@@dj_410 thank you so much for your priceless reaction to Geoff Castallucci. Welcome to the soothing sounds of Geoff the bass man Castallucci.Please do a reaction video to Geoff Castallucci's cover Ghost Riders In The Sky
@@dj_410 , hello! I'm a new subscriber as of this evening. I subscribed on the Dragonborn video! If you want a great comparison of Geoff's "very high to very low," please check out his "Ain't No Sunshine" (very emotional rendition), and Voiceplay's "Oogie Boogie's Song," where Geoff portrays Oogie Boogie from "The Nightmare Before Christmas"! He goes extremely low to extremely high (in other words, "to there and back again" like Bilbo Baggins! lol!), plus it's a really fun video!
@ DJ410 I finally found your first reaction. You picked a great video. Geoff is one of my favorite artists it is wonderful to see a reactor who is genuine so refreshing. New sub really looking forward to more reactions.❤😊😊
He decides what song to cover, arranges the music, picks out and records all the instrumentation/background sounds, records all the voice layers, edits all the audio layers together and sends them off for final audio engineering, concepts the video idea, picks and orders costuming and set props, rents a filming location, builds the film set, does the lighting unless he needs advanced lighting design which his band mate Eli does for him, films with his wife if stationary cam or with a camera man if steady cam, performs and directs, takes down the set, edits the video, designs the album/single art.... A very talented man!
Geoff doesn't sing a cappella on his solo channel, but he does with his group VoicePlay 🙂 Also, Geoff does 95% of all the work himself, for the music and video. All he gets help with is the final audio engineering, and on some videos he needs help with a camera man for a moving camera, for advanced lighting design and advanced makeup. Everything else he does himself, with his wife helping him as production manager.
It is a pleasure to see someone experience Geoff for the first time. He really is remarkable, and his a cappella group, Voiceplay, is every bit as good. Check out VoicePlay’s The Dragonborn Comes / Skyrim cover, which was arranged by Geoff and shows off the group’s amazing voices.
@@dj_410 A musical reactor that I really like, Elizabeth Zharoff, aka 'The Charismatic Voice' actually did a reaction/musical analysis of VoicePlay's 'Halo' theme joined by the Halo composer, Marty O'Donnell! It was fun and amazing to see how blown away he was by VoicePlay's work.
@@dj_410 hello, new subscriber here. Geoff Castallucci is the low bass singer in the group Voice Play. Please do a reaction video to Voice Plays cover Dream On... originally by Aerosmith. Also Voice Plays cover of Halo the theme song from the video game Halo. The guy who composed the music to the Halo video was so amazed by Voice Plays cover. Also Voice Plays cover to Carry On Wayward Son. Voice Play knocks them out of the ball park.
As a big Geoff Castellucci fan, what fascinates me about this song is that he hits that low G (G1) three different ways, once as a subharmonic, another in his chest voice, and another using a fry technique.
Omg thats amazing! I swear these acapella reactions make me want to get singing training just so I can understand the intricacies of everything they are doing!
@@dj_410 Right?! Geoff has some teaching videos on his channel, and there are some vocal coaches on RUclips who explain technique. I've been singing in choirs since I was a kid, but never professionally, so it's been awesome to learn more.
The Charismatic Voice (another reactor, who happens to be a professional opera singer) has a video where she interviews Geoff and he goes over his process of planning out an arrangement. It's QUITE informative and I urge you to watch it when you get the chance. Geoff's a BEAST and does it all.
Wait, wait, wait.... you made this only three months ago??? Why does it feel like I've been watching your reactions all year? I've even begun to yell "SIR!!!" when I hear those bass notes. Sheesh, time flies when you're having fun listening to Geoff.
Coming back her nearly 1 year later and I realise that you have not lost anything that I loved about this reaction but have gained so much in confidence. It is a wonderful journey you have gone on and We as a herd are so proud of you
First reaction to Geoff oh yeah. I absolutely LOVE that man. He does all his own singing in his 5 octave range and arranges his own music. I love love love Geoff.
You've stumbled across an amazing artist. He has been singing professionally since 1997, his acapella group was renamed Voiceplay about 10 or 12 years ago. There have been member changes, so when you see someone in Voiceplay that you don't know, relax. We are a forgiving group and will let you know who's who. Geoff only started doing solo work during the pandemic, so his catalogue is not as extensive as Voiceplay. Suggestions for Geoff: High and Dry - the only piece he's done without truly solo, no Geoff clones or other singers. The range will have you shivering Shenandoah - an American folk song, soothing and sweet House of the Rising Sun - he's just showing off Subscribe in anticipation of more Geoff and Voiceplay!
Awesome reaction DJ. All of Geoff and Voiceplay videos are awesome. My favorites... Geoff... High and Dry (shows his whole range). Ghost Riders In The Sky. The Rains of Castemere. Monster Mash. Bare Necessities. Voiceplay... In The Hall of The Mountain King. Hide and Seek (Ding Dong). Nothing Else Matters. In My Room. My Mother Told Me. Halo Theme. Dragonborn Comes Skyrim. Enemy. Welcome to the Voiceplay/Geoff Castellucci rabbit holes. I fell April last year and never looked back. Voiceplay is known as both "The Theater Kids" of Acapella and "The Kings of Halloween". Because of their love of dressing up in costumes and entertaining in their videos. Geoff as well. As you can tell by my above list these guys are not afraid to go out of the box and sing anything. They both released their new videos on Patreon Tuesday. So they should be releasing them to RUclips soon. We usually get to watch them there first for about a week. I'm on both of theirs and Pattycake Productions which is owned by Layne Stein the beatboxer and former member Tony Wakim. They also have a bunch of awesome videos they wrote and did everything with. Voiceplay and Geoff film at their studio. I love Voiceplay because of several reasons. First their awesomely talented in everything they do. All of them. They do everything themselves from picking a song to cover to releasing it on RUclips. Direction, editing, concept, arrangement, lighting, costumes, production. The only things they don't do is makeup, cameras and audio mixing. Also. These guys are all genuine. Ones you want as best friends and hangout with. I call them Goofballs. "Butter" is a great example of that. Watch them in the background. If you want to know more about them I recommend checking out Huldra Draco channel. She is a huge long time fan and makes various informative videos about them. I learned a lot from them. The present members are... Geoff Castellucci - Bass. Founding member. 1997. Layne Stein - Vocal Percussion/Baritone. Founding member. 1997. Eli (ellee) Jacobson - Tenor/Rock Tenor. Joined 2010. Cesar De La Rosa - Baritone/Tenor. Joined 2021. They do collaborations with various artists for the 5th. So depending on the video is to who is in it. This is easy for them as they live in Orlando Florida. All used to perform at Disney World, Universal Studios or both. Sorry about the rambling. I tend to do that when I'm telling about something or someone I love so much.
@@dj_410 Awesome. Subscribed in anticipation of more Voiceplay and Geoff. And hopefully Pattycake. My favorites on there are... Bump In The Night. The Villains Haunted Mansion. The Villains Lair series. They just released "season 2 episode 4 That's All" a few months ago. Maleficent and The Evil Queen have a nice little argument. Pattycake actors and actresses are extremely talented. My favorite in the series is season 2 episode 2 with Oogie Boogie. Layne and Tony gave him a whole new song. On another note... Meet Buddy in my profile picture. He's a skunk I used to have. He was my baby boy and emotional support animal. I miss him so much. Best pet I ever had. He will never go out of my heart. Skunks are similar to cats except they are hypoallergenic and they eat people food.
Welcome to the rabbit hole that is Geoff Castellucci and subsequently Voiceplay... They have a loyal following and as you can see in the comments, some are nerdy. ( in the nicest way). We love to watch reactors when they first encounter them... We enjoy the look of shock and excitement that Geoff and Voiceplay bring. There are soon many great videos to go through, all of them brilliant... My personal favourites of Geoff's are Ghost riders in the sky, Ain no sunshine, Shenandoah and pretty much everything else. 😊As for VP... I love the Disney medleys, Tennessey whiskey, The Dragonbirn comes, Hoist the colours, My mother told me, and everything else 😊 am subscribing in anticipation. ❤🇬🇧
Not much else to add here but I'll just add my welcome to the Geoff\Voiceplay rabbit hole. Yes us fans are a passionate lot, and we love watching others experience this for the first time. Can't wait to see more!
Looking forward to a lot of Geoff and VoicePlay reactions! I'd love to hear you react to his cover of Ain't No Sunshine. Geoff's wife, Kathy, is his production manager (as she is production manager for VoicePlay) but pretty much everything else was Geoff's work. With VoicePlay, be sure you put Hoist the Colors, In My Room and Nothing Else Matters on your list. These three provide a good range of experiences. They do a lot of different kinds of work, and this trio will give you a bit of perspective.
Awesome! Definitely adding these to the list! I have some other reactions recorded to upload already of other artists but stay tuned for more Geoff in the future for sure!
I love seeing someone hear Geoff for the first time. Even those of us who have listened to him for ages still get hit by the deep notes and how wide his range is (5 octaves) and an amazing ability to move up and down his range which is really tricky to do. You aren't the first to compare him to a dragon and his speaking voice is velvet For a less serious feeling song try the Monster Mash just to give you an idea of his range. You definitely should try Voiceplay as well which is totally acapella at least virtually all the time anyway. As others have said a Dragonborn comes (he definitely brings the dragon) and Halo are obvious gamer ones but honestly there are so many epic ones. One thing to keep in mind is they have had changes in their line up over the years and currently they have four members of the group and bring in a guest singer each time to make them up to five. Do for instance for Enermy (from Arcane, League of legends) (listen for Geoff going from low to high) , they bring in Alexa and in their most recent one Nothing Else matters by Metellica (which has broken many reactors) they have J None who is a ex-member who is currently in the armed and many hope will rejoin them when he finished that. They also have done a lot of Disney, most recently a very good version of We don't talk about Bruno.
Geoff and his clones. What's better than one Geoff? 4 & 5 Geoffs. It always blows me away how long he can hold the last low notes. VoicePlay is his group. #TheatreKidsOfACappella. Welcome to the Geoff Castellucci & VoicePlay rabbit hole.
You've been geoffquaked. Welcome to the rabbit hole of geoff and potentially voiceplay, we have cookies 🤣😈 I've been stuck down here for at least 2 months with no end in sight. Always love seeing people react to him for the very first time. He truly is amazing, along with voiceplay. It's incredible what they can do with just their voices. I would also agree with others, I think you'd love voiceplays halo theme and the dragonborn comes to get started with them. For geoff, just pick anything you think looks good on his channel and you'll love it honestly. If you like game of thrones, his rains of castamere is amazing. I mean, honestly even if you've never watched that show its still amazing 😂. Subscribed in hopes of more geoff and voiceplay reactions ❤️
@@dj_410 awesome, I can't wait! Also if you want to hear what I like to refer to as the "dragon purr" check out voiceplays cover of enemy from imagine dragons, the end note he does will vibrate you from your head to your toes. Also, geoff's covers of high and dry from radiohead and Blackbird from the Beatles show off his highs and lows really well, so they are definitely a must see! 😁
I've been stuck in the Geoff/Voiceplay rabbit hole for a couple of years now and there truly is NO end in sight :D did you hear Valhalla? I'm obsessed, again :D
It's always so much fun to see someone's first time hearing Geoff. He's more than just an amazing vocalist (5 octave range- you still haven't heard him sing high yet!); he arranges all of his own covers, from all the vocal lines to any instrumentation the track includes. He does this for half of VoicePlay's work as well (that's the a cappella group where he sings bass), with the other half being provided by VoicePlay's vocal percussionist, Layne Stein. Layne also co-owns a video production studio called Pattycake Productions, and Geoff shoots quite a few of his videos there. This particular set is known as the Villain's Lair and it features in quite a few Pattycake original videos, as well as yet another Geoff video- his cover of the Halloween classic, The Monster Mash. Geoff's solo work gained a lot of notice when he released his cover of 16 Tons. It doesn't drop quite as deep as this song does, but it's such a smart, minimal arrangement, and Geoff executes it perfectly. One thing Misty Mountains lacks is any opportunity to display Geoff's remarkable vocal agility, even when he is surprisingly low- you don't really expect a bass to be able to perform runs, but Geoff doesn't listen to nonsense like that, and does it anyway. Other than that, I've got to second others' recommendation for Ain't No Sunshine, which is such a sublime cover, and House of the Rising Sun, which he reinterprets brilliantly.
@@dj_410 Have you watched their unexpected musicals? My favorite remains Michaelificent. I never really thought of Michael Jackson songs as ominous but she pulls it off!
Love it! I haven’t heard anyone say Jeez Louise since my stepdad passed! Thanks for the good memory! Great reaction, and as you already know, there’s lots to listen to with Geoff!!
You’ve just went down the Voiceplay and Geoff Castellucci rabbit hole, you will definitely gain viewers, I subscribed because I seen you were reacting to Geoff, he is fantastic and his group VoicePlay is amazing, they have a variety of genres some rock, some Disney, some pop so have fun! Glad to be here and see the new reactions.
Thank you so much for the Sub! Definitely can't wait to see more of his/their stuff! Will be uploading another of his videos super soon so keep your eyes out :)
OMG BEST AND MOST AUTHENTIC REACTION I'VE EVER WITNESSED!! ALL HAIL TO DJ - COME ALL YE LOVERS OF GEOFF AND WATCH THIS VIDEO!! Let me pull out all the stops and I'll post all my favorite moments. THANK YOU DJ for reacting to my favorite singer ever. You were perfect. You did it full justice and I bow to you sir. I am SO EXCITED TO SEE MORE OF THESE!!
Lmao. Welcome to the geoff castellucci/voiceplay rabbit hole. Do yourself a favor and don't resist. Just let yourself fall. The music is phenomenal. Check out the dragonborn comes from voiceplay. And hoist the colors. Absolutely floored. And my mother told me. Amazing
Now that I know you've been introduced to HomeFree, Jeoff said that Tim Faust "HomeFree" taught him how to go sub- harmonic without damaging his vocal cords.
First time reaction huh , I’m blessed then cause I’ve seen you melt several times already- just know your rollercoaster is long and your future fulfilling ❤
That reaction you are feelings have been termed GeoffQuakes. We all feel them. Geoff has a near 5 octave range. He shows it off best in his solo songs, but pretty much in all his covers. You seem to like games. Voice play covered The Dragonborn Come, and Enemy, for two.
This is amazing, I will most decidedly agree with you there. Another version of this song is done by Tim Foust and Peter Hollens. Their version is actually a capella...nothing but their voices. They have done many songs together, but in this one, Tim gets to show off his own range including the last note which blows people away. They both go high and low in it. Just in case you wanted to hear another version of this song sung low.
Geoff only started his solo channel during the pandemic lockdown, as a way to help keep busy and make a little extra money because his vocal group VoicePlay wasn't able to do concerts or tour. I believe his first video was Bare Necessities from the Disney movie The Jungle Book. He's been putting out content regularly since then, usually about 1 per month. And he does almost all of the work himself - arranging the song, performing the different vocals, producing, filming, performing (acting), and editing the video (although he uses the same audio mix engineer that many of the big a cappella groups (including VoicePlay) use, Ed Boyer). He gets some help with costuming, makeup, sets, lighting, all using the same facilities and people that VoicePlay uses for many of their videos. His wife Kathy is the production manager for both him and VoicePlay, and keeps things on track - which I imagine, with all of the different personalities involved in VoicePlay, is a lot like herding half-a-dozen cats. Recommendations: Sixteen Tons, Blackbird, Till Then, Monster Mash VoicePlay recommendations: The Dragonborn Comes (Skyrim), Halo theme, Enemy feat. AleXa, Nothing Else Matters, I Can't Make You Love Me, Little Mermaid Medley
Adding all these to my list! Sixteen Tons will be out in the next day or so and Dragonborn Comes will be very soon! Thanks for your awesome and insightful comment!
The dwarves represented are, from left to right, Thorin, Fili, and Bofur, with Geoff himself giving beardless Kili vibes. Rick Underwood did the makeup and hair work. You can always look in the descriptions of Geoff's and VoicePlay's videos for a full credits list.
Wait until you see some of his work with VoicePlay. They are all amazingly talented and so damn entertaining to watch. You will probably love The Dragonborn Comes.
To experience Geoff's range I recommend his cover of the Beatles Blackbird. It is amazing! For pure fun I recommend his cover of Elvis Presley's Way Down!
Ok. Just a note... Thorin the dwarf King sings this before they lesve to the forest of Erebor , but it is also sung by the Hobbits in the Fellowship movie, when they start out with Strider towards Rivendell. Geoff is beyond talented. The group he sings with is called Voice play and if you want dragon song, listen to their version of "The dragonborn comes" from the soundtrack of Skyrim. They even learn how to sing in Dovahul(witch is Dragon speak, from the game). Epic soundtrack.
I decided to go back and see your first time hearing Geoff. not disappointed at all. I couldn't stop smiling. your face is very expressive and we love to see that around here ^^ Geoff's voice brings actual pleasure (that can go any direction, really, depending on the person, so I don't mean it in the NSFW sense lol although, it can go that direction too :D ) and I really enjoy seeing other people react to it ^^
I saw your reaction to Voiceplay's Dragonborn and had to subscribe. Now, I'm watching EVERY one of your a cappella reactions. Great work!! I have no idea what you were doing on RUclips before your intro to Geoff, Voiceplay and Home Free but I'm here for this new direction.Check out Voctave- Great movie medley, or Prince of Egypt medley...it's all good.
I loved your reaction to this video and am happy to hear you want to do more videos. Geoff is my favorite singer and VoicePlay is my favorite group. They are all so talented and fun. Geoff does subharmonic singing to get some of his lower notes. I've watched a tutorial he did on it and still don't understand how he does it!😅
He seems to be a total one of a kind! I think I could study with all the best vocal trainers in the world and still not understand what Geoff does, let alone do it 😂 Thanks so much for your lovely comment
i was introduced to this at christmas, because my aunt was trying to find something else on grandma's tv via youtube.... we figured it out eventually, but she was going with "same guy, multiple parts" and dad volunteered THIS... my favorites are the "sixteen tons" and "little mermaid" (yeah, i've got a soft spot for ursula and the rest of the disney villains... except they don't sing....)
Great reaction! You are going to find so much more to enjoy with Geoff. And you are so right about one-trick basses. A family friend was the bass in a choir, and every one went on and on about how good he was - but you couldn't understand a word he was singing when he went low, he was just a low drone. Geoff's control is amazing and so hardwon. I would love to be a fly on the wall when he's practicing!
So enjoyed watching you discover Geoff! We do love our boy! He arranges his music, films, edits, etc himself. He also arranges for his acapella group, VoicePlay, along with the beatboxer (they alternate).
Excellent reaction. Geoff is an incredible singer and sooo entertaining. His channel is loaded with great music as is his a cappella group, VoicePlay. Definitely my favorite a cappella group. Geoff does use some instrumentation in n his solo videos. Hopefully you’ll check out more from Both Geoff and VoicePlay.
For another Epic song, check out Geoff's Acapella group VoicePlay doing the theme from Skyrim, "The Dragonborn Comes". The group is all in costumes as if they were elves in the video game. Geoff starts it off with low growl, then you get introduced to the beautiful voices of the rest of them. They feature Omar Cardona on this song, and a few other songs as well. Great reaction!
You got his name right. At least people outside the US know how to say Geoff. (At first I thought Brit but then heard Oz in there). Castellucci is an Italian name and you got it right. Yes this song is from The Hobbit. And Geoff is so right for it. I loved your reaction. He gives us all chills. But he does have different, cheerier, songs. His range is amazing. The a capella group he sings with is VoicePlay. He does have a makeup artist, and someone he refers to as a beard wrangler but just about everything else he does. Although ex member Tony Wakim I believe makes a lot of the costumes for him and VoicePlay. Tony left the group to go behind the camera for Pattycake Produntions, which he and Layne, the beatboxer for VoicePlay, jointly run and own.
Great reaction! Several of my favorites have already been listed but I’d like to add his Halloween offering from this year which was Ghost Riders in the Sky. It is an old country standard but was also used as a theme for a show/movie/game (?). For the group VoicePlay: for drama I would suggest Hoist the Colours from Pirates 3 it Warriors, for fun I would recommend Boy Bands in 5 minutes, and for something totally different Grieg’s Hall of the Mountain King from the Peer Gynt orchestral suite. Another one that has people shaking their heads right now is the cover of nothing else matters originally covered by Metallica. They don’t like to limit themselves to one genre! Subscribing in hopes that you’ll follow through on covering Geoff and the band VoicePlay. VoicePlay has been around since Geoff and Layne were in middle school. Geoff graduated high school in 97 when they issued their first album under a different band name. The two of them, along with Earl who had been the high tenor for over 20 years started it all. They have had several personnel changes of mostly it’s been the baritones - they usually last about seven years. Be sure to always watch until the Patreon roll starts. Sometimes they’ll add a little something extra!
Thank you so much for the Sub and the suggestions! They have been added to the list but I can confirm that Sixteen Tons will be going up tomorrow night (Sydney time) so keep an eye out for that and I will hopefully be filming Dragonborn Comes by VP later this week! Lots of Geoff and VoicePlay to come!!
Geoff Castellucci and also Voiceplay cover a wide range of songs brilliantly. To get a real idea of his range check out his covers of Blackbird by the Beatles or country song Shenandoah. For some fun try The Headless Horseman or Monster Mash. For Voiceplay try their medley of Queen in 5 Minutes or their cover of Metallica's Nothing Else Matters. Otherwise Geoff and Voiceplay have a lot of fans and we love seeing new people discover them. Great reaction, a lot of fun to watch. Can't wait to see what you choose next
Hey there! The algorithm popped you up on my feed because I watch a lot of VoicePlay/Geoff reactions. Loved your first time reaction. Looking forward to you doing more. If you are going to watch more of these, my one piece of advice is to always run the video back 5 or 10 seconds after every pause. The reason is that some of the most interesting stuff happens on a transition, and people tend to pause right at the end of a segment when a transition begins. If you just start the video up again, you sometime miss the most interesting bit because it takes your brain a second to get back up to speed.
Loved the reaction, very enjoyable, thank you! I think everyone has already said everything, so I'll just say welcome to the Geoff/VoicePlay rabbit hole, it runs beautifully and harmoniously deep often with a good sprinkling of humour. Have fun with all the song suggestions and as someone said, we Geoff/VP fans are a passionate bunch who will be there for anything related. Subscribed in anticipation of more! 🙂👍
Thanks so much for the lovely comment and the Sub, more Geoff will be up tomorrow night (Sydney time) and then voiceplay will be soon after! Can't wait!!!!
Best ready yourself for many dragons. 16 Tons is a good starting place. And yes, do go after Voiceplay. They're also big into halloween...Oogie Boogie's song, My Mother Told Me, and We Don't Talk About Bruno...and the others I'd suggest have already been named;
Actually, Tim Foust from Home Free has a deeper voice. He blows subwoofers. When I saw them live in Toronto you could feel his low notes through your ass and the seat.
I don't know how I missed this reaction!!! Glad I watched it now. I love seeing when people first discover Geoff!!!! And how great is it that this was your first reaction?? I also wish I was in Australia..I would totally play D&D with you! Chaotic good lol... good intentions, questionable methods. 😝😝😝😝
I love it. Amazing reaction and genuin. I have never heard this song before and it really gave me the chills. Im looking forward for more reaction videos ^_^
Another version you might want to try is with Tim Foust of Home Free and Peter Hollens. Geoff's Riders in the Sky is probably my favorite after 16 tons
Welcome to the inhuman(alien) ability of Geoff. The group name you were looking for is Voiceplay. There are many great songs to look at. Being a gamer, I would recommend their Halo theme reaction. If you like rock, I recommend their recent Metallica cover of Nothing Else Matters. For more of Geoff alone, try out The House of The Rising Sun(originally by the animals), Ain't No Sunshine(Bill Withers), or Ghost Riders in the Sky(not sure which version he sourced). A fun note on voiceplay the different members take turns writing arrangements. I know Geoff wrote the Metallica arrangement, not sure on any others.
Love me some Geoff admiration.. you will love exploring him and his group Voice Play. I will suggest their songs Attention, Eleanor Rigby to add to the other suggestions. They are a bit older and don't get enough love. Subbed ❤️
good choice for your first dive into a capella, there are 4 or 5 great groups. Geoff and Voiceplay are the theatrical group. if you like video games check out Voiceplay's Dragonborn Comes. they also do a ton of Disney songs
You’ve already been given a lot of good information. I’ll add that - as good as Geoff’s voice is - it is well matched by the talents of the other members of VoicePlay and their featured artists. They often defy categorization. For example, one listed as baritone may sing the highest note, as in Dream On. A little tidbit about the set: This was filmed at Pattycake Studios, owned by Layne Stein (VoicePlay’s beatboxer) and Tony Wakim, VoicePlay’s former baritone. This is their Villians Lair series set, and the finish painting on it was done by the set designer that did much of the work on Hogwarts Castle at Universal. You’ll see more of this set if you react to Dragonborn Comes/Skyrim by VoicePlay.
Omg I'm currently streaming Hogwars Legacy so it's such a cool little fact that the set designer from the hogwars movie made this set! Can't wait to see it more in future vids
Great reaction. Geoff is truly amazing and he has a 5-6 octave range. Check out the Oogie Boogey Song by VoicePlay to see his range. Welcome to the wonderful world of Acca Pella!! On a side note, VoicePlay has done a cover of Mettalica'a Nothing Else Matters
Welcome to the rabbit hole!! RUclips is very good at luring you down a rabbit hole, which leads to another rabbit hole, which leads to yet another rabbit hole and, before you know, it you are not just down a rabbit hole but lost in a complete rabbit warren!! The accappella rabbit hole lead me to the bass singers rabbit hole which lead to a Disney rock/metal covers rabbit hole....... 🤨 A recommended acappella cover, "Hall of the mountain king" by VoicePlay, lead me down the VoicePlay and Geoff Castellucci rabbit hole which lead me to Home Free (one of your reactions to them popped up on my recommended list today, so here I am, a new subscriber!). From the acappella rabbit holes I went down the bass singers rabbit holes and found the Bass Gang. From there I found one of their collaborators, Jonathan Young, and got lead down his rock/metal covers rabbit hole, which lead me to................. It's never ending! 🤣 Anyway, I really enjoyed this reaction to Geoff. I had a similar reaction to him and his bass notes on first hearing (I think it's a common reaction 😉) and will be going through your output catching up on your reactions now. 🙂
You haven't heard anything yet, you seriously need to react to his solo covers of sixteen tons, ain't no Sunshine by Bill withers, and black bird by the Beatles, in order to truly understand his solo talent And as far as being a member of voiceplay., I highly recommend" dream on","warriors","nothing else matters","hoist the colours", so that you get a full exposure to the talent that is Geoff castellucci. Welcome to acapella. There are three groups, that you should definitely take a listen to., Pentatonix, or PTX as they are known to their fans, has won the Grammy award three times. Home Free, could best be that, as the guys you invite to the barbecue. Highly recommend you listen to"Man of constant sorrow" that is the first step down the rabbit hole of home Free. And just so you know voiceplay has been described as the theater kids of acapella, because of their use of lighting makeup and costume ideas. No matter which one you choose to listen to first enjoy the journey...... trust me it's worth it
I would suggest that you listen to Voiceplay's cover of Dream On by Aerosmith. Geoff(pronounced as jeff) is a member of Voiceplay. They are an amazing A Capella group.
I recommend Geoff's Big Bad John for more mining themed music. Ghost Riders in the Sky is another epic spectacular by Geoff. Both of these will astound you, be prepared.
Hi, second video of yours I’ve watched, my first was hoist the colors, and I see you’re a new channel, so I’m gonna start watching all your stuff. I love full-body reactors. 2:21 baby’s first Geoffquake 😂 I see great things for this channel.
6:22 3. I see the birth of a Geoff Castellucci fan. Wish I had seen this back when it came out, so I could shake you and scream to watch Voiceplay and the bass gang. On the other hand, I’m thrilled to see you have reactions from them too!
8:17 4. And that, my dear, is what we refer to as ‘you’ve been Geoffed’ it’s quite a transcendent experience, and it’s particularly powerful on this particular song. By far my favorite Geoff cover ever.
12:07 Geoff Castellucci actually doesn’t have a super deep speaking voice. It’s deep yeah, but if you want a dragon, commission a voice recording from Corpse Husband. Also, react to Corpse Husband. He’s also got music, I particularly like ‘White Tee’, but ‘Agoraphobic’ might be more your speed for this channel.
Another bass singer you should check out is Tim Faust (and his acapella group Home Free). Also, check out Bass Gang, which is a group just made up of bass singers.
I think my body might crumble if I heard an entire group of bass singers haha but I can't wait for it! Added both groups to my list, let me know any specific songs you suggest
@@dj_410 My favourite Bass Gang covers are Mad World and Centuries, but their lastest, Hooked on a feeling, is also well worth a listen. Each one has a guest artist. Hooked on a feeling features Tim Faust (he's the one in the red jacket). Centuries features Johnathan Young (he has a brownish scarf. Mad World features Elliot Robinson. I'm not as familiar with Home Free's work, but my favourites are their cover of Ring of Fire, and their cover of Elvira, which heatured the Oakridge Boys. Last, I know a lot of people will have different opinions on which Voice Play songs you should react to, but it's hard to beat their cover of Oogie Boogie's Song (from Nightmare Before Christmas) even if it is one of their older songs and a couple of the people have left since it was released.
And it’s not just from the movie. It’s also in the book. Tolkien himself wrote the lyrics! Peter Hollens has two covers of it, one by himself and one with Tim Foust, and they have a different subset of the lyrics. Here’s the full 20-minute song: ruclips.net/video/LY0lLcz3Qis/видео.html
You might enjoy Dragonborn Comes Skyrim with all of Geoff's group VoicePlay. Also My Mother Told Me, Oogie Boogie's Song will give you a feeling for his range (5 octaves) as well as the Halo Theme. VoicePlay fans love reactors - we get to watch you be amazed by a group that we love - not only fantastic vocalists but really good people. You will have a lot of us here for Geoff's solos as well as VoicePlay.
Welcome to being broken by Geoff (and hopefully soon by VoicePlay as well). One thing to keep in mind once you do listen to VoicePlay is that they often have guest singers and that their line-up has changed as different people have left. Geoff and Layne are the remaining founding members. Scott Porter was also a founding member and the original beatboxer but he left for Hollywood. You can see him perform in the Halo theme and in Sing. Layne took over as beatboxer after Scott left. I believe the song was performed in The Hobbit after all the dwarves showed up at Bilbo's home but before they headed out for the adventure the next morning. Thorin Oakenshield was the main singer (heir to the dwarf throne of Misty Mountain). Richard Armitage was great in that role. I agree The Hobbit was not as good as LOtR, I really disliked the Legolas/Tauriel love arc did not occur in the book, in fact, Legolas was not in The Hobbit book.
I can't wait to react to some VoicePlay especially because im a huge halo fan! Yeah I just felt like it lost something when all the CGI was added, LOTR felt so real and lived in and believable because it was! The Hobbit just felt like another CGI fantasy
@@dj_410 oh, before I forget to add, make sure to watch the videos (especially VoicePlay) all the way to the Patreon list as they often have Easter Eggs at the end...
An interesting fact about this song is that it's the movie adaptation of the original that was much more up beat and ment to be up lifting and was made for the lord of the rings/ hobbit cartoon can't remember the year give it a listen if you get the chance there's a big difference
Very enjoyable reaction! Geoff is super impressive and definitely does fantastic work on these videos. I'd suggest his video of Way Down (Elvis cover and very funny. Watch after the end for a small amusing bit.) If you turn on the closed captioning, Geoff sometimes includes little bits of humour in the captions as well. :)
Geoff has a whole bunch of great stuff on his channel. Please feel free to react to more. I'd also like to point out that there is another great base singer out there. His name is Tim Foust who also sings with the group Home Free. Tim also covered this song with Peter Hollens. It's done differently than this version but is just as amazing! Even if you don't react to it, which you should, do yourself a favor and check it out for your own pleasure. Have a nice day! 😉is
By the way! Colm McGuinness, Johnathan Young, and Peyton Young did a cover of this song too! If you like deep voice, it's sure to grace your ears with holiness.
Welcome to the Geoff Castellucci cavern! You say you're new to reacting to musical content. If I may offer a tip or two: your sound is very uneven, from the very loud opening, your sound drops dramatically when you talk and listen to the content you're reacting to. I only say this because many of us (knowing Geoff's depth of sound) wear headphones or in ear buds, and the wall of sound of your intro music had me tearing out my ear buds. So far I like your reaction, and I saw from others in the VoicePlay / Geoff community that you now know some more about him, such as he doesn't compete with his group by doing a cappella works on his solo channel. You will have a lot of content and engagement from our community if you continue to react to Geoff and VoicePlay!!
Hey DJ, This is my other channel. Voiceplay released their new video on patreon a week ago. Its amazing. We'll just say "Geppeto". Pattycake Productions released their new video on patreon last night. A whole new take on Cinderella. Don't know yet when these will be on RUclips. Hopefully soon

Omg Culurien thank you so much for this
@@dj_410 thank you so much for your priceless reaction to Geoff Castallucci. Welcome to the soothing sounds of Geoff the bass man Castallucci.Please do a reaction video to Geoff Castallucci's cover Ghost Riders In The Sky
@@dj_410 , hello! I'm a new subscriber as of this evening. I subscribed on the Dragonborn video! If you want a great comparison of Geoff's "very high to very low," please check out his "Ain't No Sunshine" (very emotional rendition), and Voiceplay's "Oogie Boogie's Song," where Geoff portrays Oogie Boogie from "The Nightmare Before Christmas"! He goes extremely low to extremely high (in other words, "to there and back again" like Bilbo Baggins! lol!), plus it's a really fun video!
@@johnbattles1002 Thanks so much for your suggestions and for subscribing! I cant wait to check these out!!
@ DJ410
I finally found your first reaction. You picked a great video. Geoff is one of my favorite artists it is wonderful to see a reactor who is genuine so refreshing. New sub really looking forward to more reactions.❤😊😊
He decides what song to cover, arranges the music, picks out and records all the instrumentation/background sounds, records all the voice layers, edits all the audio layers together and sends them off for final audio engineering, concepts the video idea, picks and orders costuming and set props, rents a filming location, builds the film set, does the lighting unless he needs advanced lighting design which his band mate Eli does for him, films with his wife if stationary cam or with a camera man if steady cam, performs and directs, takes down the set, edits the video, designs the album/single art.... A very talented man!
Wow!! I had no idea he did THAT MUCH!! I'm blown away! My appreciation for Geoff deepens.
Omg and here I can't even get my reaction video to not look stretched on RUclips! Crazy talented man!!!
Geoff doesn't sing a cappella on his solo channel, but he does with his group VoicePlay 🙂
Also, Geoff does 95% of all the work himself, for the music and video. All he gets help with is the final audio engineering, and on some videos he needs help with a camera man for a moving camera, for advanced lighting design and advanced makeup. Everything else he does himself, with his wife helping him as production manager.
Omg thats amazing! This guy continues to amaze me!!
@@dj_410 You need to go to @huldradraco channel she has an amazing history of VoicePlay members etc.
It is a pleasure to see someone experience Geoff for the first time. He really is remarkable, and his a cappella group, Voiceplay, is every bit as good. Check out VoicePlay’s The Dragonborn Comes / Skyrim cover, which was arranged by Geoff and shows off the group’s amazing voices.
Also VoicePlay's Halo theme arrangement, and be sure to watch all the way to the end to understand why they did it and who it is dedicated to!
Omg yesssss I love skyrim! Talk about it all the time on my twitch!!! Okay definitely adding this one to the list!
And hells yes! Halo aswell! Can't wait!
@@dj_410 A musical reactor that I really like, Elizabeth Zharoff, aka 'The Charismatic Voice' actually did a reaction/musical analysis of VoicePlay's 'Halo' theme joined by the Halo composer, Marty O'Donnell! It was fun and amazing to see how blown away he was by VoicePlay's work.
@@dj_410 hello, new subscriber here. Geoff Castallucci is the low bass singer in the group Voice Play. Please do a reaction video to Voice Plays cover Dream On... originally by Aerosmith. Also Voice Plays cover of Halo the theme song from the video game Halo. The guy who composed the music to the Halo video was so amazed by Voice Plays cover. Also Voice Plays cover to Carry On Wayward Son. Voice Play knocks them out of the ball park.
As a big Geoff Castellucci fan, what fascinates me about this song is that he hits that low G (G1) three different ways, once as a subharmonic, another in his chest voice, and another using a fry technique.
Omg thats amazing! I swear these acapella reactions make me want to get singing training just so I can understand the intricacies of everything they are doing!
@@dj_410 Right?! Geoff has some teaching videos on his channel, and there are some vocal coaches on RUclips who explain technique. I've been singing in choirs since I was a kid, but never professionally, so it's been awesome to learn more.
Welcome to the Geoff/Voiceplay rabbit hole
So glad to have found this hole and to be here!
Welcome to the Geoff train. Be sure to take a trip on the VoicePlay train. ❤
Welcome to the Geoff Castellucci/Voiceplay rabbit hole.
Glad to be here 🥰 thanks for watching!!
The Charismatic Voice (another reactor, who happens to be a professional opera singer) has a video where she interviews Geoff and he goes over his process of planning out an arrangement. It's QUITE informative and I urge you to watch it when you get the chance. Geoff's a BEAST and does it all.
Wait, wait, wait.... you made this only three months ago??? Why does it feel like I've been watching your reactions all year? I've even begun to yell "SIR!!!" when I hear those bass notes.
Sheesh, time flies when you're having fun listening to Geoff.
Haha it really does feel like ages ago 😅
Coming back her nearly 1 year later and I realise that you have not lost anything that I loved about this reaction but have gained so much in confidence. It is a wonderful journey you have gone on and We as a herd are so proud of you
First reaction to Geoff oh yeah. I absolutely LOVE that man. He does all his own singing in his 5 octave range and arranges his own music. I love love love Geoff.
You've stumbled across an amazing artist. He has been singing professionally since 1997, his acapella group was renamed Voiceplay about 10 or 12 years ago. There have been member changes, so when you see someone in Voiceplay that you don't know, relax. We are a forgiving group and will let you know who's who.
Geoff only started doing solo work during the pandemic, so his catalogue is not as extensive as Voiceplay.
Suggestions for Geoff:
High and Dry - the only piece he's done without truly solo, no Geoff clones or other singers. The range will have you shivering
Shenandoah - an American folk song, soothing and sweet
House of the Rising Sun - he's just showing off
Subscribe in anticipation of more Geoff and Voiceplay!
Thank you so much for the Sub and these great suggestions with context! I'll definitely add those to the list
Yes to all of those! Shenandoah is a personal favorite. And Big John!
Awesome reaction DJ.
All of Geoff and Voiceplay videos are awesome.
My favorites...
Geoff...
High and Dry (shows his whole range).
Ghost Riders In The Sky.
The Rains of Castemere.
Monster Mash.
Bare Necessities.
Voiceplay...
In The Hall of The Mountain King.
Hide and Seek (Ding Dong).
Nothing Else Matters.
In My Room.
My Mother Told Me.
Halo Theme.
Dragonborn Comes Skyrim.
Enemy.
Welcome to the Voiceplay/Geoff Castellucci rabbit holes. I fell April last year and never looked back.
Voiceplay is known as both "The Theater Kids" of Acapella and "The Kings of Halloween". Because of their love of dressing up in costumes and entertaining in their videos. Geoff as well. As you can tell by my above list these guys are not afraid to go out of the box and sing anything.
They both released their new videos on Patreon Tuesday. So they should be releasing them to RUclips soon. We usually get to watch them there first for about a week. I'm on both of theirs and Pattycake Productions which is owned by Layne Stein the beatboxer and former member Tony Wakim. They also have a bunch of awesome videos they wrote and did everything with. Voiceplay and Geoff film at their studio.
I love Voiceplay because of several reasons. First their awesomely talented in everything they do. All of them. They do everything themselves from picking a song to cover to releasing it on RUclips. Direction, editing, concept, arrangement, lighting, costumes, production. The only things they don't do is makeup, cameras and audio mixing.
Also. These guys are all genuine. Ones you want as best friends and hangout with. I call them Goofballs. "Butter" is a great example of that. Watch them in the background.
If you want to know more about them I recommend checking out Huldra Draco channel. She is a huge long time fan and makes various informative videos about them. I learned a lot from them.
The present members are...
Geoff Castellucci - Bass. Founding member. 1997.
Layne Stein - Vocal Percussion/Baritone. Founding member. 1997.
Eli (ellee) Jacobson - Tenor/Rock Tenor. Joined 2010.
Cesar De La Rosa - Baritone/Tenor. Joined 2021.
They do collaborations with various artists for the 5th. So depending on the video is to who is in it. This is easy for them as they live in Orlando Florida. All used to perform at Disney World, Universal Studios or both.
Sorry about the rambling. I tend to do that when I'm telling about something or someone I love so much.
Never apologise for talking about your passions! I love it! Can't wait to fall right down this rabbit hole
@@dj_410
Awesome. Subscribed in anticipation of more Voiceplay and Geoff. And hopefully Pattycake. My favorites on there are...
Bump In The Night.
The Villains Haunted Mansion.
The Villains Lair series. They just released "season 2 episode 4 That's All" a few months ago. Maleficent and The Evil Queen have a nice little argument. Pattycake actors and actresses are extremely talented.
My favorite in the series is season 2 episode 2 with Oogie Boogie. Layne and Tony gave him a whole new song.
On another note...
Meet Buddy in my profile picture. He's a skunk I used to have. He was my baby boy and emotional support animal. I miss him so much. Best pet I ever had. He will never go out of my heart. Skunks are similar to cats except they are hypoallergenic and they eat people food.
Welcome to the rabbit hole that is Geoff Castellucci and subsequently Voiceplay... They have a loyal following and as you can see in the comments, some are nerdy. ( in the nicest way). We love to watch reactors when they first encounter them... We enjoy the look of shock and excitement that Geoff and Voiceplay bring.
There are soon many great videos to go through, all of them brilliant... My personal favourites of Geoff's are Ghost riders in the sky, Ain no sunshine, Shenandoah and pretty much everything else. 😊As for VP... I love the Disney medleys, Tennessey whiskey, The Dragonbirn comes, Hoist the colours, My mother told me, and everything else 😊 am subscribing in anticipation. ❤🇬🇧
Not much else to add here but I'll just add my welcome to the Geoff\Voiceplay rabbit hole. Yes us fans are a passionate lot, and we love watching others experience this for the first time. Can't wait to see more!
I cant wait to see more of his/their stuff! Thanks to all of you for such a warm welcome both to Geoff and to reacting
Yay glad you found the man, the myth, the legend lol.
Him and his acapella group Voiceplay are my all time favorites. I listen to them everyday.
I was genuinely awestruck by him! So so impressive
Looking forward to a lot of Geoff and VoicePlay reactions! I'd love to hear you react to his cover of Ain't No Sunshine. Geoff's wife, Kathy, is his production manager (as she is production manager for VoicePlay) but pretty much everything else was Geoff's work. With VoicePlay, be sure you put Hoist the Colors, In My Room and Nothing Else Matters on your list. These three provide a good range of experiences. They do a lot of different kinds of work, and this trio will give you a bit of perspective.
Awesome! Definitely adding these to the list! I have some other reactions recorded to upload already of other artists but stay tuned for more Geoff in the future for sure!
Hi and welcome to the wondrous world of Geoff Castellucci! He is a master at everything he does! Thank you for the great reaction!
Heeyyy! He really is amazing! Thanks so much! Glad you enjoyed it! :)
I love seeing someone hear Geoff for the first time. Even those of us who have listened to him for ages still get hit by the deep notes and how wide his range is (5 octaves) and an amazing ability to move up and down his range which is really tricky to do.
You aren't the first to compare him to a dragon and his speaking voice is velvet
For a less serious feeling song try the Monster Mash just to give you an idea of his range.
You definitely should try Voiceplay as well which is totally acapella at least virtually all the time anyway.
As others have said a Dragonborn comes (he definitely brings the dragon) and Halo are obvious gamer ones but honestly there are so many epic ones. One thing to keep in mind is they have had changes in their line up over the years and currently they have four members of the group and bring in a guest singer each time to make them up to five. Do for instance for Enermy (from Arcane, League of legends) (listen for Geoff going from low to high) , they bring in Alexa and in their most recent one Nothing Else matters by Metellica (which has broken many reactors) they have J None who is a ex-member who is currently in the armed and many hope will rejoin them when he finished that. They also have done a lot of Disney, most recently a very good version of We don't talk about Bruno.
Thanks for your lovely comment! Super keen to hear everything Geoff and VoicePlay have to offer!
Geoff and his clones. What's better than one Geoff? 4 & 5 Geoffs. It always blows me away how long he can hold the last low notes. VoicePlay is his group. #TheatreKidsOfACappella. Welcome to the Geoff Castellucci & VoicePlay rabbit hole.
Is it possible to be a theatre kid and not love accappella?? I think not 😂😂
@@dj_410Thing is Geoff wasn't a theatre kid growing up.
Enjoyed your reaction. Geoff has a solid 4 octave range not counting sub-harmonics and falsetto.
Thank you so much! Can't wait to experience more!
You've been geoffquaked. Welcome to the rabbit hole of geoff and potentially voiceplay, we have cookies 🤣😈 I've been stuck down here for at least 2 months with no end in sight.
Always love seeing people react to him for the very first time. He truly is amazing, along with voiceplay. It's incredible what they can do with just their voices. I would also agree with others, I think you'd love voiceplays halo theme and the dragonborn comes to get started with them. For geoff, just pick anything you think looks good on his channel and you'll love it honestly. If you like game of thrones, his rains of castamere is amazing. I mean, honestly even if you've never watched that show its still amazing 😂.
Subscribed in hopes of more geoff and voiceplay reactions ❤️
WE HAVE COOKIES!! LOL
More Geoff coming this week!
Honestly at this point he could sing happy birthday or the ABCs and it would be amazing!
The guy is a genuine artist
@@dj_410 awesome, I can't wait! Also if you want to hear what I like to refer to as the "dragon purr" check out voiceplays cover of enemy from imagine dragons, the end note he does will vibrate you from your head to your toes.
Also, geoff's covers of high and dry from radiohead and Blackbird from the Beatles show off his highs and lows really well, so they are definitely a must see! 😁
Totally agree
I've been stuck in the Geoff/Voiceplay rabbit hole for a couple of years now and there truly is NO end in sight :D did you hear Valhalla? I'm obsessed, again :D
"I know he's in a group, I can't remember their name right now..."
_you will_
It's always so much fun to see someone's first time hearing Geoff. He's more than just an amazing vocalist (5 octave range- you still haven't heard him sing high yet!); he arranges all of his own covers, from all the vocal lines to any instrumentation the track includes. He does this for half of VoicePlay's work as well (that's the a cappella group where he sings bass), with the other half being provided by VoicePlay's vocal percussionist, Layne Stein. Layne also co-owns a video production studio called Pattycake Productions, and Geoff shoots quite a few of his videos there. This particular set is known as the Villain's Lair and it features in quite a few Pattycake original videos, as well as yet another Geoff video- his cover of the Halloween classic, The Monster Mash.
Geoff's solo work gained a lot of notice when he released his cover of 16 Tons. It doesn't drop quite as deep as this song does, but it's such a smart, minimal arrangement, and Geoff executes it perfectly. One thing Misty Mountains lacks is any opportunity to display Geoff's remarkable vocal agility, even when he is surprisingly low- you don't really expect a bass to be able to perform runs, but Geoff doesn't listen to nonsense like that, and does it anyway. Other than that, I've got to second others' recommendation for Ain't No Sunshine, which is such a sublime cover, and House of the Rising Sun, which he reinterprets brilliantly.
Omg I know the villains lair! I love their song tough love!!!!
WOW i cant wait to hear him go high! Definitely more Geoff coming in the near future
@@dj_410
Have you watched their unexpected musicals? My favorite remains Michaelificent. I never really thought of Michael Jackson songs as ominous but she pulls it off!
If you want a full range of Geoff’s vocals try ain’t no sunshine when she’s gone or ogy boogy song. Enjoy.
Love it! I haven’t heard anyone say Jeez Louise since my stepdad passed! Thanks for the good memory! Great reaction, and as you already know, there’s lots to listen to with Geoff!!
You’ve just went down the Voiceplay and Geoff Castellucci rabbit hole, you will definitely gain viewers, I subscribed because I seen you were reacting to Geoff, he is fantastic and his group VoicePlay is amazing, they have a variety of genres some rock, some Disney, some pop so have fun! Glad to be here and see the new reactions.
Thank you so much for the Sub! Definitely can't wait to see more of his/their stuff! Will be uploading another of his videos super soon so keep your eyes out :)
OMG BEST AND MOST AUTHENTIC REACTION I'VE EVER WITNESSED!! ALL HAIL TO DJ - COME ALL YE LOVERS OF GEOFF AND WATCH THIS VIDEO!! Let me pull out all the stops and I'll post all my favorite moments. THANK YOU DJ for reacting to my favorite singer ever. You were perfect. You did it full justice and I bow to you sir. I am SO EXCITED TO SEE MORE OF THESE!!
Omg stooopppp *blushing*
You're so so sweet!!!! So glad you enjoyed it and can't wait to react to your other suggestion!!!!
Lmao. Welcome to the geoff castellucci/voiceplay rabbit hole. Do yourself a favor and don't resist. Just let yourself fall. The music is phenomenal. Check out the dragonborn comes from voiceplay. And hoist the colors. Absolutely floored. And my mother told me. Amazing
Cant wait to experience VoicePlay! And more Geoff coming tomorrow!°
Now that I know you've been introduced to HomeFree, Jeoff said that Tim Faust "HomeFree" taught him how to go sub- harmonic without damaging his vocal cords.
First time reaction huh , I’m blessed then cause I’ve seen you melt several times already- just know your rollercoaster is long and your future fulfilling ❤
That reaction you are feelings have been termed GeoffQuakes. We all feel them. Geoff has a near 5 octave range. He shows it off best in his solo songs, but pretty much in all his covers. You seem to like games. Voice play covered The Dragonborn Come, and Enemy, for two.
I think Dragonborn Come will be my 1st VociePlay reaction then then then Halo theme! Very excited for more GeoffQuakes 😂
This is amazing, I will most decidedly agree with you there. Another version of this song is done by Tim Foust and Peter Hollens. Their version is actually a capella...nothing but their voices. They have done many songs together, but in this one, Tim gets to show off his own range including the last note which blows people away. They both go high and low in it. Just in case you wanted to hear another version of this song sung low.
Geoff only started his solo channel during the pandemic lockdown, as a way to help keep busy and make a little extra money because his vocal group VoicePlay wasn't able to do concerts or tour. I believe his first video was Bare Necessities from the Disney movie The Jungle Book. He's been putting out content regularly since then, usually about 1 per month. And he does almost all of the work himself - arranging the song, performing the different vocals, producing, filming, performing (acting), and editing the video (although he uses the same audio mix engineer that many of the big a cappella groups (including VoicePlay) use, Ed Boyer). He gets some help with costuming, makeup, sets, lighting, all using the same facilities and people that VoicePlay uses for many of their videos. His wife Kathy is the production manager for both him and VoicePlay, and keeps things on track - which I imagine, with all of the different personalities involved in VoicePlay, is a lot like herding half-a-dozen cats.
Recommendations: Sixteen Tons, Blackbird, Till Then, Monster Mash
VoicePlay recommendations: The Dragonborn Comes (Skyrim), Halo theme, Enemy feat. AleXa, Nothing Else Matters, I Can't Make You Love Me, Little Mermaid Medley
OMG I LOVE the "Little Mermaid Medley"!! The slide high to low Geoff does in that one is so great.
Adding all these to my list! Sixteen Tons will be out in the next day or so and Dragonborn Comes will be very soon! Thanks for your awesome and insightful comment!
The dwarves represented are, from left to right, Thorin, Fili, and Bofur, with Geoff himself giving beardless Kili vibes. Rick Underwood did the makeup and hair work. You can always look in the descriptions of Geoff's and VoicePlay's videos for a full credits list.
Geoff is the Bass of the group Voiceplay. Please listen to their Cover of „Nothing Else matters“ - this will blow you away.
I've added it to my (now very long) list and look forward to my socks being blown off :D
Wait until you see some of his work with VoicePlay. They are all amazingly talented and so damn entertaining to watch. You will probably love The Dragonborn Comes.
There’s always something special about watching someone fall in love with Geoff and also VoicePlay for the first time.
To experience Geoff's range I recommend his cover of the Beatles Blackbird. It is amazing! For pure fun I recommend his cover of Elvis Presley's Way Down!
Ok. Just a note... Thorin the dwarf King sings this before they lesve to the forest of Erebor , but it is also sung by the Hobbits in the Fellowship movie, when they start out with Strider towards Rivendell. Geoff is beyond talented. The group he sings with is called Voice play and if you want dragon song, listen to their version of "The dragonborn comes" from the soundtrack of Skyrim. They even learn how to sing in Dovahul(witch is Dragon speak, from the game). Epic soundtrack.
Ohh can't wait for that! I plan to film Drangonborn Comes later this week so be sure to subscribe to see my reaction to it 😜
@@dj_410 Already subscribed. Love watching music reactions to Geoff and Voiceplay.
I decided to go back and see your first time hearing Geoff. not disappointed at all. I couldn't stop smiling. your face is very expressive and we love to see that around here ^^ Geoff's voice brings actual pleasure (that can go any direction, really, depending on the person, so I don't mean it in the NSFW sense lol although, it can go that direction too :D ) and I really enjoy seeing other people react to it ^^
Just rewatched this reaction 7 months later and OMG your reaction for the first time ever to Geoff was absolutely hilarious, and brilliant. ❤
I saw your reaction to Voiceplay's Dragonborn and had to subscribe. Now, I'm watching EVERY one of your a cappella reactions. Great work!! I have no idea what you were doing on RUclips before your intro to Geoff, Voiceplay and Home Free but I'm here for this new direction.Check out Voctave- Great movie medley, or Prince of Egypt medley...it's all good.
I loved your reaction to this video and am happy to hear you want to do more videos. Geoff is my favorite singer and VoicePlay is my favorite group. They are all so talented and fun.
Geoff does subharmonic singing to get some of his lower notes. I've watched a tutorial he did on it and still don't understand how he does it!😅
He seems to be a total one of a kind! I think I could study with all the best vocal trainers in the world and still not understand what Geoff does, let alone do it 😂
Thanks so much for your lovely comment
i was introduced to this at christmas, because my aunt was trying to find something else on grandma's tv via youtube.... we figured it out eventually, but she was going with "same guy, multiple parts" and dad volunteered THIS... my favorites are the "sixteen tons" and "little mermaid" (yeah, i've got a soft spot for ursula and the rest of the disney villains... except they don't sing....)
Geoff has a 5 octave range. If you want a dragon voice, listen to VoicePlay - his a cappella group - sing Dragonborn Comes from Skyrim.
Yes! Love Skyrim!! Will definitely be reacting to this soon!!!
Great reaction! You are going to find so much more to enjoy with Geoff. And you are so right about one-trick basses. A family friend was the bass in a choir, and every one went on and on about how good he was - but you couldn't understand a word he was singing when he went low, he was just a low drone. Geoff's control is amazing and so hardwon. I would love to be a fly on the wall when he's practicing!
Omg I agree! Would give my left arm just to sew how this man warms up his voice!
Crazy how time flies. Already at 20k only 1 1/2 years later and well deserved. Good job mate
So enjoyed watching you discover Geoff! We do love our boy! He arranges his music, films, edits, etc himself. He also arranges for his acapella group, VoicePlay, along with the beatboxer (they alternate).
Excellent reaction. Geoff is an incredible singer and sooo entertaining. His channel is loaded with great music as is his a cappella group, VoicePlay. Definitely my favorite a cappella group. Geoff does use some instrumentation in n his solo videos. Hopefully you’ll check out more from Both Geoff and VoicePlay.
Difficulty will be! If you have any suggestions I would love to hear them!
For another Epic song, check out Geoff's Acapella group VoicePlay doing the theme from Skyrim, "The Dragonborn Comes". The group is all in costumes as if they were elves in the video game. Geoff starts it off with low growl, then you get introduced to the beautiful voices of the rest of them.
They feature Omar Cardona on this song, and a few other songs as well. Great reaction!
You got his name right. At least people outside the US know how to say Geoff. (At first I thought Brit but then heard Oz in there). Castellucci is an Italian name and you got it right. Yes this song is from The Hobbit. And Geoff is so right for it. I loved your reaction. He gives us all chills. But he does have different, cheerier, songs. His range is amazing. The a capella group he sings with is VoicePlay. He does have a makeup artist, and someone he refers to as a beard wrangler but just about everything else he does. Although ex member Tony Wakim I believe makes a lot of the costumes for him and VoicePlay. Tony left the group to go behind the camera for Pattycake Produntions, which he and Layne, the beatboxer for VoicePlay, jointly run and own.
So so cool! He is truly incredible and I will be making lots more reactions to him!
That twitch streamer introducing you to Geoff started your love affair with both Geoff and VoicePlay 😂
Great reaction! Several of my favorites have already been listed but I’d like to add his Halloween offering from this year which was Ghost Riders in the Sky. It is an old country standard but was also used as a theme for a show/movie/game (?).
For the group VoicePlay: for drama I would suggest Hoist the Colours from Pirates 3 it Warriors, for fun I would recommend Boy Bands in 5 minutes, and for something totally different Grieg’s Hall of the Mountain King from the Peer Gynt orchestral suite.
Another one that has people shaking their heads right now is the cover of nothing else matters originally covered by Metallica. They don’t like to limit themselves to one genre!
Subscribing in hopes that you’ll follow through on covering Geoff and the band VoicePlay. VoicePlay has been around since Geoff and Layne were in middle school. Geoff graduated high school in 97 when they issued their first album under a different band name. The two of them, along with Earl who had been the high tenor for over 20 years started it all. They have had several personnel changes of mostly it’s been the baritones - they usually last about seven years.
Be sure to always watch until the Patreon roll starts. Sometimes they’ll add a little something extra!
Nothing Else Matters is SO GREAT!!
Thank you so much for the Sub and the suggestions! They have been added to the list but I can confirm that Sixteen Tons will be going up tomorrow night (Sydney time) so keep an eye out for that and I will hopefully be filming Dragonborn Comes by VP later this week! Lots of Geoff and VoicePlay to come!!
Geoff Castellucci and also Voiceplay cover a wide range of songs brilliantly. To get a real idea of his range check out his covers of Blackbird by the Beatles or country song Shenandoah. For some fun try The Headless Horseman or Monster Mash. For Voiceplay try their medley of Queen in 5 Minutes or their cover of Metallica's Nothing Else Matters. Otherwise Geoff and Voiceplay have a lot of fans and we love seeing new people discover them. Great reaction, a lot of fun to watch. Can't wait to see what you choose next
Thanks so much for all these suggestions and the kind words :) I'll definitely add these into the list of future Geoff:)
Misty Mountains - Peter Hollens feat. Tim Foust
Hey there! The algorithm popped you up on my feed because I watch a lot of VoicePlay/Geoff reactions. Loved your first time reaction. Looking forward to you doing more. If you are going to watch more of these, my one piece of advice is to always run the video back 5 or 10 seconds after every pause. The reason is that some of the most interesting stuff happens on a transition, and people tend to pause right at the end of a segment when a transition begins. If you just start the video up again, you sometime miss the most interesting bit because it takes your brain a second to get back up to speed.
Yes! I realised after the fact that I didn't do this but I'm going to try to remember In future reactions:)
Loved the reaction, very enjoyable, thank you! I think everyone has already said everything, so I'll just say welcome to the Geoff/VoicePlay rabbit hole, it runs beautifully and harmoniously deep often with a good sprinkling of humour. Have fun with all the song suggestions and as someone said, we Geoff/VP fans are a passionate bunch who will be there for anything related. Subscribed in anticipation of more! 🙂👍
Thanks so much for the lovely comment and the Sub, more Geoff will be up tomorrow night (Sydney time) and then voiceplay will be soon after! Can't wait!!!!
Best ready yourself for many dragons. 16 Tons is a good starting place. And yes, do go after Voiceplay. They're also big into halloween...Oogie Boogie's song, My Mother Told Me, and We Don't Talk About Bruno...and the others I'd suggest have already been named;
Welcome to the world of Geoff Castellucci. You ain't seen nothing yet. Check out his cover of the Beatles "Blackbird".
Actually, Tim Foust from Home Free has a deeper voice. He blows subwoofers. When I saw them live in Toronto you could feel his low notes through your ass and the seat.
I don't know how I missed this reaction!!! Glad I watched it now. I love seeing when people first discover Geoff!!!! And how great is it that this was your first reaction?? I also wish I was in Australia..I would totally play D&D with you! Chaotic good lol... good intentions, questionable methods. 😝😝😝😝
I missed this reaction of yours nice one! ❤🏴
Amazing! Isn't it....Warriors from VoicePlay is also fantastic! 😊
I love it. Amazing reaction and genuin. I have never heard this song before and it really gave me the chills. Im looking forward for more reaction videos ^_^
Aww thanks so much!!! I really enjoyed making it and can't wait to make more
Another version you might want to try is with Tim Foust of Home Free and Peter Hollens. Geoff's Riders in the Sky is probably my favorite after 16 tons
First one 3 months ago, and now you have over five and a half thousand followers.
:D :D :D
Welcome to the inhuman(alien) ability of Geoff. The group name you were looking for is Voiceplay. There are many great songs to look at. Being a gamer, I would recommend their Halo theme reaction. If you like rock, I recommend their recent Metallica cover of Nothing Else Matters. For more of Geoff alone, try out The House of The Rising Sun(originally by the animals), Ain't No Sunshine(Bill Withers), or Ghost Riders in the Sky(not sure which version he sourced).
A fun note on voiceplay the different members take turns writing arrangements. I know Geoff wrote the Metallica arrangement, not sure on any others.
Omg that is so cool! All of these have now been added to my list of future reactions! Thanks so much for your suggestions!!
Love me some Geoff admiration.. you will love exploring him and his group Voice Play. I will suggest their songs Attention, Eleanor Rigby to add to the other suggestions. They are a bit older and don't get enough love. Subbed ❤️
Thanks so much for the Sub!!!
Will definitely add those suggestions to the list so keep your eyes out for future vids!
good choice for your first dive into a capella, there are 4 or 5 great groups. Geoff and Voiceplay are the theatrical group. if you like video games check out Voiceplay's Dragonborn Comes. they also do a ton of Disney songs
I LOVE Skyrim so I will definitely be reacting to that soon!! Thanks for your comment!
You’ve already been given a lot of good information. I’ll add that - as good as Geoff’s voice is - it is well matched by the talents of the other members of VoicePlay and their featured artists. They often defy categorization. For example, one listed as baritone may sing the highest note, as in Dream On.
A little tidbit about the set: This was filmed at Pattycake Studios, owned by Layne Stein (VoicePlay’s beatboxer) and Tony Wakim, VoicePlay’s former baritone. This is their Villians Lair series set, and the finish painting on it was done by the set designer that did much of the work on Hogwarts Castle at Universal. You’ll see more of this set if you react to Dragonborn Comes/Skyrim by VoicePlay.
Omg I'm currently streaming Hogwars Legacy so it's such a cool little fact that the set designer from the hogwars movie made this set! Can't wait to see it more in future vids
@@dj_410 It’s not the movie set. It’s the Hogwarts castle at Universal Studios Orlando. But still impressive!
@@Wildecat10 oops haha sorry I ready your comment when I 1st woke up so still shaking off the cobwebs haha
Great reaction. Geoff is truly amazing and he has a 5-6 octave range. Check out the Oogie Boogey Song by VoicePlay to see his range. Welcome to the wonderful world of Acca Pella!! On a side note, VoicePlay has done a cover of Mettalica'a Nothing Else Matters
He is truly incredible and I will definitely be reacting to both of those songs in the future!!
Welcome to the rabbit hole!! RUclips is very good at luring you down a rabbit hole, which leads to another rabbit hole, which leads to yet another rabbit hole and, before you know, it you are not just down a rabbit hole but lost in a complete rabbit warren!! The accappella rabbit hole lead me to the bass singers rabbit hole which lead to a Disney rock/metal covers rabbit hole....... 🤨
A recommended acappella cover, "Hall of the mountain king" by VoicePlay, lead me down the VoicePlay and Geoff Castellucci rabbit hole which lead me to Home Free (one of your reactions to them popped up on my recommended list today, so here I am, a new subscriber!). From the acappella rabbit holes I went down the bass singers rabbit holes and found the Bass Gang. From there I found one of their collaborators, Jonathan Young, and got lead down his rock/metal covers rabbit hole, which lead me to................. It's never ending! 🤣
Anyway, I really enjoyed this reaction to Geoff. I had a similar reaction to him and his bass notes on first hearing (I think it's a common reaction 😉) and will be going through your output catching up on your reactions now. 🙂
You haven't heard anything yet, you seriously need to react to his solo covers of sixteen tons, ain't no Sunshine by Bill withers, and black bird by the Beatles, in order to truly understand his solo talent
And as far as being a member of voiceplay., I highly recommend" dream on","warriors","nothing else matters","hoist the colours", so that you get a full exposure to the talent that is Geoff castellucci. Welcome to acapella. There are three groups, that you should definitely take a listen to., Pentatonix, or PTX as they are known to their fans, has won the Grammy award three times. Home Free, could best be that, as the guys you invite to the barbecue. Highly recommend you listen to"Man of constant sorrow" that is the first step down the rabbit hole of home Free. And just so you know voiceplay has been described as the theater kids of acapella, because of their use of lighting makeup and costume ideas. No matter which one you choose to listen to first enjoy the journey...... trust me it's worth it
I would suggest that you listen to Voiceplay's cover of Dream On by Aerosmith. Geoff(pronounced as jeff) is a member of Voiceplay. They are an amazing A Capella group.
I recommend Geoff's Big Bad John for more mining themed music.
Ghost Riders in the Sky is another epic spectacular by Geoff.
Both of these will astound you, be prepared.
Hi, second video of yours I’ve watched, my first was hoist the colors, and I see you’re a new channel, so I’m gonna start watching all your stuff. I love full-body reactors.
2:21 baby’s first Geoffquake 😂 I see great things for this channel.
4:12 2nd. God, nothing better than watching someone react to the drops. I am SO psyched for THE note. 😁
6:22 3. I see the birth of a Geoff Castellucci fan. Wish I had seen this back when it came out, so I could shake you and scream to watch Voiceplay and the bass gang. On the other hand, I’m thrilled to see you have reactions from them too!
7:46 I see you rubbing your eye. Don’t cry yet, you’re not ready.
8:17 4. And that, my dear, is what we refer to as ‘you’ve been Geoffed’ it’s quite a transcendent experience, and it’s particularly powerful on this particular song. By far my favorite Geoff cover ever.
12:07 Geoff Castellucci actually doesn’t have a super deep speaking voice. It’s deep yeah, but if you want a dragon, commission a voice recording from Corpse Husband.
Also, react to Corpse Husband. He’s also got music, I particularly like ‘White Tee’, but ‘Agoraphobic’ might be more your speed for this channel.
6:55- then comes some violence... to quote the late great gilda... "nevermind"...
Another bass singer you should check out is Tim Faust (and his acapella group Home Free). Also, check out Bass Gang, which is a group just made up of bass singers.
I think my body might crumble if I heard an entire group of bass singers haha but I can't wait for it! Added both groups to my list, let me know any specific songs you suggest
@@dj_410 My favourite Bass Gang covers are Mad World and Centuries, but their lastest, Hooked on a feeling, is also well worth a listen. Each one has a guest artist. Hooked on a feeling features Tim Faust (he's the one in the red jacket). Centuries features Johnathan Young (he has a brownish scarf. Mad World features Elliot Robinson.
I'm not as familiar with Home Free's work, but my favourites are their cover of Ring of Fire, and their cover of Elvira, which heatured the Oakridge Boys.
Last, I know a lot of people will have different opinions on which Voice Play songs you should react to, but it's hard to beat their cover of Oogie Boogie's Song (from Nightmare Before Christmas) even if it is one of their older songs and a couple of the people have left since it was released.
And it’s not just from the movie. It’s also in the book. Tolkien himself wrote the lyrics! Peter Hollens has two covers of it, one by himself and one with Tim Foust, and they have a different subset of the lyrics. Here’s the full 20-minute song: ruclips.net/video/LY0lLcz3Qis/видео.html
You might enjoy Dragonborn Comes Skyrim with all of Geoff's group VoicePlay. Also My Mother Told Me, Oogie Boogie's Song will give you a feeling for his range (5 octaves) as well as the Halo Theme. VoicePlay fans love reactors - we get to watch you be amazed by a group that we love - not only fantastic vocalists but really good people. You will have a lot of us here for Geoff's solos as well as VoicePlay.
So glad to have you all here and can't wait to go all the way down this rabbit hole!!
@@dj_410 I've been there for 16 months and it's a great place to be!
"VoicePlay fans love reactors" -- Completely AGREE 100%!!
Welcome to being broken by Geoff (and hopefully soon by VoicePlay as well). One thing to keep in mind once you do listen to VoicePlay is that they often have guest singers and that their line-up has changed as different people have left. Geoff and Layne are the remaining founding members. Scott Porter was also a founding member and the original beatboxer but he left for Hollywood. You can see him perform in the Halo theme and in Sing. Layne took over as beatboxer after Scott left.
I believe the song was performed in The Hobbit after all the dwarves showed up at Bilbo's home but before they headed out for the adventure the next morning. Thorin Oakenshield was the main singer (heir to the dwarf throne of Misty Mountain). Richard Armitage was great in that role. I agree The Hobbit was not as good as LOtR, I really disliked the Legolas/Tauriel love arc did not occur in the book, in fact, Legolas was not in The Hobbit book.
I can't wait to react to some VoicePlay especially because im a huge halo fan!
Yeah I just felt like it lost something when all the CGI was added, LOTR felt so real and lived in and believable because it was! The Hobbit just felt like another CGI fantasy
@@dj_410 oh, before I forget to add, make sure to watch the videos (especially VoicePlay) all the way to the Patreon list as they often have Easter Eggs at the end...
An interesting fact about this song is that it's the movie adaptation of the original that was much more up beat and ment to be up lifting and was made for the lord of the rings/ hobbit cartoon can't remember the year give it a listen if you get the chance there's a big difference
Very enjoyable reaction! Geoff is super impressive and definitely does fantastic work on these videos. I'd suggest his video of Way Down (Elvis cover and very funny. Watch after the end for a small amusing bit.) If you turn on the closed captioning, Geoff sometimes includes little bits of humour in the captions as well. :)
Omg thats so cool! I'll make sure to turn it on!
Geoff has a whole bunch of great stuff on his channel. Please feel free to react to more. I'd also like to point out that there is another great base singer out there. His name is Tim Foust who also sings with the group Home Free.
Tim also covered this song with Peter Hollens. It's done differently than this version but is just as amazing! Even if you don't react to it, which you should, do yourself a favor and check it out for your own pleasure.
Have a nice day! 😉is
That "Thorin" Geoff in the left is soooo hot 🥵🥵 that beard and hairstyle just look soooo good on him 😍😍
Late getting to this, but: Welcome to the Rabbit Hole, we have carrots 🥕🥕🥕🥕🥕😅😅😅
Glad to be here haha
You may also enjoy Tim Foust and Avi Kaplan.
Geoff has a 5 octave range
The man just said "I'll take all the Octives you have thank you!" 😂😂
By the way! Colm McGuinness, Johnathan Young, and Peyton Young did a cover of this song too! If you like deep voice, it's sure to grace your ears with holiness.
I need you to react to The Wellerman doing Misty Mountains. The Bass Gang is part of it as well. Love your reactions to bass singers.
Welcome to the Geoff Castellucci cavern! You say you're new to reacting to musical content. If I may offer a tip or two: your sound is very uneven, from the very loud opening, your sound drops dramatically when you talk and listen to the content you're reacting to. I only say this because many of us (knowing Geoff's depth of sound) wear headphones or in ear buds, and the wall of sound of your intro music had me tearing out my ear buds.
So far I like your reaction, and I saw from others in the VoicePlay / Geoff community that you now know some more about him, such as he doesn't compete with his group by doing a cappella works on his solo channel.
You will have a lot of content and engagement from our community if you continue to react to Geoff and VoicePlay!!
If you loved this version, you might also enjoy Peter Hollen's arrangement featuring Tim Foust of Home Free.
As much as you enjoyed this, I'd love to see you react to Peter Hollins and Tim Faust's version of this song as well.
Try the Dragonborn Comes and The Oogie Boogie song, both by voice play.
#JOINTHEHERD
Hey DJ,
This is my other channel.
Voiceplay released their new video on patreon a week ago. Its amazing. We'll just say "Geppeto".
Pattycake Productions released their new video on patreon last night. A whole new take on Cinderella.
Don't know yet when these will be on RUclips. Hopefully soon
What a video to choose as your first reaction. Starting off on a low note?
Geoff’s solo work is not a cappella. He has violins and percussion in this one. Others have piano or guitar.
Watch "16 Tons". It's a fun video!
