Everything he does is incredible but his Shenandoah always brings tears, it's so beautifull. And Tennessee Whisky was the first time I ever heard/saw him and fell totally in love with the man. :) Now I love the whole group of course, but he was the first. And you never forget your first.
@@huldradraco I no longer get goosebumps, maybe it's old age or a neurological condition I have, but I cry insead, and get tingles - mostly in my thighs!
This is so nice to see! In all of the excitement about his low notes sometimes people overlook his agility, timbre, and breath control which, in my opinion, are what really make him so extraordinary.
I appreciate the notes being listed for a lot of the clips! Helps me to appreciate them even more! (Also can't believe my eyes brushed past this video on your channel till now, and that TH-cam hasn't recommended it to me! Do better TH-cam!)
No matter what octave Geoff sings in, that beautiful rich tone is a delight to hear. I love these compilation videos Huldra, thanks for another great one! 🙂👍
Geoff's voice and the way he controls it are the most amazing I ever heard! Yet, he manages to get even better and better! 🔥 I love that Grace Kelly clip, I play that whole video every now and then! Great to see this is "part 1", meaning more will be coming, yay!! Thanks so much for this!
Geoff's range and agility is absolutely amazing, and I almost feel like he sounds like different people depending on what part of his range he is in. I admire every inch (or should I say every half-inch 😉) of his range, but I especially love the smoothness of his mid-range, which is probably why my favorite of his is Shenandoah, because the baritone part shines so beautifully in that song ❤
My pleasure! Thanks for watching! Yeah, there are many singers who can have a very large range, but not all of them are able to sound great in all of it.
@@huldradraco Exactly. He can real low and real high without effort. And from one to the other like he does it every day. He has the most soothing voice I've ever heard as well. His narrations help me relax when I lay down to rest or go to sleep.
I love Geoff's voice in every range (deep rumbling thick bass resonates in every corner of my body and spirit) I genuinely love his tenor range just as much if not more than his basso profundo! It is rounder and fuller than most tenors and has a sweetness of tone that's hard to beat. He also achieves the perfect amount of "spin" without adding much vibrato, which is probably a result of all the work he has clearly put in, but which I think is also just as likely a part of his natural vocal gift. The agility is the result of lots of work, and it's equally as stunning as his unmatched range. I *used* to have that kind of vocal agility and a range from C3 to F6 (I always wanted but didn't have a whistle range) But I lost all my upper range due to a surgeon accidentally severing my superlaryngeal nerve in a spinal surgery. :(
@hulradraco. Another fantastic compilation.. I don't read music, play it or sing. But I know those letters and numbers mean he's extremely talented.. So glad he has a lovely wife who is able to share it all with him and between them put out this fabulous content.... P
Thank you :-) Yeah, the numbers are telling what octave he is in (0-2 roughly in bass, 3-4 roughly in baritone, 5-6 roughly in tenor) and some of them are quite impressive to be able to reach in your normal chest voice, or for a bass singer to be able to reach and reach well. Kathy is a huge support and help for Geoff, and for VoicePlay. She works her butt off, in addition to being an amazing mom. ❤💪
I love him and his voice and his readings are brilliant but his deep dark tones for me go straight to the soul the vampires warriors demons amazing they make a deliciouse shiver run up and down your spine
Another great video, Huldra! As good as that slide is in Queen In Five Minutes though, my favorite part is the evil laugh. Same thing in Enemy. A reactor recently pointed out something in 16 Tons I'd missed -- the smile from far right Geoff while lead Geoff does the "super dramatic bend to low F#." So fun.
I believe it was new reactor David K, who pointed that smile out, I'd missed it too. Having watched all of Geoffs & most of VP's videos dozens of times (at least), it amazes me how I could have missed anything, but then they do pack a whole lot of everything into all that they do! 🙂
True, Suzy! Even after watching their videos so many times, I still pick up new details by paying attention to a different clone or a different member each time.
Geoff is referring to his tessitura... his range that can be reproduced at-will and outside of a studio setting. His total range is over 5 octaves, but what he can be called on to use on a mic outside the studio is just a hair over 4 octaves. My total range is 7 octaves, 9 semitones... outside of a studio, this shrinks to E1-B5... or a hair over 4 octaves. Singing in a choir, this shrinks even more to about G1-B5.
in total, Geoff's range is just over 5 octaves, yes. But he was talking about his natural every day range. He wasn't counting subharmonics or growls, or other special techniques, and he wasn't counting notes that require a special time of day, or a rare day where his voice is lower or higher than normal, or after doing light trauma to his voice to get an extra low note. :-)
@@huldradraco, exactly. And outside of a studio, VERY few people can do what Geoff does or reproduce a 4 octave range... in truth, the average vocal range outside a studio is only 1.8 octaves. And, of those who have larger ranges, surprise, surprise, the majority are low baritones or basses, which are rare to begin with.
Also Geoff's claim of being a "baritone with a bass range" is even funnier/more absurd when you hear actual examples of him singing in baritone range (e.g. Shenandoah and In The Air Tonight) and it's distinctly a step higher than his typical singing register XD
Very true. Though I do kinda understand why he feels that way, since he has a lot more power and flexibility in his baritone range. He hasn't had as much of that in his bass range, but I feel that's been getting better as well these past few years since he started up his solo channel. So I think that may just have been a lack of practice due to all his years mainly singing the bass lines for VoicePlay.
Yeah basically this man is a bass who gulped down a baritone who swallowed a tenor... really being this good on top of being this gifted is kinda offensive
Yeah, he did slide down to an A0 for a fraction of a second there. It doesn't count as a sustained note, and it's not the first time he's slid down to an A0 at the end of a big slide. But pretty cool 🙂
I can hit E1 in chest, C#1 in chest-fry, down to Eb0 with subharmonics, G negative one with pure fry, up to B4 in chest, E5 in head voice, C#6 in falsetto, to E7 with whistle notes, for a total range of 7 octaves, 9 semitones. Do you know what I can't do? Sing as well as Geoff... very few people can control their range at-will the way Geoff can.
Magical voice geoff castellucci has he uses it perfectly WOW 😮❤

Shenandoah is my absolute favorite of his, when the second Geoff starts singing I just close my eyes and the goosebumps explode. Every single time 🥰
@@huldradraco I no longer get goosebumps, maybe it's old age or a neurological condition I have, but I cry insead, and get tingles - mostly in my thighs!
@@christinestromberg4057 I get goosebumps with both Shenandoah and Tennessey whiskey.. 😍 I love his baritone range..
You might even say that he has fun exploring every half-inch! (Sorry, couldn't resist!) Another great video, thank you!
that last half inch makes all the difference! 😄😄
This is so nice to see! In all of the excitement about his low notes sometimes people overlook his agility, timbre, and breath control which, in my opinion, are what really make him so extraordinary.
Alternative title: Geoff Castellucci the walking piano
hahaha. he bought the whole piano, he's gonna *use* the whole piano! 😄😄
Check that, he's a walking piano, bass guitar, and drum set, all in one. And yes he can beatbox.
I appreciate the notes being listed for a lot of the clips! Helps me to appreciate them even more!
(Also can't believe my eyes brushed past this video on your channel till now, and that TH-cam hasn't recommended it to me! Do better TH-cam!)

Yep, that's my favorite of his as well. Baritone Geoff is just..... *goosebumps* 🥰🥰🥰
@@huldradraco It really does 😉 To me that whole song is both goosebumps and bliss, but yes baritone Geoff is definitely a big part of that 💖
Also i love it when he wiggles the shoulders lol
😄
Gorgeous compilation. He really is something special.
Couldn't agree more! Thanks for watching ❤
Just remembered that I was gonna say that I can't believe this video is missing the end of If I Was A Rich Girl/Man!
No matter what range he sings in he has a beautiful voice. His range is amazing.
Thank you Huldra for another great video.

11/11. THANK YOU FOR THE REPLYING AND THE INFORMATION THAT YOU SENT!
