Geoff is the bass for the acapella group, “Voiceplay”. If you want to hear the totality of his multi-octave range, check out “Oogie-Boogie Song” by Voiceplay. It’s from “The Nightmare before Christmas”. It’s out of season now, but you can hear the true stretch of Geoff’s vocal talent. He’s. Amazing.
also his version of Headless Horseman, where his final note is so deep it's in the E range. 16 tons was originally done long time ago by Tennessee Ernie Ford
@@steveeverett1736 in headless horseman his last note is a subharmonic F1. He does hit a sub E1 in Blackbird though :)
I was about ready to suggest that song. Very awesome
Geoff has been doing a lot of solo multitrack work during the last year, apparently because Voiceplay lost their high tenor and haven't chosen a permanent replacement yet. And because of COVID restrictions.
okay but the slide in the "little mermaid" medley, though
I think the best line is "He's so low he makes my testicles hurt."
don’t forget about “oh my freakin deakin...what the butter” 😂😂
Yeah, i heard one better. My friend described listening to his voice as "geoffgasms" :D
he's definately got the chronical nutrattling.....
I once saw a female reactor say, in response to a Geoff note, "Stop. What are you doing, Geoff? I'm already pregnant." I think that was in response to Country Road, IIRC, but it almost doesn't matter which song.
Great reaction, as always. I had to laugh at....
"He makes my testicle hurt"!
I just love the reaction of people seeing Geoff for the first time, Love his voice.
try his cover of BLACKBIRD shows his full range
I love your profile pic
It's really beautiful ❤👌
Blackbird is my favorite of all of Geoff's incredible performances.
Nah. High and dry does. It has his B0 suharmonic in it
@@simonpettersson9059 it doesn't have a B0. The slide starts at about C#1
There are 3 super basses in the acapella world right now. Geoff Castalucci from Voiceplay Tim Foust from Home Free and Avi Kaplan formerly from Pentatonix. Tim helped the other two with their low growl notes. All of them are amazing. Enjoy jumping down the different rabbit holes. Their fan base is like no other and we love reactions.
Don't forget Matt Sallee (sp)......
And Tomi P
Imagine an a Cappella arrangement featuring Avi singing the lead tenor role, Geoff & Tim singing/ sharing the bari-bass roles, and Adam Chance singing the descant over the top of this...
*The world would break up!*
@@EarlJohn61 I'd like to a this but with all of them switching off the tenor lead and then dropping straight down to the lowest bass line. Minds would be blown all over the world.
@@wbish3 sounds good to me...
Or is that: that would sound good to me!
Technically speaking, and he even says this, he's a baritone, with a bass range. But can sing first tenor also. He's a friggin mutant. And I love every minute of it
Geoff and Freddy Mercury, man; absolutely _inhuman_ ranges. Male sirens.
I'm addicted to Voiceplay, particularly Geoff Castellucci's voice. But my favorite passtime these days is watching reactions to people hearing Geoff for the first time....because I always wait for the Surprised Pikachu face.......this one did not disappoint!!!
you have to watch " Far over the misty mountains" from Geoff Castelucci.Its so full of deepness and feelings
I love watching people's first reactions to Geoff. Always a fun time.
He, of course, is singing all four parts so you're right, he can do a great tenor, and everything else down to a sub-sonic basso profundo.
Scary part is he can go lower...
And he even considers himself not a bass but a "baritone that goes into bass" - what does he consider a true one?
@@tatewakinew I can only think of Tim Storms off the top of my head, lol
@@tatewakinew People like J.D. Sumner & Glenn Miller are true basses :)
tatewakinew A true bass can hold an E2 effortlessly OVER AN ORCHESTRA. And a true basso profundo can hold a C2 effortlessly OVER AN ORCHESTRA.
Look, I am a baritone and I can get crisp and resonant down to a C#2 however of what I could hold over an orchestra would be a G#2 or a G2 on a good day. So judging by Geoffs tonal quality I would imagine him being able to sing an F#2 over an orchestra which would be classified as a lyric bass-baritone.
@@defnotaghost6460 Geoff has said he loses resonancy around the Eb2/D#2 area. Some days he is resonant down to C#2/Db2, and others not... but he said he can only sing off-mic down to Eb2 consistently
(Off-mic as in, resonant without a mic)
Geoff is an amazing talent - both in his singing and musical arrangements. Great reaction! Your face when he first started singing was priceless, haha
Oh... The Geoff-initiation faces... That's why we like first reactions best! :D
Yep, at first "wow he's got a low voice" then the minor freak out at first drop "wider eyes, perhaps "Oh wow that really low" then a short while later complete brain melt/lockup/shutdown when Geoff actuall goes low.
My new hobby is looking for reactions videos of people who are hearing Geoff (or VoicePlay) for the very first time. The reactions to Geoff's low notes are always amusing XD
Just wait till you hear his 5 octave range. Also this is all his chest voice he can go lower and it's crazy using subharmonics
"So, Geoff Castellucci... I don't know who the guy is."
Me: gets popcorn, waits for you to be blown away.
Lovely reaction vid! As others have mentioned, Geoff has a few other pretty amazing solo vids (Blackbird really is just phenomenal), and if you're into acapella, definitely check out the group he's in, Voiceplay. Besides being the bass singer, he's also one of the two principle arrangers for their songs. Everyone will recommend Oogie Boogie's song, but I would actually suggest starting with their cover of Carry On My Wayward Son, as it gives you a better view of all of their talents.
I agree. Oogie boogie isn't the best to start with.
I had the same thought. “Really?. Just wait...”
I love his version of The Headless Horseman ... he does a similar thing in that song too
It makes me laugh every time I swear he could sing the phone book accompanied by laynes’ beatboxing x
I love to see the first reaction to his singing! Always puts a big smile on my face.
Geoff's cover of Betales Blackbird is KING of harmony...
And the band he is is Voiceplay"s version of Oggie Boggie Song...where he goes all the way down to E1 in tone.
Please watch both and react 🙂👍
Sub-harmonic bass, to high tenor range, incredible.
Geoff and Tim didn't understand that they had to reach into the bag to pick a range to sing in so they took the entire bag. VoicePlay's Geoff Castellucci and Home Free's Tim Foust both have insane ranges so you simply don't know if they will be singing as the bass for a song.
With Voiceplay, you can just about be certain if there's a bass line, it's Geoff singing it.
With Home Free, however, while Tim will probably be singing the bass, sometimes he's the descant tenor & Adam Chance chooses to go deep!
@@EarlJohn61 I thought mayday was a good example of that for home free.
Geoff gets more views on youtube than Tim.
@@DanielKing-vo5fs So?
Welcome to the world of VoicePlay and Geoff Castellucci 😊
When you said you'd never heard of Geoff, my first thought was, "You're mind is about to be blown." From your reactions, I'm guessing I was right. Geoff has a, truly, incredible voice.
Geoff just released his version of Misty Mountains, and it will totally blow your mind!
Favorite quote, "This guy makes my testicles hurt..." Great reaction, keep them up!
You need to hear his version of the Beatles blackbird your jaw will be on the floor the man has a 5 octave range your gonna love it
I heard this for the first time last night and it blew my socks off. Simply amazing.
Oogie boogie's song shows his full range
Well we got the little mermaid medley D5 D1 isn't?
Geoff's video is one of my top favourites. Your face throughout was great and I couldn't help but say ... just wait for it. Naw, you think THIS is low? Wait til the end! LOL!! Loved your reaction and comments throughout. :)
High and dry is another good cover by him. Also check out the group he is in Voiceplay. They have some really good stuff.
I cannot agree more that he needs to listen to high and dry
His work with Voice Play is outstanding. High and Dry shows his range really well.
Oh... You should also check out Hellfire by Tomi.
I came for Geoff, I stayed for the great reaction! 😘
👍👍🤣Your face, mate!
Thanks for doing this reaction, loved it. And yeah, he is perfect for acapella, but PTX aren't the only group. Seems that thanks to this blasted lockdowns, we started exploring art and music we were missing...
First thing this guy's reaction was like mine it was so shocking how good of a low singer he is
Hes just so shook and starstruck the entire video. Hes just vibing. Geoff is truly amazing! Loved the video. 😁
He gets so much deeper then that. Really you should listen to his cover of Blackbird. His range is amazing
This was great. All the other reactors pretty much have heard Geoff or Voiceplay before. Your expressions on this were perfect!
What shocks about Geoff's bass isn't just the range and depth, though they are astonishing. It's that his voice is absolutely _buttery;_ lusciously rich and smoother than a well-aged whiskey~
The perfect look is the mixture of horror and fascination that nothing can quite compare with those deep velvety tones.
That was a very gratifying reaction. And it’s really just the tip of the iceberg! This was all in Geoff’s chest voice. Check out some of his other videos for more surprises, and check out the A Capella group he’s in, Voiceplay, to see him working those harmonies and some just plain damn good videos!
He didn't even go to his sub-harmonic range! Can't wait for you to react to some of his others and with voiceplay.
Geoff’s voice gives my soul shivers
That’s why we love our Geoff!
The Headless Horseman is another amazing one. But Oogie Boogie is awesome
Geoff is a member of Voice Play, an a Capella group, check out their Queen in 5 minutes.
😂😁 the look on your face. Can't wait to see you react to more of him solo or with his group Voice Play.
Hope to see that too with Home Free and their 5+ octave bass Tim Foust.
It would be nice if Geoff would introduce us to his identical quad brothers!
More Geoff and more Voiceplay please :)
My favorite song that shows his switch from high to low is in VoicePlay's The Little Mermaid Medley when he is singing Ursula's song.
That was hilarious Soul. So glad you've discovered Geoff!! Please, Oogie Boogie Song, as everybody says.
I really like Geoff, I LOVE TIM FOUST!
Glad you enjoyed Geoff. He is an amazing talent as you say. People have made lots of recommendations already and I agree with them all. One more, see Geoff's arrangement of Elvira done for Home Free with The Oakridge Boys for some good fun.
Soul, I've seen confirmed tests off tape / piano that Geoff C. has a 5 octave voice range up from E1 with amazing quality across his full ranges...think about that...Geoff is a stunning performer. See Headless Horseman & Black Bird just for fun!!
He’s already the bass and founding member of VoicePlay since 1997. Check them out.
“This guy makes my testicle hurt” 🤣
1:02 That face ... priceless.
3:52 not Pentatonix, but acapella group VoicePlay. check them out.
I love Geoff's voice. He's so good at layering. He's also an excellent vocal arranger, he arranged the vocals for Home Free's cover of Elvira feat. The Oak Ridge Boys. Check his cover of Bare Necessities, Blackbird and Mele Kalikimaka feat. The American Sirens. I like your reaction. Ciao!
Welcome to the world of Geoff Castellucci. As others have pointed out, he's the bass singer for the acapella group VoicePlay, which is for my money, my favorite acapella group that I've found. Their theatricality is legitimately delightful, and quite frankly, there isn't a weak link within the group. Some might not feature as strongly in some songs as in others, but there was really no dead weight in the group. They did lose one of their original members about a year ago now, and they're currently in the phase of featuring a number of guest singers as, what seems like, a kind of extended audition process... seeing who works well with the group and who the fans react well to. They went through a similar process a few years back when another member had departed the group, and one of the guest singers that they worked with a number of times eventually was announced to be the new permanent member. On the whole, though, I would say that they take their performance very seriously as a group without taking _themselves_ too seriously... and I think that is a lot of what I appreciate about them. Pentatonix... just look like they're way too serious and intense these days, and it actually kind of kills me on them. VoicePlay... they're not afraid to still dress up in silly costumes, like for their Little Mermaid medley last year.
You should hear Tim Foust in "Peter Hollens and Tim Foust - Misty Mountains", Peter is a Master of layering his voice while Tim is a living Subwoofer
"He made my testicles hurt and he took my girl" Yep..that's Geoff for ya.. 😄😆😁
I LOVE this guy's reactions. He is as amazing to watch as it is for Geoff to sing. LOVE IT!.
Castellucci sauce???
Your shock is genuine. Geoff has an unbelievable voice. Tim Foust is also amazing.
Interesting harmony. Like to follow this singer. Thank you Soul !
Super beautiful music! Keep I really like it!
Geoff does the arrangements and editing for Voiceplay, too. His voice is beyond amazing, so is all his musical and editing talents! Voiceplay is the best a capella voice group out there today, imo.
Headless horseman, mind blowing
This guy makes my Testicle hurt.....
me - 😐🤨🤔🙂😁😄😆😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I am old enough to remember Tennessee Ernie Ford singing this song. I think he would approve. Love your channel.
Welcome to the world of basso profundo singers, Geoff Castellucci, Tim Foust, and Avi Kaplan are my favorites!
Imagine a version of "Louis Armstrong - Wonderfull World" performed by Geoff, Tim and Avi ... i kinda feel sorry for subwoofers :D
None of the three are basso profondos. Well, maybe Geoff is a high profondo, but he's closer to basso cantante or middle bass with extreme extension on both sides
@@dmytrotsvyntarnyi799 I am definitely not an expert, however it is my understanding that all three can hit all required notes with the tone and quality necessary. It is also my understanding that Tim can go both higher and lower than Geoff but that may be a rumor. I've also recently heard that the need for a microphone may be the difference here, but obviously I have never heard what these men are capable of without one. Nor in a truly operatic or choral style, and would be very interested in your take on what qualities are necessary for a true profondo.
@@rowan7474 Hey friend! If I may kindly suggest, look up "Volga Boat Basso Profundo Trio". I think those three voices will serve well as references for profundi.
@@keoashford1924 I'd been meaning to get to that, I'm playing it now! I do wonder what Avi, Geoff, and Tim could do in classical or classical crossover, or opera. It feels very apples to oranges trying to compare the various styles. I hear definite similarities and differences, but I'm not sure how much of that is a product of genre. That is however a beautiful arrangement, incredible tonal quality, and resonance as well. Perhaps if enough people asked, they might give something like this a shot for comparison. It would certainly be an interesting exercise both musically and intellectually. Unfortunately my musical education was stunted by being assaulted in choir class in middle school, or I might have a better understanding of music theory. I just never went back.
Priceless reaction! Welcome to the basement where Geoff's voice lies! 😉
Definetly check out acappela grouo VoicePlay!! He is the bass there...who knew!
Definitely react to his blackbird cover
Супер! Супер! Спасибо огромное! Я в восхищении!!
Don’t know if anyone else has mentioned it, but all the sound you heard was Geoff’s voice he made it I fully acapella. He’s in an acapella group VoicePlay and they have made some amazing videos too!! :)
You definitely need to do Voiceplay's Oogie Boogie with him as lead. So worth the shock!
Geoff is one of the three most popular A Capella bass singers right now from three of the most popular five person A Capella groups. Geoff from Voiceplay, Tim from Home Free, and Avi formerly from Pentatonix. They are all extremely talented with outrageous vocal ranges. Although each one has a different timbre, they are all just as talented and enjoyable to listen to. It's quite a rabbit hole to start down listening to these three groups.
Take me home country roads, cover by Geoff is also pretty amazing!
You need to see some of voiceplay as well. the really great part for all 5 of the musicians in this group isn't JUST that they are completely, AWESOMELY talented...... They ALL work really hard at their craft and unlike some groups/artists, they seem to consider reaction videos as a complement not as some sort of attempt to cash in on them.
Also they are complete professionals in person. (also, also they are JUST as great live as they are with the post production sound in videos like this one.)
I saw their set at the Christmas Party in the Magic Kingdom at Walt Disney World a few years ago and I promise you Geoff's range is just as clear and his diction is just a sharp in person as it is here and without any editing tricks. The same is true of the other members of the group as well.
Enjoy going down the rabbit hole of this great group. I hope to see more videos like this one from you
Only 4 now, geoff layne jessie and eli
You've opened the Geoff can. Now you have to check out and do the reactions to all of his and VoicePlay's content. It's a fun wormhole to go down once you've experienced the amazing spectacle that is Geoff Castellucci.
Geoff Castellucci is a Bass Beast.
Geoff has a 5 octave range check him out on his channel & with Voiceplay of which he is the bass for them, great group with amazing voices
If you're liking bass singers, there are a few a capella groups that you might want to check out. Geoff Castellucci is with a group called Voice Play. Then Tim Foust is with Home Free. And Avi Kaplan is doing his own work now, but you can find him in older Pentatonix videos. They are all phenomenal with each of them having a totally different sound. I know that Tim and Geoff have 5+ octave ranges and I imagine Avi is pretty close if he doesn't actually have the 5+... All 3 groups are insanely talented.
I’m late finding this, hope you see it. I really enjoyed the way you focused on his tone. Many focus so much on just how low the notes can be, but it’s the quality of tone throughout all his range that impresses me. Gorgeous!
I do hope you consider looking into the group he is in - VoicePlay. I’m very impressed by each of them. Every one of them have great range along with wonderful tone. But they also can change their tones well to fit many genres and even characters.
Awesome isn't he, he has a beautiful voice.
I could listen all day, every day to him. Absolutely love him. His voice is like liquid caramel, smooth & rich.
LOVINGLY SIGNED, 💋
A PROUD FAN
Idk if anyone said this yet, but this song is sung in all chest for his low end. I personally find that very impressive, especially due to how he goes to an F#1.
I'm a Baritone. I have managed to do that note a couple of times when I was quite drunk (Loose vocal-chords), but not that clear and long
I appreciate that the man called 'Soul' has a soul patch. It's the only acceptable facial hair style for someone with that name and I love it. :)
Hahahaha...soul patch?? In Australia it's called a muffty:)
You should listen to his version of _Blackbird_ -- it's absolutely entrancing.
🙂👍❣🎼💥 He is fantastic
Geoff is in an acapella group like Pentatonix; called Voiceplay. He can go so much lower than this. Hope you check out more!
Geoff can do tenor as well. He has a 5 octave range - goes from B0 to A5. He is part of VoicePlay, performs, arranges, staging, cameras, his wife Kathy is the production manager for his solos. He and Layne take turns doing the next upcoming video. Layne is VoicePlay's beatboxer. If you want to hear some of his range, try the Beatles Blackbird, or High and Dry. If you like Halloween, try the Monster Mash or the Headless Horseman.
Best reaction to this video yet.
I think in terms of actual instruments, there’s some mild percussion and something like a maraca. I think he did include a bass or a cello towards the beginning, just plucking those really low strings in time to the clapping. It’s very subtle, and mixes so well with his voice, I’m not 100% certain, but I could swear I hear a couple notes in that one section
He’s in another acapella group, Voice Play. They have so many good videos on youtube. Several of them dressing up as characters from the movies the soundtrack is from etc. (Oogie Boogie song, Moana Medley, the Little Mermaid Medley - and lots of others). Geoff Castelucci has a couple of videos on how he’s able to sing as low as he does.
Also check out Home Free, if you haven’t already.
Blackbird and High And Dry are also incredible! Go down the Geoff rabbit hole, he has many fans and I'm sure you will get plenty of traction!
Geoff has also, on requests, read "The little mermaid" and some poem from .... Dang first name gone. Poe. So the day he cant sing he can probably get a comfortable pay working with reading audio books. :) Audible should try and recruit him. :P
Edgar Allen Poe!
@@OceanMan88 Thank you! That was the name i was looking for. :)
He could prob read the phone book and I would listen. His voice is amazing.
@@katherinehite1635 Oh yes, i totally agree. :)
Geoff is in an a capella group called ' Voice play' they have a over of the oogie boogie man from the disney movie 'the nightmare before christmas, Geoff shows his range real good in that song.
If you want to hear his full range in a very fun song with his acapella group, you have to check out Voiceplay’s Oogie Boogie Song! It’s beyond awesome, and my absolute favourite from Voiceplay, and one of Geoff’s best. He plays the main character of Oogie Boogie, with his group members as other characters from Nightmare Before Christmas. Highly recommend this song!
Anytime it's bad day, I listen to this video. It always cracks me. Sore testicles? Really?
