I know people are obsessed with ‘who can go lower. ‘. But for me it’s the strength, smoothness and tonal quality throughout his range that sets Geoff apart. And by the way his name is said like Jeff.
People have to understand..."it's not this how low can you go" competition. It's impressive but so are high notes. I responded to.this in alot of channels. My dad was an F1 but he did not put any effort to sing these notes. It's just how your instrument works. Now you can train it into singing 4 octaves. But you can't go to F1 if you are a Baritone. Every vocalist has his range an bass singers have theirs...
@@minaha1975 I am not a bass at all, definetly a baritone, but I can go to F1 pretty easily once I warm my subharmonics up (same with the baritone instrument, a pedal F is the lowest a skilled player can get consistently). With the right technique a baritone can be just as low and clear down there as a bass, the only advantage is that there are people like eric holloway who are born being able to sing that F1 in chest. lowest I can do is a D2 at 19 before my fry kicks in, but from there I can get to A0. Like you said though, its not about how low, its about the strength and tonal quality. A0-F5 means nothing if it doesn't sound good which is why I am focused above all else on my tone, I want my subs to sound almost effortless, like its chest voice.
Geoff (Jeff) has a nearly 5 octave range plus his falsetto. Listen to his version of The Headless Horseman. Geoff, Avi Kaplan, and Tim Foust are 3 of the best basses currently singing and all have large ranges.
Yes his version of the headless horseman song is brilliant another one he did great was his version of blackbird is has beautiful harmonies with himself
I'm with you! I really enjoy Peter and Tim's version, but Geoff's made me legitimately tear up the first time I heard it. I'm glad he did his own unique interpretation of the song, especially since I'm sure he knew his was going to be constantly compared to other versions. Also, I'm never going to get over how smoooooth his voice is.
I clicked so fast on this. Geoff pronounced Jeff. Pentatonix won the year before Voiceplay and Homefree were on it. I highly recommend going and watching them. Yes Geoff is also singing all parts of the song except instruments. I love your reactions because you are authentic in every reaction. I love your voice as well.
VoicePlay did an awesome version of “ Carry on my wayward son” and “Tennessee Whiskey “ . They just dropped a new one “ If I were a rich man/girl “. They killed it 👍
"If 1+1 is 2 and 3+3 is 6..." Man is trying to calculate how genius this is mathematically lmao, great reaction my guy. Edit: Also you're hilarious and low key you can sing really well
All of these groups are ridiculous and some of the stories of how they came together need a Aca Version of a 30 for 30 it's insane powerball odds stuff
I think of the many bass singers I have listened to. Geoff has the smoothest, most edgey, crisp voice and techniques ever. Sure he can hit the pits of hell with some of his notes but to hit the basement AND keep that smooth cutting clean sound is HARD to do. Many go make their voice low but not many can make it low AND smooth and just technical
Loved your reaction! This cover gives me all the chills - I just love his voice and his incredible arrangement. Please react to more of Geoff! I'd highly recommend 16 Tons or Blackbird.
I'm with you there. Their harmonies are what turned me onto VoicePlay. And then Geoff. Of course. Love your reaction. To see him going across his range see the Oogie Boogie Song or, even better, Coutry Roads. or Blackbird.
Geoff (say: Jeff) has bass singing tutorials on his channel as well as more great cover songs. Geoff has a 5 octave range so he sings all the harmonies for his channel cover songs. Listen to “High and Dry” on his channel for just one voice singing all that range of notes. Thanks for your reaction
Definitely need to do Peter Hollens and Tim Foust doing Misty Mountain. Peter Hollens is a whole nother rabbit hole. Peter does all his vocal layering. He does Amazing Grace with Home Free and also U2's I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For both well worth listening to. Also Home Free doing How Great Thou Art.
Yes. In my personal opinion, I think Peter Hollens ft Tim Foust's version is better. Especially because of the two so different voices. Geoff is a good bass, no question about it. But he alone gives the song something clerical.
@@corinnaschmidt9735 I have them both on my "out and about" playlist and get so into the perfection of each tune I have trouble determining which deep glimpse of Valhalla is which.
Loved your reaction, thank you! You might want to check out Geoff's Blackbird and 16 Tons. VoicePlay is something special and different - I'm always on the edge of my seat because their arrangements and harmonies are so inventive and surprising. They keep evolving through each song, so you simply can't be bored. Geoff or Layne Stein (their beatbox) do 99% of VP arrangements, For VP, you might want to check Warriors, their most recent release - a cover of Fiddler on the Roof's "If I were a Rich Man/Girl" - completely update it & make it stylish while still honoring the original. Carry On My Wayward Son is another excellent one...
You should really consider doing a reaction to this song from Peter Hollens featuring Tim Faust the bass singer from Home Free. The harmonies are insane and the last note drops the bottom out.
"This" is the most perfect rendition of Tolkien's poem about the fall of the Dwarf Kingdom of Erebor to Smaug the Golden,the last great dragon, that I have ever heard.He is singing exactly in Tolkien's description of dwarf singing.
Geoff is a rare talent. His range is just sick. His G1 low notes are the bomb and he uses different techniques - chest, sub harmonic, growl etc. There are lots of great bass singers but Geoff is the king in my book.
Tomi P is definitely my favourite but geoffs chest voice just gets thicker the lower it goes it seems and that last "day" makes me think geoff can just hold a G1 chest for as long as he wants
One request...please turn up volume on video. I had my volume all the way up but still had a hard time hearing the backup vocals. You have a beautiful voice.
It's not just Geoff's range and depth, though those do kick @$$. It's the mellow smoothness of his voice; whiskey wishes it could be so smooth and smokey~
Firstly, I love your shirt.🦩 I’ve spent the day listening to your reactions. My favorite bass is Tim from Home Free but I have to say Geoff can do the impossible with his voice. Gracefully with no evident effort, he glides up the scale of notes from deep, deep inhuman bass without any struggle to higher notes you don’t expect. What a God given voice! I just want to add that you too have a beautiful voice. I think you don’t give yourself the credit you deserve! Again I will say that I love your reactions and emotions. I feel the things you describe you are feeling. God bless you! You are just precious. ❤️🔥
Love your honest reactions, just subbed. You act like me when I first see some of this stuff. Geoff (Jeff) will continue to blow your whole mind and I look forward to the chance to watch you drop down the rabbit hole. Check out his version of Country Roads, 16 tons, and definitely don't sleep on his group Voiceplay. Geoff did one of his best in their cover of Oogie Boogies Song
Please check out Peter Hollens sometime. He has done quite a few collaborations with home free, etc. but he is also one of the best solo acapella/voice layering artists that I've ever heard. His range is pretty ridiculous and his harmonies are angelic. There's not really a specific song in mind. The duet of this song with Tim from home free is amazing. Maybe start there.
The song depicts the night that the ancient dragon Smaug laid siege and waste to the biggest Dwarven Mountain City and made the mountain and its legendary stockpiles of gold and jewels its home. Forcing the Dwarves out and homeless. I remember when I first heard this in the Lord of the Rings I got chills.
You can actually watch/hear the Sing-Off episodes or watch off of VoicePlays list. A couple of my favorite solos by Geoff (Jeff) are Blackbird and High And Dry.
Love the comments "What was that, an F0?" and "frog ribbit". :) I love this reaction. Watch Tim Foust duet with Peter Hollens doing Misty Mountains and the beautiful layers they did. You should also react to Geoff's cover of "Sixteen Tons". I could listen to Geoff sing all day.
If you like low female voices, try Diana Ankudinova, the River. Do the one that’s 3:31 minutes long. That’s the one where she is in the competition and has a whole production with it. Her voice is like no other🤗🐝❤️
The Hobbit is what this is from, one of the first opening chapters! "The unexpected party" Chapter. Long before Game of Thrones. The very first recording of this song I can remember is from the animated version of the Hobbit, from 1977. But Geoff, Man does he kill this version!
He's really good at harmonizing with himself. Geoff's range goes from B0 (in Halo) to A5, very nearly 6 octaves. This from The Hobbit. Check out Hoist the Colours, or Friends on the Other Side, and/or The Oogie Boogie Song from Nightmare Before Christmas.
Peter Hollens does the same thing on many of his vocals with layering his own harmonies... really great. You should check out Sound of Silence with Tim and Peter. By the way, Peter was on The Sing Off as well as Adam Chance who was the bass singer for Street Corner Symphony. Fun info 🤗
I know people are obsessed with ‘who can go lower. ‘. But for me it’s the strength, smoothness and tonal quality throughout his range that sets Geoff apart. And by the way his name is said like Jeff.
That you so much for this lol
Geoff can actually carry a tune.
That's it with me too. He's Tim can go low but he can't be clear and low. The tone and clarity is key for me
People have to understand..."it's not this how low can you go" competition. It's impressive but so are high notes. I responded to.this in alot of channels. My dad was an F1 but he did not put any effort to sing these notes. It's just how your instrument works. Now you can train it into singing 4 octaves. But you can't go to F1 if you are a Baritone.

It's a little known fact that Geoff is actually a gold dragon.
🤣🤣🤣
@@dustinhendricks1177 Nope, hes Elder Purple Dragon from the Deep ...;)
“HARMONIZE WITH YO SELF” every time I watch Geoff’s arrangements with just him I think of this 🤣😭🤣😭
This was one of your best reactions 😂❤
Geoff (Jeff) has a nearly 5 octave range plus his falsetto. Listen to his version of The Headless Horseman. Geoff, Avi Kaplan, and Tim Foust are 3 of the best basses currently singing and all have large ranges.
You can count Elliot Robinson too. He has probably the best falsetto I have ever seen from a bass singer in my opinion. It’s so crisp.
@@robertofiend1264 And Tomi P. The guy can besides extreme low and great falsetto even do whistle note!
@@embran8486 he's not as well known but he's absolutely amazing. I wish there were more reactions of tomi p.
Yes his version of the headless horseman song is brilliant another one he did great was his version of blackbird is has beautiful harmonies with himself
And if rumors are true, we're gonna get a bass trio of Geoff, Avi Kaplan and Tim Foust sometime in the near future. Avi's planning this collab.
Welcome to Geoff does all the Geoff things. High and Low, Low.
For me this is probably the best version of this song. And yes I have heard Peter Hollens his version with Tim Foust. That’s another epic one.
I just figured some of y’all are going to make this a competition, I needed to throw my hat in the ring for GEOFF, lol.
Imma listen to that myself
I'm with you! I really enjoy Peter and Tim's version, but Geoff's made me legitimately tear up the first time I heard it.

Check Geoff doing 16 tons or blackbird
My man called that a "Bear note in the Ocean". Love it!!
I clicked so fast on this. Geoff pronounced Jeff. Pentatonix won the year before Voiceplay and Homefree were on it. I highly recommend going and watching them. Yes Geoff is also singing all parts of the song except instruments.
I love your reactions because you are authentic in every reaction. I love your voice as well.
I love how he did all of this by himself.
Geoff is certainly a master. He stays harmonically appropriate even when he does a growl or subharmonic.
“Pause my spirit went to heaven” im in literal tears from laughing
VoicePlay did an awesome version of “ Carry on my wayward son” and “Tennessee Whiskey “ . They just dropped a new one “ If I were a rich man/girl “. They killed it 👍
Do more Geoff videos please! love the reactions!
Need to see Geoffs video of "16 Tons", very entertaining. Also "Blackbird".
"If 1+1 is 2 and 3+3 is 6..."
Man is trying to calculate how genius this is mathematically lmao, great reaction my guy.
Edit: Also you're hilarious and low key you can sing really well
Geoff is crazy brother! Please more Geoff and voiceplay! Amazing reaction! Made me laugh a lot! “Imma break every-“ *smashes space bar 😂😂
Lmaoo
I just started seeing these reactions, and I love them! Just seeing your face when he goes really low,it is so funny and genuine!
You should check out his Blackbird
Check out his covers of 'Sixteen Tons' and 'Country Roads' I love Geoff
Couldnt wait to see you react to this - if you wanna see Geoffs range check out Voiceplay's Oogie Boogie song - you wont regret it
He did Oogie Boogie Song about a week ago
All of these groups are ridiculous and some of the stories of how they came together need a Aca Version of a 30 for 30 it's insane powerball odds stuff
Did that one lol

If you loved this, you HAVE to see his Sixteen Tons (made famous in the 50's by Tennessee Ernie Ford), and his Blackbird (a Beatles song)!
He is really amazing... His bass is uniqe and one of a kind...
Layne Stein, the beatboxer from Voiceplay, plays the violin.
When you said "First of all" I expected a "DAYUM." to follow, and I totally 100% agree. XD
this is the funniest reaction I've seen on Geoff's video. XD
Amazing 😉
This is the best reaction video I’ve watched yet of anyone’s. You feel the same way about harmonies as me. It’s what I live for!!!

Geoff has a very nice tenor and bass of course and that's why I listen to him the most ❤️
I thoroughly enjoy the heart you put in your reviews!
I LIVE for the harmonies too boo!! ❤️💪 Gotta have my damn harmonies. Oooo weeee do they deliver!!! 😮❤️🥰💪
This is truly greatness! Love that you appreciate it
Best version of this song and best bass singer, change my mind😂
"If 1+1=2 and 3+3=6, then what the hell is this?!"

Love the warmth and tone in this.
G-off :) love it :)
You should really consider doing a reaction to this song from Peter Hollens featuring Tim Faust the bass singer from Home Free. The harmonies are insane and the last note drops the bottom out.
Whenever when he goes low I can't help but to think he has a mini bass in his throat and there's a gnome in there makin the E string roll.
Awesome Reaction, I still have to edit mine and post it
I was mindblown. It's very interesting to see you react with your expertise

The headless horseman by Geoff is amazing. should really listen to it
Great reaction--I like your voice!
This is life!!!
Love your reaction...
I love me some Geoff 🥰
Thanks for the video. I enjoyed it.
that voice is unbelievable. I've only heard those notes played on an upright bass, and that's EXACTLY what his voice sounds like.
The low note at the beginning that Geoff hits is a G1.
I scared my dog when you said Candyman was gonna pop out. 🤣
Subharmonics are godly!
You sing beautifully as well

Blackbird done by him is amazing...same with High and Dry... really lets you see his range
Check out Geoffs range in Voiceplays Rich Man/Girl! It’s incredible and the group does tons of amazing acapella covers
His sixteen tons, and house if rising sun. Check them out unbelievable.
When you pronounced Geoff as "Gee-off", all I could hear was Keegan-Michael Key saying "Ya done screwed up, A-A-ron!"
You know that’s all Geoff
If you like high, low or any tone in between Geoff is the perfect fit. He hits everything.
You can actually watch/hear the Sing-Off episodes or watch off of VoicePlays list. A couple of my favorite solos by Geoff (Jeff) are Blackbird and High And Dry.
