For Episode 174, we're back at it (once again) with VoicePlay. What can we say? These groups just keep us coming back!

We're checking out the lows and highs, and breaking down their rendition of "My Mother Told Me." Let's see what they've got!

Guy on the right is Layne...the beatbox. Theater kids... love that. Wait til you see the Little Mermaid Medley. Ursala is inspired.😆
Also, when Christmas rolls around, check out "You're a Mean One, Mr. Grinch." Their theater scale goes up to twelve and half on that one.
"Acting their parts:" If Pentatonix are the high school student council, Voiceplay are the theater dorks and Home Free are the guys in the parking lot throwing a tailgate.
FYI - Layne and Geoff are childhood friends and often pull stunts with each other. Watch VoicePlay's Little Mermaid Medley (You'll have a seizure over Geoff's run - D5 to D2 and drop to subharmonic D1 in seconds). Layne painted Geoff blue as Ursula and the two (they are both tall) are seated (as usual) and Layne is trying to crack Geoff up. Layne sings the short song of the crazy cook in the movie, and it's hysterical. Eli doubles as Flounder and the seagull (another humor moment). J None (now in the US Navy), did Oscar-winning Under the Sea part of the medley with a slight reggae twist.
Geoffs cover of The Headless Horseman he goes down to the dungeon.
Like somebody posted under the original video:
Layne: "Hey Geoff, I have an idea for the bass line. How long could you hold a subharmonic F1?"
Geoff: "Yes."
They are all very creative and wild. You really don't know what to expect next!
And those harmonies, it's so awesome!
Names! Names! as shown @ 5:45 from left to right: Geoff, Eli, Jose Rosario (x1 collab), J None (just left to join Navy Band) and Layne Stein (not Zero, lol).
VP just hired Cesar de la Rosa to cover J None's spot. Wanna know about him? Watch "If I Were a Rich Man / Girl" or "Butter" or "We're Good".
See you next VP or HF time!
Now do all the songs Geoff has done by himself. You won’t be disappointed
Am 68 yrs old, and finally decided I want to be a Viking when I grow up! VP is phenomenal.
You guys have to check out Geoff's cover of Misty Mountains Cold from the hobbit. That dude hits those low notes in such a smooth voice, it hits you right in the chest.
If you want a good start, start with Geoff Castellucci- Far over the Misty mountains cold. Insane
When you said Hungarian throat singing I fell out of my chair laughing. Mongolian throat singing is amazing when done by trained singers like Geoff. Though I don't believe he was throat singing as much as strong chest voice rumbling. Keep it up guys your fun to watch.
I’m an idiot 😂
@@307Reacts no idiot r u !!.....dude, i didn't even notice u said that.....i heard the right thing though, so i had to go back and check, and yep, i giggled a little, too......sorry !!....LOL
😂🤣😂🤣😂
It was a subharmonic 👌🏽
Mongolian throat (overtone) singing. Now you have to check out The Hu band! It's crazy powerful stuff.
Geoff sounds like he's locked up in a barrel, in a bathroom, in a vault!!! Like he's got his own personal Acoustics.....built in!!!!
The Gjallarhorn (Old Norse “Resounding Horn”) is one of the most prized treasures of the gods. Heimdall, the gods’ ever-vigilant sentry, keeps watch over their celestial stronghold Asgard day and night with the Gjallarhorn in his hand. During Ragnarok, the final battle in which the cosmos will be destroyed, the giants will march upon Asgard.
Geoff is a human Gjallarhorn.
Geoff - Far Over the Misty Mountains Cold, Sixteen Tons
VP - Butter, If I Were a Rich Man/Girl, We're Good
Human Gjallarhorn...... yeah that sounds about right haha
ruclips.net/video/5xTEzxXnh4Q/видео.html
Like this horn, but much larger and deeper.
Their cover of we’re good is amazing
mind blowingly
@@risperdude Exactly
This is just one small example of why voiceplay is my favorite a capella group currently performing. They don't have a bad song.
somebody already has said -- Go watch Geoff in his cover of "Headless Horseman" you will NOT be disappointed!
"Zero" does most of their arranging of the music. His name is Layne Stein. Eli Ellie) did the backgrounds also. The whole group has so many talents outside of singing.
I thought Geoff did most of them
Yes, I think Layne and Geoff do about the same amount of arrangements (almost all of them, like 99%?).
Geoff and Layne trade off with Eli jumping in now. Another viewer observed that when Layne arranges, Geoff is more of a feature. When Geoff arranges, it is really evenly distributed. Not sure how accurate, so I will be paying more attention.
There is a group of Mongolian folk singers called The Hu that do heavy metal throat singing. They are flippin awesome!
Yes! They are awesome!
My favorite is the Wolf Totem. They do a good version of it with Papa Roach too.
@@mjackson780 I LOVE that song! Both versions!
React to Geoff's cover of Sixteen Tons. Its one of my favorites of his solo stuff.
Also I know you guys like the videos where they act it out. But one of my favorites of theirs is completely stripped back. It is J None's last video before leaving for the Navy. Their cover of Man in the Mirror.
You have to check out Geoff's deep bass cover of "Far Over the Misty Mountain's Cold" and "Sixteen Tons" you will love ut
Several of the group did character acting at Universal Studios. That is where they get the desire to get into character.
We call it 'Dragon Breath" The best thing about this video is that they keep you on the edge of your seat while singing the same words for each verse, but presenting every possible harmonic, tempo, and technique variation for each repeat of the verse. 10 backward hats indeed!! Great reaction. Every thing they do is the complete package. They, along with Home Free and Pentatonix take a cappella to the mountain top with their various unique styles.
The big guy is Jose Rosario (the guest singer) who was on broadway in Hamilton. The black guy is J-none, and Zero is Layne, who is the fantastic beatboxer and the arranger of most of Voiceplay's stuff. J-none is a baritone with a 4+ octave range. Eli is the tenor and also can sing baritone....Hell they can all sing anything except maybe Geoff's sub-harmonic crap.
Zero = Layne Stein 🤣
Two Quick examples to explain Geoff's low notes:
The "Carry On Wayward Son" low note is just a very deep chest Note by him (G1)
The "Oogie Boogie" end Note or the one in this Video, which you described as "Hungarian Throat Singing", is actually a Bass Singing technique called "Subharmonics". It's hard to do and needs months or years of practice. He explains how to do this on his channel (like you already said)
P.S. You should watch their "Little Mermaid Medley" and their newest Video "If I were a rich man/girl" 😉
Love the reaction! One of their best for sure. Don't overlook some of their Disney Medleys as well as Geoffs solo work, some great stuff. Lastly, Home Free's renditions of When a Man Loves A Woman and How Great Thou Art are phenomenal as well!
Absolutely loved your reaction. This is one of my favorite Voiceplay songs. Another favorite is ‘Just Sing’. Was done during the lockdown and it is really well done.
Tim Foust is a Guest in Just Sing Also they are all good friends
Geoff's solo stuff is insane. Misty mountains cold, 16 tons, Headless horseman, Black bird. Y'all liked The Panic at the disco stuff you should check out Queen in 5 and the one they did with boy bands.
Def more Voiceplay!! Please react to the Road Trip video! It's one of my favorites! Also good are If I Were A Rich Man, Moana medley, The Little Mermaid medley, Boy Bands in 5 minutes, and Queen in 5 minutes. Loving all the reactions!
I've seen other comments to the effect: Layne asked Geoff how long he could hold an F1. Geoff replies, 'Yes.'
I absolutely love this song and their version. Also have been loving how much you guys lose your minds. Thank you for doing your thing and keep it up
Also you should check out warriors by voiceplay one of my favorites
I second all of this.
I don’t know. Think they could handle it?
Ugh, evidently my comment got deleted, so lemme second the second. Warriors is a must
Layne (beatboxer and arranger): Geoff, how long can you hold an E1?
Geoff: Yes.
With your new headphones, I recommend listening to Geoff's version of "Far Over The Misty Mountains Cold".
The best description of this song: bard meets dragon mating call. A must for any LotR fan.
Woke up the Balrog!🐲
Great reaction guys! Based on what I've seen you do already for VoicePlay I recommend Queen in 5 Minutes, Warriors, Little Mermaid Medley, and You're a Mean One Mr. Grinch. They're all very theatrical with costumes and background sets. Also, Daddy Sang Bass is very good but done without costumes and has a sweet ending you guys will like. On Geoff's channel I recommend Sixteen Tons, Take Me Home Country Roads, Blackbird, Headless Horseman, Far Over Misty Mountains Cold. Enjoy!
Personally, I would recommend Geoff's version of blackbird, take me home country roads, and far over the misty mountains cold. He is my favorite bass singer.
And Sixteen Tons! The use of tools as musical instruments was totally inspired!
Geoff did a good version of Far of Misty Mountain cold “. Tim of Homefree also did a version of Misty Mountains with Peter Hollens. Both are epic.
Note VoicePlay just dropped a new one. “ If I were a rich man/ girl “
Have not listened to VoicePlay much, but after your breakdown, am going to delve a little deeper. Good stuff there! Keep it up!
Love watching VoicePlay slowly destroy their brain! :) This is great! Keep it up guys. Far Over the Misty Mountains Cold or The Bear Necessities would be great to watch, though my fav from Geoff is his Halloween stuff. So I've got a ways to wait for them, but that's ok, you guys have tonns of other cool content to watch in the meantime :).
If you want to see the full range of the stupidly amazing bass man, Mr. Castellucci, I would really recommend, "If i were a rich man/girl". Just a great song overall. And the beatboxer dabbles alittle bit in vocals also! Great one to watch!
I loved watching you guys react to this - you're hilarious XD This is one of my favourites by VoicePlay. So crazy creative. I'd recommend checking out Warriors by them as well, or anything on Geoff's channel. His recent cover of Misty Mountains is incredible, so that might be a good place to start. The stuff on his personal channel isn't a capella, fyi.
In case nobody mentioned it, the super low note from Geoff throughout is a subharmonic F1. He's like a human gjallarhorn.
About them dressing up, with the exception of J-None, Geoff, Eli, Layne and Earl all used to work at universal studios singing there, so I think that plays into the dress up but, as well as having a kick ass grinch in their cover of your a mean one mr grinch
I knew the WHOA moment was coming. 😂 My look was one of 😳😳😳. And then he didn’t just hit the note, he held it. It sounds like it hurts. I have no idea how bass singers and beatboxers do what they do without coughing. 😂 Great harmonies, great editing. Great reaction! Try Geoff’s cover of Blackbird AND their Little Mermaid Medley next!
I can hold it for like 4 seconds before I start coughing. Geoff is inhuman lol.
They are using a lot of relative modes and pitch shift theory throughout. Think of the high vocals being Joe Satriani playing over a bass line in a relative key, while some chord intervals line up. Yeah, this is some complex stuff.
Love the reactions, love the fun that is 307. Keep exploring these acapella groups and members!!
Now you have to do their rendition of When I Were a Rich Man/Girl featuring Ashley Diane. Simply crazy!!
you guys would really enjoy their rendition of the little mermaid medley :)
Their Queen medley is awesome
Eli went so hard for this video and I love 😍 he’s such an under appreciated member, but they’re all so crazy talented.
FYI The backgrounds for this were created by Eli. The words are from an Iclandic saga, not a sea Shanty. LIne up is Geoff (Jeff) bass, Eli (elly tenor Jose, guest J.None. baritone, Layne (vocal percussion) Glad you guys enjoyed this. If you haven't already, check out Geoff's Misty Mountains Cold. (Low bass cover) I haven't heard of Hungarian throat singing, I know Mongolian though. Check out The Hu band if you don't know them. (Pronounced as Who)
You should really react to Geoff's "How to sing low" tutorial series, react them in order of release.
Voiceplay's version of the Phantom of the Opera with Rachel Potter is amazing!!! I wish they would do the whole musical!!
You HAVE to do Home Free's Hillbilly Bone and Butts remix
AND Geoff's Headless Horseman; and 16 Tons
Love this song! The testosterone level is through the roof!
I want to play a game where I am the boss and Geoff sings a bunch of super terrifying low notes to make a melody for my entrance. EPIC BOSS MUSIC!
You should really post your reactions to Geoff's tutorials on how he sings low on his own channel. Definitely start with the first one that has close to 2 million views
Love the nicknames you give! lol I’ve heard some refer to Tim, of Home Free, Dragon Breath! lol Love you guys!! Your reactions are legit and I know y’all are blown away (as most of us are the first time we see these guys and Home Free! I’d love to see you react to some of Geoff’s solo stuff, too!
Oogie Boogie.. that's greatness
I love watching how much Acapella blows your mind 🤣 I have something cool for you from Voiceplay.. The latest : The Skyrim theme "the dragonborn comes" From start to finish... Perfect! Please enjoy those harmonies and, as always, the little special extras that make voiceplay so unique. love it Greetings from Germany
Great reaction!! You two are so fun to watch!
Geoff is a god he does solo work also check out headless horseman you will freak love the show I'm a new subscriber so welcome to the voice play family
I lost it in the same way. Awesome.
Loving the reactions .. Keep it up .. Also another good one from voice play would be " you're a mean one Mr Grinch"
Geoff's "Shore" line reminds me more of a Digeridoo on one note than a foghorn.
Everytime i see this reaction, I learn something new ! Thanks ! and laugh a lot too.
Chris' laugh cracks me up
From left to right: Geoff, Eli, Jose Rosario Jr ( Featured guest ), J None, Layne
The "clash of keys" was really a clash of modes; the song in general is in F Aeolian, but that one section borrows the minor subtonic chord from F Phrygian. Pretty interesting twist tho.
Awesome reaction as always guys! Yes, Geoff is the human foghorn as Tim is the human dragon's breath. It's insane how these guys can drop into that lower register with seemingly no effort. I've noticed that when Geoff is about to go subharmonic he holds his hands like he's holding a basketball & when Tim does it, it's usually his right hand like he's holding something down. If I am not mistaken, I think that is one of the "visualization tricks" that Tim had helped G with. It would be AWESOME if Geoff (or Tim even) would do an interview with y'all. Geoff does them a lot. Just a thought. Pretty sure that y'all would lose yer minds. He's a pretty great guy from what I've seen.
If Voiceplay is the theater kids, then PTX is the student council & HF is the tailgaters out in the parking lot partying on down.
Hew--- chop, hack, cut down
Many--- a lot
Foe men--- enemies
Sea shanties are so 2020. VoicePlay went full Viking on this one. Great reaction again, guys! Keep on keepin' on! #Elsewhere
You guys need to react to Voiceplay's _Little Mermaid Medley._ In their dress-up style, Geoff plays Ursula the sea witch! It's not to be missed!
10/10 guys. Love your stuff. And yeah, VoicePlay is just off the chart on their theatricality, and they always have a great big smile on their faces as they do it. They are happy about it all, they are enthusiastic about it all, and that sets us up to enjoy the living daylights out of their stuff.
Now, I'm going to recommend someone out of left-field. Jonathan Young is one of my favorite singers on RUclips. He does a lot of hard rock and heavy metal covers of songs, along with getting more into original work these days. His original song Land of the Living is a blast. When it comes to his covers, I think a good spot to come in would be his cover of Hellfire from The Hunchback of Notre Dame, possibly followed by his collab of The Bells of Notre Dame with Caleb Hyles. Though, I'm really impressed with his take on In the Dark of the Night from Anastasia. The original song is just... SO goofy, and he sells it pretty hard.
Geoff's BASS is similar to sitting in front of the Bass Drum and getting CONSTANTLY drilled by the thuds!!!
Can you react to Home Free Hillbilly Bone, Home Free Butts Remix or Home Free All About That Bass. I love your reactions and think these will show you a different side of Home Free. Thanks.
From left to right:
Geoff Castellucci (bass)
Eli Jacobson (tenor)
Jose Rosario Jr (guest)
J. None (baritone/he just left to the Navy)
Layne Stein (beatboxer/baritone/Zero I guess/arranger of this song and of most of their covers)
If you check out Geoff's channel I'd start with Sixteen Tons or Misty Mountains.
My recommendations are The Little Mermaid Medley, the Moana medley, Queen in 5 minutes, Billie Eilish in 3 minutes, Butter, We're Good, the Frozen 2 medley, Phantom of the Opera, Boy Bands in 5 minutes and If I were a rich man/girl
Geoff - bass, Eli -tenor , Jose J None(left to go into the navy) Layne (zero) is the beat boxer 😊. Great reaction!!
So THAT'S what happened to J-None, I was wondering... man I been out of the loop hard lol
Geoff sound more like a vikinghorn.
I tried to hit an F1 the way Geoff does, and it took the emergency surgeon a while to figure out how to get my larynx out of my quadricep.
haha best reaction ever to this song, they're deconstructing your minds!
Geoff has done it again. Thrilling harmonies though
I enjoyed this so much! You guys are great.
'ZERO' arranged this one.
You guys are great ☺️
Lol electronic bong rip.. it totally does!
I love you guy's reactions! Well done!
As one reactor put it... my testicles can't take it anymore Geoff.🤣
Hi guys! I was rewatching this this morning (I tend to go back a few times to really absorb the music learnin’) and what you said about dissonance got me thinking. Pentatonix has an original song called Run to You that I think (now that I know what dissonance is...) makes really interesting use of that. It’s a tearjerker, slow and intense, but the way they contrast chords and tambours is amazing. If you ever want to, I recommend checking it out!
Love your reactions and to what you were saying about the subharmonics sounding like they would hurt they actually don’t at all. I’ve been practicing subs since September now and it’s actually quite simple once you understand it. It is really hard to explain tho
He actually said he learned to sing that low from Tim Foust and that if you do it wrong you will hurt yourself.
Guys you have got to check out the Hu, Wolf Totem. A Mongolian heavy rock band with throat singing, playing some outrages musical instruments. One being a two string instrument that is bowed. Small armyof Mongolian bikers providing their chorus. You will be amazed.
Geoff does have a video describing how he sings his low notes. You should definitely check it out!!!
You guys 100% need to hear their version of the halo theme song
Sounds like I’m in a deep Buddhist temple with the low part
Mongolian throat singing. you are right about their sound, they are amazing.
Middle guy is the feature (not a regular), next is J None and last is Layne (beatboxer).
Geoff’s 16 tons! You need to watch it!
Love your reaction to this. Can't wait to see you guys lose your sh*t over The Dragonborn Comes form Skyrim, by these guys.
VoicePlay's version of this is just over three and a half minutes long. The one done by The Hound and the Fox feat Adam Chance is just under 2 minutes. And of course their sound is very different.
You guys just HAVE to react to the sequel to this thing, "Valhalla Calling", just released by Voiceplay. Same characters, same costumes and make up, and Geoff goes even lower almost from the get go. And the sweet Cesar get in full Berserker Warrior mode 😁. And there's more, but I don't want to spoiler. 😉
We NEED to watch your reaction to that one. 🙂
See you there (hopefully). 🙂
We recorded our reaction tonight, it’ll air next week, and we were absolutely FLOORED! Can’t wait to see you there! 💪🏼
@@307Reacts Looking forward to watching it! Love your reactions, especially to them! 😁
also check out their cover of "Your a Mean One Mr. Grinch"
They also do straight non-theatrical videos. Check out their cover of True Colors - very different
Geoff is an incredible singer. My mans can hit an A5 "without straining himself too much" and an F#1 in chest voice. His subharmonics are richer than anyone else's and they go down to at least a C#0, at least that's around where he reached when showing off in a video, which is about 1.5 octaves lower than the foghorn note he hits here. He usually tends to stop around B0 in Voiceplay videos since they often sing in Bm, but occasionally hits A0 just for shits and giggles. That is literally the lowest key on the grand piano and mans can still go left for a while. That is ridiculous. I believe a contrabass and a bass guitar go down to E1 for comparison.
