This was awesome boys!!! Great break down!!
Thanks brother! 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼
Geoff was born in Virginia & Orlando is north enough to still have a pretty southern feel. Geoff definitely has a southern vibe in his accent, it’s not super prominent, but it shows up throughout his regular speech. Also, as far as practice goes Geoff is 41 & he has been a professional singer since he was 18 so he only has a 23 year lead on you 😂
Not gonna lie, the first time I saw Geoff, I thought he was in his early 30s.... Maybe late 20s....
This is what I call Geoff and the Geofftones, harking back to groups of the past. My past that is. :)
Geofftones... love it!
I thought you might enjoy this chuckle re Geoff's outfit -- another reactor (can't remember now, might have been What It Do Dave) was heard to observe that Geoff's bass-ness was so intense that he had to wear a straitjacket to hold it all in. Heh.
Awesome! 😂
The soothing thing with bass voices is real. When my kids were babies id they were fussy their grandpa would lay with them on his chest and just drop his voice and talk, boom quiet baby. I think it's the vibrations rocking your bones LOL.
Ive had ex's do that too.
That E1 gets me every time. He always hits it so solidly!
And I had never heard of a Picardy third until Geoff put this one out. Thanx for your reaction, you are always fun to watch!
Feels like Geoff meets Trans-Siberian Orchestra wearing Cossack meets Star Trek.
You do realize that at the end you started referring to “them”? (Don’t worry, at one point I found myself thinking how much I liked the solo from the one on the right.)
I think if you heard Jeff talk, you’d find that he comes by the southern accent naturally. And he doesn’t always sound southern when singing low notes. But one thing I especially like is his diction. Unlike some singers, there’s never any doubt what words he’s singing.
I do like your reactions. Keep ‘em coming!
Really enjoyed the addition of Doobie to the reaction. He added a new facet of seriousness to your crazy antics!
I watch a lot of reactors and several that concentrate on the formation of the sounds. They often say that they will alter the vowel that they’re using to make it clear what they’re singing or to be able to sustain a note longer.
Jennifer Glazhofer (not sure I spelled that right) and Peter Barber ( also a bass with a lower speaking voice than Geoff) have remarked several times on this. Peter is a bass himself has stated that it takes less effort to sustain a note with some vowel sounds. I think Elizabeth from the Charismatic Voice has also discussed this a few times.
I think it also has to do with the amount of volume that is necessary for a low note to travel. A soprano doesn’t have to work as hard to get her notes heard from a distance because higher frequencies travel more quickly. But a bass has to use different techniques to get those sounds to come across at full volume. Geoff has often remarked that he is a quiet singer so I think it’s probably more so for him because of the techniques he uses to get to those low notes especially since his voice is so smooth compared to some of the others.
I'm glad you like me as an addition! I enjoy hanging out with these dudes. I appreciate how eloquently you put all that. It's definitely what I meant to say but instead I just tripped over my words.
Here in Michigan, he would have escaped from Traverse City.
I've heard the Geoff was born in West Virginia, and of course, he has lived in Florida since he was young. So, some of the accent might be natural. Other times, it could be a choice. I know as a soprano, I have to modify some vowels when hitting high pitches.
Just Virginia, not the western annex. But there's plenty of twang here.
Jacket is akin to a modernised straight jacket because he went crazy on this track
“Wake up and piss excellence” is my new morning mantra! 🤣
I would love a side by side comparison. Prepare for some feisty comments. Peeps have faves 😎
That is a reference to the movie "Talladega Nights" I'm glad you found it as enjoyable as I did.
Voiceplay’s What Do You Get a Wookie for Christmas is insane in the best way.
Thanks Ronnie
Tim is from Texas. Geoff is from Virginia. I'm not sure where Avi is from originally, but he has a very folky vibe.
What I am haphazardly trying to explain is that certain pitches will project better with different vowel shapes in your mouth, some of which are perceived as a southern accent. I'm pretty sure that all of these guys are originally classically trained as 90% of singers are which would kill the chance with singing in a "southern accent" unless it is stylistical like what Tim mostly does.
Thanks for the reaction and music theory lesson. You all are great
I scrolled through the comments and I'm surprised I didn't see any comments about what Evanston is. Lol I just drove through there this morning.
🔥🔥💯💣💣🎄🎄
I'm giving the southern accent to the fact that Tim is from Texas and Geoff is from Virginia.
I don't hear it as much with Avi.
Recommendations: 16 Tons and Far Over the Misty Mountain Cold… both by Geoff

Loved this! I’m always excited to listen to you guys react to different videos. The stuff you guys touch on is so interesting and I learn new things all the time. I was really looking forward to this video and you guys did not disappoint. Thanks for being awesome!
Geoff is definitely one of my top three basses, Avi will always be first though, that tone kills. But I love all the multi Geoff videos.
The institution for the hopelessly insane of Idaho is in Orofino. And every state has one or more. But what's hilarious is that the Orofino High School mascot's name is the "Maniacs". Or at least used to be, and that without a subsidy from Warner Bros. Probably succumbed to rampant PC by now, though.
My boys!!! Was waiting eagerly for this one 👌🏻
Great to have ya, Luke! 🤘🏼
Ok the Sea of Thieves comment cracked me up, hubby runs with the big ole pirate too lol
I really really appreciate the valid and in depth music theory knowledge yall drop without being pretentious or smarmy. Really enjoying your reactions
🙏🙏🙏🙏
11:00 - History Nerd, never been to Wyoming, but I'm always curious about local lore, so I paused to google Evanston, WY. Nothing of interest on Wikipedia, so I spent a few minutes typing various searches. Finally found the Wyo History website. First note: the massacre of Chinese residents in 1885. I don't really see Geoff's coat as "Chinese," it's a bit more Cossack if anything, so I read more. Second historical note: it's the home of the Wyoming Insane Asylum. Ahhhhh... now THAT makes sense why you'd think it looks like he "escaped."
My "History Nerd" itch is satisfied, and now I know more about Evanston, WY, than probably anyone else in Oregon.
Wyoming cowboy and outlaw history is the stuff you wanna look into. Pretty wild shit!
Hoping you guys have seen Home Free: Do You Hear What I Hear! Thank you all! Merry Christmas, have a wonderful holiday everyone!
Also, how high does he go?! We focus on the low but he's hitting all the high notes as well. I think he has a 5 octave range?
Same full range as Tim.
I love your Energy and Casual Style Guy 🎄 !! Keep Up the Good Work !
Have a great holiday guys thanks for the great videos
Happy Holidays to you as well, Aaron! Thank you for your commitment! 🤘🏼😎🤘🏼
I was hoping you would get to this one! Awesome...!
I learn so much listening to you guys! This is fascinating. Never noticed how the mouth shape affected voice before. (Also, hi Doobie, good to see you again!) Sometimes when my eyes are overstrained and I need to rest them, I'll just put a playlist of your reactions on to chill to -- it's like listening to a really engaging podcast or radio program (I mean that as a compliment; hope it comes across that way).
I'm glad you enjoy my shenanigans on the channel. I have fun BSing with my friends.
Home Free -- Cold Hard Cash
Next week! 🤘🏼🤘🏼
What's up FAM! I'm here for it! 💪😎
Hey guys justed wanted to wish you a Very Merry Christmas, and Hoping the New Year brings you much Happiness, Love and continued success. Found a very funny Christmas video. Straight No Chaser, 12 Days of Christmas. They are all over the place in the song with some fun surprises, and it shouldn't be on lockdown for copyright. Straight No Chasers was also on the Sing Off.
Also Doobie is a great addition as his knowledge of music is amazing.
Awesome job guys. Check out Home Free Helplessly Hoping off mic. It is a live version with no mics. It will show how good they actually sound
Cool... Doobie is back! Can't for you gents to drop your song. Love to you all from .Newfoundland. #thanksronnie #307reacts #sauceydad #sheawhatnow
Thanks for the live Andrea!
please check out Pentatonix version of God rest ye merry gentlemen and their Oh come all ye faithful/ thanks in advance
Yeah, I never really thought about it being a thing before, but... he totally turned this into a christmas scarol... Definitely much more intense than the standard carol.
If you want to see one man sing 20 parts plus vocal percussion, try Sam Robson. Start with Circle of Life. Amazement will follow.
Got a Type O Negative vibe... .... Deep and well trained..
Blessings y'all
Dang! Haven’t heard that name in a hot minute!! Salute! 🤘🏼😎🤘🏼
P.s. what part of Wyoming, friend??
CASPER..❣😉
Hey guys Geoff just came out with a new video please check it out. Love your reactions
Is it me, or does Geoff look a little like Bruce Campbell in certain moments in this?
You need to react to Jared Halley he does 12-16 parts
For a pure bass singer who holds the Guinness World Record for the lowest recorded frequency, 0.189hz and an official 10 octave vocal range which he can unoffically add two more octaves to, I'd like to see your reaction to Tim Storms, your choice of his songs or interviews!
Heres a good link; th-cam.com/video/xtAltg0ZIrY/w-d-xo.html
You say "com-forth"? It's pronounced: kuhm-frt, so yeah, drag that out as a long note and it is "fert". That really isn't an example of changing vowels to reach certain notes.
edit: lol I went back to when you said "listen to when he sings 'comfort'" and you literally pronounced it the same way he does lmao ('cause, y'know.. that's how it's pronounced)
Geoff does a really good job of being very conscious of how he shapes phrases and making sure that unaccented syllables stay unaccented. That in conjunction with how he shapes is vowels is the epitome of proper classically trained singing opposed to how you would here your local church choir singing. They would say "com-fort" where as Geoff basically uses an eh-schwa like you would in in normal speech instead of a tall O vowel.
I'm sorry you have to use the Lords name in vain. Other than that you are cool.
go look at Pentatonix better
