A Cappella singers are often singing with their hands. Since there are no instruments on stage, and all 5 are singing constantly instead of in turns, it can be hard for the audience to under stand which singer is singing which part. The hands often signal notes being hit, a hand raised high up could mean a high note, a hand cupped down low could be a super low note, a hand rapidly moving up or down in segments could mean a fast chain of notes. each singer has his own type of hand movements, and when a singer is dropping a hand down real low during a low note, the audience can see that low note being visualized and understand who did it. It's also a visual thing. A Cappella singers need extreme breath management due to not getting any breaks during singing as they also act as the instruments, so they can't be dancing around the stage constantly being all energetic to keep the audience entertained visually as well as with singing. When everyone is using their hands while singing, it creates a visual movement, a sort of "dance" in itself, that adds an effect of visuals in addition to the performance. And finally, yes it's also an aid for the singers, helping them visualize their parts, but they are full capable of doing it without as well. To many of them it's just second nature, not something they think about. It's like when someone talks while using their hands, it's just a way to express themselves.
Always something I have done since my choir days, too.... even with piano accompaniment. Basses are very good for it, since our parts are more broken, yet, rhythmic in nature... it keeps us grounded in the rhythm during rest and breaks of the bassline.
Interesting view. I learned it more like a psychical thing to help to sing the notes better. Hand high and sing a low tone way more difficult to hand down and low tone. Anyway I like your explanation better
I have actually posted this comment on several videos, because for quite a few reactors, this seems to be their first experience with Voiceplay. So here we go!....... If this is your first experience with Voiceplay, allow me to introduce you to the boys! left to right, we have: Geoff Castellucci (pronounced "Jeff") Human subwoofer bass with an amazing 5 octave range and perfect hair...also does about half their arrangements. J. None (former full member, currently in the navy.) Beautiful R&B Baritone, and collaborates with them whenever he is on leave. Hopefully he returns when he is out of the navy! Eli Jacobsen (Pronounced "Elly" like "jelly) little bald rockstar tenor. Does most of the lighting for their videos. There is nothing this guy can't do! SO. MUCH. TALENT! Cesar De La Rosa: Newest member of the group...voice of an angel baritone/tenor amazingness! And last but not least, Layne Stein...vocal percussion voodoo master with an amazing singing voice we don't get to hear enough of. The other half of the group's arranging "dynamic duo". Just sheer genius! And he plays the violin too! Welcome to the Voiceplay rabbit-hole! I love hearing people discover them for the first time. They always cover really unexpected songs and make them absolutely brilliant! Enjoy!
@@TheAncientMetaler-1963 😂 yes, please do!! Always interesting to hear/watch insiders comment - I've had enough of eye rolling, oho-ing & headshaking as only expression of reactors... 😢
@@TheAncientMetaler-1963 J None is also with them in their latest video, Phil Collins' In the Air Tonight. Done with a VERY 80's vibe. VoicePlay isn't known as the theater kids of a cappella for nothing.
Welcome to Voiceplay... as a fellow ancient metal head , i can recommend Voiceplay's version of Dream on, carry on wayward son, Valhalla Calling.... in fact, no matter what genre they sing, they kill it... I'm subscribing in anticipation. ❤ 🇬🇧
Geoff (that bass) has reached A0 in a growl (last note on the piano), B0 in a subharmonic, F#1 full chest voice, A5 in falsetto and may have exceeded in one of his latest videos. So a full 5 octave range - most of a piano. You might also enjoy Hoist the Colours, Tennessee Whiskey, an apocalyptic trilogy - Warriors, Dream On, and Seven Nation Army.
Great reaction. These guys are extremely talented in everything they do. They have a ton of awesome videos of many different genres. They don't stick to just one or two. They live in Orlando Florida and all have performed at Disney World, Universal Studios or both. They are known as both "The Theater Kids of Acapella" and "Kings of Halloween" because of their love of dressing up and performing. Each video has a theme. Left to right... Geoff (Jeff) Castelucci - bass, arrangements. J None - baritone, guest, former member. Eli (like jelly) Jacobson - tenor, rock tenor, lighting. Cesar De La Rosa - baritone, tenor. Layne Stein (stine) - beatboxer, baritone, arrangements. Their new video will be released on RUclips tomorrow, Friday at noon est.... In The Air Tonight by Phil Collins. Geoff has his channel where he sings solo non acapella. His range is at least 5 octaves. He usually clones himself 3-4 times for harmonies. He released his latest video on RUclips a week ago... I See Fire by Ed Sheeran from Hobbit 2. Its a follow-up to a video he did a year ago from Hobbit 1... Far Over The Misty Mountains Cold. He brought back his 4 dwarves from that video.
Delighted to see you here, reacting to them! Thanks! Geoff (Jeff) Castellucci is the bass, he also arranged this one. Layne is the beatbox, and was the violinist. He's only pulled out the violin 2X, wish he'd do it more. (The other is Imagine Dragons' Warriors). I'm guessing you might also like Dream On and their medley, Queen in 5 minutes.
Geoff's voice reaches places nothing else does. :) You asked - he can go down toa B0 on occasion. But he can also go up to an A5. That's some range. It used to be said that Geoff can't sing without his hands. It's a kind of memory muscle thing, it helps the brain to hit the correct pitch with no instruments to rely on. I think that it just becomes a thing over time. Sometimes when Geoff is being a bass guitar you can see him playing air bass, as it were. Layne is the vocal percussion and is amazing though he does sometimes sing as well, with a soft gentle voice.
I just subbed in hopes of more Voice Play & other a capella reactions! I find them to be amazing! VP's most recent release, "In The Air Tonight" is great! ❤
Fun fact: the bass (Geoff Castelluci) acrually taught Layne how to beatbox and Layne just ran with it! Layne has played the violin in 2 of Voiceplay's videos and has earned himself the nickname of VioLayne in those arrangements. ✌️❤️🎻
Most of the hand thing is something most of the bass singers do when they are going particularly low. It's like a visual warning that they are going to break your brain in a minute... ❤. Was a great question.
As far as singers making hand gestures: While some of them may be choreographed (in this song, pointing at their head or heart in sync with the appropriate lyrics), the majority or vast majority of them are just personal gestures. One thing to remember is that like most music videos, the performers may be singing the song on camera, but the soundtrack you are hearing has all been recorded in a studio and mixed and mastered; any noises they are making during the filming aren't being recorded, so the gestures wouldn't have anything to do with "orchestrating" the other members of the group. Some vocalists are taught to use their hands to help them "point the way" that they want their voices to go; some are taught to use their hands to help them support themselves with their posture and diaphragm position; some just do those kinds of things naturally. If you notice the bass singer when he's hitting a really low note, he tends to have one or both hands facing upwards in sort of a "claw" gesture that even has generated a name - "base (or baritone) claw". But for most singers, it's a very personalized gesture and often they couldn't tell you why or even what they did - it just helps them sing.
I used to see solo singers doing it and thought it looked... uhhhh what's the right word.... pretentious? Self-indulgent? Now I understand why they do it.
Great reaction, Voiceplay is the best. I agree with others that you will probably enjoy their covers of Dream On, Carry On Wayward Son, and maybe Boy Bands in 5 Minutes. When the pandemic hit and they could no longer tour, they doubled down on their studio work. Geoff Castellucci, the bass, started a solo channel a few months in. He recently did a cover of Sound of Silence that I think you will like. Subscribed in anticipation of more Voiceplay and Geoff.
I enjoyed your reaction. They do a great version of Carry on my Wayward Son and Seven Nation Army. You should check them out! Oh, and Geoff can hit B0.
Great reaction, especially when I saw metal in your title I was a little apprehensive. But I should’ve had more faith😊. Others have already commented on who they are and some good recommendations. VoicePlay is definitely my favorite group, but I am just going to add the name of another group that’s very heavy in bass. The Bass Gang is made up of four bass singers who collaborate over the Internet since they have never met in person. Two live in the US but in different areas, one in Egypt and one in the Czech Republic. They often will have guest artists who are frequently bass singers as well. A few of my favorites are Yellow Flicker Beat with guest artist Colm McGuinness and Centuries with Jonathan Young. Subbing in hopes you continue with VoicePlay and Geoff.
@@TheAncientMetaler-1963 It is just that I’m not a metalhead. I like some, and I like some of the performers but as a genre it’s generally a little too much for me. But I really like Jonathan Young’s collaboration with The Bass Gang, and I have checked out quite a bit of his stuff along with Dan Vasc who does one of the most beautiful versions of Amazing Grace I’ve ever heard. It’s just that it’s not automatically my go to. 😊
If you feel yet adventurous, listen to VoicePlay on "Hoist The Colours" and "Carry On My Wayward Son." Also, Geoff Castellucci (the bass guy) on his solo channel, maybe "Far Over The Misty Mountains Cold".
Dream On, Carry On My Wayward Son, Seven Nation Army, Warriors, ....you'll love them. They just dropped a Phil Collins today and it's even better. My favorite song of theirs is "the next one" because they just don't have a ceiling. Good thing you have those headphones--it's a must for these guys. Geoff blew out my cheap ones. As for how low he can go? It's a B0 and there are just one white and one black key left on a piano after that. All five of them have a five octave plus range, including the beatboxer. The hand movements you see are there so you can tell who is singing a particular line or octave. You see it a lot with a cappella.
Some more rock suggestions from Voiceplay: Seven Nation Army, Carry on My Wayward Son, Queen in 5 Minutes, Dream On to mention a few. Geoff Castellucci also has his own channel if you want to listen to bass solos.
We all know that it is a requirement to wear headphones when lessening to VoicePlay or Geoff Castellucci the bass on his channel. He can go much much lower.
Thank you for your reaction to this. I have to be honest, I did not like your comment on their hand movements. If it was a genuine question, ok. But you made it sound more like you were making fun of them or ridiculing them for doing that. Someone already explained in what ways these hand movements are actually really helpful in visualizing their rather intricate and oftentimes quite complicated harmony parts, runs, bends, swells, etc. The sum of it all is actually not that hard to grasp. It's called expressivity. The same way guitar players in a metal band use body language in the form of a power stance, and nobody asks why they are performing gymnastics on stage or why they stand like they're about to fart...unless you want to ridicule their body language or make fun of them just because you don't understand it. When musicians have their "stank face" on, nobody thinks that maybe the guitarist did fart. They're just grooving with the music, enjoying it, and expressing it with body language and facial expressions, to deliver their music in the most convincing way to the audience. Again, it's called expressivity. Same when people just talk and they use certain hand movements to express themselves. Nobody asks what's up with that. Right after the song, you put your 2 hands together from 9:17 all the way through 9:35 as if you were praying. I would never ask why your hands are like that, like are you praying to someone because it sure does sound like you're talking to your viewers and not praying...unless I want to make fun of you. When you talk about the vibration, the tingly feeling right after that, you're constantly rubbing your chest to express what you're trying to say. No one thinks you were trying to massage your boobs lol It was a way for you to express yourself. A singer-performer uses their voice as an instrument to tell a story, to convey emotions, and yes, they also use body language that includes their hands to express themselves. It's just that simple.
To answer your question: the hand gestures are largely subconscious. If you watch Geoff long enough, you can kinda start predicting which direction he’s going to go and which voice he’ll use (Falsetto, head, chest, or subharmonics). It’s not 100 percent, but there are trends. If you want melt-your-face scream along music, may I recommend another VoicePlay cover to you? It’s called Valhalla Calling, from the video game series Assassin’s Creed. Geoff actually gets low in that one. Like, I know you thought this was low, but this was chest voice. Subharmonics is a whole new level of low. Geoff shows off a subharmonics B0 there. I don’t know your level of music theory knowledge, so please excuse me if I explain something you already know. 😊 A piano’s lowest note is A0. Which mean a piano can only go one more note lower than Geoff. The lowest note on a bass guitar (standard tuning) is E1. So Geoff has a full octave and three notes lower than a bass guitar can do. You kept saying how low he was here….every time you did I kinda giggled. You ain’t heard him go low yet. I don’t recall what note he hit in their cover of Seven Nation Army, but you feel it more than hear it. Another harder song they covered - not metal I know - was Aerosmith’s Dream On.
If you love acapella music, then you need to check out Pentatonix and Home Free. Theyu are all the top 3 groups on You Tube and Pentatonix has over 20 mmillion subscribers alone! Your ears will have eargasms with these groups! Especially the bass singers LOL!
you've just met the eighth wonder of the world - Mr Geoff Castelluci...

I'm very familiar with Pentatonix, being in Dallas and all. I saw a few Home Free vids. I'll do some of all them.
How low can he go? As low as it’s possible to. He can now hit the lowest possible note in the range of human hearing after years of training.
So the question is - would you listen to it again ?
Yup.
hallo das ist ein schönes video ich habe das lied auch gecovert darf ich euch das mal schicken?lg manu
