Well, Voiceplay is releasing the Wicked Medley on Thursday which i have listened to at least 20 times since they released it to Patreon supporters. It is definitely one of their best, and I'm pretty sure Layne turns into an actual drum set at one point. Oh, and you haven't reacted to Halo yet which is also a must.
The four steps are from the original universal monster film poster poses. Frankenstein holding out both arms, the wolf man with hands by sides howling up at the moon in half profile, Dracula hiding behind his cape hanging from his arm and finally the mummy with his arms bandaged to his chest. Cooooool. Steve
New to the wonderful world of Geoff and Voiceplay. Can't get enough. I noticed in this video; his wife's hand is visible and she vibrates when Geoff hits the D1.
The random woman is his wife, Kathy :) She's been in at least 2 other videos. She came in at the end of Daddy Sang Bass with the rest of the Voiceplay families....and she was one of the gossipy girls in Boy Bands in 5 Minutes, along with Eli's wife, Layne's wife, and Earl's hubby. :)
If you go find the 2 oldest videos on Geoff's channel you'll see a more personal side to Kathy and Geoff. Not suitable as videos to react to really but so lovely to watch.
Apart from his voice, one of my favorite things about Geoff is his sense of humor. You sometimes miss the little aside bits in the Voiceplay tunes, like his expression when J.None steals his line at the end of the Little Mermaid Medley. But he has a lot of byplay with Layne (who is funny as heck) and he’s just fun to watch.

So many times have I watched this. Love Geoff's arrangement and his wife Kathy on the couch the whole time. Another reactor said that the dance moves are some kind of Pop & Lock. Kathy also did the make-up. Notice far-right Geoff is doing the Floss at the end.
it was also mentioned that the Pateron version still shows the dancing Geoff's when it zooms into the main Geoff when he talk/sings and that the Dancing Geoff's antics were hilarious.

Monster Mash It's even cleverer that you know. Geoff has said elsewhere “Did you pick up on the "la la la" section? It's Bach's toccata and fugue in d minor, just shuffled and swung”. And at the end, there is a hint of Fur Elise. Clever stuff huh? That is his wife Karhy screaming :) The monsters are Dreacula, Wolfman, and Frankenstein's monster. The dances show Wolfman slashing, and howling, Dracula bowing over his cape, and possibly the mummy being wrapped or a bat wrapped in its wings. And no doubt more.
If you watch closely when he hits his low notes you can see her hand twitch (when in screen). Even she has trouble not reacting to the low notes measured on the Richter scale. Also with the speed shift of the moves, it gives a little more tolerance to timing. If , for example , Dracula Geoff is a 1/4 second off, just speed up a little more or slow it down a bit to match in. Plus the pauses in motion can be cut down to make the start of the motions line up. Regardless he had to be pretty close or it would not have worked. Amazing editing , creativity and well everything.

Love the cha-cha hip swing by the wolfman! His wife, Kathy did the choreography and makeup as well as playing dead on the sofa. (apparently the first video Geoff called 'a horror movie')
The ‘Geoff dance’ is the iconic movements of the classic Universal movie monsters; Fankenstein’s monster’s arms straight out, the Wokeman’s howl, Dracula’s cape and the Mummy’s crossed arms.
Awesome reaction, loved it !!! For the record, the Dracula's accent "whatever happened to my Transylvania twist" was not meant to be Russian... Dracula is from Transylvania, hundred of years under Hungarian leadership, but Romanian territory... So the accent is meant to be either Hungarian, either Romanian
I knew you would love it! His wife also appeared at the end of another of his videos one of the last ones that the bigger guy was in before he parted from the group when they were on a farm or something. AND his SONNNNNNNNNNNNN
How fitting for him to start with the most traditional of scarey music organ solos, only all done in his voice. Not many people catch it, but most of his videos contain ‘Easter eggs’. He put out a full video on Patreon of all four ‘singers’ without close up cuts so we could learn the dance if we wanted. He also gave us a portion of the original video he filmed, which really was much darker, and not the feel he was looking for. I enjoy your reactions so much. Later this week VoicePlay is putting out a Wicked good video that I think you’ll really enjoy. Hope you don’t have to wait this long for that one. 💀

If you like four Bass singers you should look at the video produced by the "The Bass Gang", four Bass voiced singers, Marwen Aymann, Peter Barber, Bobby Waters, and Tomi P, cover of the "Emperor's New clothes"
This is adorable. I love your reactions. Monster Mash is worth more than one watch. Keep an eye on each 'monster' and Geoff himself for each viewing at least. Definitely worth it to see the variations in expressions and cute character quirks for each monster and how blasé the Dr. Frankenstein Geoff is about it. :D

I AM obsessed, too! I watched "Monster Mash" because it caught my eye in my recommended on TH-cam because I love the song at Halloween! I had never heard of Geoff Castellucci before, let alone hear him sing. The very first time I was HOOKED! I stayed up thru the night watching ALL of his videos and then many of the Vocal Group "VoicePlay" in which he was in. I love ❤️ his voice. His videos are fun to watch, playful and his voice... OMG! 4 Octaves! Holy moly! I'm sharing my discovery with family and friends! 😍
Great review. Geoff does such a good job in his videos. One of the reasons I watch him and Voiceplay is because it reminds me of the years I lived in NYC and all the theater productions and musicals I attended. Loved the emoji at the end.
Thank you for your comment. Did you like the new reaction video I just posted to Geoff? Also, hope to see you tomorrow on our live stream: www.twitch.tv/MaggieReneeMusic?
I love Geoff's cover of this song! It is now my favorite version! I can't wait for you to react to Voiceplay's cover of the Halo theme. Geoff hits his lowest note ever! 🤯 Great reaction! 🥰 💀
Thank you for your comment. Did you like the new reaction video I just posted to Geoff? Also, hope to see you tomorrow on our live stream: www.twitch.tv/MaggieReneeMusic?
@@maggiereneemusic Yes I did like the new reaction....Just watched it a few minutes ago.... Unfortunately I wont be able to make the live stream as I don't have twitch....And it is way too early in the morning for me...I live in Australia.....
Loved the reaction to this. I see a lot of reaction videos where they stop just to see what note Geoff hit this time. So far, I've heard him hit a couple of notes lower than D1, I think he admits to B0 being his lowest. Rumour has it that he hit A0 once and he denied it, but then he tells everyone he's a tenor, so you are never sure what to believe. I guess you'll be receiving lots of letters in the post from guys who will want to do some video productions with you after what you said here. The wedding comes first of course :)
Happy Holidays and thank you for your comment! 🎅🎄🎁 Did you enjoy my new reaction video I just posted to Geoff? Also, there is still time to become my Patron for 2021 and beyond, if you are interested: www.patreon.com/MaggieRenee Thank you for your support! 💖
The props Geoff is receiving for synching up the actions of the Geoff Quartet couldn't have happened without a click track. Instead of burying the click track in post production different voices or sounds were applied to it and it just blended right in with the rest of the background. Fur Elise got riffed on three times leading up to the conclusion, and I wouldn't be surprised if the piano sound is a 'honkytonk' setting option on his keyboard. This is why I enjoy Geoff's solo work, he's not shy about using what's available to get the best result.
Thank you for your comment. Did you like the new reaction video I just posted to Geoff? Also, hope to see you tomorrow on our live stream: www.twitch.tv/MaggieReneeMusic?
The Castellucci Quartet! Four Geoff’s are better than one. Fab song arrangement, Fab video. Maggie was clearly having lots of fun watching this, But she still has to stop and find out ‘Holy Cheesemuffins what note was that?’ Geoff’s voice does that to you. Maggie takes you inside and outside the music in a really enjoyable way. Great editing too, especially all the ‘guest dancers’ 💀
This was shot at Layne Stein's studio, Pattycake Productions in Orlando. Geoff credits both Layne and Tony for their assistance with the design of this video.
Thank you for your comment. Did you like the new reaction video I just posted to Geoff? Also, hope to see you tomorrow on our live stream: www.twitch.tv/MaggieReneeMusic?
Like you said, it was sped up a little. He actually performed the entire dance at half speed and simply doubled it. He does also have a background learning choreography as well. A couple of the older Voiceplay (Orlando based group) guys got their start doing the stage shows at Disney World. I believe it's also how they know Rachel Potter who's featured in what feels like dozens of their videos. Kathy also does a lot of the production work for Voiceplay, as well as Geoff's solo work. It's hard to find a single video where she isn't credited.
Thank you for your comment. Did you like the new reaction video I just posted to Geoff? Also, hope to see you tomorrow on our live stream: www.twitch.tv/MaggieReneeMusic?
This was definitely a fun one! If you rewatch the video and keep an eye on Kathy, you'll see her twitch on a couple of the extreme low notes. Also, if you watch the Voiceplay Halo Theme video, you'll hear Geoff hit a new personal record low. That whole video is unbelievable. The video is also a nice tribute to one of their members who passed recently.

Wonderfully presented Maggie. Loved every comment and your total immersion into the dance had me trying the same thing. Made my morning go from good to great and I had to put Geoff's video on loop for 2 hours... Almost have the dance down, now to learn how to carry a tune. Again, thanks for sharing your passion.

Geoff is the best! I'm so happy you enjoyed it so much! That's how I felt since the first time I watched it, and a zillion times later, I love it more and more each time! 💖🔥🤯👻🎃😍 Did you see the right Geoff flossing at the end? He pays so much attention to every detail! I love him!!
Thank you for your comment. Did you like the new reaction video I just posted to Geoff? Also, hope to see you tomorrow on our live stream: www.twitch.tv/MaggieReneeMusic?
Ok. I know you did this 6 months ago but if you liked the dancing in this you will love love love his new release of way down. I love watching your reactions. You are so much fun!
Holy Cheesemuffins you have the BEST reactions. You get so into things, and the music, and the dancing, I might watch this reaction video more than I have watched Geoff’s Monster Mash! I loved the evolution of the “Mash” as the song goes on, and that so few people see his wife there from the very beginning, you can see her twitch every time he goes subharmonic. The details make this amazing, and you make it even more amazing!! And the “zombie” Geoff flossing at the end, OMG!!!

Glad you enjoyed it as much as I though you would when I sponsored it. Edit: The first shoot was apparently too horror moviesque for Geoff's taste, so he re-did it to get this version.
So sorry I missed the premiere this morning. It’s been a day. But as always, love watching your reactions. The editing made this one even more fun than I could have hoped. Dance along with Maggie! 🤣 See you on Saturday! 💀
Thank you for your lovely comment. Did you like the new reaction video I just posted? Hope to see you TONIGHT on my LIVE stream www.twitch.tv/MaggieReneeMusic?
Great reaction, thanks! 💀 Have you thought about joining Geoff's Patreon? A couple other reactors have. That way you could see all the cool behind-the-scenes stuff. Geoff is really great to his Patrons, and of course he's totally worth supporting! (And he's got merch now, just fyi.) 🙂
You are so great. I really like what you are doing. The way you get excited is wonderfull. Please keep on doing what you're doing. A lot of love from Germany and merry christmas.
FYI the opening vocals are Toccata and Fugue in D minor. The dance moves in order: Frankenstein's Monster, the Wolfman, Dracula and the Mummy all classic Universal Monsters.
You should check out some of the comments that he replied to, honey. I didn't read *all* of them, but one reply he made was "Did you pick up on the "la la la" section? It's Bach's toccata and fugue in d minor, just shuffled and swung." How cool is that, eh?! He turned my fave old party song into a stage musical! His talented, sweet, petite better half did an amazing job as well, helping to make this all come together! Him sounding just like a husband: "Oh. You're awake." And her being just like a wife-telling him how to dress! 🙄🤣😍 This really is my fave song right now, and I swear by all I hold holy-I *will* learn that dance, even if I throw my damn back out doing it! 😎🤕🤣
You're one of few reactors who caught all the small details that made me laugh! (Like the look on Geoff's face on several occasions) If you watch closely, you can catch Kathy's hand twitching when Geoff hits a really low note.
Thank you for your comment. Did you like the new reaction video I just posted to Geoff? Also, hope to see you tomorrow on our live stream: www.twitch.tv/MaggieReneeMusic?
Another good one with Geoff is “My Mother Told Me - Voicplay” his voice if wicked because he’s doing some kind of Celtic throat singing during part of it. Also there’s so many pitch changes, you’ll have to see it to find out!!!
Thank you for your comment. Did you like the new reaction video I just posted to Geoff? Also, hope to see you tomorrow on our live stream: www.twitch.tv/MaggieReneeMusic?
I love his productions of Monster Mash, and "You're A Mean One, Mr. Grinch". Another good production that features Geoff Castalucci is "My Mother Told Me", by Voiceplay. Very impressive low notes there for sure.
Thank you for your comment. Did you like the new reaction video I just posted to Geoff? Also, hope to see you tomorrow on our live stream: www.twitch.tv/MaggieReneeMusic?
@@maggiereneemusic Yes...I like all of your reactions. I'm definitely not a singer (and have not had a music lesson in decades), but I have to admit that I have learned a LOT about singing and music from your reactions. I mean...I had no clue what an E1 was until you mentioned it LOL. But now I can put Geoff's lows and highs into perspective.
Things to watch for: 1) Everytime Geoff hits a low note, his wife (on the left) twitches. 2) The three 'dancers' make the signature poses of classic Universal movie monsters-Frankenstein, Wolfman, Dracula, and the Mummy). 3) As others have mentioned, the LA-LA-LAs are 'Toccata und Fugue'. 4) A little bit of 'Fur Elise' at the end...was nice, It can be a haunting piece when slowed down. 5) Second from left is dressed as a Vampire (red scarf), second from right is dressed as a wolfman (slightly torn/disheveled clothing), and the far right is dressed as Frankenstein's Monster. 6) After left Geoff asks his wife to dance, check out far right Geoff. He starts to do the 'floss' dance.
The song is a silly Halloween favorite. The singing was great and the theatrical part of this was just a lot of fun to watch. I expect he had fun doing it.
I really wish I had maintained my voice, although I could never have hit his highest range I used to be able to match his lowest, and yes, it does shake buildings, which actually makes it difficult to find practice space in most buildings constructed to UK standards (it takes the plaster off the walls). I could never reach as high as a baritone though, never mind a tenor. Geoff covers the whole range! I only ever recorded once, as a member of a male voice choir when we were invited to record by the BBC - and that was really the first time I found out just how deep my voice was, as they had trouble finding a mic for me. I go (or went - my voice has risen with age and lack of practice) off the bottom of a keyboard by a couple of full tones, or even lower with very restricted power. It was beneficial for me as a young man, as when leaning on a chair I could resonate it with my voice, which caused "ahem" effects for any woman or girl sitting in it! :-) A bit later, I linked cause and effect (I'm pretty socially clueless) and reserved that benefit for my wife (34 years now, and kids all grown - none have my voice). I love Geoff's arrangement and performance of this (I wonder what mic HE uses?) and the sense of humour he shows. Absolute gold. And if I sing quietly enough, I can just about sing along with all but the tenor range parts, which adds to the fun (my falsetto has always been very hard to control, and wavers badly - never been scoped, but I suspect pretty thick vocal folds give the depth in the low register and makes the falsetto more challenging). I doubt it would be worth it now unless someone was interested in a scientific research program, as my singing days are a distant memory. I gather it is pretty standard for professional singers now though, and a researcher could just gather subjects by asking around among them. I'd love to know what physical differences set the pitch of someones natural voice though - just out of interest.

I think the best of this quartet was Geoff, LOL!! Great, his versatile voice is impressive, can't decide if this is his best video, all of them are really good!! And it's so funny how he brings out your Extraness every time!! 🤣💀💖
One nice thing you do that other reaction video hosts don't is add your follow-on thoughts into the video, along with animations. So, we get the first-listen reaction, as well as more well-considered thoughts.
This is a great production from Geoff. Amazing range. I think it is like 16 octaves but I could be wrong. You enjoyment was awesome. AND you missed the best dance from monster on the right flossing at the end. Hahaha. Next reaction has to be Home Free Brothers in Arms. That one will leave you speechless

The first makeup effort apparently was overly effective and it looked more like a horror movie that the campy result we actually get to see in the video. I'd love to see the what it looked like. You might not have caught Geoff flossing over on the right as Frankenstein's Monster - something you don't want to miss :) In addition to the bit of fur elise tossed in at the end, he started with Bach's Toccata and Fugue in d Minor as the backdrop for the "la-la-la" in the opening which was a great touch. Thanks for the reaction!!
Geoff actually put the first minute of his original take into a BTS on his Patreon! It's definitely a lot darker - more horror than fun. Cool to see, but I can definitely see why he decided to go more lighthearted.
You missed one major detail! Far left Geoff is Dr Frankenstein…so the Bride of Frankenstein is his RL bride! She was, uh, dead tired for 3/4 of his epic arrangement! Great reaction 😃
Thank you for your comment. Hope to see you TODAY in less than 1 hour on Twitch www.twitch.tv/MaggieReneeMusic for fun LIVE Reactions and on www.patreon.com/MaggieRenee to help support my channel, if you are interested. Thank you and Happy Holidays! 🤗💖
His voice sounds so relaxed here. He looks really comfortable, too. I'm not gonna lie I am a bit jealous as a faux baritenor that I can't flex down anywhere near any of that. The D1 with attitude!
By the way if you don't realize it his three versions of himself that are acting as his own backup singers starting from immediately next to him over to the right they're portraying Dracula, Wolfman, and Frankenstein. Just look at him carefully and you can tell. Easy with the guy in the middle cuz he scratches himself every so often like he's got fleas, that's the part that got me. I listen to this guy all the time I love him too so I sang for many years as well but I was baritone and second tenor I did never hit base at low and the male Glee Club I sang in Virginia Military for four and a half years we never had a bass singer that deep

Such a fantastic performance by Geoff! 💀 I wonder how many takes he did with each character.
Great video as always, Maggie! 🎉

I second this! Peter Barber, one of the singers, is actually a fellow opera artist! Definitely gotta give them a listen!
That would be *amazing*! Their “Bury a Friend” is also exceptionally creepy and yet lovely.
This is adorable. I love your reactions. Monster Mash is worth more than one watch. Keep an eye on each 'monster' and Geoff himself for each viewing at least.

@@maggiereneemusic Just getting ready to look at it. You should check out Voiceplays new release "Wicked". Wow!
😍
I love Geoff's cover of this song! It is now my favorite version! I can't wait for you to react to Voiceplay's cover of the Halo theme. Geoff hits his lowest note ever! 🤯 Great reaction! 🥰 💀
I agree.....

@@maggiereneemusic Yes I did like the new reaction....Just watched it a few minutes ago....
Unfortunately I wont be able to make the live stream as I don't have twitch....And it is way too early in the morning for me...I live in Australia.....
😍
Loved the reaction to this. I see a lot of reaction videos where they stop just to see what note Geoff hit this time.
So far, I've heard him hit a couple of notes lower than D1, I think he admits to B0 being his lowest. Rumour has it that he hit A0 once and he denied it, but then he tells everyone he's a tenor, so you are never sure what to believe.
I guess you'll be receiving lots of letters in the post from guys who will want to do some video productions with you after what you said here. The wedding comes first of course :)
Happy Holidays and thank you for your comment! 🎅🎄🎁 Did you enjoy my new reaction video I just posted to Geoff? Also, there is still time to become my Patron for 2021 and beyond, if you are interested: www.patreon.com/MaggieRenee Thank you for your support! 💖
The props Geoff is receiving for synching up the actions of the Geoff Quartet couldn't have happened without a click track. Instead of burying the click track in post production different voices or sounds were applied to it and it just blended right in with the rest of the background.
Fur Elise got riffed on three times leading up to the conclusion, and I wouldn't be surprised if the piano sound is a 'honkytonk' setting option on his keyboard. This is why I enjoy Geoff's solo work, he's not shy about using what's available to get the best result.

I think this might be the most excited I've seen Maggie thus far. Holy cheeze muffins Goeff is so much fun!
The Castellucci Quartet! Four Geoff’s are better than one. Fab song arrangement, Fab video. Maggie was clearly having lots of fun watching this, But she still has to stop and find out ‘Holy Cheesemuffins what note was that?’ Geoff’s voice does that to you. Maggie takes you inside and outside the music in a really enjoyable way. Great editing too, especially all the ‘guest dancers’ 💀
YAY! Glad you enjoyed! Thank you for your lovely comment and for watching my video until the end. I appreciate it! 😊💀💖
Yes, I thought the dancing mice were cute!
This was shot at Layne Stein's studio, Pattycake Productions in Orlando. Geoff credits both Layne and Tony for their assistance with the design of this video.

Like you said, it was sped up a little. He actually performed the entire dance at half speed and simply doubled it.
He does also have a background learning choreography as well. A couple of the older Voiceplay (Orlando based group) guys got their start doing the stage shows at Disney World. I believe it's also how they know Rachel Potter who's featured in what feels like dozens of their videos.
Kathy also does a lot of the production work for Voiceplay, as well as Geoff's solo work. It's hard to find a single video where she isn't credited.
Thank you for your comment. Did you like the new reaction video I just posted to Geoff? Also, hope to see you tomorrow on our live stream: www.twitch.tv/MaggieReneeMusic?
This was definitely a fun one! If you rewatch the video and keep an eye on Kathy, you'll see her twitch on a couple of the extreme low notes.
Also, if you watch the Voiceplay Halo Theme video, you'll hear Geoff hit a new personal record low. That whole video is unbelievable. The video is also a nice tribute to one of their members who passed recently.

Nice to have fun. We need more of this in this somber age of covid-19.
One of Geoff's best ones so far, I think! Great reaction!! 💀💀💀
So glad you liked it. Thank you for your lovely comment and for watching my video until the end. I appreciate it! 😊💀💖
Wonderfully presented Maggie. Loved every comment and your total immersion into the dance had me trying the same thing. Made my morning go from good to great and I had to put Geoff's video on loop for 2 hours... Almost have the dance down, now to learn how to carry a tune. Again, thanks for sharing your passion.

Geoff is the best! I'm so happy you enjoyed it so much! That's how I felt since the first time I watched it, and a zillion times later, I love it more and more each time! 💖🔥🤯👻🎃😍
Did you see the right Geoff flossing at the end? He pays so much attention to every detail! I love him!!

Maggie. You have the best, and coolest reaction videos on the web. THANKS!
Ok. I know you did this 6 months ago but if you liked the dancing in this you will love love love his new release of way down. I love watching your reactions. You are so much fun!
That was a wonderful reaction and he does a phenomenal job with it.
Thank you for your lovely comment. Did you like my new reaction to The Dead South I just posted?
Just so much fun! I've watched you reaction and analysis 3 times. Gets better each time!
Holy Cheesemuffins you have the BEST reactions. You get so into things, and the music, and the dancing, I might watch this reaction video more than I have watched Geoff’s Monster Mash!
I loved the evolution of the “Mash” as the song goes on, and that so few people see his wife there from the very beginning, you can see her twitch every time he goes subharmonic. The details make this amazing, and you make it even more amazing!!
And the “zombie” Geoff flossing at the end, OMG!!!
Thank you for your lovely comment. Did you like the new reaction video I just posted to Geoff? Also, hope to see you tomorrow on our live stream: www.twitch.tv/MaggieReneeMusic?
All I know is at that depth or sound both my heart and spine go all shivery. Yes please 😁
My favorite reaction from you in a few, fantastic version of the song too
💀💀💀💀💀💀 Love your reactions Maggie. Great job as always even though i was there live ;)

Great review, Maggie 💜! I've been wating for this one since its release date in October 2021. You DID NOT disappoint 😁!
Thank you for your lovely comment. Did you like the new reaction video to Queen I just posted? Hope to see you in 2 hours on my LIVE stream www.twitch.tv/MaggieReneeMusic and on www.patreon.com/MaggieRenee for additional fun events?
this is one of my favorites and you make it so much more fun to watch.
Happy Holidays 🎅🎄🎁 and thank you for your comment! 😊 Hope you enjoyed a new reaction video I just posted?
Glad you enjoyed it as much as I though you would when I sponsored it.
Edit: The first shoot was apparently too horror moviesque for Geoff's taste, so he re-did it to get this version.
I sure did! Thanks again and hope to see you Saturday on Twitch! 😊
@@maggiereneemusic Hopefully I'll still be awake on Saturday and even more hopefully you'll enjoy the original song by Colm as much.
😍
on his patreon you can see the back stage of this and layne did actually have to put his contact for him cauz he was not able to do it lol

You are going to love this! I want to see your reaction to the dancing monsters! 👍🏻🤣🧛♂️
So sorry I missed the premiere this morning. It’s been a day. But as always, love watching your reactions. The editing made this one even more fun than I could have hoped. Dance along with Maggie! 🤣 See you on Saturday! 💀
Oh, this one is so much fun. Enjoy!
Thank you for your lovely comment. Did you like the new reaction video I just posted? Hope to see you TONIGHT on my LIVE stream www.twitch.tv/MaggieReneeMusic?

Great reaction!
🥰🙏

Had so fun watching this one!
Great reaction, thanks! 💀
Have you thought about joining Geoff's Patreon? A couple other reactors have. That way you could see all the cool behind-the-scenes stuff. Geoff is really great to his Patrons, and of course he's totally worth supporting! (And he's got merch now, just fyi.) 🙂
Thank you for your comment and suggestion Hope you can join my Patreon as well. Did you like my new reaction to The Dead South I just posted?
You are so great. I really like what you are doing. The way you get excited is wonderfull. Please keep on doing what you're doing. A lot of love from Germany and merry christmas.
Thank you for your lovely comment and sending Merry Christmas to Germany!
FYI the opening vocals are Toccata and Fugue in D minor.
The dance moves in order: Frankenstein's Monster, the Wolfman, Dracula and the Mummy all classic Universal Monsters.
You should check out some of the comments that he replied to, honey. I didn't read *all* of them, but one reply he made was "Did you pick up on the "la la la" section? It's Bach's toccata and fugue in d minor, just shuffled and swung."
How cool is that, eh?! He turned my fave old party song into a stage musical! His talented, sweet, petite better half did an amazing job as well, helping to make this all come together! Him sounding just like a husband: "Oh. You're awake." And her being just like a wife-telling him how to dress! 🙄🤣😍
This really is my fave song right now, and I swear by all I hold holy-I *will* learn that dance, even if I throw my damn back out doing it! 😎🤕🤣
You're one of few reactors who caught all the small details that made me laugh! (Like the look on Geoff's face on several occasions) If you watch closely, you can catch Kathy's hand twitching when Geoff hits a really low note.

💀💀💀 slept right through the alarm but gave me a great wake up call
Glad you enjoyed! Thank you for your comment and for watching my video until the end. I appreciate it! 😊💀💖
I continue to adore you and your talent.
Yup, D1.. I love your editing on this one!! So fun! I’ve noticed little tidbits on some lately…you went all out on this one! Good job!
Another good one with Geoff is “My Mother Told Me - Voicplay” his voice if wicked because he’s doing some kind of Celtic throat singing during part of it. Also there’s so many pitch changes, you’ll have to see it to find out!!!
It not throat singing; it's a technique called subharmonics.
Thank you for your comment. Did you like the new reaction video I just posted to Geoff? Also, hope to see you tomorrow on our live stream: www.twitch.tv/MaggieReneeMusic?

The emoji is perfect for this video. Thank you Maggie.
Mags, i thought you had already done this one......it is now the definitive version...... i've got Deja vu
He makes it super fun, he is so talented on so many levels, did you catch the floss? … hilarious! Wonderful review as always!
Maggie deep base cover sounds great I'll watch 😆 super reaction as usual my 3rd watch today love it thank yo u
Thank you for your lovely comment. Will you be there for my 195K Subscriber Celebration Live Stream tomorrow?
💀💀🤣🤣 your laugh is so infectious. You look like you have such fun doing these.🤣
I love his productions of Monster Mash, and "You're A Mean One, Mr. Grinch". Another good production that features Geoff Castalucci is "My Mother Told Me", by Voiceplay. Very impressive low notes there for sure.
Thank you for your comment. Did you like the new reaction video I just posted to Geoff? Also, hope to see you tomorrow on our live stream: www.twitch.tv/MaggieReneeMusic?
@@maggiereneemusic Yes...I like all of your reactions. I'm definitely not a singer (and have not had a music lesson in decades), but I have to admit that I have learned a LOT about singing and music from your reactions. I mean...I had no clue what an E1 was until you mentioned it LOL. But now I can put Geoff's lows and highs into perspective.
😍
Things to watch for: 1) Everytime Geoff hits a low note, his wife (on the left) twitches. 2) The three 'dancers' make the signature poses of classic Universal movie monsters-Frankenstein, Wolfman, Dracula, and the Mummy). 3) As others have mentioned, the LA-LA-LAs are 'Toccata und Fugue'. 4) A little bit of 'Fur Elise' at the end...was nice, It can be a haunting piece when slowed down. 5) Second from left is dressed as a Vampire (red scarf), second from right is dressed as a wolfman (slightly torn/disheveled clothing), and the far right is dressed as Frankenstein's Monster. 6) After left Geoff asks his wife to dance, check out far right Geoff. He starts to do the 'floss' dance.
Thank you for your comment. Did you like my new reaction to The Dead South I just posted?
The song is a silly Halloween favorite. The singing was great and the theatrical part of this was just a lot of fun to watch. I expect he had fun doing it.
Wonderful reaction, so fun to see your enthusiasm
I loooove ur geoff reactions
I really wish I had maintained my voice, although I could never have hit his highest range I used to be able to match his lowest, and yes, it does shake buildings, which actually makes it difficult to find practice space in most buildings constructed to UK standards (it takes the plaster off the walls). I could never reach as high as a baritone though, never mind a tenor. Geoff covers the whole range!
I only ever recorded once, as a member of a male voice choir when we were invited to record by the BBC - and that was really the first time I found out just how deep my voice was, as they had trouble finding a mic for me. I go (or went - my voice has risen with age and lack of practice) off the bottom of a keyboard by a couple of full tones, or even lower with very restricted power.
It was beneficial for me as a young man, as when leaning on a chair I could resonate it with my voice, which caused "ahem" effects for any woman or girl sitting in it! :-)
A bit later, I linked cause and effect (I'm pretty socially clueless) and reserved that benefit for my wife (34 years now, and kids all grown - none have my voice).
I love Geoff's arrangement and performance of this (I wonder what mic HE uses?) and the sense of humour he shows. Absolute gold. And if I sing quietly enough, I can just about sing along with all but the tenor range parts, which adds to the fun (my falsetto has always been very hard to control, and wavers badly - never been scoped, but I suspect pretty thick vocal folds give the depth in the low register and makes the falsetto more challenging). I doubt it would be worth it now unless someone was interested in a scientific research program, as my singing days are a distant memory.
I gather it is pretty standard for professional singers now though, and a researcher could just gather subjects by asking around among them. I'd love to know what physical differences set the pitch of someones natural voice though - just out of interest.

Maggie, Geoff Castellucci did kill that song Monster Mash. To me is going to be a masterpiece for every Holloween for him.

Shirley Bassey - GOLDFINGER (2011 Live) At 75 her voice is still incredible.
I think the best of this quartet was Geoff, LOL!! Great, his versatile voice is impressive, can't decide if this is his best video, all of them are really good!! And it's so funny how he brings out your Extraness every time!! 🤣💀💖
I absolutely loved this
Tim Storms: Lonesome Road. ;) Probably know him, but it's so so good.
I can say it definitely feels like a D1 when i copy it (6:18)
One nice thing you do that other reaction video hosts don't is add your follow-on thoughts into the video, along with animations. So, we get the first-listen reaction, as well as more well-considered thoughts.
This is a great production from Geoff. Amazing range. I think it is like 16 octaves but I could be wrong. You enjoyment was awesome. AND you missed the best dance from monster on the right flossing at the end. Hahaha. Next reaction has to be Home Free Brothers in Arms. That one will leave you speechless

It was sooo fun boogying along with you to Monster Mash💀 (Just subed as well😁)
YAY! Welcome! Thank you for your comment. Did you like my new reaction to The Dead South I just posted?
@@maggiereneemusic yup, it was very different from what I usually listen to, but it was cool and enjoyable😊
The first makeup effort apparently was overly effective and it looked more like a horror movie that the campy result we actually get to see in the video. I'd love to see the what it looked like. You might not have caught Geoff flossing over on the right as Frankenstein's Monster - something you don't want to miss :) In addition to the bit of fur elise tossed in at the end, he started with Bach's Toccata and Fugue in d Minor as the backdrop for the "la-la-la" in the opening which was a great touch. Thanks for the reaction!!
Geoff actually put the first minute of his original take into a BTS on his Patreon! It's definitely a lot darker - more horror than fun. Cool to see, but I can definitely see why he decided to go more lighthearted.

You missed one major detail! Far left Geoff is Dr Frankenstein…so the Bride of Frankenstein is his RL bride! She was, uh, dead tired for 3/4 of his epic arrangement! Great reaction 😃
Great reaction to a fabulous video! Love John xx

Oh I never said you can definitely carry a toon you have great talent all around keep it up now I got go back see what's next lol
His voice sounds so relaxed here. He looks really comfortable, too. I'm not gonna lie I am a bit jealous as a faux baritenor that I can't flex down anywhere near any of that. The D1 with attitude!

By the way if you don't realize it his three versions of himself that are acting as his own backup singers starting from immediately next to him over to the right they're portraying Dracula, Wolfman, and Frankenstein. Just look at him carefully and you can tell. Easy with the guy in the middle cuz he scratches himself every so often like he's got fleas, that's the part that got me. I listen to this guy all the time I love him too so I sang for many years as well but I was baritone and second tenor I did never hit base at low and the male Glee Club I sang in Virginia Military for four and a half years we never had a bass singer that deep
