    I hear people complaining that he has far too much talent for one man, and that's just his voice! The acting, the arrnaging, the filming, the editing, and everything else just makes it totally unfair. LOL It's an old pop song from my youth. Men's vocal range goes tenor, baritone, bass. There are some high or counter tenors, and basso profundo who tend to have a very strong bass, which Geoff would never call himself, as he uses subharmics to get the low notes. And at home he is a handyman and bakes too. And he's a super dad. Kathy certainly has her perfect man.

    This was Geoff's Halloween offering for 2021.
    Who knew Geoff had hips?
    The three dancers are representing Dracula, Wolfman, and Igor (Frankenstein's lab assistant). The dance moves during the chorus gradually get more complex throughout the song, and represent 4 of the major Hollywood monster icons: Frankenstein's Monster (reaching hands), Wolfman (clawing hands), Dracula (hiding behind his cape), and the Mummy (wrapped up in bandages).

    Bobby "Boris" Pickett wrote Monster Mash and released it in 1962, in response to the Potato Mash dance craze at the time. This was the second time Geoff and Kathy filmed the video -- the first go-round, the makeup and set/lighting had too much of a horror movie vibe. A friend created the choreography for Geoff, and he filmed it at a different speed to get this effect. He says he can dance when he's not just being goofy but has to really practice. There are numerous clips of him doing the floss, like in a VoicePlay concert when he and Layne face off during the theme song from Rango, as well as in the Boy Bands medley.
    Yes, he got a generous helping of talents. He's handy and has completed some major home improvement projects. Even if you haven't heard him say it, after one look at their kitchen (visible in several of his social media posts) it's obvious he does most of the cooking. It's set up for someone of his height, not Kathy's. And yes, he makes their bread and pizza from scratch.

    The Monster Mash is a novelty song recorded by Bobby Picket. It was never expected to go far. They recorded it several times before the bandmembers convinced Bobby to do it in his Boris Karloff impression. This version was just for fun and was never meant to be released. Which has made it into a perennial classic. It has been used in a number of Halloween shows and movies. Even Boris Karloff liked he. He once kidded in an interview, after his acting career ended, about if he had only known he could have had a second career as a rock singer.

    B - "Monster Mash" dates back to 1962 when Bobby Pickett first recorded this Halloween staple. Here ( ruclips.net/video/vNuVifA7DSU/видео.html ) he performs it for Dick Clark's American Bandstand in October 1964. Bobby was the proverbial one-hit wonder...but his one hit re-emerges from the grave every Halloween! He got the nickname Bobby "Boris" Pickett -- in recognition that his performance mimicked the 1930's horror film icon Boris Karloff.

    The name of the group is Voice Play. Geoff is the bass singer. Voice play was on season 4 of the " Sing-Off", which was an acapella contest that ran for 3-4 seasons. They were in the same year as Home Free which Home Free won. Both groups are good friends and do arrangements for each other and have even done one collaboration together. Tim Foust of Home Free who has a 5-octave range helped Geoff expand his range. If you want to see a bass range, I highly suggest you react to Tim Foust Stay/ Wil You Love Me Tomorrow. It's one tune from his Doo-Whoop pf[album

    He's a Bass, that can sing all the way up to high Baritone/low Tenor. Soprano is not so easily reachable to a Tenor, yet alone a Bass. Also just remember that he has a 5 Octave Vocal Range, anything over 3 Octave is considered as impressive for a male vocalist.

    Men don't typically sing as a soprano...but Castellucci can certainly sing in the range of a tenor. He puts his range on exhibit quite well in Voiceplay's covers of "Oogie Boogie's Song", from the "Nightmare Before Christmas", and "You're A Mean One, Mr. Grinch". The lowest I have ever heard him sing is an E1, and I believe in "Oogie Boogie's Song" he hits a B4. Many online are saying that he has a 4½ octave range...but I'm guessing that if he pushed it perhaps 5 octaves (that's just my opinion though).

  • @johndeeregreen4592
    @johndeeregreen4592 Год назад +5

    Bass singers do tend to have wider than average vocal ranges (I am a bass with a very wide range). We have thick, long vocal cords that make our voices deep, but for articulation, we also must produce higher tones, too. Geoff just takes it to the extreme. Those with the widest vocal ranges tend to be bass, bass-baritones, or low baritones. And, there are many men with over 5 octave vocal ranges, for this reason; there are only a handful of women on earth with over 5 octave vocal ranges, but there are dozens of men with over 6 octave vocal ranges. Reason being, to have an extremely wide range, a person must be able to be naturally low and work their way up.

    It's surprising, but actually basses have a good chance of having an excellent range. Their thicker vocal folds (the things that make them basses) mean they can support a larger range. It's just that most of the time they don't practice the higher notes, so they aren't stretched out enough to make notes easily. Im a bass myself, but for the first ten years of my singing I sang high tenor.

    The dead lady on the couch is his wife Kath. You do need to stop watermarking the videos. VoicePlay and Geoff don't block their videos as they are totally independent. They do and own everything themselves. Bobby Pickett was the original singer who imitated Boris Karloff's singing in '62, but did it live on American Bandstand. October 13, 1964. Watched it every Saturday. Then Boris Karloff did a cover in '65, also Vincent Price did a cover in '77. I have a fun collection of Vincent Price and Boris Karloff movies. I pull them out every October.
