Geoff: "I'd never call myself a natural bass" Also Geoff: *causes a sonic earthquake just by speaking*

How to sing really low: *Geoff starts speaking* Me: ahh ok.

I just looked it up and Geoff turns 40 in august. This man could easily pass for 28

Geoff: lEtS fiNd mY nAtUrAl rAngE Also Geoff: if I bought the whole piano, I’m gonna use the whole piano

3:30 I love how he went from Ariana Grande to James Earl Jones in 2 seconds

0:15 " *AUGHHH* "

Thanks for the shout-out Geoff!

Random person:what’s your “natural range”? Geoff: wider than yours Random person: highest note? Geoff: higher than yours Random person: lowest? Geoff:you know the answer Also “And it goes like, uhh-water”

3:29 Love how the camera starts trembling when he belts!😂 I llike to imagine everything else behind it is falling apart from the shockwave!🔊🎶

"Any given day, four octaves." That's the sort of range people joke about on acapella arrangements with pitch shifting. This man is the real deal.

3:29 The camera can't take it 😂

Geof: "And we're back" And (d3) we're( c3) back ( c2) 😄

"I'd never call myself a true bass." Everyone points out his low voice, but what we really need to point out is his long hair.

Geoff is a rare talent. Is a bass can be a baritone or a tenor. Love you Geoff

Anyone else just love to listen to his voice? Its so calming

Geoff: “Without challenging myself too much”. Also Geoff: *Hits 4 octaves effortlessly* Geoff, YOU AND YOUR VOICE ARE MINDBLOWINGLY AMAZING!!! 😍❤️🎼

Me trying to record bass covers of Voiceplay arrangements: 1) Learn the bass parts 2) Try 3) Cry 4) (Optional) Switch back to PTX covers

6:04 now that's just straight up adorable ❤

me, a soprano: wait what am I doing here? I’m a really big fan of Voiceplay and Geoff and I can’t wait for more of these videos! Really educational :)

3:30 I'm- How can you be so perfect???

"A baritone with a bass range." That is the true definition of a bass-baritone, or as some put it the other way, a baritone-bass.

We can't tell that you love The Office at all mate lol

it's impossible to hate this guy

im 14 and i just realized i have a bass voice and now i’m obsessed with you

I'm a tenor. What the hell am I doing here? Dreaming, of course. What a deep voice, dude! I'd like to be able to hit even a C2.

Me: I wanna sing low! also me: *is female*

Thanks for the water reminder. I needed that today. You know, not as a singer, but as someone who is always forgetting to hydrate.

Could Layne make some kind of beatboxing tutorial like you're doing with bass ??

Geoff: “I’m not a bass” Also Geoff: 2:07

Geoff, your talent is astronomical. You've got to get into doing audiobooks, I could listen to you talk about literally nothing and still be enthralled.

Geoff originally wanting to be a rock tenor is surprising, but also explains a lot lol

Geoff referring to Queen... when he’s got Baron’s cane next to his keyboard... friendly reminder he played Baron. And was awesome!

Geoff: I'm not a bass Also Geoff Reach Subharmonic B0 in their Warriors Song Covers.

I think it's established that Geoff loves The Office

If you Wana sing like this 3:30 Or this 2:07 Drink this 3:08

Interesting how the world works. The guy who didn't want to sing bass originally is one of the ones who got me excited to learn to sing bass. I just started voice lessons recently in part because of watching this guy. Thanks for being a good example!

2:03 - 2:11 on .25 speed is just amazing😂 In all seriousness, thanks for doing this Geoff!!!

When you said learn in instrument I was like "Hell yeah, I already do!", and then you went on about chords, notation and all that stuff. Drummers life...

"this is big one" "That's what she said" Dead

Вы-самый красивый бас,какой я слышала за 66 лет! А я никогда не упускаю возможность послушать бас...

What surprises me most about your voice isn't how low you can go (it is is pretty crazy though) but how high you can go. I can only get as high as about F5, maybe F sharp, and that's on a good day, yet you've got a high A all the time!

No easy feat to even imitate Chris Cornell he had a very specific & uncommon range. That was really good

Hi Geoff, I just recently found my subharmonic register. Its so cool I couldn't believe it at first, but after I saw your video and David Larson's, I actually tried it for a few days and WHOA its actually real. It goes an octave below what I was singing. So impressed and just wanted to say thanks.

Not only a great singer in a great group but also takes the time to make these videos for his followers and fans wanting to learn more I love what you're doing. Thank you very much!

I love the tone of your voice

With nothing but immense respect, and no notable music background to speak of on my part, can I just say- you could sing me the phone book and I'd feel it in my ovaries. Goodness. This is what world peace sounds like, I'm convinced. Brilliant, brilliant talent.

Hey Geoff, I have been bass singing for a few years. You, Tim Foust and Avi Kaplan are my idols. I love your guys's music. I am making an A Capella group for my college in the fall. I just wanted to say thank you for the things you do. Because if I hadn't heard any of you sing, I wouldn't have met the people I have and done the things I have done. Keep up the good work!!

God, even his voice in amazingly deep. 😶😍

OK I THINK THAT GEOFF CASTELLUCCI SINGING QUEEN AND DOING THE OFFICE REFERENCES IS THE BEST THING THAT'S EVER HAPPENED TO ME!!! Srsly, thank you so much. H I L A R I O U S

Dude's a beast on the mic, no matter what key or octave he's singing

Better singing is the way. I used to sing four part harmony (barbershop society) and we always sang what sounded clean and in the pitch that fits your voice instead of going for volume. We let the natural sound expansion do the work for us. We also made sure we were singing for our audience not ourselves. If that makes sense. We saved all our vocal gymnastics for rehearsals.

This probably sounds cheesy but "watching these helped me significantly increase my range". I've always tried frying to get higher or hide my breaks up there (I also always wanted to be a tenor) and never thought to fry to go lower. I never thought I'd be able to get into the 1's before. You explained it perfectly for my brain to wrap around it too.

2:11 Death in minecraft

i'm female but trying to learn to imitate a male-ish voice without hurting myself lol i THINK i've been making use of the subharmonic range but didn't know it was called that thank you for all the advice, it was very helpful!

Have you recorded any of Soundgarden's music? That would be amazing! Also, I would fan girl freak out to hear Eli doing some Bon Jovi.

Ha! Those wacky instrumentalists with their crazy notes.

This really helps me a lot for highschool show choir! Also if possible, can you please do a specific guide on Sub-Harmonic and Voice Growl if possible, if not it's ok! Have a really Awsome day geoff!

It took me almost a full year of daily practice to be able to sing that ending of the Oogie Boogie song... with my morning voice. It will probably take me another year to be able to sing it on command. Geoff is insane.

I'm watching this the night before my performance of 16 tons in front of half the school! I'm singing it one whole note up on mic! Thank you so much Geoff, I hope that the light trauma I've induced will work 😭!

Every time Geoff does the last note for oogie boogie his hair grows 2 inches

I love that he says he is not a natural bass when he literally just hit a A1 with ease.

your voice is so so so awesome just when you are speaking, so low, so amazing!

Most comfortable in 2nd and 3rd octave. Same here with me. I have a 5 octave range -G#0 to B5 with subharmonics. Not many of us out here with natural bass-baritone voices. Thanks for your time on the video.

You are my Favorite nember voiceplay

Thanks Geoff Just became a big fan watching Ghost riders I have listened to other singers I vote your version In my mind is the best. It moves my spirit

*in the deepest voice I've heard in my life* "I wouldn't consider myself a true base"

For some reason at 2:08 its satisfying to hear him slide up to the E2 for a split second to do subharmonics on E1

I know this is an old video, no need to answer, but I just wanted to say that you inspired me to once again open the vocal chords. My cousin and I will begin recording soon.

You're awesome dude! Few people are blessed with the ability you have and that deep rolling thunder bass just gives the sound so much more depth and feel. I'm nothing but a frustrated church singer but folks just don't get how music works. You guys do. Happy I found y'all!

I do understand what you mean at the Baritone with Base area. I had this kind of issue myself. For a long time I wanted to sing high notes to get certain arias that I loved but I always considered myself to have low voice so practiced as alto. I called myself that but in the end with the help of my teacher I realized that I do have the high notes and she started couching me for mezzo but then someone called me an actual soprano...so...yup. I feel this idea that you start off as something and end up to get something else. Also I do get that your area of comfort (aka your tessitura) is to the baritone notes but it is indeed great that you can handle your base and your tenor the same well. As I said I too have my area of comfort to the low notes and a little bit to the high ones (the middles are my nightmare for some reason! It is my "passage" as me and my teacher call it) so yeah it happens a lot from what I hear that even if someone sings a lot a certain voice range, their area of comfort might differ a bit. In operatic singing is not preferable of course but even then I have heard it happen some times. I always believe that range isn't everything and I would always consider a 2.5 to 3 octave range a good range but I always admire people who not only do have the natural range but have the technique to support it. Many of your advice indeed apply for both high and low notes, for instance the relaxed body and the low larynx. We try to do that every day in our training (and of course practice! DUh! XD) Keep up your great work and we surely appreciate any creation you and the guys have to show us!

Great!!! Just super!! Without too much high self-esteem!! This is what a true musician is!!

I love how open you are about your techniques and struggles. There isn't a lot out there just for bass voices, and it makes me feel in good company to know that even the best miss notes here and there. I also struggle with landing those subharmonic notes, and I just assumed you had them down perfectly. I'm inspired to practice more.

Is there ever a chance of you doing a collab with Tim Foust? Y'all both are amazing!

What’s the lowest note you can hit using subharmonics? Can you go lower than the low E?

We all love you Geoff

I stumbled across David Larson's subharmonics video about 2 years ago! I'm amazed to see that you learned the technique from him as well, and I aspire to be as practiced and refined as you someday. It's really cool seeing you behind the scenes, Geoff. Would love to make it out to a show once the Ronies go away.

Hey, Geoff! You (and maybe Layne, as well!) should make a video about how you make your arrangements for Voiceplay and your own tools and methods for arranging music for a capella performances! I sing with an all guys a capella group at my university and have written a few arrangements, but would love to learn from some of the best out there!

David Larson was such a help with subharmonics when I first started attempting it, and it's nice to see that you learned from him too. Thanks for the tips Geoffypiebaby

I love the editing, so funny!

I gotta tell you something Geoff... i'm 74 now... in the 9th grade at Riverside Elementary School that all I had to do was not sing when we went to concerts and I would get an ''A'' for effort. i got the ''A''. lol You've got a killer voice Geoff... everyone loves your videos.

I just watched this video, and I am so happy to see that you are willing to help people with their voice and singing. Please always stay as honest and caring as you are. It is so nice to see that you care so much. Thank you for being you!

Speaking voices can be so much more different than singing voices. My singing "comfort zone" is second alto, but I like to sing tenor to mezzo-soprano- and baritone for fun. When I talk to cute animals, I find myself in a soprano tone with ease. I can do a few whistle notes when i build up to it and have warmed up. But my normal speaking voice is upper-alto. Geoff definitely has more of a baritone speaking voice, but he's obviously had experience enough with singing bass, he can slide into those notes without any audible strain. So my personal tip for any of you, male or female, who want to have a large range- practice, practice, practice. Tips that Geoff didn't mention: warm up for singing in the shower or bath actually does help because the steam will open your vocal chords and relax your muscles. If you can't have water, drink smooth teas and avoid dairy products until after your practices. Obviously don't smoke. Practice self-care with all of your body, not just your pipes. Don't be afraid to experiment, but relax when you do. Working on self-confidence will also help. Singing can be the best thing in the world if you work at it enough. Most of all, enjoy yourself!

Please Geoff, keep on doing these videos because they are really helpful for me

Very important question: In the Oogie Boogie Song at 1:20, how do you do that run in the background? Is it subharmonics, altered in post, or something different altogether? I'm currently obsessing over it a lot and need help

I love your humor dude.

Thanks Geoff. Part 3??

Geoff: “I’m not a bass” *Can, can you not...? :(*

You're brilliant, Geoff! I love listening to you!

Yo Geoff, i am so thankful for these videos, there's not a lot of videos about bass on the internet, and these are not only so helpful but i love the editing. 😂😂 also a side note, keep going, you are doing awesome!! :)

I know you don’t need anyone to tell you this but damn if you’re not hosting radio shows all over the world I’d be surprised , or a singer. The dialect is so clear and soothing goddamn

I love the fact that your are so honest.

You r incredible! just LOVE our voice, both high and low ❤

WOW! You and all of Voice Play are fantastic! You canNOT be 40!

Please continue to making videos. You awesome Geoff 👍🎶

I have to say you never cease to amaze me! I just recently discovered you and Voiceplay and I’m smitten! The work that your and the others put into your work is outstanding and it has been a bright spot in my life! Thank you for all you do! ❤🎶🎼

I love these videos so much please don’t stop making them

The maturity in this video is top notch! I'm dying 😂😂😂

You mentioned Chris Cornell and my respect for you just went through the roof

Thanks for sharing you technics and good advice. Enjoy every session. And practicing a lot.

Thank you Geoff for these videos. I appreciate your talent and your advice. I love your music videos as well.
