I know everyone recommends Nothing Else Matters, but if you want Cesar to completely break your heart and turn you into a melancholy mess, I Can't Make You Love Me is sublime.
Yep you definitely need to react to that! I have watched it several times and still cry. Cesar steals the show in that song. Geoff said he even cried when he edited that video because of Cesar
All of Geoff's and VoicewPlay's fans love Kathy for the work she does as project manager. But she's also just charming as hell. As others have said, she appears in Monster Mash, as well.
We don't need lights to see these guys shine! 🙌 This song was even more perfect with the section written by Geoff. ❤ A shout out to César, his voice in this song is very angelic.🥰🥰🥰 And a shout out to Anthony, my second favorite male guest.❤ Yes, the look between Geoff and Kathy at the end is what I call "love on your face"🙌❤❤
Kathy and Geoff started singing together as carol singers in their early days, and then in Disney shows and parks. Alas, Kathy later suffered from hearing loss (Geoff has a beautiful video about it on his channel). So she can't sing anymore, but she is now the production manager for both Geoff and Voiceplay... And she's an invaluably precious resource for them. 🙂 Loved your reaction. Pretty much the same I had first time I watched this video 😁. Thank you for that, and see you next time!
We subscribed because you're doing it right! And you're just very likable. And it doesn't hurt that you're doing VoicePlay and Home Free, both of whom have large and rabid fan bases! 'Tony' is Tony Wakim, a former VP member. He and Layne are partners in Pattycake Productions, where many of their videos are shot. Tony is in earlier videos, has a great baritone voice.
Everybody needs to get them somebody who looks at them the way Kathy and Geoff look at each other ❤ Congratulations on hitting 1K! Well deserved and well earned.
If you want to “meet” Tony, find their video of Phantom Of The Opera. He sings the Phantom’s part. Also: I’ve always said that what makes Geoff so dang delicious is that he looks like a Disney Prince but sounds like a villain.
Congrats from we VoicePlay and Home Free fans. The sign above the Door says VoicePlay Toy Shop in German. The lovely toymaker is Kathy Castellucci ( Geoffs' wife ) building the Perfect Man. Kathy is a tiny little thing only 4’ 10 and 3/4” tall to Geoffs' 5'11". Tony Wakim is a former member of Voiceplay but now partners with Layne in Patty Cake Productions. Kills me the way Geoff looks a Kathy with those bedroom eyes. Just makes you melt.
If you want to really see The Tony Wakim shine, and see the guys when they were So Young check out their version of Phantom of the Opera with Rachel Potter.
Geoff uses Kathy, stationed just off camera, whenever he needs to get "that look." When you see his hair blowing in an invisible breeze, Kathy is on the fan. Apparently helps him maintain mood/focus.
Hi! New subscriber here. Just discovered your channel and went way back to watch all of your VoicePlay reactions. (Going to check all your Geoff reactions later.) Love your sincere emotional reactions all the way. I discovered VoicePlay after Earl left, but before J.None left and Cesar joined. When you mentioned Eli’s fantastic voice, I thought that you’d appreciate their “Little Mermaid Medley”. That’s featuring Rachel Potter, who is a regular guest, and really has the voice of an angel. 🥰🎶 I’m looking forward to your upcoming reactions. 😊👍
What a great reaction! Your enthusiasm is contagious and I was already crazy about them.😊 Do you want to have your mind blown? Anthony’s all of 17 years old! When they did Just Sing at the very beginning of Covid, early 2020, they already wanted him as a collaborator. He would’ve been about 15 at the time which is about the same age as Adriana Arellano was when she sang with them for the first time. Lately it seems that they’ve been trying to catch their collaborators for two pieces plus some minis so I’m hoping we’re going to get to see another one with Anthony as well as the minis that he’s done. He does have his own channel on Spotify by the way and he is a very gifted although not a lot of songs yet. If you want to see them again, just their heads, check out Grim Grinning Ghosts around Halloween. They are portraying the busts that are in the beginning of Disney’s haunted mansion ride. Tony is with them at the time and he has a fantastic voice. When Tony was with them, they did do a fairly short piece from Beauty and the Beast: Be our Guest. But one of my favorites with Tony is Road Trip from when they were on the sing off. One more factoid- it’s funny that Kathy created her perfect man. For over ten years, Geoff and Kathy were working at Universal Studios in the Beetlejuice Rock’n’ Roll Graveyard Revue and Geoff was someone else’s “perfect man”. He played Frankenstein 🧟♂️- and Kathy was his wife.
Tony Wakim is a former member of the group, he was in some of their early RUclips videos like Grim Grinning Ghosts, Cheerleader, Hillbillies vs. Zombies (where they dueled with Home Free) he left the group at the end of 2016, but owns a production company with Layne called Pattycake Productions.
Ooo, I like you! I'm always up for some VoicePlay (and Geoff) reactions! Their channels are my fave music on RUclips. This Golden Hour story makes my heart explode with warm fuzzies. 💓
You are adorable and I love your reactions. This cover is BRILLIANT...and its so cute that Geoff's wife Kathy is playing the toymaker building her perfect man LOL...of course that turns out to be Geoff! Tony is a former member of the group, and now runs Pattycake studios along with Layne, where they film most of their videos. And LOL you called him George again!
Great reaction.. as usual.. Thanks! You will enjoy seeing Kathy a few years ago.. check out the video.. Daddy Sang Bass.. you will see all the guys significant others/families etc at that time. (That was when they had Earl with them .. and check out Voice Play with Mathew Darren .. No Diggety.. one of the first ones I ever played! ). Love you..
VP has the uncanny ability to find the best guest stars. It's like they were original members all along. The complexity of all their songs just blows my mind and it really shows off the background vocals when you listen to the karaoke tracks. I love Kathy getting screen time. As their producer I can't even imagine what she goes through keeping all those guys in line, especially after watching their BTS videos. She and Geoff are so sweet together. She's had cameos in Boy Bands in 5 Minutes with VP and in Monster Mash from Geoff's solo channel. Their storytelling through video is amazing as well. To see more of that go to PattyCake Production (co owned by Layne and former member Tony Walkim) and watch their Villains Lair series. It's so good! Kathy has some parts there as well, including singing. And if you haven't seen Oogie Boogie yet it's time.
Another fun one where Cesar surprises is Dream On. Everyone expected Eli to take the top note, but it is Cesar... Loving your journey. ❤ Hugs from Newfoundland
If you’d like to meet Tony I’d recommend their phantom of the opera video.they did an amazing job with it. Another super fun one, is Just Sing it has a load of people who they’ve collaborated with (Subtitles on! They name everyone) it’s so much fun 💛💛
watch when drop on there youtube it made me smile because the lady is Geoff Castellucci wife Katy which Geoff and her talking about the lost of her hearing which she was a singer too.
@@dj_410 Geoff has a video on his channel about Kathy's hearing loss journey which is really sweet. It's definitely worth checking out😁 (I have no idea if it would make a good reaction or not).
Anthony was originally supposed to have the part Eli ended up singing in Hoist the Colours. But then Covid had a resurgence and Anthony couldn’t fly in. So Jose stepped in and learned the part Eli had originally and Eli learned and recorded the high tenor part. (That’s why Jose doesn’t seem to be as ‘featured’ as most artists are that sing with VoicePlay. While Kathy was filming her parts, Geoff opened a feed for patrons and talked to us. He let us watch Tony and Layne, but not Kathy so we would still be surprised when the video came out on a Patreon. (But we all guessed it was her!). If you want to see all of their families (including children) please put Daddy Sang Bass on your reaction list.
I'd wondered who the other vocalist for HtC would have been! I'm sure Anthony would have done the part justice, but Eli knocked it so far out of the park that I'm glad it turned out the way it did and he got to join them for this one instead.
You are just the cutest. I’m so glad you discovered our Voiceplay boys. Your joy is infectious. Your reaction and review is wonderful. I just subscribed because you share our love of VoicePlay. Welcome to the family.
I just want to say, your videos are always a bright spot in my day, I couldn’t stop smiling through the whole video because you just have such a positive vibe to you that just radiates off of you. So thank you so much for that, it makes my days so much better!! Also, this song is just amazing, I will also be having it on repeat (though it is not on Spotify yet🙃) because it is just so beautiful. Thanks for the amazing reaction as always friend❤
Tony is Tony Wakim, former member of VP and co-owner of Pattycake Productions with Layne. If you wanna see what the group was like with him, watch "Phantom of the Opera." It's from several years ago and was one of their first more theatrical productions. It features Rachael Potter and it's really good. As for this song, well it was amazing, for sure. The story telling was so good in this video! And the vocals were out of this world! P.S. I'll also agree with the comment about watching "I Can't Make You Love Me."
I've heard VoicePlay's and now I'm on to my reactors. You're the first! Congratulations on making 1K. Put Just Sing on your list (make sure you have captions on for everyone so you will know who everyone is and their claim to fame. Anthony Gargiula is in the video, with Geoff saying they haven't had him sing yet, but that they want to. Also all the members from the beginning to the date of this video. When you watch Geoff's Till Then, his eyes follow Kathy wherever she is.
Tony Wakim is an original member, you can hear/see him in videos of about 7 years old. He and Layne co-own Pattycake Productions Studio, so he is still very involved with Voiceplay but behind the scenes!
1,000 subscribers well deserved. Your enthusiasm is infectious. If you want to know who Tony is, watch their Phantom of the Opera video. Also, I hope you don't think I'm weird if I tell you that you look absolutely adorable in your fox onesie.
First of all: Big congratulations on the 1k subs! It is well deserved! Love your honest enthusiasm and adorable demeanor! 2nd: I -so- want to steal that absolutely cute onesie!!! You have 2 subs from my sister and I who loves to see your journey into the Voiceplay rabbithole! ❤😂
Well done! on your subscribers. You deserve it. I didn't know the song and I can't help you on the name either. But this is just gorgeous. I would imagine that Tony is Tony Wakim who used to be a member of VP but left to co-own Pattycake Productions with Layne. He prefers to be behind the camera but did a great job in Phantom of the Opera if you want to see him. This is one that you really shouldn't look away as you miss half the story. :) And yes they make arrangements that tug at the heartstrings. I love your reactions. You share my love for these guys.
Not only do I love these guys for their vocal talent but also the people that help make the videos and all the tiny details that go into ALL of their videos too.
Congratulations on a well deserved 1000 subscribers...! Anthony is big on TikTok I believe (not 100% sure, I'm too old for that app!😅) and the only song he has performed with Voiceplay is their Just Sing from 2020. It MUST be watched with subtitles on because the subtitles explain literally who everyone is and what they have performed with Voiceplay at that point...❤ Kathy is actually really big in their backstage stuff and their organisational stuff (and previously sang with Geoff in the Beetlejuice Review in Orlando). She's an absolute sweetheart and, honestly, their love is one of my favourite things ever. Not necessarily to react to BUT if you wanna see a ton of Geoff/Kathy cuteness I HIGHLY recommend Geoff's video on Hearing Loss...but watch it off camera and possibly with a box of tissues... You're amazing and I hope you keep reacting and enjoying all things Voiceplay...💗
@@dj_410 Also to watch off camera is Our IVF Journey. It's one of the first videos on Geoff's channel. Then react to Daddy Sang Bass from VP. All of the families join the guys on the porch at the end of the song, including Kathy and baby William.
Did you figure out which part was original by Geoff? Cause I wasn't familiar with the song, so it blew me away when I realized he wrote all my favorite lines 😁
First of all!! Congratz to the 1 k subscibers and second of all!!! OMG sucha cute outfit you have on!!! And the third!! OMG they are amazing, sucha sweet and warm song, love it from the start to the end, and their vocals, geeeze.. They are so talented.. This is amazing! Im so damn happy for you! I love these videos and I always looking forward for the next one and on those days you don't do a new one I just re watch the other ones! Thank you sooo much for this! Keep it up hun 🥰❤
Congrats on the 1k! Great song by Voiceplay as per the usual. Also I still recommend The Bass Gang ft. Tim Foust (Home Free) singing Hooked on a Feeling
Huge congrats on the 1k subs! I knew that wouldn't take long, you are a sweetheart! Always excited to see your VP / Geoff reactions, happy you got to this one so fast! I'm personally extremely excited for NEM and Shenandoah 😁
NEM was supposed to be today but then this glorious gem dropped in my lap so it will now be out not tomorrow (which should be the Home Free Butts song) but the next day :)
Oh dear boy...you have such a fun reaction channel. And you have hit my 3 favorite groups...VoicePlay, Home Free and Bass Gang...You should also check out Jonathan Young and Caleb Hyles...especially if you like Disney music...LOL
Their creativity has no limit! They are so amazing! 🤯. Kathy is always fantastic, and she sure made the perfect man, awww! 💕💕 Did you say "the look of love on George's face", or do I need an ear doctor? 🤪 Anthony's voice is awesome! You might wanna check VP's video of Just Sing, it features Anthony a bit. Please turn cc on, to see singers' bios. Keep your VoicePlay/Geoff reactions coming! And congrats on 1k subs!!
Shhhhh maybe they won't notice hahaha I was still waking up when I recorded this and for some reason my brain looks at Geoff and thinks he should be named George hahaha
Congrats to the 1000 subs! 🎉 Thanks for your nice reaction! It’s such a nice video and Kathy and Geoff are adorable 🥰! I love this arrangement! You saw in the credits who did what, but if you’re wondering which part Geoff wrote, it’s the bridge at 10:39 - 12:41 . That’s true understanding of love right there, such beautiful lyrics!! ❤️ Btw, you’ll see Tony in the earlier videos, e.g. in their version of the Phantom of the opera as the phantom.
Omg I didn't know they did phantom!!! That's so cool!!! I mentioned in a video that's been filmed but not uploaded that I wanted to see their phantom so that's awesome!!
Congrats on 1000 subscribers! Well deserved! Love your reactions and emotionals! Such a cute and funny video) Kathy and Geoff are such a sweet couple. The voices, of course, are inimitable! I really liked it, even though I haven't heard this song before.
I loved their version if this song... I think I've heard the song in an advertisement on TV but that's it do this was a great experience of the song for the 1st time:)
I love the video for this. It's such a sweet and imaginative storyline and Geoff and Kathy are such a cute couple - she's a lucky lady! I'd never heard the song until the VoicePlay notification for it came up. I went and had a look at the original while waiting for it - it's a very pretty song but I think Geoff's additions have given it something extra. Well done on the number of subs in such a short time - I only subbed yesterday (I think) and your totals have risen quite a bit since then! I'm really looking forward to seeing more reactions to, in particular, VP, Geoff and Home Free from you. You seem to have a soft spot for bass voices, as I do. If you also have very wide musical tastes, then might I suggest you have a look at the Bass Gang? They are four primarily bass singers, with some of them having a very wide vocal range, that have been and continue to work independently on RUclips but decided to work together as well about a year ago, I think.. They've not even met in person as they are so widely spread out - 2 in different states of America, 1 in Eastern Europe and 1 in Egypt - so as you can imagine getting videos put together is a lengthy process for them, hence not a huge number to watch but all, to my mind, great. A-cappella but a very different style to VP and HF (although they have done a song with Tim Foust of HF.)
I subscribed at your first video and I don't regret it! Love to see your community grow! You deserve it, Sir! 😊 Your reactions are brilliant, you're so expressive and entertaining, and the joy you show is a delight! Here for many more thousands subs! ❤
Welcome, welcome, welcome to the VoicePlay Rabbit Hole!!! There are not enough adjectives in the world to describe the talents in this group!! You commented in a previous video how well the guest singers blend - with so little time in with the group, well sometimes the guest isn’t even WITH the group when they do the video!!! Look at “My Enemy” and “Ding Dong”
Tony used to be VP's Baritone! He's the Phantom in their Phantom of the Opera cover but currently he co-runs Pattycake Productions with Layne. He wanted to do more behind the camera work but he has a beautiful voice as well.
Congratulations on the 1K subscribers. I look forward to seeing your reactions they make me smile all the way through. The Greatest Showman medley and the Wicked Medley are also good ones.
I posted a similar comment on your last video only to realize that this video had dropped but another group that might blow your mind is Pentatonix, they are one of the first a cappella groups of the post 2000s that have received wide acclaim
Yes I love Pentatonix and might react to 1 or 2 of their songs that I haven't heard yet but sadly I've heard alot of their stuff so I can't really do a 1st time reaction to them... they are crazy talented though and I love their version of dance of the sugar plum fairy!
New subscriber here! 👋 Congrats on 1K subs! Man, I expected awesome vocals on this cover but they exceeded my expectations. Those soaring harmonies gave me goosebumps. Had to play it twice. Once to watch and again to savor with my eyes closed. Great reaction by you! 🙌 Voiceplay’s cover of Hoist The Colours is a MUST soon.
Thanks for the great reaction. By the way, where did you get that jacket with the foxes on it? I have a friend with the last name of Fox and would love to get that jacket for her.
I chalk the huge subscriber growth up to two things. First is what I like to call the acapella effect. Reactors that do almost any combination of Pentatonix, Voiceplay, Home Free, Voctave, and The Bass Gang seem to see their videos get a lot of watches. The second factor is entirely you. You're a joy to watch and listen to while you're reacting and I think I can safely say that most of us came here for them but subbed and stayed for YOU. Congrats on the 1K! If you haven't checked their content out yet, both Voctave and The Bass Gang will blow your mind too. Voctave's larger than the rest but their arrangements are just about any choral or acapella kid's dream to be able to sing. If you want a good place to start with them I'd say that their Disney Love Medley with Kirsty from Pentatonix ( ruclips.net/video/zLMeDUBKmBs/видео.html&ab_channel=Voctave ) or their Disney Princess Medley ( ruclips.net/video/aBCukAJwKN0/видео.html&ab_channel=Voctave ) are both amazing. The Bass Gang is a group of 4 low basses from around the world who have decided to come together and show off what a group of amazing basses can do and they often collaborate with some of RUclips's best performers. They just released a cover of Hooked on a Feeling featuring Tim Foust from Home Free ( ruclips.net/video/EhVsGnQmxMU/видео.html&ab_channel=TheBassGang ) that would be an amazing place to start with them. Enjoy another couple of rabbit holes to explore!
VoicePlay is making me like songs from genres I have disliked and ignored, like heavy metal/Metallica. But after watching Nothing Else Matters I dedicated it to my Hubby as I found the emotion and devotion so perfect. I don't know who originally sang Golden Hour, but Anthony has done it on his own and he is a star here.
Well-deserved 1k. When you get 10k, you should do a subscriber special where you watch a patreon poll winning Voiceplay video, with your hands restrained so you can’t pause. ☠️
Was there ever any doubt? Geoff having Italian heritage was the only choice to be the real (boy) man for Kathy.😉 Also the German sign in the beginning says Voice (game) play. Nice reaction.
Hey boss, just wanting to let you know you put the wrong link in the description for the original video. You put the link to the HALO theme lol This Anthony guy, never heard of him before but DAMN is he good haha
Really enjoy your honest reactions. Just a thought - it would be great if you could turn the sound up on the music as your mic volume is so much louder so it means we have to have the music soft or you too loud. ❤
While not as adorable as Geoff and Kathy this is not the first time vp put heads on pedestals. They did it last year in hide and seek ft Lauren paley recreating Disney's Haunted Mansion
I love Voiceplay to pieces, but if you want a group that takes the place of the whole orchestra, I've gotta suggest Voctave. They're a slightly larger group with incredibly simple videos, but their vocals and arrangments are wonderful. They do quite a bit of Disney covers and medlies, but they do other stuff too. Being a fan of John Williams' work as well, I highly recommend their Great Movie Medley. ruclips.net/video/PVKa1LEFPas/видео.html
Some Pentatonix will be coming soon but I have heard alot of their stuff so there are only a few I can give honest blind reasons to... maybe at Xmas time when I can do the Xmas album they released:D
I've seen somewhere on on of their videos' comments that Geoff looks like a Disney Prince but sounds like a Disney Villain. And it's absolutely true
I know everyone recommends Nothing Else Matters, but if you want Cesar to completely break your heart and turn you into a melancholy mess, I Can't Make You Love Me is sublime.
I love that song so very very keen!
Truly, it's a heartbreaker.
Have tissues as hand, trust me!!
Yep you definitely need to react to that! I have watched it several times and still cry. Cesar steals the show in that song. Geoff said he even cried when he edited that video because of Cesar
Forgot to mention....
No beatboxing. Layne sings solo twice.
It’s okay to admit you have a crush on Geoff, man. So do all of us. 😅
All of Geoff's and VoicewPlay's fans love Kathy for the work she does as project manager. But she's also just charming as hell. As others have said, she appears in Monster Mash, as well.
Can you imagine?... Geoff, Layne, and Scott Porter (who guests on Halo) were all in the same middle school choir. What are the odds?
We don't need lights to see these guys shine! 🙌
This song was even more perfect with the section written by Geoff. ❤ A shout out to César, his voice in this song is very angelic.🥰🥰🥰 And a shout out to Anthony, my second favorite male guest.❤ Yes, the look between Geoff and Kathy at the end is what I call "love on your face"🙌❤❤
Kathy and Geoff started singing together as carol singers in their early days, and then in Disney shows and parks. Alas, Kathy later suffered from hearing loss (Geoff has a beautiful video about it on his channel). So she can't sing anymore, but she is now the production manager for both Geoff and Voiceplay... And she's an invaluably precious resource for them. 🙂
Loved your reaction. Pretty much the same I had first time I watched this video 😁. Thank you for that, and see you next time!
Aww it's so beautiful that they have been together through all that! Thank you for your support and your lovely comment!!

Everybody needs to get them somebody who looks at them the way Kathy and Geoff look at each other ❤ Congratulations on hitting 1K! Well deserved and well earned.
100% agree! That is a look of true love!!! Thanks so much!! :D
If you want to “meet” Tony, find their video of Phantom Of The Opera. He sings the Phantom’s part.
Also: I’ve always said that what makes Geoff so dang delicious is that he looks like a Disney Prince but sounds like a villain.
Or, at times, a Disney Princess. 😂
Check out their cover of “Just Sing” and don’t forget to turn on subtitles! Anthony G. makes a brief appearance in that one
This one is very high on my list for future... just got 1 or 2 things to put out 1st :P the people are owed a Nothing Else Matters reaction haha
@@dj_410 Anthony is also on a few of their 'Minis'. I especially like him on A-ha's 'Take Me On'! It's so nice that they were all able to collaborate!
The best subtitle on that would be one obviously from Geoff in reference to Tim dropping some deep notes.
Congrats from we VoicePlay and Home Free fans. The sign above the Door says VoicePlay Toy Shop in German. The lovely toymaker is Kathy Castellucci ( Geoffs' wife ) building the Perfect Man. Kathy is a tiny little thing only 4’ 10 and 3/4” tall to Geoffs' 5'11". Tony Wakim is a former member of Voiceplay but now partners with Layne in Patty Cake Productions. Kills me the way Geoff looks a Kathy with those bedroom eyes. Just makes you melt.
Thanks so so much :D love those little details in their vids! So amazing
If you want to really see The Tony Wakim shine, and see the guys when they were So Young check out their version of Phantom of the Opera with Rachel Potter.
@@dianeschluter9995 he is doing this one tonight/later/in 9 hours 😁 it won his Patreon poll this week!
Geoff uses Kathy, stationed just off camera, whenever he needs to get "that look." When you see his hair blowing in an invisible breeze, Kathy is on the fan. Apparently helps him maintain mood/focus.
Aww thats so sweet! She is his muse 🥰🥰
Hi! New subscriber here. Just discovered your channel and went way back to watch all of your VoicePlay reactions. (Going to check all your Geoff reactions later.) Love your sincere emotional reactions all the way. I discovered VoicePlay after Earl left, but before J.None left and Cesar joined. When you mentioned Eli’s fantastic voice, I thought that you’d appreciate their “Little Mermaid Medley”. That’s featuring Rachel Potter, who is a regular guest, and really has the voice of an angel. 🥰🎶
I’m looking forward to your upcoming reactions. 😊👍
Here three weeks after the video is posted: sub count is 3.57K now. I had no idea the channel was growing this fast! Congrats!
What a great reaction! Your enthusiasm is contagious and I was already crazy about them.😊
Do you want to have your mind blown? Anthony’s all of 17 years old! When they did Just Sing at the very beginning of Covid, early 2020, they already wanted him as a collaborator. He would’ve been about 15 at the time which is about the same age as Adriana Arellano was when she sang with them for the first time.

When Tony was with them, they did do a fairly short piece from Beauty and the Beast: Be our Guest. But one of my favorites with Tony is Road Trip from when they were on the sing off.

Of course his look of love was pure that’s Geoff’s wife
17:17 Kathy also appears in Geoff’s cover of monster mash, which you’d better react to in October if you do t get to it sooner.
The first time I heard this i was driving around paying bills and fell in love with it. Played it for my husband and he really liked it ..
Tony Wakim is a former member of the group, he was in some of their early RUclips videos like Grim Grinning Ghosts, Cheerleader, Hillbillies vs. Zombies (where they dueled with Home Free) he left the group at the end of 2016, but owns a production company with Layne called Pattycake Productions.
I have heard this a dozen times and Anthony hitting the high note still gives me goosebumps and a shiver.

I forgot about this one dropping hahaha but that will be out not tomorrow but the next day hahahaa
watch when drop on there youtube it made me smile because the lady is Geoff Castellucci wife Katy which Geoff and her talking about the lost of her hearing which she was a singer too.
I so so wish I could but I need to pause the video for the reactions and I always want my reactions to be my 1st watch & blind reaction
Thats so sad about his wife's hearing tho 😢
@@dj_410 Geoff has a video on his channel about Kathy's hearing loss journey which is really sweet. It's definitely worth checking out😁 (I have no idea if it would make a good reaction or not).
This may stay my favorite just because of that last shot. It is so, so sweet and romantic!
Honestly... who doesn't want someone to look at them the way Geoff looks at Kathy
Anthony was originally supposed to have the part Eli ended up singing in Hoist the Colours. But then Covid had a resurgence and Anthony couldn’t fly in. So Jose stepped in and learned the part Eli had originally and Eli learned and recorded the high tenor part. (That’s why Jose doesn’t seem to be as ‘featured’ as most artists are that sing with VoicePlay.
While Kathy was filming her parts, Geoff opened a feed for patrons and talked to us. He let us watch Tony and Layne, but not Kathy so we would still be surprised when the video came out on a Patreon. (But we all guessed it was her!). If you want to see all of their families (including children) please put Daddy Sang Bass on your reaction list.
I'd wondered who the other vocalist for HtC would have been! I'm sure Anthony would have done the part justice, but Eli knocked it so far out of the park that I'm glad it turned out the way it did and he got to join them for this one instead.
Definitely added to the list! Can't wait to see their beautiful families
You are just the cutest. I’m so glad you discovered our Voiceplay boys. Your joy is infectious. Your reaction and review is wonderful. I just subscribed because you share our love of VoicePlay. Welcome to the family.
I just want to say, your videos are always a bright spot in my day, I couldn’t stop smiling through the whole video because you just have such a positive vibe to you that just radiates off of you. So thank you so much for that, it makes my days so much better!! Also, this song is just amazing, I will also be having it on repeat (though it is not on Spotify yet🙃) because it is just so beautiful. Thanks for the amazing reaction as always friend❤
Thank you for another lovely comment Grace! I'm glad I could bring some joy to your day:D
@@dj_410 You’re welcome DJ!!😄❤️
Tony is Tony Wakim, former member of VP and co-owner of Pattycake Productions with Layne. If you wanna see what the group was like with him, watch "Phantom of the Opera." It's from several years ago and was one of their first more theatrical productions. It features Rachael Potter and it's really good.
As for this song, well it was amazing, for sure. The story telling was so good in this video! And the vocals were out of this world!
P.S. I'll also agree with the comment about watching "I Can't Make You Love Me."
Definitely adding it to the list! Can't wait to see what they do with such an amazing song!
I've heard VoicePlay's and now I'm on to my reactors. You're the first! Congratulations on making 1K. Put Just Sing on your list (make sure you have captions on for everyone so you will know who everyone is and their claim to fame. Anthony Gargiula is in the video, with Geoff saying they haven't had him sing yet, but that they want to. Also all the members from the beginning to the date of this video. When you watch Geoff's Till Then, his eyes follow Kathy wherever she is.
Thanks so much! I hope you enjoy the vid and check out my others!
Congrats on the 1K! Your enthusiasm for these videos is why that number is only going to go up.
Thanks so much! I really appreciate the support and you lovely comment :😀
Tony Wakim is an original member, you can hear/see him in videos of about 7 years old. He and Layne co-own Pattycake Productions Studio, so he is still very involved with Voiceplay but behind the scenes!
Not an original member, but he was with VoicePlay when they first started uploading videos to RUclips.
Oh my gosh! Yes! He has been mentioned to me before but I forgot! Thanks so much for the info :D
1,000 subscribers well deserved. Your enthusiasm is infectious.
If you want to know who Tony is, watch their Phantom of the Opera video.
Also, I hope you don't think I'm weird if I tell you that you look absolutely adorable in your fox onesie.
Awww thank you!
Not weird at all, your comment is super sweet!! Thanks so much!!!
First of all: Big congratulations on the 1k subs! It is well deserved! Love your honest enthusiasm and adorable demeanor!
2nd: I -so- want to steal that absolutely cute onesie!!!
You have 2 subs from my sister and I who loves to see your journey into the Voiceplay rabbithole! ❤😂
Well done! on your subscribers. You deserve it. I didn't know the song and I can't help you on the name either. But this is just gorgeous. I would imagine that Tony is Tony Wakim who used to be a member of VP but left to co-own Pattycake Productions with Layne. He prefers to be behind the camera but did a great job in Phantom of the Opera if you want to see him. This is one that you really shouldn't look away as you miss half the story. :) And yes they make arrangements that tug at the heartstrings. I love your reactions. You share my love for these guys.
I'm so so glad you are enjoying my reactions! Thanks so much for your sweet comment
Not only do I love these guys for their vocal talent but also the people that help make the videos and all the tiny details that go into ALL of their videos too.
Congratulations on a well deserved 1000 subscribers...!
Anthony is big on TikTok I believe (not 100% sure, I'm too old for that app!😅) and the only song he has performed with Voiceplay is their Just Sing from 2020. It MUST be watched with subtitles on because the subtitles explain literally who everyone is and what they have performed with Voiceplay at that point...❤
Kathy is actually really big in their backstage stuff and their organisational stuff (and previously sang with Geoff in the Beetlejuice Review in Orlando). She's an absolute sweetheart and, honestly, their love is one of my favourite things ever. Not necessarily to react to BUT if you wanna see a ton of Geoff/Kathy cuteness I HIGHLY recommend Geoff's video on Hearing Loss...but watch it off camera and possibly with a box of tissues...
You're amazing and I hope you keep reacting and enjoying all things Voiceplay...💗
Thank you for your lovely comment!
Geoff and Kathy are just too cute 😍
Honestly couple goals!
I'll definitely check that video out 😀
Anthony has done a short with them, Take Me On, the Aha song
@@dj_410 Also to watch off camera is Our IVF Journey. It's one of the first videos on Geoff's channel. Then react to Daddy Sang Bass from VP. All of the families join the guys on the porch at the end of the song, including Kathy and baby William.
So glad you reacted to this one so quickly! 😊 Lol, love your Beauty and the Beast reference for the ending! 💜💜💜
It would have been sooner if it wasn't for the time difference haha the song dropped at 3 am my time 😭
Did you figure out which part was original by Geoff? Cause I wasn't familiar with the song, so it blew me away when I realized he wrote all my favorite lines 😁
No! I'm not super familiar with it either!!! Gonna have to listen to the original now to be blown away!!
First of all!! Congratz to the 1 k subscibers and second of all!!! OMG sucha cute outfit you have on!!! And the third!! OMG they are amazing, sucha sweet and warm song, love it from the start to the end, and their vocals, geeeze.. They are so talented.. This is amazing! Im so damn happy for you! I love these videos and I always looking forward for the next one and on those days you don't do a new one I just re watch the other ones! Thank you sooo much for this! Keep it up hun 🥰❤
Awwww you are too amazing! I love how much you enjoy my vids 🥰🥰
Couldn't have done all this without your support so thank you so so much !!!!!
@@dj_410 Aww, you are to sweet! 🥰
The a cappella community will flock to your channel! Keep doing what you're doing!!
Perfection from start to finish! And that ending... 😍❤️
Such a beautiful song, arrangement and video!!
Congrats on the 1k! Great song by Voiceplay as per the usual. Also I still recommend The Bass Gang ft. Tim Foust (Home Free) singing Hooked on a Feeling
Thanks so much for the suggestion! I want to do some bassgang really soon!
Huge congrats on the 1k subs! I knew that wouldn't take long, you are a sweetheart! Always excited to see your VP / Geoff reactions, happy you got to this one so fast! I'm personally extremely excited for NEM and Shenandoah 😁
NEM was supposed to be today but then this glorious gem dropped in my lap so it will now be out not tomorrow (which should be the Home Free Butts song) but the next day :)
geoff did a cover of 'sound of silence'
I have reacted to this one and loved it but the sound quality on my computer was AWEFUL for some reason 💔😭 all fixed now thankfully
Oh dear boy...you have such a fun reaction channel. And you have hit my 3 favorite groups...VoicePlay, Home Free and Bass Gang...You should also check out Jonathan Young and Caleb Hyles...especially if you like Disney music...LOL
Congratulations on 1k subs! I knew it wouldn't take long 🤗 I'm glad you enjoyed this, the song and video both just give me the warm and fuzzies 💜
Thank you so so much! I'm shocked at how the channel has grown :D this was such a awesome song!
Their creativity has no limit! They are so amazing! 🤯. Kathy is always fantastic, and she sure made the perfect man, awww! 💕💕
Did you say "the look of love on George's face", or do I need an ear doctor? 🤪
Anthony's voice is awesome! You might wanna check VP's video of Just Sing, it features Anthony a bit. Please turn cc on, to see singers' bios.
Keep your VoicePlay/Geoff reactions coming! And congrats on 1k subs!!
Shhhhh maybe they won't notice hahaha I was still waking up when I recorded this and for some reason my brain looks at Geoff and thinks he should be named George hahaha
Congrats to the 1000 subs! 🎉
Thanks for your nice reaction! It’s such a nice video and Kathy and Geoff are adorable 🥰! I love this arrangement! You saw in the credits who did what, but if you’re wondering which part Geoff wrote, it’s the bridge at 10:39 - 12:41 . That’s true understanding of love right there, such beautiful lyrics!! ❤️
Btw, you’ll see Tony in the earlier videos, e.g. in their version of the Phantom of the opera as the phantom.
Omg I didn't know they did phantom!!! That's so cool!!! I mentioned in a video that's been filmed but not uploaded that I wanted to see their phantom so that's awesome!!
Congrats on 1000 subscribers! Well deserved! Love your reactions and emotionals! Such a cute and funny video) Kathy and Geoff are such a sweet couple. The voices, of course, are inimitable! I really liked it, even though I haven't heard this song before.
I loved their version if this song... I think I've heard the song in an advertisement on TV but that's it do this was a great experience of the song for the 1st time:)
I love the video for this. It's such a sweet and imaginative storyline and Geoff and Kathy are such a cute couple - she's a lucky lady! I'd never heard the song until the VoicePlay notification for it came up. I went and had a look at the original while waiting for it - it's a very pretty song but I think Geoff's additions have given it something extra.
Well done on the number of subs in such a short time - I only subbed yesterday (I think) and your totals have risen quite a bit since then! I'm really looking forward to seeing more reactions to, in particular, VP, Geoff and Home Free from you.
You seem to have a soft spot for bass voices, as I do. If you also have very wide musical tastes, then might I suggest you have a look at the Bass Gang? They are four primarily bass singers, with some of them having a very wide vocal range, that have been and continue to work independently on RUclips but decided to work together as well about a year ago, I think.. They've not even met in person as they are so widely spread out - 2 in different states of America, 1 in Eastern Europe and 1 in Egypt - so as you can imagine getting videos put together is a lengthy process for them, hence not a huge number to watch but all, to my mind, great. A-cappella but a very different style to VP and HF (although they have done a song with Tim Foust of HF.)
I subscribed at your first video and I don't regret it! Love to see your community grow! You deserve it, Sir! 😊 Your reactions are brilliant, you're so expressive and entertaining, and the joy you show is a delight! Here for many more thousands subs! ❤
Awww thank you so much! That's so sweet :D so glad to have you here
Congrats on 1k subscribers, well deserved! Thanks you for all your great reactions so far!
Thank you for all your support and for watching! :D
Welcome, welcome, welcome to the VoicePlay Rabbit Hole!!! There are not enough adjectives in the world to describe the talents in this group!! You commented in a previous video how well the guest singers blend - with so little time in with the group, well sometimes the guest isn’t even WITH the group when they do the video!!! Look at “My Enemy” and “Ding Dong”
Congratulations on reaching 1000 subscribers!!! Well done! 🎉🎉🎉
Thank you so much!! 🥳🥳🥳
Tony used to be VP's Baritone! He's the Phantom in their Phantom of the Opera cover but currently he co-runs Pattycake Productions with Layne. He wanted to do more behind the camera work but he has a beautiful voice as well.
Congratulations on the 1K subscribers. I look forward to seeing your reactions they make me smile all the way through. The Greatest Showman medley and the Wicked Medley are also good ones.
:O these need to go on my list!!! I love both of those musicals so so much
I posted a similar comment on your last video only to realize that this video had dropped but another group that might blow your mind is Pentatonix, they are one of the first a cappella groups of the post 2000s that have received wide acclaim
Yes I love Pentatonix and might react to 1 or 2 of their songs that I haven't heard yet but sadly I've heard alot of their stuff so I can't really do a 1st time reaction to them... they are crazy talented though and I love their version of dance of the sugar plum fairy!
Congratulations!! 🎉🎉
Thank you!! 🥳
Rewatching and realized you did a robotnic. "I did not expect that, but i expected you to do something unexpected so it doesn't count."
Excellent-already 1k subs! You’re on your way with these great reactions!
Thanks so much! I'm blown away by the support :D
If you want to see who Tony is, you might have a good laugh with their video "Road trip".
What a great reaction! Congrats on the 1K!
I'm so in awe!
😍
Thanks so much!!! You are so sweet! :D
New subscriber here! 👋 Congrats on 1K subs! Man, I expected awesome vocals on this cover but they exceeded my expectations. Those soaring harmonies gave me goosebumps. Had to play it twice. Once to watch and again to savor with my eyes closed. Great reaction by you! 🙌 Voiceplay’s cover of Hoist The Colours is a MUST soon.
Thanks for the great reaction. By the way, where did you get that jacket with the foxes on it? I have a friend with the last name of Fox and would love to get that jacket for her.
It's from an Aussie store called JayJays, it's an oodie style jumper haha
Grats on the 1k! Enjoyed the reaction. I wasn't a fan of the original, but really like what VP did with it and the storyline is just beautiful.
At this point I don't think they can put out a bad video 😂 so keen to see what they do in the future :D
Awesome reaction DJ.
You can definitely tell they are deeply in love. Soulmates.
By the way. I love your onsie. You look so adorable in it.
Awww thank you!
Yes! Pure love like that is a rare and beautiful thing :)
@@dj_410
Yes it is.
And you're very welcome 🙂
I love your enthusiasm, matches my own when I listen to these guys?❤
I chalk the huge subscriber growth up to two things. First is what I like to call the acapella effect. Reactors that do almost any combination of Pentatonix, Voiceplay, Home Free, Voctave, and The Bass Gang seem to see their videos get a lot of watches. The second factor is entirely you. You're a joy to watch and listen to while you're reacting and I think I can safely say that most of us came here for them but subbed and stayed for YOU. Congrats on the 1K!
If you haven't checked their content out yet, both Voctave and The Bass Gang will blow your mind too. Voctave's larger than the rest but their arrangements are just about any choral or acapella kid's dream to be able to sing. If you want a good place to start with them I'd say that their Disney Love Medley with Kirsty from Pentatonix ( ruclips.net/video/zLMeDUBKmBs/видео.html&ab_channel=Voctave ) or their Disney Princess Medley ( ruclips.net/video/aBCukAJwKN0/видео.html&ab_channel=Voctave ) are both amazing. The Bass Gang is a group of 4 low basses from around the world who have decided to come together and show off what a group of amazing basses can do and they often collaborate with some of RUclips's best performers. They just released a cover of Hooked on a Feeling featuring Tim Foust from Home Free ( ruclips.net/video/EhVsGnQmxMU/видео.html&ab_channel=TheBassGang ) that would be an amazing place to start with them. Enjoy another couple of rabbit holes to explore!
Cesar takes centre stage in I can’t make you love me you really need to check it out ❤🏴
VoicePlay is making me like songs from genres I have disliked and ignored, like heavy metal/Metallica. But after watching Nothing Else Matters I dedicated it to my Hubby as I found the emotion and devotion so perfect. I don't know who originally sang Golden Hour, but Anthony has done it on his own and he is a star here.
Congrats on your 1K!! Love your reaction!!
Hi I’m a new subscriber! Loved your reaction. Can’t wait to see more. How ridiculously good is Voiceplay?!
Well-deserved 1k. When you get 10k, you should do a subscriber special where you watch a patreon poll winning Voiceplay video, with your hands restrained so you can’t pause. ☠️
Was there ever any doubt? Geoff having Italian heritage was the only choice to be the real (boy) man for Kathy.😉
Also the German sign in the beginning says Voice (game) play. Nice reaction.
As of when I am watching this, you are closing in on 6k
Hey boss, just wanting to let you know you put the wrong link in the description for the original video. You put the link to the HALO theme lol
This Anthony guy, never heard of him before but DAMN is he good haha
Oh my gosh what a fool I am haha, thank you so much for pointing that out to me! Should be all fixed now! 😀
Really enjoy your honest reactions. Just a thought - it would be great if you could turn the sound up on the music as your mic volume is so much louder so it means we have to have the music soft or you too loud. ❤
Seriously, please watch "I Can't Make You Love Me". Caesar will make you cry.
For some other healthy relationship vibes, watch Home Free "I Swear" or "Remember This" :D
"Golden Hour" is sung by "Jvke".
I know others have probably said this already, but I'll add my voice. Check out Geoff's cover of Walt Disney's The Headless Horseman.
While not as adorable as Geoff and Kathy this is not the first time vp put heads on pedestals.
They did it last year in hide and seek ft Lauren paley recreating Disney's Haunted Mansion
Ohh thats cool! Definitely added to the list to check out :)
Also in Headless Horseman. And they were busts in Grim Grinning Ghosts.
I love Voiceplay to pieces, but if you want a group that takes the place of the whole orchestra, I've gotta suggest Voctave. They're a slightly larger group with incredibly simple videos, but their vocals and arrangments are wonderful. They do quite a bit of Disney covers and medlies, but they do other stuff too. Being a fan of John Williams' work as well, I highly recommend their Great Movie Medley. ruclips.net/video/PVKa1LEFPas/видео.html
Thanks for the suggestion! I'll definitely look into them for a future video!
you should react to pentatonix
Some Pentatonix will be coming soon but I have heard alot of their stuff so there are only a few I can give honest blind reasons to... maybe at Xmas time when I can do the Xmas album they released:D
If you want a great video with Tony in it try their original video "Road Trip". It's funny and not a cover.
I think you are goid, but your breaks last to long and you are not saying anything new.
Thanks for your feedback and for watching 🙂
Love your reactions, genuine and complimentary. All I have to say is stay yourself!
