rabbit hole.
J.None was a full member of VoicePlay for some years but left in 2021 to sing with the US navy music section. He has a beautiful voice and a crazy sense of humour, which can often be seen in older videos.
VoicePlay also did a stunning version of Dream On...
This!
Huge fan of Dream On!!
When I saw you were reacting to a VP song I was soo happy! They have so many great things! Your wife and girls might like Little Mermaid - J None is in that. Oogie Boogie is too much for littles but a great song for abilities. J None is in Valhalla Calling and In the Air Tonight - and are just soo good! Friends on the Other Side has J None and Golden Hour has Geoff's wife being a toymaker. Please do more VP!
Voiceplay always honors the original, yet makes it their own with awesome arrangements and performances.
Check out their impossibly amazing cover of Dream On.
Very intense and moving
Loved every second of your reaction!! J. None used to be a full time member of the group and then joined the Navy and sings for them. He comes back as a "featured artist" like on Valhalla Calling (which I recommend next - another mind blowing opportunity). He also does In the Air Tonight. Eli is the Rock Tenor (pronounced like Jelly) with the killer rock voice. Cesar has the sweet tender voice and replaced J. None as the full time member. Cesar is featured prominently in Creep. Cesar is also the Steven Tyler high note on Dream On. Now for Layne...vocal percussion extraordinaire and now has the nickname VioLayne after Nothing Else Matters. Both Layne and J. None play violin on Warriors (Imagine Dragons)...and it's amazing. Geoff and Layne do most of the arrangements splitting the time about 50/50. But Eli arranged Creep (released a couple weeks ago) and also Eleanor Rigby a couple years ago. Enjoy the Rabbit Hole!
More Voiceplay please! More covers that are in the "what the hell, really?!" category: In the air tonight (Phil Collins), Seven Nation Army (White Stripes), all of their epic game covers (Valhalla calling, Dragonborn (Skyrim), Halo etc.), any of their Halloween/Disney stuff. Everything they touch turns to awesome.
Thank you for another great reaction to Voice Play. These guys never get enough recognition that they deserve. Partly because they don't go on tour anymore like the others do. Voice Play are very happy to make videos for their fans or anyone else who dives into their rabbit hole. As they are getting older they don't have the time to do both. They choose to stay home base with their families & do what they do best like no one else can. They are a very theatrical acapella group & known as The Theater Kids of acapella. They invest a lot of time into their productions & do 99% of everything they do.
Cool reaction! J. None used to be a full time member of VoicePlay. He left to join the Navy, but he plans to come back to VoicePlay once his time in the Navy is over.
He’s never actually said that as far as I know and I’ve seen every BTS for every vid he’s joined them for. If you have exactly when/where he did, please let me know.
I think that was someone’s wishful thinking that got turned into a rumor.
He has, however, implied he plans to stay in the Navy as a career.
@@Gael4ce He did say it in his farewell video.
It doesn't mean he won't be singing with Voiceplay any time he can.
@@hweber4229 Then I would suspect plans have changed. Because his comment re: this being a career for him was much more recent.
@@hweber4229 I just rewatched it and…Mmm… nope. He didn’t. He said that these were his last two videos with VoicePlay, but not forever. And that’d he’d be back. And he has been back. As a guest.
I do feel this is a case of people hearing what they wanted to hear and not what was actually said.
🎼🔥🔥💥🔥🔥🎼 amazing !!!!! More Voiceplay please !!!!!! 😎
J.None is actually a bass-baritone with an extended range well into tenor. He can also rap very well, as well.
Yay!!! You did VoicePlay! Enjoy every moment of that journey! It's so worth checking out more of them. They recently did In The Air Tonight with J None.
This is only the 2nd time we've gotten to hear Layne (VioLyne) play, even though he has been playing since he was about 4. The other one is Warriors by Imagine Dragons (spoiler J None plays too)
These guys are just pact with talent.
And if you need more proof of how amazing these guys are you should check out In the Hall of the Mountain King and Halo (please, please watch the tribute at the end)
Every so often is ok to just do what you want. 😊
I was a huge Metallica fan growing up, still love 'em. NEM is a favourite song of mine. Voiceplay did an incredible job with this arrangement, I was blown away when I heard it for the first time and I was an instant fan ❤ subscribing to your channel, hoping to see more VoicePlay 🤘
Can't wait to hear more VoicePlay! Pick anything, it's all great. J does have an amazing range, but you'll find they all do. Thanks for the reaction!!
They are marvelous aren't they? You might enjoy their verson of Tennessee Whiskey.
On J.None’s channel, there’s a video of him singing for the Navy, the National Anthem. His rendition is very simple and elegant-not all the ornamentation that so many singers add, just the song and his beautiful voice. Well worth a listen.
As for what else of Voiceplay’s you should check out, just point and click. They never miss. Looking forward to more of your reactions!
OMG!!!!!!!! I have been wanting you to check out Voiceplay for soooo long!! This made me so happy!! Please do more! They don’t get as much love as Pentatonix and Home Free but they are not only just as talented but they have a way of keeping the arrangements interesting the entire time. A lot of their stuff is super theatrical which is also really fun. You can’t go wrong with anything you pick but if you want more J None I would suggest In the Air Tonight, Tennessee Whiskey or Valhalla Calling. Though their version of Hoist the Colours (from Pirates of the Caribbean) is one of my favorites from them. ❤
I’m happy to see you discover VoicePlay! They’ve got a remarkable amount of talent and creativity. While I think each one of them is phenomenal, if I had to suggest just one to see more of it would be the amazing bass singer, Geoff (pronounced Jeff) Castellucci on his own channel.
I think you will LOVE his cover of Ain’t No Sunshine as it’s a great song to showcase his incredibly rich, resonant bass voice.
Welcome to the Voiceplay rabbit hole. I really appreciated yoru reaction. Halloween is coming up. May I suggest Voiceplay’s version of Superstition? It is fabulous. Really anything they have created is fantastic. Their version of Halo, Carry on my Wayward Son, Queen in 5 Minutes, In the Air Tonight…. Anything.
How could you mention VoicePlay and Halloween, but NOT their cover of the Oogie Boogie song?! 😅
Amazing rendition 😮 loved your reaction
My Halloween recommendation is their amazing rendition of Grieg’s “In the Hall of the Mountain King,” featuring Elizabeth Garozzo. I’m the kid of a musical theatre director & grew up learning classical/orchestral music, so I loved what they did with it - however, everything I’ve heard from VoicePlay is absolute genius! Incredible. Metallica’s Black album was the first CD I ever bought & I love NEM - I get chills every time I hear this! Crazy talented. They have some fantastic shorts, too - check out the one of A-ha’s “Take On Me.” Great choice, Sebs! Check out more VoicePlay, you won’t be sad you did!
Should definitely check out more VoicePlay. My favorites from them are Oogie Boogie's Song, If I Were a Rich Man/Girl, Little Mermaid Medley, and Tennessee Whiskey. Or at least check out Geoff singing 16 Tons on his channel.
Just subscribed - I hope for more VP reactions and maybe you have a look at Geoffs solo channel... you cannot go wrong. There is no crap. But latety they have become better and better. Who knows where this all is going? They should get the love of a much wider audience! Loved you reaction... LOVE this song in this version, gives me the best vibes everytime!🎉😊❤ p.s. if you want more J.None: watch "friends on the other side" - brilliant! Or: "superstition"
Oh dude, you ain't even scratched the surface of Voice Play. Geoff (the low bass singer) is a five octave voice. The entire group is awesome. Rabbit hole, for real.
VoicePlay is amazing! They've got some great stuff too. If you're a rock guy, they recently did "7 Nation Army." They've got tons of great stuff from Disney to rock/metal. Even pirates and Vikings! Definitely don't miss "Valhalla Calling!" Great reaction! ❤
Yet another reviewer (justifiably) gob-smacked by this outstanding cover! I just subscribed, and look forward to your reviews.
J None has a really… affecting? Timbre to his voice- it’s something that he might have just developed with his expressiveness as an artist, or hell, genetic gift. Since he’s been performing so long, I’m guessing it’s a lot of the former.
You’re right- it’s not a showboat part of a singer’s range, but with how crazy warm his voice is, it’s a terrific foil for the clarity Eli & Cesar (the two high tenors) use, and pretty epic on its own.
Btw, he also plays violin briefly in their “Warriors” video, duetting with Layne (who played on this one.) J had the lead on Warriors as well and he sounds gorgeous.
Cesar is the only unmarried member of the group at the moment 😆
Great reaction, it’s always fun to see what musicians are struck by in Acapella arrangements.
This is amazing. Was it Jeff that sent this? Keep 'em coming, man!
Just came back to watch your reaction again, it was so much fun the first time! Speaking of "action", Geoff is married with a son, Layne is married with 4 daughters, Eli is married and they are expecting a baby in November, J None is recently married. Only Cesar is single at this time.
Individually and as a group they are wonderful people. They hold periodic auctions for their patrons. They auction costumes and set pieces with all proceeds going usually to music and hunger charities. Or maybe they just wanted to clean out the storage room. 😉😉😉
Hi Seb, thank you again for another great reaction to Voice Play. If you like this then you will love Voice Plays cover of Dream On originally by Aerosmith. Voice Play knocks it out of the ball park. Cesar ( the guy with the big hair ) is the one that hits the high note at the end. These guys are a force to be reckoned with.
This was dropped on my birthday and it is stunning. J None was the baritone+ for VoicePlay prior to being recruited into the US Navy for his vocal talents. His last video as a member was Man In The Mirror (definitely worth checking out). He said he'd be back at his goodbye party and has been back a few times for both full productions and shorts/minis. He's done 2 yrs of the 5 and most of us are rooting for him back in VP. Friends on the Other Side, this one, In The Air Tonight, Valhalla Calling have all been done while he's in the Navy. If you haven't already, check out VP's Tennessee Whiskey for a trip.
VoicePlay is known as the theater kids of a cappella. They've gone through a lot of lineup changes so you may not recognize everyone in the older videos. In What's This, Oogie Boogie's Song, and This is Halloween, all songs from the movie The Nightmare Before Christmas, they dress up and play out the characters. They also do so in You're a Mean One, Mr. Grinch. Their Phantom of the Opera is fantastic. The Phantom is Tony Wakim, a former member who is in the video and live versions of Zombies vs Hillbillies Survivor that they did with Home Free, first on the Sing-Off tour after both groups were in season four of the a cappella competition show. their Halo theme video brings back one of the founding members, Scott Porter who is now an actor (Friday Night Lights). Please don't skip his message at the end of the video. In Boy Bands in 5 Minutes you's see not only the man Scott talks about but the spouses of 4 of the 5 members. Queen in 5 Minutes is also wonderful and has Earl's husband at the beginning and end of the story. The Chicken Song, The Fox, and Road Trip are tour stage productions that are hilarious. I think you'll get a kick out of each one. So many more great videos, but I'll stop here.
Please react to more voiceplay
Please learn the name and talk about each member
The name are always in the description
Please react to voiceplay Creep Radiohead cover please
I am here for you to jump down this Voiceplay rabbithole you will be very very impressed for sure trust me Dragonborn comes, Dream On, In the Air Tonight, Creep, Seven Nation Army the list just goes on and on they are amazing I love watching your reactions for sure can't wait for more
LOL!! Yes, you heard it right! If you go down this rabbit hole, you will never be quite the same. Great rection!
Thank you for another awesome reaction to Voice Play. These guys don't get near the recognition they deserve. They use to travel but choose to stay home base & record for their fans. They are after all known as The Theater Kids Of Acapella which takes a lot of their time. Other groups get more attention because they do travel & are more widely known. Voice Play work totally independent & free from any contracts. They do everything themselves with the exception of make-up & Ed Boyer does their final mixing who also does final mixing for many other popular Acapella groups as well .
Excellent reaction. Now you can try with the recent covers of Voiceplay: Dream on, Seven Nations Army, In the Air Tonight, Creep... You won't be deceived. Wellcome to the club.
You said that you didn’t think this song could be a capella…how do you feel about:
1) Dream On by Aerosmith
2) Seven Nation Army by White Stripes
3) In The Air Tonight by Phil Collins.
VoicePlay did them all.
J has the lead on In The Air Tonight. He also has a good piece of their cover of Tennessee Whiskey, and Valhalla Calling by Miracle of Sound.
Also…subscribed! 👍
This was freaking amazing. Loved it, and subscribed!
We need to see more of you and your wife on here... 👍👍👍
Any of their songs they had another member that voice unbelievable called Earl. I love their ACA Top 10 stuff but Mona Medley is good. The Greatest Show Man Medley. Man In The Mirror, Daddy Sang Bass, Queen in 5 mins, Boy Bands, Butter by BTS, Mean One Mr. Grinch, Good 4 U so any their songs I like.
"Gosh these guys must get so much action" OMG!!! I'm dying. Can you do My mother told me. That's a really good one (Yay for Vikings). Also you should really check out the group Home Free (DO NOT start with Mayday) Home Free and Voice Play were both in the sing off together, but Home Free won.
Geoff Castelluci is amazing in a group. But his solo stuff is even more epic!
Please check out his rendition of Ain’t No Sunshine.
I been listening to this every day for the last two months!
Welcome to Voice Play. ❤❤. These boys will blow your mind.. And they keep upping the bar.
2:15 XD always fun to see someone react to Geoff's earthquake notes for the first time.
Elton John stated that this is one of the best songs ever written.
VoicePlay recently did a cover of 'In The Air Tonight' by Phil Collins. I noticed that you had just reacted to that song. You really, really have to hear the VoicePlay's version. Unless, you don't like having your mind blown by amazing things. Lol
You should check out their cover of Seven Nation Army
Let's add a few for your reactions - an apocalyptic trilogy: Warriors (Imagine Dragons), Dream On (Aerosmith), Seven Nation Army (White Stripes), In the Air Tonight (Phil Collins), Valhalla Calling (Miracle of Sound (gave VP 10 raised ale horns for the most creative cover of their song)), Creep (RadioHead), Hellfire (Hunchback of Notre Dame), Drunken Sailor, Whiskey in the Jar, Hoist the Colours (Pirates of the Caribbean), Little Mermaid (Disney), Wicked (Broadway). Geoff's recent solos: Sound of Silence (S&G), Man of Constant Sorrow, Jack's Lament (Nightmare Before Christmas), Folsom Prison Blues (Johnny Cash), Ain't No Sunshine (Bill Withers), Far Over the Misty Mountains Cold (The Hobbit), I See Fire (Desolation of Smaug), 16 Tons (Tennessee Ernie Ford), Rains of Castemere (Game of Thrones), Ghost Riders in the Sky, House of the Rising Sun (The Animals).
Fan boy away. I fan girl and crush so hard (especially on Geoff and Eli) every time i hear their songs haha
If you wanna hear what J None can do with his lower register, check out Voiceplay's cover of "Friends on the other side".
You're gonna be floored !
All three of the tenors - Eli, Cesar, and J - could sing a baby to sleep at 7:00 pm and front a metal band at 9:00. Every member of this group is way too talented.
Hard to see from your playlists but if you want more from J. None, check out Voiceplay’s cover of “Tennessee Whiskey” by Chris Stapleton or a very pleasant surprise talent (not going to spoil it) of their cover of “Valhalla Calling” by Miracle of Sound!!! In fact, react to both since they show J. None’s talent and diversity!!! Oh, and toss in their cover of “Warriors” by Imagine Dragons as well!! You just can not go wrong with anything by Voiceplay!!!
This is another great song with a story behind it. PLEASE LOOK IT UP MAKES THE SONG MEAN SO MUCH MORE
Headphones really make a difference for these groups. Great stuff
Sebs I absolutely love your giddy reactions when VP does something new. One suggestion you've been given before that I have to agree about is that you NEED A HEADSET to really hear Geoff's beautiful tones. You'll never go back, seriously. Hope you'll be able to enjoy with a headset soon. Keep it up my friend.
If you haven’t done it already listen to this group cover of The White Stripes - Seven Nation Army. Geoff can hit notes that are so low you don’t hear them you feel them! Those really heavy ‘Thumps’ and ‘Rumbles’ you hear during the song are Geoff showing you how low he can actually go!
If you like Bass voices you need to check out an artist call TOMI P. His version of ‘Toss a Coin to Your Witcher’ is one I always keep going back to.
Check out their version of Can’t Make You Love Me
Freaking AWESOME!!!❤️❤️❤️
Please do your ears a treat and listen to acapella with headphones! I love me some ambient speakers but acapella has nuances they just don't translate.
When anyone asks for my favorite song of theirs I say "the next one" because they keep taking these huge iconic songs and killing them. I would suggest getting headphones for Geoff and VoicePlay. There is so much background you'll miss because the songs are so intricate. And, yes, Geoff blew out my first pair. LOL
LOVE VOICEPLAY !!!!! AND HOME FREE !!!!!!!!!!!!!
Pleeeeeaaase do more VP!
Feel like you'd also like Voiceplay's renditions of Dream On and Seven Nation Army
J None is in their Valhalla Calling video which I actually saw before this one lol. I live him in their Tennessee Whiskey cover. Don’t remember if you’ve seen that one. Love your reactions man!
You might be interested to know that J. None has recently dropped an original track called "Am I Real?" I highly suggest you check it out; not only is it always great to hear amazing music from J., but the message of the song is so heartfelt and relatable. It will hit hard.
Geoff is one of the lowest bases around.
🔥 headphones .. Sebs .. you need to use headphones for acupella ... it will change a lot ... for the better 🔥
You're right. I don't think it's racist. Its about caring for each other and needing to stop the crazy stuff.
😮
If you wanna hear SmoooothTM listen to their Tennesse Whiskey cover
More Voiceplay and Home Free, also some Avi Kaplan. Great reaction.
❤❤❤
J-none is an actual member but he's currently listed as Featuring because he's in the Us Navy
Try their version of Valhalla Calling. JNone is in that one too. It's about Viking heaven Calling to them. SO GREAT!❤
For a great song to hear Geoff's range I suggest Oggie Boogie Song. You get to see them really get into character. The Dragonborn Comes, from Skyrim is another one where they get into character.
your random comment :these guys must get so much action" i spewqed milk out of my nose
Buckle up, you're in for a bumpy ride down the rabbit hole.
My friend shared this with me a few months ago and the only word I could come up with for Geoff's bass is "lickable." Yum.
If you liked that one check out in the air tonight
You might enjoy their cover of Aerosmith's Dream On 🤣
Watch it again with headphones to fully hear all Jeff's notes. Some are so low and quiet you can't hear them with computer speakers or phone speakers. You won't regret it!
Action? Geoff (dragon), Eli (bald), Layne (beat box) are MARRIED.
Although a good rendition... I couldn't help but think-- So this is how you turn a Metallica song into a Christmas sounding cover.
You really need to get some great earbuds or better yet, some headphones to REALLY appreciate their sounds.
The “What the crap is that sound” is E1 or a subharmonic note
