- Hello Singderellos,
In this video, I react for the first time to Voiceplay performing ‘Oogie Boogie's Song'. In this video, I analyse their creative performance, explain and demonstrate their vocal techniques and I'll tell you what I think made it so great. This is my third stop on the A Capella train after Pentatonix and Home Free!

OMG your reaction was so cute and lovely ... please make a clone of yourself and the me tje original babe xD . You totaly cool wtf what i write , maybe i stop
Have you heard their version of Lion sleeps tonight? It’s so fun
Have you checked geoff castellucci's channel apart from voiceplay? He has a lot there.
I recommend their cover of Daddy Sang Bass
Oh he does this bottom note live, he actually demonstrates exactly this final descent in one of his podcasty videos on his personal YT channel here where he discusses subharmonics.
Came to the comments section specifically looking to see if anyone mentioned that he can and does do that whole descent in one take. So glad you said this. This comment need a more likes so we make sure she sees this. It’s utterly insane to be able cover that much range in such a short span of time :D
My thought was “wait until she finds vid of a live performance” 😂 Especially after predicting the number of octaves Geoff could do and then falls out of her chair when he proves her right in one breath.
That walking bass line always gets me....a seemingly throwaway second, but damn its good....6:20 in this video...
ruclips.net/video/_HwUxb-DDw4/видео.html
Here's a video of him doing it live. very impressive.
Actually, People can even produce a Polyphonic subharmonic Bass, no flex intended, but I am able to do it, if you want a prove, just check my Channel. This is not meant as Advertising, and if the Channel owner wants me to delete this Comment, I'll do it, as soon as she tells me so ✌🏻😊
She had no idea how absolutely correct she was when she said " I bet his range is at least 4 octaves!" and that "She wasn't ready for him to do his stuff!" None of us were! This is amazingly normal for Geoff. Also, Scottish Santa had me wheezing with laughter. I wanna petition to switch to that accent. Great review
A full fiver no less! I can’t believe how much I love the way they sing this song, Geoff is amazing in this! I’ve started listening to it through my headphones as you heard something new every time, and I must have listened to it over 20 times now!
Now imagine Sandy Claws with a New Orleans accent.
Or New Delhi.
Santa is actually Eli. LOL
@@judithboulden3456 Nope, it was Geoff's brother-in-law.
Geoff Castelucci's voice is a miracle!
If you want to check out Geoff in all his glory, here's a few suggestion: Sixteen Tons, Headless Horseman, Black Bird, and Country Roads. Just to name a few. There are so many to choose from.
Absolutely!
All of these, but especially sixteen tons.
Don't forget Monster Mash
Headless horseman is just GREAT!!! And if you want something more appealing to your love for sentimental songs, Shanendoah will make the work... Same range, same lows but with sentimental feel to it!
And his newest Ain’t no Sunshine! It’s markedly different from the Bill Withers version but wow!
My new favourite hobby is watching vocal coaches react to Voice Play and Geoff's range
He name is Geoff Castellucci. He has about a 5 octave range. You need to investigate his solo (that is a quartet or quintet all by himself, layering all the lead and the harmonies) work! He has awesome talent! You will be amazed!
Geoff is absolutely the most gorgeous man ever created. Toss in the voice of a dragon slayer and well... just sayin...
Actually, he, himself, identifies as four octave range.
@@StarNanny Geoff doesn't give himself enough credit and his own worst critic. I'd rather him be that way than the exact opposite thinking he is the best singer in the world. He's my 3rd favorite.
@@TennesseeTwinsReact and his wife is gorgeous!
@@drieuxkoeppel8152 yeah. Kathy is beautiful and awesome. It's their 15th anniversary today.
I love that you predicted he has a wide range and you were still shocked by it.
Also really liking the detailed breakdowns you do.
Yeah, but. Y'know it's different to be able to hit those notes, just in general and then it's a whole other thing to go from your high notes to your super low *that* fast.
Geoff Castellucci doing all the Geoff things. The last note Geoff hit in the song is an E1. You need to go to his channel and hear his low bass covers. Where he clones himself and sings all the parts. Fun fact. Sandy Claws is Geoff's brother-in-law. Also, check out their Disney medleys. Welcome to the VoicePlay/Geoff Castellucci rabbit hole.
Whenever I need a boost, I watch this vid. Your zany appreciation of this is so satisfying! Freakin' Love You! Continue on!
What's crazy is that he can pull this off live too. All of them can. They're crazy talented! They've been getting better and better lately, too. They regularly blow my mind!
This woman gives excellent delivery to a scene and keeps me engaged. I dig it.
Voice play is one of my favorite’s. Would highly recommend Hoist the colors,We don’t talk about Bruno, Dream on, and their latest, Enemy. If you like musical theater they also cover a few like Wicked and The greatest showman. I have never heard anything by voice play that wasn’t worth a listen.
Oihh yes, Hoist the colours for sure. Xx
“My mother told me” would also be excellent if she wants to hear a human fog horn.
@@markschmitz7611 🤣🤣
Don't forget the Halo cover if you want Geoff to go really low lol
Literally NO ONE ELSE has ever picked up on the vocal backing to the "I'm going to do my stuff" line. I love your reactions in an almost (but not quite) disturbing way.
I know this comment is a year old. But I’ve watched just abt every reaction to this video and I just found this one. That’s one of my fav parts and nobody seemed to notice it. So happy I found one that did
I have heard Voiceplay do this song live and Geoff, the bass, hits that E1 subharmonic with the same authority. His chest voice extends down to F#1, his subharmonic register to B0, and his upper range to A5.
F1 now. Training is awesome
@@stacey1schulte, even Geoff doesn't claim the F1, though. It's been fleeting and not consistent. In reality, Geoff only claims an A1-A5 range, since that is his guaranteed, 100% of the time range.
A0 actually
@@gugmiowas1584, after "Enemy," yes, 100%. On my analyzer, he actually drops all the way to an F#0, but you cannot hear it.
WOW! You nailed Geoff's range before even hearing him! Very impressive - great reaction!
Can't wait for you to get into reacting to more VoicePlay and to Geoff's solo work!
Their cover of The Dragonborn Comes has some especially exciting and creative arrangement. (Geoff does most of their arrangements.)
And for Geoff's solo work, it's not his most technically impressive but Blackbird is just beautiful.
Indeed Black bird would be a good recommendation if she's interested in Geoff solos :)
Blackbird and Far Over the Misty Mountains Cold (Low Bass Cover) are 2 of my favorites.
Actually he and Layne split about 95% of the arrangements evenly, although Eli has done one on his own and co-arranged at least two with Layne including the recent cover of eEnemy.
Sweetie Pie, you had me in stitches. Your grins and grimaces and squeals and little screams and gasps and your whole delighted beaming face just made me smile from ear to ear. And, of course, there's your spot-on analysis. But your animation ... oh my. Glad I'm subscribed. Oh, yes!
You're such an AMAZING communicator. I really love you videos. You're concise, you get to the point, and you even demonstrate your points showing that you don't just know theory, but also practise. And all comes in a very understandable package. You fantastic and I hope to see you on the top of the vocal coach reaction-tube at some point.
I find myself returning here every once in a while just to watch your reaction to his final lowerestest note. It's priceless.
Every day I search for new reactions to Voiceplay, and it's especially fun to find someone who has never seen them or heard them before. Your reaction was terrific! I enjoy your enthusiastic giggles as well as your detailed analysis.
Although this piece is a favorite, it is not the best way to get the full effect. Obviously, it was arranged to showcase Geoff Castellucci, the bass, because of the nature of the song. Voiceplay usually gives all of their members a chance to "solo" in each production.
Geoff and the beatboxer, Layne Steine do almost all of the arrangements. They produce one each month, taking turns. Whichever of them does the arrangement also does the production, set, direction, plans the costume and makeup. They have outside camera and makeup artists when necessary, depending on the complexity of the production.
Two of the men here are no longer with Voiceplay. The bearded tenor left for personal reasons in 2020, and the black baritone left last year to join and sing with the US Navy. They currently have 4 permanent members. Eli (pronounced ellie) Jacobson, the bald tenor and Cesar de la Rosa, baritone/tenor joined last year. They use featured artists to fill out the production.
Next watch Hoist the Colours, from Pirates of the Caribbean 3, it has been blowing the minds of reactors for months. Trust me.
Thank you! Now I don’t have to type all that same stuff because you did such a great job of it. 👍🏻
It’s funny how every time I look for reactions I think I’m going to be the first and I see you and Christine beat me to it on a regular basis. 😁
@@janetdw Didn't mean to usurp your position, maybe next time you'll beat me! 🙃
You won a subscriber. One of the most charismatic reaction artists I’ve seen!
This was BRILLIANT!!!! Loved your reaction!!! Please, do more VoicePlay!!??? 😁🙏 These guys are killing it at vocal perfection!
"What the **FAIRY** was that??" never gets old, LoL; it makes me crack up every time I watch your reaction, which I do quite often as it's a hoot.
I have a niece about to start a degree in music, so I sent her this and she loved it. Her mother is a graduate of a prestigious Conservatorium as a pianist, and has worked with many classical singers; she also laughed a lot while appreciating your technical knowledge and explanation.
Great stuff.
Goeff's solo stuff is incredible too. Check out Blackbird, Country Road & 16 Tons in that order.
Geoff is freaking amazing! You should do more reactions to him
Btw loved your personality, you’re really sweet 🥺
You are just a treasure! Beautiful, funny, expressive beyond the normal, smart and vocally just bloody wonderful... oh Fairy Voice Mother, I love you 😀
Isn't it obvious? North pole is an old english colony!
Awesome analysis of this video. I learned some new things today - Thank you!
I had a sneaking suspicion your a capella train would make this particular stop, Lolli! Thank you for such a delightful (and delighted) reaction to a fun, dynamic vocal group.
First reaction I've seen you do and have to say I am not disappointed. I'll definitely be looking at more.
And yes. VOICEPLAY have a lot of fun songs. They are also very creative. They are kind of like the theater kids of the A Cappella world.
I love Voiceplay's mix and post recording editing because it really enhances their performance in great ways. In addition to that though, I have seen live recordings of them performing similarly EPIC things live so while they do have post production editing they also are all amazingly skilled at what they do. Thanks for your reaction and analysis of what the singers are doing. I love Voiceplay and other acapella groups so please stay on this train of yours
That was Fairy F*ckin' Magic! Both the performance and the reaction!
Voiceplay is known as the "Theater Kids" for a reason :-) They go full blast everything they do. Geoff has his own channel where he performs but also discussed how he sings as low as he does. The group are master arrangers and there are so many little details in their songs that it takes quite a few times to see it all. Love them. Watch their last 2 or 3 songs and you be amazed at how far they have grown in a short time. Great review.
Im bass singer i really have fun and enjoy the video, thank you so much ! And yes ! Sometimes i do vocal fry or subharmonics for extended vocal range and scare my friends and student's in the Music school ! haha is funny how people see me when i go very low singing.
I can’t tell you the level of joy you give me when you respond to music. You truly must enjoy life. Thank you for making me belly laugh!!🤣🤣🤣🤣
In that last section (right after the long 'nowhere') Geoff went from a B4 all the way down to an E1. That's a frickin' 3½ octaves. Holy moly what a range.
First off, thanks for polishing my glasses at the beginning. Secondly, your expression in the thumbnail is my favorite; Geoff's talent is scary. If interested in more from both Voice Play and/or Geoff, I would recommend their "Little Mermaid Medley" and his cover of "Sixteen Tons". Thanks again for the information and entertainment. Still the best on YT. Love you Lolli.
I thoroughly enjoy your combination of highly technical information and completely unrestrained enthusiasm.
Going the extra mile is absolutely what Voiceplay is all about. Definitely check out more of their stuff. Everything they have done in the last year is on a whole new level of amazing.
Well, dear FVM, I just watched your reaction to this cover of VoicePlay for about the 20th time. The enjoyment that I get seems to be cumulative, so I guess I'd better ration myself lest I explode. Back to the main point, watching TFVM's reaction to this has become more important to me than what she's reacting to. Some sort of metaphoric inversion, I guess. Thank you more than you'll ever know.
Your reaction was one of the most honest, non-self-conscious reactions I’ve seen. I think I’ve watched just about every reaction video to this, and I actually learned a few new things from you. You are only the second reactor who caught that little descending harmonic riff, and the other reactor had listened to it several times before but was choosing not to react but to analyze. So he was not watching (and being distracted by) the video and that’s how he caught it. So very well done. You have a slightly different approach than some of the others and it made a lot more sense to me as a person without musical training. So thank you for that!
Your absolute delight was a delight to all of us who love VoicePlay. They are incredible and this is an old video. They’ve gotten better.
You might want to check Geoff’s personal channel. He has a few tutorials on how to sing in subharmonics and how to sing very low. He considers himself a baritone, and actually wanted to be a tenor and tried his best while he was younger. His voice has deepened with age (as he constantly laments). So now it’s more of a baritone bass speaking voice. Plus he uses that voice all the time. His wife remarks that she always knows exactly where he is because he is constantly singing.
I wish he would do some readings that weren’t quite so spooky. But he does some readings of Edgar Allan Poe and the Jabberwocky and has an incredible voice. He could read the phonebook and I would listen to it.
You might also want to check out David Larson. That is who Geoff credits with teaching him subharmonics. Recently I went to his (David’s )channel and found about a 30 minute course on subharmonics. No musical training here but most of it made sense to me and I found it fascinating.
I had to look for it but I found a copy of them doing Oogie boogie live a few years ago. The quality is not great because it was taken from my cell phone but here it is.
ruclips.net/video/_HwUxb-DDw4/видео.html&feature=share
Fun fact. The man playing Santa Claus is Jeff’s brother-in-law, but it was voiced by Eli (pronounced Ellie) who was the man in red with the Rasal Nesonance. 😉
In their Little Mermaid medley (which is one of my favorites) Geoff is cast as Ursula the sea witch (The beat boxer arranged that one and got to choose who did ehich parts, LOL). I don’t have musical training but it has been reported that he went from a D4 to a D1 in one word. You might want to check it out.
As others will, I’m subscribing in hopes that you’ll cover more VoicePlay and also Geoff’s personal channel. I do enjoy the other groups but these guys look like they have so much fun. They are short one member and have been using featured artists a great deal in the last two years. They’ve also done that in the past when they were in transition. So you will see some people that they don’t usually sing with and they’re always listed at the featured artist. If you watch the cover of “Just Sing@, be sure to put the captions on. That will tell you the names of the the many collaborators that they were able to contact for this production.
Ok, I've found a new favourite human. This entire reaction made me so happy
What an amazing and informative reaction :) I loved it to bits and yes, my personal reaction was much the same as yours at the end. It is crazy. Geoff is just insane. I would highly recommend one of his older covers - Geoff Castelluci - Blackbird. To this day it gives me chills and I still find it incredibly beautiful. I think you will enjoy it as well!
I really love watching someone encounter Voiceplay and Geoff for the first time. Subscribed.
Your faces spoke more than your words.
You're such fun to watch. And so informative. And so talented! You're the absolute bloody best!
You are such a pure Soul. watching you is Quality...
Please keep the Voiceplay reactions coming! I DEFINITELLY LOVE your analysis and enjoy your reactions, so organic and honest 💖. Every one of the Voiceplay covers will give you sometjing to comment on or analyse profusely!
I've watched who knows how many reactions to this song yours is by far my favorite
I love your reactions!
I'm a HUGE VoicePlay fan. A lot of their videos are full musical theater (including costumes ad sets) with amazing arrangements. Some of the ones that stand out are: Wicked Medley, We Don't Talk About Bruno, If I Were a Rich Man/Girl (from Fiddler on the Roof), My Mother Told me, The Little Mermaid - MEDLEY, MOANA MEDLEY
VoicePlay is known as the Theater Kids of Acapella. Check out "Friends on the Other Side", "My Mother Told Me", "Hoist the Colors" and so many more.
I was excited to see this reaction! Voice Play is amazing. Geoff is a beast with a crazy range. He and Tim Foust are very similar. They can both go super low but can also sing in a tenor range without strain or having to leverage their head voice. Your analysis, as usual, was just so outstanding. You are so knowledgeable and I learn something new every time I watch you. And you crack me up. :-) Which is great! Your demonstration/explanation of twang vs. nasal resonance was very cool and informative. As far as Voice Play, I would recommend their QUEEN A Cappella Medley or their Tennessee Whiskey. The video someone mentioned where Geoff talks about how he does the subharmonics is very interesting as well and it sounds like right up your alley. I wish you all the success and happiness with your channel and otherwise, as you so richly deserve, fellow nerd. We approach our channels/reactions in a similar way. I talk about how music can light the world and lift us and bring us together. My patrons often call me Dad as well. Although, you are in a league of your own and way more knowledgeable than I am. God bless you, Lolli.
I'd throw Avi Kaplan, formerly of Pentatonix, in that beasty-crazy-range group too! Yummy, yummy flexible voices, all! 😍
And speaking of Tim Foust and upbeat happiness, I love his mash-up of Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow/Stay--wow, talk about flexing his range!
I visited first for the pentatonix reaction, which I have watched multiple times because I am amazed at your audio discernment, I watched this and was pleased to see even more of it. So many are simple "ooh, that was nice" whilst yours reference anatomy and vocal techniques. Please keep doing these reactions, I would like to see your response to the Pentaonix "Daft Punk" medley - it is amazing what they did recording in their home for less than $400 USD. They received a Grammy for it! Any way - thanks for your reactions!
Well , once again you have outdone yourself. Excellent breakdown of the style and techniques, spot on. However your reaction was an absolute delight to watch. All of Geoff's work should be on your next reaction schedule. You won't be disappointed. Cheers.
So glad Geoff was able to shake your world as he has done many of us! His cover of "Ain't No Sunshine" is really good as well... well, all of his covers are! Please do more! Lol.
Geoff has several RUclips videos out explaining and demonstrating his use of subharmonics. Recommend you check them out.
This is only the second video of yours I’ve watched (well … I haven’t actually finished this one yet) but you just got yourself a new subscriber. The reason: I’ve seen a lot of people reacting to this video and you’re the first one to comment on that descending harmonic minor riff in the background (sounds like it’s Eli but could be J) when Geoff says he’s “going to do my stuff”.
Well done
I swear every video I learn more and more terms explained in a way that actually clicks (and forgive the pun, but resonates) with me. Voiceplay's cover of We Don't Talk About Bruno is a favorite of mine and I'd love your analysis!
You had me at “twang nob”….inadvertently hilarious. Love your videos please keep making these . You have many fans in the U.S. Here’s to a quick 100K subscribers.
I was soooooo freaking eager to watch this one!!! I have heard that song a thousand times (and the ending, twice as many times), but I really needed to "share" it with you! So glad you listened to IT... Geoff is a great singer and his solo stuff will also blow your mind if you give it a try. My fellow fairy voice brothers have pointed many good songs (and arrangements) from him so I just will limit my contribution to: anything you hear from him will be EXTRAORDINARY!!!
Thank you a lot... And I mean, A LOT!!!
That reaction to the end actually made me so happy. I love seeing people finding voiceplay for the first time. Geoff has a way of drawing people in. What I need to point out is Geoff does that ending decent live with no issues! Looking forward to you watching some of the newer stuff (their growth over that last year alone has been insane)
Geoff has said that they have a sound guy who knows the group and knows just what to do and when. without him, Geoff said they would have had a hard time getting it right live on stage. He made it clear that it's not just about the singing abilities of the group, but also the support of their sound crew etc.
My face when I saw you were reacting to this. We're in for a great video!
They performed this live, and he did it their as well. Anyway Voiceplay are amazing and anything they do blows me away. They are awesome!!!
Girl you've just opened up the FLOODGATES for amazing a cappella music. There's so much to see and react to! I personally think you're in my top 3 reaction channels and you JUST started!
I have been waiting so long for you to discover Geoff Castellucci. I love all the other groups as well but Geoff is a must to delve into. The headless horseman, 16 tons, the monster mash, big john, ain't no sunshine, the bare necessities...and do not discount the ones with Voiceplay as well. This is probably my favorite reaction of yours, keep up the good work!
Seeen loads of these reactions, I'm not a singer but your explanation was the best
Loved the reaction. If you’re like the rest of us you will fall into the VoicePlay wormhole. Through the comments I never saw mention of who is who here. Many mentioned Geoff (Jeff) Castelucci singing lead/bass here. The bald guy is Eli (pronounced Ellie). Vocal percussion is Layne. The other two, Earl (bearded guy) and J. None are no longer with Voiceplay. J. None has done some guest appearances since leaving.
as much as i love most of the vocal pros that react to these types of videos, you are my absolute favorite!! i never get frustrated with your pausing bc i know youre about to say something smart and funny you are cute as a button
Always love your very detailed, informative and natural enthusiastic emotive reaction. Out of the many vocal coaches/teachers that I have seen react to this particular video, you are the first to notice and talk about Eli's harmonic minor riff descending down. Great catch as everyone tends to get caught up in Geoff and completely miss it.
10:26 OK, you just won the internet! I watch this portion every day to get my day started. Your reaction is priceless!! I would very much like to see the portions you cut out during editing. I am sure they are just as perfect.
What a great analysis! I love the way you break down both the song and the voices- and lemme tell you, you will love VoicePlay for that sort of thing. Many of the members have backgrounds working for Disney as performers (the group is based in Orlando, Florida), and as a result character voices are easily within their comfort zones (as you heard in this song, but this trait shows up again in their other Nightmare Before Christmas videos and in quite a few of their Disney medleys. But they can sing more traditionally as well, in a variety of genres, and nail them all. As a group, they have complete creative control over their projects, with Layne Stein (vocal percussion) and Geoff Castellucci (bass, and whatever else he wants to be) taking turns creating the vocal arrangements. The arranger is also responsible for filming and editing the video, and Eli Jacobson (first name rhymes with 'jelly', he's the bald tenor) does the lighting work. As you go along, don't be surprised when you start seeing faces you don't recognize; VoicePlay's lineup has seen some changes since 2020, when high tenor Earl Elkins Jr. (very nasal high tenor in this vid) left for personal reasons. J. None, the black baritone in this video also left the group in 2021 to join the Navy, and has been replaced by Cesar De La Rosa. Earl's spot hasn't been permanently filled, and VoicePlay has a steady stream of featured guest vocalists to round out their number.
Oh, and Geoff's range? It's a good 5 octaves, with his lowest recorded note being an astounding B0 in VoicePlay's cover of the Halo Theme. Like everyone else, I'll also encourage you to see what he can do on his solo channel. He's a one-man quartet, and it's absolutely incredible to experience.
Sister you have some of the best edits in the world! Sincerely!
I would LOVE to see you dive more into both Voiceplay and Geoff's solo stuff. All of it is amazing!
The trifecta of a capella! Home Free the country group, PTX the pop group and Voice Play are the theater kids!
Fantastic reaction! You could feel your joy in hearing what you couldn't quite believe you were hearing. Lots of good recommendations already of course but I wanted to specifically suggest Sixteen Tons by Geoff from his solo work. No subharmonics but from the notes he hits many people think there must be.
One of the best reactions I've seen so far on Geoff videos 😂
I very much enjoyed this. You should for sure keep digging into voiceplay. They have so many fun songs.
You are my favorite reactor ever!!!
Check out their cover of "We don't talk about Bruno" and Geoff's cover of "Ain't No Sunshine" among so many others! Your reaction was hilarious!! Glad you enjoyed it so much!!
You might be the funniest music reactor ive watched in a while! 😂 Deserved my subscription! 😂😂💓
NOW THIS IS WHAT I CALL A REACTION!!! I smiled through the whole video
Welcome to the acapella family
abbit hole
very excited to watch your journey through it :)
This is my favorite Voiceplay video. Thank you for your analysis
So excited to see you checking VoicePlay. I only caught the end of the premier, so will go back and listen again from the beginning. Oogie Boogie was arranged by the beatbox, Layne Stein. Geoff has one of the most astonishing drops I've ever heard in his cover of Bill Withers "Ain't No Sunshine" (Geoff Castellucci, his personal channel). I would so love to see you respond to it. It's at 1:30, but you'll know when it hits! In VP's latest, Enemies, Geoff covers from an A0 to D5! And the whole performance is wonderful. But if it's pure fun you want, check their take on We Don't Talk About Bruno. Guarantee it will make you laugh - it's another of Layne's and he'll squeeze out laughs anywhere. (Normally there isn't a lead, each is amazingly talented, and they try to give roughly equal time to each.) They're based in Orlando, all have worked for Disney or Universal. Geoff hasn't had any formal vocal training, just worked hard since he was a kid trying to 'make it sound good,' routinely doing 70-75 recordings before heading to an audition. Yep, I'm totally geeked out on them, just as I am on Dimash and Dirty Loops. Talent plus hard work rules.
Dang, he beat his record on Halo? I did not know this!
@@CynicalTesuji I thought that really deep one was laying with his inhaled phonation. But it doesn’t surprise me at all either way.
Update: please note that auto correct once again caught me in its web. In the above paragraph the name Layne was “corrected” to the word laying, resulting in Cynical Tesugi’s comment.
@@janetdw I thought all the inhaled phonation was Layne's work; Geoff has said he sounds terrible trying to pull that off. And when you count in those notes, Layne's range is even broader than Geoff's. Not that it matters terribly who did what; they all sound incredible together, and that's what's important.
@@CynicalTesuji I just reread my comment and was confused by my own words. Then I realized that auto correct substituted the name Layne with the verb laying. I had meant to say Layne did the inhaled phonation. But thanks for catching it. I corrected my comment but added a note saying the original had an auto correction that wasn’t correct so that people wouldn’t be confused by your comment.
@@janetdw Ah, gotcha!! Autocorrect can be so bothersome! But that clears everything up, thanks!
Every time I watch this video I just love your reaction
Congrats! You are the first reactor I've seen to recognize and predict so early Geoff's vocal range (even though he still surprised you). Subscribing, hoping for more Voice Play! They are unique in the acapella world, often using makeup, costumes and sets (but not always). They also do their own arrangements, lighting and other production elements.
Geoff Castellucci is a vocal wonder, one of a kind that there will NEVER be another of. The talent he displays with that magical voice of his. . .the words haven't even been invented yet to describe it.
Have you heard of Bobby bass?
@@gugmiowas1584 Who?
Welcome to the world of Voiceplay and Geoff Castellucci's insane 5 octave range. He does a lot of solo stuff too.... Misty Mountains would be a good one to start with, or 16 tonnes. Would love to see your reaction to Voiceplays 'Hoist the Colours' or 'My Mother told me' too....
Great reaction, genius combination of tech info and pure natural entertainment value.
Still hanging out for a Freddie Mercury/Queen reaction
Oh I love your reactions to voiceplay! I love those guys so much an seeing your true, uncontained excitement for their songs makes me appreciate them in a totally new way. If you want to react to more I'd definetely recommend Hoist the colors, their "X in 5 minutes" are both great and I also love their Panic at the disco part one and two, they are a "Trilogy"(video wise) with their Billy Eilish medley (Billy first, then panic) but every single one of their songs is wonderful in its own way
Thank you for adding Voiceplay. Next I suggest Voctave doing princess medely. Love ya!
I look specifically for reactions to this song as it was an instant favorite when I heard it. I've seen a lot of holy crap moments..... Yours is the absolute best so far. I love that you're so animated. Good friggin job. Your editing is top notch as well
I love the range of emotions you went through in the last part Geoff is singing. XD very excited - impressed - just shocked (reconsidering all the choices you made in life)
That was a great reaction! Voiceplay is so under rated... I love when a larger platform finds them and is as amazed as I am!. This song was a while ago...they just keep getting better with every video! As some have probably already mentioned... Geoff Castelluci the base/lead singer in this one has his own channel where he talks about subharmonics and there are videos of them doing this song live... so even with the studio magic on the last note... even live it is amazing! Anything you pick from VoicePlay or Geoff's solo channel will give you new things to be amazed by each time!
I watched a couple of reactions but this one is by far the best. you actually made me genuinely laugh a couple of times, great analysis as well as the editing!
I loved that you mentioned the syncopation. Geoff gets all the attention, but doing syncopation with 3 people like these guys do at this level is so difficult it HAS to be noted. There are so many little details, please listen to this a few times to pick them out.
usually it takes a lot more than 1 video to convince me to subscribe to someone. this is the first video i have seen of yours and it has sufficiently convinced me that i want to watch more.
I'm glad you've found Voiceplay, they're one of my favorites. I am not a singer, nor particularly technical in my understanding of singing, but of the people who do know what they're talking about, there seems to be a lot of agreement that all the members of this group are remarkably capable technical singers. Also, Geoff, the bass, and the lead in this vid, does some "solo" work where he multi-tracks himself and does some very remarkable stuff.
Voiceplay is also noted for their theatricality. This type of production is the norm, not the exception. They have some excellent other stuff: for musicals/broadway - The Wicked Medley is remarkable, as is their Greatest Showman Medley. For some more stripped down harmony type stuff, their rendition of "I can't help falling in love" is great.
For Geoff's solo work, his 16 Tons cover is probably the best known, but the best display of his amazing range is probably his cover of Blackbird, or possibly High and Dry.
I'm subscribing, as I love your technical explanations, but also your deep and heartfelt reactions to the content I've seen you review.
I've been waiting for this for so long... Since about the time of the first reaction to Jinjer. Now I'm ready to subscribe.
"Hoist the colors" and "we dont talk about Bruno" are a must!
This is my first time seeing you and I'd looooove to see you review more Voiceplay and Geoff content. :D
Welcome to a world where you now know the magic that is voiceplay. Enjoy.
Ok. Just discovered you. Loved how descriptive you are. Keep falling down the Voiceplay rabbit hole. New subscriber here! Please listen to their “My Mother Told Me” next. 🙂
