The bass at Voiceplay is absolutely amazing as is everyone else. I highly recommend their Oogie Boogie Song" and their "Can't Help Falling in Love" has amazing harmonies :)

You definitely need to react to more Voiceplay, especially their cover of "Oogie Boogie's Song" from The Nightmare Before Christmas.

VOICEPLAY IS SO UNDERRATED THEY'RE AMAZING

Their names: Layne Stein: far left, beatboxer Eli Jacobson (pronounced Ellie): bald one, tenor Rachel Potter: guest, the one who plays Elphaba, she was also in the Little Mermaid Medley Emoni Wilkins: guest, the one who plays Glinda Cesar de la Rosa: newest addition to Voiceplay, tenor-baritone, the one who started the medley Geoff Castellucci: far right, bass, arranger for this song

You know, I’ve watched A LOT of vocal professionals (voice coaches, opera singers, vocal scientists, etc) react to A LOT of different music. For the record, “no ma’am, mm-mmm, you’re not getting away with that, do it again” is easily my favorite commentary line in all of them.

So this was arranged by the bassist Geoff Castellucci!! You must check out his solo stuff it’s insane!! I would recommend starting with his cover of blackbird!!

Hannah’s visible distress toward the end is so relatable. The group’s performance was truly amazing.

Fun fact: Rachel Potter (the one that sings Defying Gravity) was the understudy for Glinda on the Wicked tour!

Yes! Finally more Voiceplay. Girl, you GOTTA watch more of their stuff, it's a delight.

Rachel Potter was the one singing Defying Gravity. You are correct she was in the Little Mermaid medley and she has collaborated with Voiceplay a lot. She has also been in the Moana medley and Kidnap the Sandy Claws

Rachel (the brunette) was in one of the US tours for Wicked but as Glinda's understudy - she has been on Broadway in Evita and others though. She's a POWER house. You literally NEED to listen to something by Geoff by himself so you can hear his low and high notes. Voice Play have SOOO many good songs.

DO MORE VOICEPLAY! THEY ARE SO WORTH IT!! Their range! Their composition! They are just so extremely joyful and talented ❤️❤️😍😍🌲❄️

Can you please react to Voiceplay doing “friends on the other side” it’s an amazing arrangement

LOVE Voiceplay "Hoist The Colours"! YOU NEED to see it!

Yes! More Voiceplay! They've established themselves as my favorite Acapella group at this point. Highly recommend reacting to Hoist the Colors and Friends on the Other Side by them, and then on top of that, in the spirit of festivities, I suggest "God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen" by Geoff Castelucci, AKA Voiceplay's bass.

Geoff has a video where he shows you how to sing as deep as him and he uses his natural voice. He thinks of himself as a baritone but the rest of say bass :-) He took close to two years to get this arrangement right and figure out who fit. Rachel was actually part of the Wicked ensemble and the understudy for the good witch. I highly recommend their "Friends From The Other Side" and "Hoist the colours".

One of the most amazing things to me is that VoicePlay does almost all of it on their own. Unlike so many others they do not have a record contract. This does give them a lot of creative freedom but it also means that unfortunately they aren’t as well-known as other groups. Geoff arranged this one. He and Layne, the amazing beatboxer, do most of the arrangements split pretty much 50-50. Whoever arranges also is responsible for the video. Eli (pronounced El-Lee, short for Eliezer) the bald dude down at the end near the beat boxer did the lighting and often does the lighting for the group. They have had quite a few personnel changes lately. After over 20 years, their high tenor Earl Elkins left the group in 2020. And in 2021, their baritone J left to enlist in the Navy to entertain the troops. Cesar, the adorable young man standing next to Jeff, is a new permanent member. They are still short one member and have been for sometime. So a lot of the recent productions have featured guest performers. Rachel has been with them several times and performed way back in Phantom of the Opera when Tony was still a member. She also has done Attention and Moana with them. Emoni Wilkins (pronounced EhMAHnee) also performed with them in The Bones and Bubbles Yum. I have only been able to find one or two songs that she sang on her own but they’re definitely worth checking out. She has an amazing voice. Geoff has his own channel and often clones himself for harmonies. I’ve heard them referred to as the Geoffrey, or my my favorite Geff and the Geofftones. As others have mentioned he does have a five octave range and his lowest note to date is a B0 and is frequently in that first octave. My favorite is 16 Tons followed very closely by Misty Mountains. But his range is best demonstrated in Blackbird, High and Dry, and his Halloween offerings. His new cover of God Rest ye Merry Gentlemen is gorgeous and well worth your time. One of my personal favorites for VoicePlay is the cover of Can’t Help Falling in Love with You. It is a beautiful arrangement and really demonstrates the capabilities of each singer, especially since there’s no beatboxing and we get to hear Laynes lovely baritone.

Hoist the colors, Oogie Boogie song, Friends on the other side, If I were a rich man/girl and Moana Medly are all great ones from voiceplay lots of different techniques you can talk about. Or if you want Geoff The Bass solo you can react to Misty Mountains, House of the Rising sun, Black Bird or his newest cover of God bless ye Merry Gentlemen.

I ADORE Rachel. Her voice is just 🤌🏻. And the fact she ACTUALLY played Glinda…even more perfect.

THE WAY SHE LITERALLY MOVES HER HAND TO THE NOTE IN DEFYING GRAVITY. LIKE SHE IS MOVING IT WITH HER WHOLE ASS HAND THAT CONRTOL IS SO FUCKING AWESOME MY HEART LIKE THUMPED SO HARD WHEN YOU REPLAYED IT

The fact that Hannah gives us content even though she's sick ❤ everybody say thanks mom

You should definitely react to some of Geoff’s individual songs. He’s beyond amazing

I dare say this is the best medley they’ve done so far and I’m absolutely astonished by how in sync they were and how they redefined each song!!! Rachel’s version of defying gravity may have been the best one I’ve heard!! Amazing arrangement Geoff!!!

For Good gave me LITERAL GOOSEBUMPS omg those HARMONIES ugh i am constantly blown away by VoicePlay 😍

I firmly believe that no one in voiceplay is human

Hannah, you MUST watch their cover of Oogie Boogie’s Song. It is a bass feature and a master class in character singing.

I was brought to real, onscreen tears by this one during my reaction, and everyone else I’ve seen react to it was absolutely broken by it. Was really excited to hear your take on it, and you (as always) did not disappoint. Well done 👏

Anytime you hear Hannah say "excuse me? I'm gonna need you to do that again" you know we're listening to someone truly incredible

2 things: 1) Rachel understudied Glinda on second run of Wicked, 2) Geoff considers himself a baritone with an extended lower range (he actualy has 5 octave range with his lowest so far being a B0 and that's also almost the range Eli the bald tenor guy has size wise but placed higher)

I actually started crying at defying gravity. The beauty of that performance left me DYING and I, wha, hello? I don't know!

Hannah's expression during Defying Gravity mirrored mine, I'm glad I'm not the only one offended by her amazing-ness. That girl killed it! Love Voiceplay

Please do more Voiceplay!! Hoist the Colours, Friends On The Other Side, If I Were a Rich Man, Anyway You Want It, Mr. Blue Sky and about 40 others are absolutely incredible!! Geoff Castellucci -the Bass- has his own channel with solo work. His new one is God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen which is perfect for a Christmas reaction.

Can we just take a moment to talk about how perfect she is?!🥺

We got Hanna's "So in awe she looks angry" face! Also no Geof is not.

The Bass singer is Geoff Castellucci and the one who sang wicked is Rachel Potter...

Need to watch Voiceplay's 'Moana' medley with Rachel as well. Phenomenal. I really didn't know about them until Geoff started posting his solo vids and I have had nothing but sheer respect for their abilities since then. Really a premier group.

Geoff Castellucci (the bass) does have a great speaking voice! He has his own channel and narrates some short stories that I think you’d enjoy hearing.

I am so happy that you did this one. It is amazing. You should do VoicePlay “ Hoist the colors”

Finally! I’ve been suggesting Voiceplay medleys and also Geoff (the bass) videos for so long! I really hope Hannah reacts to more Voiceplay content because they are ridiculously talented. I love them so much. Pentatonix are incredibly talented too, but Voiceplay is equally as talented and don’t get near enough recognition. Please keep reacting to Voiceplay songs 🙏🏻 Hannah’s face at the end is literally every single one of the Voiceplay fans reactions to this medley. It’s insane how talented they are and I love when Rachel joins them. She was amazing in the Taylor swift/Justin Bieber medley of I knew you were trouble/as long as you love me video. I also love the fiddler on the roof song from Voiceplay. Not Rachel but amazing just the same

your face during defying gravity - yup. there's several more videos they did with that soloist (rachel is Amazing). but also please do more voiceplay in general.

Hannah. Voiceplay - Oogie Boogie's Song... That bass singer is all over it, and if you watch with the subtitles at the very end, he goes so low that it says "Subterranean" for the description, and I'm telling you, the goosebumps, are subterranean.

The bassist is Geoff (Jeff) Castellucci. He spend a few years arranging this and getting it set up. Please review his God Rest ye Merry Gentlemen. He is awesome.

Literally everything from VoicePlay is amazing. Geoff (who is the bass) does a lot of the arrangements based on their credits in the descriptions of videos. Also you'd be surprised that his speaking voice is probably not as low as you'd expect. He actually has a pretty amazing vocal range and his own solo KZfaq channel under Geoff Castellucci.

I know everyone is already suggesting it but you absolutely *need* to react to their cover of Oogie Boogie's Song. I have never seen someone *not* be shocked by it, it's so incredible.

We need more Voiceplay reactions! Also Geoff the Bass and arranger for this one has his own solo channel (not acapella) everything there is amazing he has a 5 octave range his new video God rest ye merry gentleman will blow you away!

I fell in the rabbithole of voiceplay and it opened me a new experience of music. This Wicked Medley should have much more views. It is one of their best. Geoff worked for years on it. I didn't know Wicked before I heard this medley but now I really would like to see the whole musical.

You should also react to their version of The Grinch, as well as Hoist the Colors

they’re amazing wow

So Voiceplay's Hoist The Colors and Oogie Boogie's Song are top tier and should definitely be added to your list. Because damn. That's it. Just. Damn.

You absolutely have to watch their cover of phantom of the opera, it will blow you away

please please PLEASE react to "Hoist the Colours" by Voiceplay it really shows off everything this group can do!

Yessss please more Voiceplay! I would recommend Oogie Boogie, If I Were a Rich Man/Girl, and Hoist the Colors.

Definitely you should react to ''Oogie Boogie's song", "hoist the colours" and "moana medley". Also you should react to geoff castellucci's(he's the base) "monster mash", it's *chef's kiss*

Thank you soo much! I loved this reaction so much. I've waited for this so long 😍 So... from left to right, that's Layne (percussion), Eli (spoken Ally), Rachel Potter (from the little mermaid medley), Emoni, Cesar and last but not least Geoff (Bass). This arrangement was made by Geoff the longhaired god of low notes. Some suggestions: "Oogie Boogie Song", "Whats this?" and "This is Halloween" from The Nightmare before Christmas. Also Hoist the Colors, Bridge over troubled water, Can't help falling in love, Daddy sang bass. Geoff also has his own channel. You really should check out some of his stuff to. My favourites: High and Dry, Blackbird and Sixteen Tons. ❤

Their Aca-Disney Medley from a few years ago is still SO good and I listen to it whenever I need a boost of serotonin. Geoff especially, how voice just YES.

MORE VOICEPLAY!!! Definitely check out Oogie Boogie's song for a huge helping of bass, and also check out the bass Geoff Castellucci's solo channel! I recommend his cover of Misty Mountains, you will lose your mind at both of those. As well as any other VoicePlay cover - they do not miss, ever.

VOICEPLAY IS AMAZING

For good is my favourite wicked song. Loved seeing an new a spectacular version of it.

I’m with you. I feel music to my core and am easily and so willingly swayed by it!

What a great reaction!! I second//third/fourth/tenth the request that you react to more Voiceplay. I like the way you make a point of talking about each of the singers. They’re all SO good! Often Geoff’s subterranean notes get most of the attention-and yes, it’s hard not to be gobsmacked by his range, and the quality of his timber, but there isn’t a slouch in this group, and the people they bring in, like Rachel, Emoni, Jose Rosario Jr., and Ashley Diane are insanely good. If you haven’t already, you NEED to react to If I Were a Rich Man/Girl. It’s genius.

alright, I'm at the 2 minute-mind-blown-mark... *going to follow Voiceplay now*

Yes I recommend this because the level of iconic this video is vocally and visually plus Hannah! I mean come in so exciting. 💜

I've been a Wicked fan forever and Voiceplay has done this proud! I love watching your reactions to these videos. I actually cried when Rachel Potter sang Defying Gravity. The mix and arrangement of For Good was also off the charts. If you want to hear Geoff's speaking voice he does a wonderful reading of the Twas the Night before Christmas on his channel, go check it out. I swear he could read the phonebook and put me to sleep with that voice. Take care and feel better soon! Have a happy holiday season Hannah!

Voiceplays Hoist the Colors was so freaking awesome!!! Highly recommend

I think it would be so much fun and so interesting if you reacted to all the versions of she used to be mine on Broadwaycom and commented a bit about their differences/similarities!!

Geoff Castellucci the bass singer of voiceplay does have his own channel where he does his own solo work and also does tutorial videos.

I love Rachel Potter - I actually got to see her on Broadway in Evita. She has a phenomenal voice.

I’ve seen Voiceplay live probably 6-7 years ago. They’re amazing

This medley is such a bop! Love Wicked

Okay is it just me or the soloist who absolutely killed Defying Gravity sounds almost EXACTLY like Lea Michelle!? Like it gave me Glee throwback vibes…

This medley is a ride! Voice play and Rachel Potter are such a great mix plus the other two guests just *chef’s kiss*

I literally was breathless the entire video it was mesmerizing. I had the chills, I felt energized inside. It's a beautiful medley, Wicked is by far my favorite musical so listening to it in this form is just jaw dropping

This was awesome!!! I was in tears from the time "For Good" started til the end!!

I am grateful that you reacted to voice play’s wicked medley. I would love to see your reactions to more of their music. Especially Geoff Castellucci’s cover of God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen plus more. He is the bass singer in voice play.

So, watching/hearing this for the first time with you.... and omg... holy crap!

Voiceplays is such an amazing group

I normally don't comment, but you're my favorite reactor so I absolutely need you to react to Citizen Queen. They're an all-female acapella group (the bass and beatboxer are amazing) that were brought together by Scott Hoying from PTX. I'll let you choose what song to react to, but they deserve far more attention than they get. Love you Hannah, from another singer and acapella enthusiast!

you should react to their cover of "oogie boogies song" and "friends on the other side"

I will never get tired of watching reactors' brains melting while listening to Voiceplay.

HOME FREE PLEASE!! They're another incredible acapella group, my favorite out of the 3 actually. You can't go wrong with anything from them, but if you want killer harmonies, definitely try Helplessly Hoping or Mary Did You Know

Got goosebumps when they transitioned from For Good to Defying Gravity. That whole video was incredible, I need to go check out their channel. And then watch your Little Mermaid Medley reaction.

To hear Geoff's talking voice, listen to his cover of "God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen" on his personal channel (Geoff Castellucci) and stay briefly after he finishes singing. He'll do the usual thanks etc. And consider.... he arranged this Wicked medley, so you are guaranteed that his arrangement of the Christmas carol will knock you out. It's mind-blowing. (Rachel is part of the second broadway cast for Wicked, doing this role.)

You need to react to Voiceplay doing Phantom of the Opera with Rachel Potter. They hit the nail on the head every time.

I need more Voiceplay reactions. They such an underrated group with so much talent. ☺️

So. You need to react to some of Geoff's solo music. He is absolutely a true bass. But he can go up into tenor range. Blackbird, 16 Tons, Headless Horseman, High and Dry. All amazing selections. And for Voiceplay I recommend Hoist the Colors, My Mother Told Me, Oogie Boogie's Song, honestly any of their songs a good choice...

Omg I love wicked and this was incredible

Yay! Mic boom arm! I enjoy your videos thoroughly, and consistent audio makes it even better!

Oh isn't it so good!! One of my favourites for sure!

I love Rachel’s voice 🤩 she is super talented

Haha I love how everyone’s reaction to Geoff’s voice is always the same. “Are you even human?!” What’s funny is that he personally considers himself as a true baritone. He has his own channel on KZfaq where he talks about how he reaches those subharmonics. His voice just rumbles through your ear drums. Also you need to listen to any of Geoff’s singles. My favorite is 16 tons but any of them are fantastic. His range is out of this world for a bass singer.

Your appreciation of music enhances my appreciation of music! I'm always pointing out vocal techniques to my family now (hopefully accurate lol), and your videos have really reignited my love for musical theatre after feeling the loss of that passion during the pandemic. Thank you for sharing your enthusiasm!

I feel so especial when I hear "a real true bass is rare", I'm a bass with only 17.. I love tenors, I love rock tenor voice, but being a bass is amazing too... Sharing my love from Brazil 🇧🇷❤

Okay, you REALLY need to listen to Oogie Boogie's song. And if you haven't heard of them, you need to look up Home Free "Man of constant sorrow" as well. Home Free's bass helped Geoff from Voiceplay perfect his bass after they competed against each other in the Sing Off

I would love to see you react to 'Schuyler Sisters' but the one that Renée, Phillipa and Jasmine preformed at Kennedy Center! It's such a beautiful like acoustic version of the original song! 💜

I'm a sucker for harmonies too. and nobody does them better than VoicePlay, Geoff the bass, even becomes his own backing group for solo videos he does as Low Bass singer. He has a range of five octaves and shows them off in his solo covers by harmonising with himself. Check him out. :) But for beautiful harmonies you need to see their Can't Help Falling in Love. Or True Colours. It's just superb. To hear him speak check out his How To Sing Low videos. Geoff Castellucci. I have read that he took seven years trying to put this one together. And it was worth it. Rachel did actually play Ariel for Disney so was a natural to join VoicePlay for their version. She has also appeared in Wicked - I think off Broadway - but not sure about that.

Geoff spent YEARS working on this arrangement and it SHOWS. HE ABSOLUTELY KILLS IT. Every single person shines and you’re right, way more people should be viewing this and all their other songs

Amazing video. Hope you are well Hannah? Also VoicePlay, My mother told me is a great one to react to. 🥰🙏

Rachael Potter is amazing! She was on idol I think. One of the competition shows

I adore this version from VoicePlay. Every time I heard For Good I break down because it reminds me of my grandmother who passed a few years ago. Hearing this version makes me want to sing it again even through the tears.

Your reactions to Geoff, the bass, is made even more entertaining by the fact that he barely pushed his voice in this. He can go a fair bit lower than he does in this, higher too.
