@@patrickpredella I checked your last upload just to have a listen. Your use of subharmonics is very impressive. I don't know how long you've been practicing the technique but it does sound like you've got a good start on it.

Dude you literally gave me more than an extra octave to use with your videos. I cannot express how thankful I am. I went from barely hitting an E2 to hitting a C2 chest voice and an A0 subharmonic at 15 thanks to you. Thank you my guy!
Geoff: I don't know WHY Sixteen Tons blew up like that... Also Geoff: Insane vocals + arms on display + literal earth-shaking visuals as tools are pounded "No idea" lol
With that I love the look on Elizabeth's face right after Geoff says he doesn't think of himself as necessarily desirable. Probably the clearest "dude, really?" expression I've ever seen
The first time I ever heard "16 Tons" was when Jim Neighbors sang it and the Hillsdale Fairgrounds in Hillsdale Michigan. At the end of that he sang "You load 16 tons and what to you get, a hernier."
I'm so glad the "music side of RUclips" is so much less cringey than others, I've seen enough corpse fans going Corpse voice : *insert black/violent emotes* Corpse personality : *insert happy/loving emotes* that I had to leave that fandom. I agree with what they say but seeing hundreds of the exact same comments being spammed everywhere corpse related and people in the replies going OH wOW I Love HiM has taken a big toll on my mental
@@wongcayven9893 it's kinda like dream, I like dream, corpse is a mood and fuckin hilarious, but there's a line and their fans crossed it. It's always the faceless ones, they just wanna be left alone man
Elizabeth Zharoff, first of her name, siren of operatic fury, slayer of wrong notes, envy of gamers, oracle of of theory and structure, teacher of singers, slayer of noobs, unbound by genre, unfettered in range, unhindered by stage fright, Elizabeth the unconquered....
No one gonna talk about him talking about his tea at the beginning😂😂 that was such a sweet moment. The fact that he said what color it was, and he feels very fancy. Hope that makes sense to anyone else
Geoff doesn't see himself as super desirable. I watch his Country Roads and just melt,. Every time. And I'm no giiddy teen; l I'm now 77 yrs old but what has age got to do with anything,
She's such a genuinely talented interviewer, which is a surprisingly rare thing. And Geoff seems like a great interviewee. He's so satisfying to listen to, almost regardless of what he's saying, and then he has such interesting things to say too!
Elizabeth, you are killing it. You are one of only a handful that are putting so much effort into delivering top quality content. You should have your own late night talk show. Cheers from Aus
@@TheCharismaticVoice You are definitively much better at it than some of those that do this for a living. ;) Once again, you manage to bring out the best of the the interviewee.
You wanna know why "Sixteen Tons" was so well received, being it so simple? Well... BECAUSE IT'S SIMPLE. It's a beautiful song, and as in many other fields, it's the perfect example of "Less is better" :-) . Thank you for this interview, both of you. I just LOVED it. :-) And Geoff...You're just great. :-) (And you'd make a great Caiaphas in JCS ;-) , which is the "character" that made me love bass...)
I love that this was a conversation more than an interview. At one point you'd think Geoff was the host with the questions he had, which is awesome. Came off as a very genuine conversation between two people who share a passion. Excellent job.
I'm still always stunned when Geoff hits those amazing low notes. It's especially stunning when he's singing a low note where you don't think he could possibly go any lower, and then suddenly the floor drops out and he lowers it by an entire octave. Absolutely amazing...and it works really well. I find ultra low bass extremely relaxing.
It might take a small miracle, but an interview with Adam Rupp would be the most interesting thing in the world. Loved this one as well, Geoff is dope!
Thanks for the shout-out Geoff! And what a great interview. The Mykal Kilgore connection was 🤯 Great channel / content Elizabeth. You've got 6 new fans ❤💕
I really want to hear Geoff sing Ghost Riders in the Sky, either as a solo project or with VoicePlay. There's been a lot of really great covers of that song over the years (I think Burl Ives was the first to record it). My favorite might actually be Mary McCaslin. I like the fact that it's acoustic and I think her version has a really great atmosphere for that song. If Geoff tried his hand at it, I'm sure he won't disappoint.
@@EarlJohn61 Perhaps, but Home Free already has a fantastic bass. Perhaps it could be a group with Geoff, Avi Kaplan, Tim Faust and one or both of those new basses I can't remember the names of. (I'm really bad with names. It took me a long time to remember the other guy's names.)
Geoff seems so laid back and very humble. The perfect person for Elizabeth to interview, as she is also humble and I love her bubbly personality. She should definitely have her own chat show, as she always has such good questions and clearly knows her craft.👏🏻😄❤️
I personally wish people wouldn't get so damn hung up on the idea of people being humble. There's nothing all that special or unique about it. He's just being a person, it's not some stand out quality.
As others have said, that final note Geoff hits at the end is the main reason the song blew up; it's the cherry on top if the awesome sundae that is VoicePlay's cover of Oogie Boogie's Song
I've been obsessed with Geoff and a few Voiceplay songs these last like 5 months. I have never had any actual singing practice but it's fun to try to hit those low notes as impressions. Trying to get better and better at the subharmonic/vocal fry technique.
Hey, hope you see this but its been two years. How are you holding up? I started singing back then, had a few breaks but its been a rad journey. Hope it's going well for you as well
Well, Geoff did say they were going to do a video featuring a female singer... But we hear Elizabeth talking a lot, but never heard her actually sing. Would be nice to have a video of her showing what she can do.
What a genuinely nice , modest man with immense talents....that was a complete pleasure to watch and now I want to re-watch to see what I missed , thank you Ms. Zharoff
You can tell from a mile away that she is gleaming with joy. She is blushing and glowing at the same time. Thanks for bringing Mr. Castellucci to us. Also, do I smell a future colab????💜🧐
Lol yeah.. 70% of the time they talk, her eyes are “😍🥰” all over the place. The squinting eyes. He conducts himself very well: being that he is married.
@@loudleaf3330 Hm.. yeah married people shouldn’t be flirtatious with anyone other than their spouse. Ornery and funny is one thing; but how it’s conducted and conveyed determines flirtation.

VoicePlay and Home Free are must-see groups for me, everything that they do is awesome. What is even more awesome is that they are normal decent people with great attitudes and open and willing to engage their fans. Love you Elizabeth! Love you Geoff!
@@luisendymion9080 too bad that I am working from home 😅 .... but it's Friday afternoon before a bank holiday weekend and from Tuesday on I'll be on another team... so ... it's gonna be grand! 😁
With everything that they discussed in this video, and the glaringly obvious fact that they are both wonderful people, what sticks with me is Geoff's passionate advocacy for people to move to warmer climates! I just love his call to action that we don't have to live like this (last week it was -9 degrees F with gusts of wind up to 50 mph)! Love you guys!
The fact that Geoff is searching for "sex symbol" and his brain literally does not compute. I don't think he realizes the power the low voice has on people. It speaks to something powerful in the hindbrain something primal and visceral. When you add in the fact that he also has a very pleasing tone and timbre. A good head of hair. Some definition showing in the arms. Amazing the blind spots that people have concerning themselves. Could also be the whole gender thing where what we think others find attractive isn't always right. I watch a lot of reaction videos. Can say that Geoff is batting 1000 on the shook please wait while the female reactor reboots cognitive function on those super-low rumbles.
Honestly. If I meet anyone that can even sing a low note like Geoff, I would be astonished on how they are able to do it without straining their voice.
It must be nice to have a voice that can literally wake the dead. Every time you think he has hit a note as low as humanly possible, he then goes even lower.
I have to say the Elizabeth is hands down theee nicest person on RUclips that I have seen in a long while. As a Canadian I had to laugh when Geoff says if you don't like snow just move. Not too many places here without snow for 5 months in the year. I was surprised he didn't bring up The Nylons which was a big acapella group here in Canada in the 1980s with several well selling albums till the unfortunate early passing of their lead singer Marc Connors.
He doesn't like snow?!?! Damn Floridians! If I don't get my -35 celsius, and mounds of snow through which to Cocker Spaniel myself about the countryside, for at least 6 weeks worth of Winter, then I can't properly enjoy the summer; otherwise, a great interview, Professor. What does impress me most about Geoff - and you - is his commitment to his craft. Though I do have my areas (writing/acting), I've not committed more fully to them. I just holdback, too much. Doubt is a companion I should've kicked to the curb some time ago. That said, I've had my successes in other areas; but I am impressed with the commitment you both possess for this passion. In this regard, I find you both inspiring. Rest well, Professor! Best! J
I remember watching your reaction video when you first heard Geoff and your reaction was priceless. Now with you being able to interview him is wonderful. Next step a Duet?
I don't normally watch interviews but made an exception for Geoff. This was a great interview. Thank you Elizabeth! I have two points I want to bring up. Geoff suggested you interview a beat boxer. Yes! Adam Rupp. My second point was that I loved it when Geoff turned things around and started interviewing you! 😁😁😁 Cheers, Steve
what a powerful voice this man has! OMG! Noticing he's talking "softly" for Christ sake! You can hear it resonating in the room he's in! That's really insane, I've never seen him perform live but I hope to do it in the near future. P.D.: feel free to comment your experiences and thoughts if you has been in a live performance and what you felt like, I mean, I've heard through videos and I had a little idea that he had a powerful voice, but even in his own youtube videos it's kind of filtered I asume because here I can the hear resonance of his voice so much more. LOL he answered my question during the interview, so he's a conservative singer, damn, he has so much raw power tho'.
This was amazing... Jeff saying "they have a face that is off-putting... The camera does that sometimes" had me in stitches. 🤣🤣🤣 Excellent interview and questions, your preparation was perfect!
Mr. Castellucci sir, you are one of my favorite A Capella artists of all time. Thank you for taking time to chat with Elizabeth about some your life and history. All awesome all the time.
Love both of you! I don't know you, I'm sure you both have your ups and downs but it's clear to me that you both absolutely LOVE music! My favourite escape. P.s. Geoff, snow is amazing.. to visit! Not to live in (swedish so I know what I'm talking about 😉)
Hi Elizabeth and Geoff, I just discovered both of you on the same day about a month ago Jul2022. I searched for Ernie Ford "sixteen Tons". He had always been a longtime favorite singer of mine. Anyway, the third or fourth video was Geoff's cover. It was so amazing. then I saw some reactions to that video. Elizabeth yours was the second reaction I watched. I absolutely loved and enjoyed your joy in discovering Geoff's abilities. So, I have discovered 2 new things I am hooked on. Acapella music (Geoff) and Vocal analysis (Elizabeth). I never knew that listening to someone listening to someone' performance could be so entertaining and informative. I have come to enjoy listening to other reactors. It is really fun. Also, I am enjoying the awesome music out there. Now, and then I am done. Sixteen Tons is the most amazing cover I have ever watched. As an amateur noob to this arena, you have both spoiled my looking for more songs. I heard Geoff say he didn't think anyone would care about this song early in this video. IMO it is so hard to top what I consider to be the nearly perfect vocal and reaction videos. Thank you both for doing what you do.
What a wonderful interview, one could literally listen to you guys talking for hours. Thanks for making my day with this insightful and fun tea time, it was very cozy! And I would really love seeing you react/analyse Geoff's "High and Dry" cover, cause he's wrong, it's not just his favourite on the channel, I really appreciate and like that cover too - it's so pure, full of raw talent and wonderfully arranged.
Damn, this one is going to be fun! Loved your interview with Devin Towsend, Elizabeth. I found out about him back in 2001 with his album Terria. Awesome stuff!
So I know I'm 2 years late on this video... but just gotta say... Oathbringer in the background, plays DnD, polyglot, and music extraordinaire... Well played Elizabeth. My kind of nerd. Great interviewer as well!
Rockapella and Take 6!! I'm so glad he mentioned them. I am constantly going on about them, especially in reference to these younger bands, and no one ever knows what I am talking about.
Okay, now I cannot get the image out of my head of a baby William Castellucci saying his first words like "Da Da" in Geoff's subharmonic bass and plaster cracking off the ceiling and walls! 😂 Probably just me...
Omg I’m so excited!!!, you’re a great coach filled with great energy and Geoff is a vocalist that has proven he can sing as high as a tenor and as low as hell haha love you both ❤️✨
Great show! Really loved this. Geoff is like Tim & Austin to me-fantastic vocals, but also just a great guy all around! Even the “nerdy” stuff was great! Both of you keep the content/songs coming!!! Love from Charleston, SC. 🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻❤️❤️❤️
Great interview, as always. This is a really great format. A nicely balanced mix of formal preparedness and casual coziness. (And, it never hurts when you have such personable guests like Geoff. :) )
Around 1:01:30 "What's the internet?" So true! I was already a mom when it started, and internet gave me this huge wonderful opportunity to discover SO MANY THINGS I wouldn't have otherwise! Just having the opportunity to watch this interview for example, it shouldn't been taken for granted 🙂
Voice play are amazing because of, my mother told me,my 8yr old boy became obsessed and I had to download quite a few songs on iTunes to play in the car now x
So this video has kind of come full circle for me. I found Geoff because Sixteen Tons randomly appeared in my feed, and I loved it, and that led me to your reaction to that video. I just watched Geoff's "Saddle Up" video and loved it (Layne's cameo was AWESOME), but "The Headless Horseman" might be good for a Halloween Reaction, as well as (though it's a few years old now) VoicePlay's "Grim Grinning Ghosts", and then "Mister Grinch" for Christmas. (I swear, Geoff is like the Second Coming of Thurl)
Fantastic! I love all kinds of music. For example, I found your channel through your reaction to Jinjer: Pieces and then I found Geoff through your reaction to their Encanto bit. Now I’m doing a deep dive into his channel as well as subharmonics. I’ve always like the occasional reaction video but your channel is the first where I can watch video after video. Great interview with a great interviewee.
You are a legend for this interview can not wait to see how it goes hehe Two of my fav RUclipsrs Geoff and Elizabeth WHOOP WHOOP I would love to see you guys do a a duet of sorts ❤️
Thanks for having me on! This was so much fun!
Keep doing what you do brother. Don't think I missed the BRCC Coffee or Die tumbler in the BTS voiceplay video lol. Nothing but love to you and yours.
How many octaves is your voice? Lol

Dude you literally gave me more than an extra octave to use with your videos. I cannot express how thankful I am. I went from barely hitting an E2 to hitting a C2 chest voice and an A0 subharmonic at 15 thanks to you. Thank you my guy!
Geoff's speaking voice is hypnotic. No wonder his singing voice is so amazing.
Geoff: I don't know WHY Sixteen Tons blew up like that...
Also Geoff: Insane vocals + arms on display + literal earth-shaking visuals as tools are pounded
"No idea" lol
With that I love the look on Elizabeth's face right after Geoff says he doesn't think of himself as necessarily desirable. Probably the clearest "dude, really?" expression I've ever seen
The first time I ever heard "16 Tons" was when Jim Neighbors sang it and the Hillsdale Fairgrounds in Hillsdale Michigan. At the end of that he sang "You load 16 tons and what to you get, a hernier."
Sixteen tons is amazing it's so dang good wow
I loved the Tennessee Earny Ford version, Geoff's is the best contemporary version I've heard.

Geoff's look and voice would be so amazing to "Toss A Coin To Your Witcher". He looks so much like Geralt of Rivia from Netflix series.
OH MAH GOOOD YESSSS YOU ARE SO RIGHT!!!
The series of which we do not speak has no place in Witcher lore. Though I agree he easily could have a place amongst the downers and fiends.
Geoff Castellucci with black long hair looks like Severus Snape. :-)
I love how Geoff is interviewing Elizabeth almost as much as she is him.
I love this. Geoff is such a humble guy and definitely underestimates our love for his deep notes.
Dont forget his personality and how down to earth he is. We also love that. At least I do🥰
@@idaengest4069 When you've got a voice that deep you don't really have a choice

If Matt Mercer pursued singing instead of voice acting.
@@zichithefox4781 I have actually said the same thing multiple times
Especially when he does the cosplay stuff for singing I always see a bit of Mercer in him
Wouldn’t that be a fantastic crossover?
You might have a point there. Imagine if he was! 😆
Even his speking voice is low and so warm. What a cool and smart fellow too. I enjoyed this interview very much!
I enjoy his spoken word recordings too, for this reason. I'd buy the heck out of audio books if he were the reader.
Dude, you have the picture of the best character in history. Very well...
He s sounding like David Coverdale in 1989..
In less husky .
David had still rest of the Yorkshire accent then .
Yes! it's Geoff's range, not just the low notes, that is sooooo impressive! I, too, was captured via Oogie Boogie.
Same here. 😁👍
Now all we need is an Eli interview! That would be amazing.
I hope she gets former members, also
YES PLEASE.
Like Tony or something.
Maybe not, he’s probably busy with PattyCake
40:28 - "It seems like people, like, *track* your range in videos..."
Ma'am, we've got whole-ass *trading cards* out here with stats on 'em. ;)

Geoff's eyebrows are doing something akin to what Elizabeth's do at times...a mark of intelligence and involvement in the moment, I would venture.
They are very expressive aren't they? I love watching them talk.

Not trying to sound offensive, this man just does THINGS to me. His looks, his voice, his intellect...
It's the low resonance his voice.

Seems I will stop being productive an hour early on Friday 😂🤩 .... I'll just tell my boss to "better step aside" 😉
LOL what could possibly go wrong? "I left my iron turned on, back in 1 hour bass... I mean boss...."
@@luisendymion9080 too bad that I am working from home 😅 .... but it's Friday afternoon before a bank holiday weekend and from Tuesday on I'll be on another team... so ... it's gonna be grand! 😁
@@deires77 that completely changes the picture. Have a blast ;)
@@luisendymion9080 "One fist of iron, the other of steel" that is..
@@tatewakinew That sounds very metal, very Manowar. Not so good as an excuse to the boss ;)
His speaking voice is terrific..legendary bass
With everything that they discussed in this video, and the glaringly obvious fact that they are both wonderful people, what sticks with me is Geoff's passionate advocacy for people to move to warmer climates! I just love his call to action that we don't have to live like this (last week it was -9 degrees F with gusts of wind up to 50 mph)! Love you guys!
This will be SOOO Good!
Edit: It was SOOO Good! Really good questions and fun little moments throughout.
Please keep nerding out during these interviews it just creates the best atmosphere.
OMG his voice is sooooo deep even when he is just talking! Fascinating!
You can tell when the guest is a good person, when they end up partly interviewing the host and the host doesn't notice!
Yup.....I'm jealous!!! Great interview
The fact that Geoff is searching for "sex symbol" and his brain literally does not compute. I don't think he realizes the power the low voice has on people. It speaks to something powerful in the hindbrain something primal and visceral. When you add in the fact that he also has a very pleasing tone and timbre. A good head of hair. Some definition showing in the arms. Amazing the blind spots that people have concerning themselves. Could also be the whole gender thing where what we think others find attractive isn't always right. I watch a lot of reaction videos. Can say that Geoff is batting 1000 on the shook please wait while the female reactor reboots cognitive function on those super-low rumbles.
Honestly. If I meet anyone that can even sing a low note like Geoff, I would be astonished on how they are able to do it without straining their voice.
I've seen straight male reactors have to stop and do the hard reboot on cognitive function after those ultra-low notes. XD
@@frizzy2197 Practice.
Just like a workout in the gym, the first time it's hard work, later on it just becomes as normal as walking.
It must be nice to have a voice that can literally wake the dead. Every time you think he has hit a note as low as humanly possible, he then goes even lower.
Isn’t Elizabeth just the cutest. Her enthusiasm for music is so contagious. ❤❤❤❤
His voice relaxes me so much. I should start listening to him to fall asleep. There is just something that makes me tingle even if he just speaks
I have to say the Elizabeth is hands down theee nicest person on RUclips that I have seen in a long while. As a Canadian I had to laugh when Geoff says if you don't like snow just move. Not too many places here without snow for 5 months in the year. I was surprised he didn't bring up The Nylons which was a big acapella group here in Canada in the 1980s with several well selling albums till the unfortunate early passing of their lead singer Marc Connors.
18 minutes in, and Geoff has taught me a little bit about how arrangements are done.
He doesn't like snow?!?! Damn Floridians! If I don't get my -35 celsius, and mounds of snow through which to Cocker Spaniel myself about the countryside, for at least 6 weeks worth of Winter, then I can't properly enjoy the summer; otherwise, a great interview, Professor. What does impress me most about Geoff - and you - is his commitment to his craft. Though I do have my areas (writing/acting), I've not committed more fully to them. I just holdback, too much. Doubt is a companion I should've kicked to the curb some time ago. That said, I've had my successes in other areas; but I am impressed with the commitment you both possess for this passion. In this regard, I find you both inspiring. Rest well, Professor! Best! J
16 Tons has always been a favorite song of mine. I grew up with those songs.
Thank you Geoff. Elizabeth has introduced many thousands of her fans to VoicePlay, so we really appreciate this interview with you.
Uhm...watched this tease on my mobile. And I could feel his voice as my mobile vibrated as Geoff spoke 🤭😅 Amazing voice 🤙
Looking forward to this 👍
I remember watching your reaction video when you first heard Geoff and your reaction was priceless. Now with you being able to interview him is wonderful.
Next step a Duet?
This is a great video. I enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere and getting to know Geoff (and you!) a little bit better. 🥰
I don't normally watch interviews but made an exception for Geoff. This was a great interview. Thank you Elizabeth!
I have two points I want to bring up. Geoff suggested you interview a beat boxer. Yes! Adam Rupp. My second point was that I loved it when Geoff turned things around and started interviewing you! 😁😁😁 Cheers, Steve
Snow
what a powerful voice this man has! OMG! Noticing he's talking "softly" for Christ sake! You can hear it resonating in the room he's in! That's really insane, I've never seen him perform live but I hope to do it in the near future.
P.D.: feel free to comment your experiences and thoughts if you has been in a live performance and what you felt like, I mean, I've heard through videos and I had a little idea that he had a powerful voice, but even in his own youtube videos it's kind of filtered I asume because here I can the hear resonance of his voice so much more.
LOL he answered my question during the interview, so he's a conservative singer, damn, he has so much raw power tho'.
Love this! Can't wait! He's such a show off, in a good way, without even trying.
This was amazing... Jeff saying "they have a face that is off-putting... The camera does that sometimes" had me in stitches. 🤣🤣🤣 Excellent interview and questions, your preparation was perfect!
Mr. Castellucci sir, you are one of my favorite A Capella artists of all time. Thank you for taking time to chat with Elizabeth about some your life and history. All awesome all the time.
one year later watching this for the first time and i love geoff, hes such a nice guy
Howdy Mr. Geoff....I love all of your stuff. you amaze me with every video you release.
Just found this. Been using Jeff's tips for Base notes. Fun video, Thank you.
Love both of you! I don't know you, I'm sure you both have your ups and downs but it's clear to me that you both absolutely LOVE music! My favourite escape. P.s. Geoff, snow is amazing.. to visit! Not to live in (swedish so I know what I'm talking about 😉)
Hi Elizabeth and Geoff,
I just discovered both of you on the same day about a month ago Jul2022.
I searched for Ernie Ford "sixteen Tons". He had always been a longtime favorite singer of mine.
Anyway, the third or fourth video was Geoff's cover. It was so amazing. then I saw some reactions to that video.
Elizabeth yours was the second reaction I watched. I absolutely loved and enjoyed your joy in discovering Geoff's abilities.
So, I have discovered 2 new things I am hooked on. Acapella music (Geoff) and Vocal analysis (Elizabeth). I never knew that listening to someone listening to someone' performance could be so entertaining and informative.
I have come to enjoy listening to other reactors. It is really fun. Also, I am enjoying the awesome music out there.
Now, and then I am done. Sixteen Tons is the most amazing cover I have ever watched. As an amateur noob to this arena, you have both spoiled my looking for more songs. I heard Geoff say he didn't think anyone would care about this song early in this video. IMO it is so hard to top what I consider to be the nearly perfect vocal and reaction videos.
Thank you both for doing what you do.
Yup and that's the reason I live in Arizona! 💝tor music one of my Faves🌵😊
I CAN'T WAAAAIT OMG I'M SO EXCITED, THANKS ELIZABETH ❤️❤️❤️
What a wonderful interview, one could literally listen to you guys talking for hours. Thanks for making my day with this insightful and fun tea time, it was very cozy!
And I would really love seeing you react/analyse Geoff's "High and Dry" cover, cause he's wrong, it's not just his favourite on the channel, I really appreciate and like that cover too - it's so pure, full of raw talent and wonderfully arranged.
im late seeing this but i like how Elizabeth just casually has two large swords behind her
Great question about Gaston because I had the same thought. I’ve been wanting to here a full Gaston medley.
That was Friday evening sorted! This and your reaction to My Mother Told Me 💜
Cannot wait for this interview!
Damn, this one is going to be fun! Loved your interview with Devin Towsend, Elizabeth. I found out about him back in 2001 with his album Terria. Awesome stuff!
So I know I'm 2 years late on this video... but just gotta say... Oathbringer in the background, plays DnD, polyglot, and music extraordinaire... Well played Elizabeth. My kind of nerd. Great interviewer as well!
Cannot WAIT for this!
He is wonderful, this voice my God, it goes through the marrow and leg 🙏❤️💋👍👍👍I hope to hear a lot more from him, Thank you for everything nice 💎🌹
Speaking of Peter Hollens, he and Avi Kaplan sang "Black is the Color of My True Loves Hair" and it is incredible! I think you would really love it.
Rockapella and Take 6!! I'm so glad he mentioned them. I am constantly going on about them, especially in reference to these younger bands, and no one ever knows what I am talking about.
Okay, now I cannot get the image out of my head of a baby William Castellucci saying his first words like "Da Da" in Geoff's subharmonic bass and plaster cracking off the ceiling and walls! 😂 Probably just me...
16 tons is a great job, and you do an awesome job on it Geoff
Omg I’m so excited!!!, you’re a great coach filled with great energy and Geoff is a vocalist that has proven he can sing as high as a tenor and as low as hell haha love you both ❤️✨
Great show! Really loved this. Geoff is like Tim & Austin to me-fantastic vocals, but also just a great guy all around! Even the “nerdy” stuff was great! Both of you keep the content/songs coming!!! Love from Charleston, SC. 🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻❤️❤️❤️
great great interview. loved it!
Like two old friends catching up...How fun. Geoff is awesome and so are you Elizabeth!
What a great speaking voice!
Great interview, as always. This is a really great format. A nicely balanced mix of formal preparedness and casual coziness. (And, it never hurts when you have such personable guests like Geoff. :) )
I absolutely love hearing you both nerding out! Bouncing in my chair, clapping my hands, etc. Love it!
Around 1:01:30 "What's the internet?" So true! I was already a mom when it started, and internet gave me this huge wonderful opportunity to discover SO MANY THINGS I wouldn't have otherwise! Just having the opportunity to watch this interview for example, it shouldn't been taken for granted 🙂
Voice play are amazing because of, my mother told me,my 8yr old boy became obsessed and I had to download quite a few songs on iTunes to play in the car now x
So this video has kind of come full circle for me. I found Geoff because Sixteen Tons randomly appeared in my feed, and I loved it, and that led me to your reaction to that video. I just watched Geoff's "Saddle Up" video and loved it (Layne's cameo was AWESOME), but "The Headless Horseman" might be good for a Halloween Reaction, as well as (though it's a few years old now) VoicePlay's "Grim Grinning Ghosts", and then "Mister Grinch" for Christmas. (I swear, Geoff is like the Second Coming of Thurl)
The Headless Horseman is one of my favorites!
Thanks for this awesome interview.
Fantastic! I love all kinds of music. For example, I found your channel through your reaction to Jinjer: Pieces and then I found Geoff through your reaction to their Encanto bit. Now I’m doing a deep dive into his channel as well as subharmonics. I’ve always like the occasional reaction video but your channel is the first where I can watch video after video. Great interview with a great interviewee.
I might have to call in sick at work so I can watch this. I am so excited!!!!!!
You are a legend for this interview can not wait to see how it goes hehe Two of my fav RUclipsrs Geoff and Elizabeth WHOOP WHOOP I would love to see you guys do a a duet of sorts ❤️
