First Voiceplay video - absolutely 100% "Oogie Boogie Man"!!

They are called, from left to right, Jeoph, Goff, Geoff, and Jeff. Jeff is the funny one. In more recent videos you will also see Darryl. If you like the humor side then do Way Down. The Elvis cover.

I know it's not Halloween yet, but try "Monster Mash". SOOOOOO much fun!

Geoff and the Geoffettes are fabulous!

He does a version of Blackbird by the Beatles which is stunningly beautiful. Please listen to it.

16 Tons was written and recorded by Merle Travis in 1946, Tennessee Ernie Ford popularized it in 1955. Love Geoff's version. Yes, please check out VoicePlay too. Recommend their covers of We Don't Talk About Bruno (Encanto), or Oogie Boogie Song (Nightmare Before Christmas) , and many more.

A friend sent me a link to this cover by Geoff because they know how much I like the bass voice. That was the gateway for me, then I found Voiceplay and I have been hooked ever since. To get the real theater vibe from Voiceplay, try the Little Mermaid Medley or Wicked Medley. Then you can go from the sublime to the ridiculous I Can't Make You Love Me and In the Hall of the Mountain King Creep and Drunken Sailor Geoff's cover of Shenandoah is gorgeous and soothing.

Great reaction! Yes, he has several really cool songs. The Headless Horseman, Shenandoah, Ghost Riders In The Sky come to mind. As for Voiceplay, they're all over the place from covers of classic rock, Broadway, Disney, holiday videos. Personally I like their Medley of " Wicked", Metallica's " Nothing Else Matters", Moana, The Little Mermaid, Carry on My Wayward Son, Valhalla Calling. Lots of great songs to choose from!

Really enjoyed your reaction. Since you like the playful side of Geoff’s check out his version of “Way Down “ And may I recommend VoicePlay’s Hoist the Colors or Nothing Else Matters.

Love it ! You MUST check out and react to Geoff's acapella group Voiceplay's cover of 'Oogie Boogie's Song' !!

This is such a fun one! As for VoicePlay, if you want the full "theater kids" experience, try their cover of Valhalla Calling. If you'd prefer to start with a more serious exhibition of their skill as musicians that will knock your socks off--Nothing Else Matters.

Hi Welcome to Voice Play and Geoff. You are in for a delightful ride. I just wanted to recommend that you always watch Geoff's and Voice Play's videos with the captions on if you have that option. Many times, they put in jokes or Easter eggs in the captions. Geoff has a beautiful video with his wife Kathy that tells of their relationship and her struggles before she became their Production manager and I believe they take such care with the captions partially because of being so aware of how important they are for some people. Voice Play and Geoff are extremely nice to their fan base and quite accessible through their Patreon. They are also completely independent and do almost everything themselves so generally you should have no trouble with KZfaq and their copyrights algorithm so please Do feel comfortable showing their videos onscreen with you just as you did here. Great reaction BTW I will keep an eye out for you

Now you HAVE to do the "part 2" to this song: "Big Bad John" You'll love it!

Headless Horseman is also a great song maby a fun one to do around Halloween

Awesome seeing you return to Geoff! He's not only an incredible talent, but if you ever watch any interviews or anything, he's such a likeable guy. It must be hard to look like he does and have his talent, and remain humble, but he manages to pull it off. Easily one of my favorite singers. If you really want to see Geoff's humor, "Monster Mash" has to be near the top of the list, though you might want to wait for it to get closer to Halloween. In the meantime, his Johnny Cash cover, "Folsom Prison Blues," which is pretty new, is absolutely fantastic.

Juliet, Halloween is coming up so I would recommend "Monster Mash" and "Headless Horseman" for Geoff. However, Geoff's most viewed cover is "Far Over The Misty Mountains Cold" from The Hobbit. As far as VoicePlay is concerned, one of my favorites is "Tennessee Whiskey". As far as humor is concerned you can't beat "Drunken Sailor". I am glad you are reacting to Geoff now.

So many people suggest "Oogie Boogie" as an intro to VoicePlay, mostly because it's what most of us FIRST heard back when that song trended on KZfaq and was shared around choir forums for months, thanks to Geoff's lead. For many of us, it was the first time we had ever even HEARD of "subharmonics." Since you already know Geoff's crazy lows, it's less shocking, although still so playful, lots of character voices, the PERFECT Halloween song to check out next month, yet I feel it's not the best to show off the ENTIRE GROUP, as Geoff has lead through most of the song and the rest are BVs or character voices. I always suggest "Hoist the Colours" as a good intro to the unique voices of the current member lineup. "Valhalla Calling" as well makes a good intro to VoicePlay. It really topped their theatrics game and brought back J. None, a former member who left in 2021 to sing in the Navy. They're holding his place as the 5th member, using guest singers in the meantime, which helps to introduce some talented singers. Nearly every song of theirs since 2021 features someone new, although a few guest singers have become regulars. The divine Rachel Potter from Broadway has collabed with them for well over 10 years, and Jose Rosario Jr. from "Hamilton" tends to be in their pirate-themed songs like "Hoist the Colours." They also work with AJ Cardona a lot (his voice is such a beautiful addition in "Dragonborn Comes") and his brother EJ Cardona from Voctave (not theatrical, but "I Can't Make You Love Me" has to be one of their most beautiful songs).

Can never have enough Geoffs 😂😂 You just met Goff, Jeoph Jeff as well 😂😂 If you want to meet Daryl as well, you will have to do Ghost Riders In The Sky 😂😂

With Geoff's videos, Shenandoah is gorgeous and fits it century and a half history. I'd also do Blackbird and High and Dry, as well as some of the Halloween themes - my first one was Geoff's Monster Mash, the Headless Horseman, as well as VoicePlay's; In the Hall of the Mountain King, Hide and Seek, Superstition, Queen in 5 Minutes, Friends on the Other Side.

When watching one of Geoff's videos (or VoicePlay, the a cappella group he sings bass for, and highly recommended!), they sometimes put interesting/humorous comments in the closed-captions, so I think you'll enjoy it if you turn them on when watching. In this video, for instance, there's a comment when Geoff does the low riff near the end: "(Super dramatic bend to a low F# 😉)" For Geoff, to see him individualizing his "clones", check out Far Over the Misty Mountains Cold, and then I See Fire - both songs from The Hobbit movies. I See Fire especially will give you a good idea of just how wide Geoff's range is. For another good example of his range, check out Blackbird. For VoicePlay, check out We Don't Talk About Bruno, the Little Mermaid medley, or Valhalla Calling - all showing why they got the nickname "the theater kids of a cappella". For songs that are just amazing, but not theatrical, check out I Can't Make You Love Me, Nothing Else Matters, or Bridge Over Troubled Waters.

The more you listen to Geoff you’ll start to hear that sliding onto and off of notes is kind of part of his signature sound. It’s definitely a stylistic choice but I also think it’s a holdover from constantly singing bass lines where he has to slide all over the place. For first VoicePlay song, I’m going to recommend “In My Room” or “In The Air Tonight”. Most VP fans are going to want you to react to their more dramatic stuff first, like “Hoist The Colors”, but I think the other two give a better sense of each voice in the group without being too theatrical. Any song of theirs is good though, and we will always give you info. But please do not do Oogie Boogie first; it’s a Geoff showcase and will not give you a good overview of the whole band. I would save that for later.

Voice Play reactions try "A Night on Bald Mountin" or "The Oogie Boogie Song" Or "Halloween" amazing singing and makeup effects. For solo performances try "The Headless Horseman* they are many more to pick from just like Home Free a deep rabbit hole to go down.

Geoff just posted "Jack's Lament" from Nightmare Before Christmas and it's amazing!!!

I See Fire and Shenandoah next please 🙏. Both are beautiful and show his upper range as well.

Great reaction to the amazing Geoff Castellucci! I'm not sure if you've reacted or not to them, but he is one of the founding members of the a capella group Voiceplay. If you haven't reacted to them, you definitely should! Absolutely amazing and their theatrics is off the chart! Geoff has many amazing covers on his channel, but one you should definitely react to is his cover of Bill Withers' "Ain't No Sunshine." It will melt you right into the carpet! Lol! Two of his "fun" ones are "Monster Mash" and "The Headless Horseman," as we draw closer to Halloween!

You should definitely turn on captions when you listen to Geoff or his group, Voiceplay. There are often funny little bits in the captions. Loved this reaction!

As many have said, with Halloween coming up, Geoff's versions of Monster Mash or Headless Horsemen are great. I would also recommend I See Fire (though you could really pull up anything he has put out and it's going to be great). For Voiceplay, the range of songs they cover is so big it's tough to pick a single song that represents them. I believe Oogie Boogie's song (from Nightmare Before Christmas) is their most viewed video, but it really is more of a Geoff showcase than a song that gives you a feeling for the entire group. I would suggest Nothing Else Matters as a song that is one of my favorites that they have done and everyone shines at different points. Nothing Else Matters is also a good one because it features J.None, a former member of Voiceplay who is currently serving with the Marines. Popular theory is that when his service is done he will rejoin Voiceplay as a full time member, though I don't know that either he or the group has posted anything to confirm this. One thing you will notice about Voiceplay is that since J.None left, they have worked with a variety of different singers to be featured in that fifth spot and they are very adept at blending with that guest artist. I personally love everything they have done with Ashley Dianne (If I Was A Rich Man / Girl, Running Up That Hill, We Don't Talk About Bruno), but if you listen to anything from the last 1-2 years it's all great.

Geoff has several covers and one of his favorites is from the Jungle Book "The Bare Necessities" and one of my favorite that has been covers over many decades "Ghost Riders in the Sky". Halloween is nearly upon us, Geoff has a few solo covers like "The Headless Horseman Jamboree" and the classic "Monster Mash" but with Voiceplay they cover a couple of songs from The Nightmare Before Christmas and you have to check out "Oogie Boogie Song"

I highly recommend Geoff's covers of Folsom Prison Blues and Way Down! For Geoff's sense of humor, definitely Way Down! He dives headlong into humor in it! (Actually, I recommend any of Geoff's solo stuff!) For Voice Play, I am amazed by their Drunken Sailor! (After Oogie Boogie Song...)

"will he go lower?" the answer is always yes

VoicePlay usually drops new releases at noon Florida time on Fridays, typically every 3-5 weeks. Drunken Sailor came out, what, five weeks ago? Six? I expect they likely have something in the works that will come out soon, probably something at least Halloween-adjacent, because VP absolutely loves doing Halloween stuff. Their October release is pretty much always Halloween themed, but last September we got Mountain King, which is kind-of sort-of Halloween-ish and also is maybe the best thing they've ever done.

Geoff's rendition of _Folsom Prison Blues_ also has him acting and reacting to his other selves throughout the video. It makes it feel more like 4 people singing together, even if they are all wearing the same face.

Geoff is amazing. To hear his full range, I would recommend Shenandoah or Voiceplay's Little Mermaid medley. My favorite example of his low range is Voiceplay's Skyrim cover.

If you think this is his best video with different characters, then check out "FAR OVER THE MISTY MOUNTAINS COLD". You should see or hear his 2 octave jump capability, you can see this in the Voiceplay's "Hoist the Colours"

If you want to enjoy Geoff's great humor and different characters, you have to listen to Monster Mash.

Thanks for reacting to Geoff again! Would love to see your reaction to his version of Shenandoah.

Ain't No Sunshine is my fave Geoff cover.... For VP I would suggest Hoist the Colours, but you can't go wrong really 😊

Geoff's characters develop in way on down. He plays with all the different ways reactors have pronounced "Geoff" by giving them names. His vocals on that are incredible!

If you want to see Geoff’s personality and sense of humor coming through, watch Way Down. He’s such a goof. First VoicePlay vid…well Halloween is coming… As a vocal teacher you will find a LOT to listen to in their Hall of the Mountain King. Their guest in that is jaw dropping. Hide And Seek is another good Halloweenish one, both do a good job of showing you their “theatre kids” side and their goofiness. (The second vid is based on Disney’s Haunted Mansion ride) Aside from Halloween, Valhalla Calling has some impressive performances from both Geoff and the group’s powerhouse tenor, Eli. (That is short for Eliezer, and pronounced like jelly without the J.) If you want more serious VoicePlay performances, then Nothing Else Matters, Seven Nation Army, Creep, and Dream On would be my top choices. (In no particular order)

Voice Play - Oogie Boogie, Valhalla Calling, and The Little Mermaid Medley (though honestly you could open their catalog, close your eyes and randomly click and you'd have a good one). In case no one told you, you should turn on captions. They always are fun with details.

For October, some excellent choices to listen to for Geoff is The Headless Horseman, Ghost Riders in the Sky, and Monster Mash. You really cant go wrong with any song hes covered. Of course, Geoff with Voiceplay has some excellent Halloween songs as well: Oogie Boogie Song, This is Halloween, and Kidnap the Sandy Claws. In the Hall of the Mountain King is a really fun song too.

you should also listen to "far over the misty mountains cold" and "black bird" both by Geoff

Voiceplay is so much fun, and soooo talented!!!😊

If you want fun try geoffs monster mash or the headless horseman or nightmare before Christmas .

Besides being an incredible vocalist, aranger and pretty easy on the eyes, Geoff is a great storyteller. A lot of the songs he has done I have heard all my life, but never paid attention to what the lyrics were trying to tell me. It’s the same for a lot of what VoicePlay has done. There’s something about the way that they approach the arrangements that breathe new life into old songs. This is one of my favorites for new people to react to because you get to see that he has a few different characters and that there’s a little interaction between them before you get befuddled by his “characters” in things like Misty Mountain (and one of my new favorites) I See Fire from Desolation of Smaug. In those he has indulged his theater nerd and appears as four of the dwarves in the Tolkien saga. To really see a good example of humor, try his cover of Elvis Presley’s Way Down. In that one, we finally get names assigned to the clones. He is known for often injecting “cm’on” and “yeah” in his solo pieces. He was born in Virginia and moved to Florida around the age of eight. A lot of his solo work has its roots in the south. His cover of Shenandoah is gorgeous. I know that people are going to recommend that you do Oogie Boogie from Nightmare before Christmas. It is one of my favorites, but please bear in mind that they’re pretty much all doing character voices. It does show a lot of the versatility and the end part by Geoff is pretty amazing, but don’t discount the other members of the group. VoicePlay has been performing professionally since 1997. Up until around 2010 they did use a different name for the group and had a lot of substitutions in those early years. The three originating members are Geoff, Layne Stein (originally the baritone and currently the beatboxer) and Earl who was their high tenor up until the year 2020. Around 2010, Eli (pronounced to rhyme with jelly) Jacobson joined as tenor. Most of the substitutions have been baritones. Tony Wakim was with them from 2010 to about 2017. When he left pursue other creative activities, they brought in J Nunn who was with them until 2021 when he left to sing with the Navy. He still comes back as a featured artist and has recently moved back to the East Coast. We are hoping we will see more of him. When J left they replaced him with Cesar de la Rosa, the baby of the group and nicknamed Mr. Sassy. They bring in featured artists to fill that fifth position and have done so since 2020. It gives them the chance to explore musical styles and numbers that they normally would not get to do. One of their most frequent collaborators is Rachel Potter who went to high school in the same area so has known them for a long time. She was a finalist on the X Factor while the guys were participating in the Sing Off. She has appeared with them about a dozen times. If you go to the credits you will always see who has done what. About 90 to 95% of the arrangements are done by Geoff and Layne, taking alternate months. Eli has collaborated with them at times and has done two arrangements on his own. The most recent one being their cover of Creep which was fantastic. Eli is also responsible for the lighting and often the digital backgrounds. The person who does the arrangement takes charge of the entire project from storyboard to venue, costumes and arranging for make up if elaborate. They do the video direction and editing and do the initial sound edits. They send it off for a final polish to Ed Boyer who does the mixing for most of the major a cappella groups. Geoff’s wife Kathy is a huge part of the group acting as manager and fixer of all things that need fixing. I really enjoy watching people’s reactions to them. It’s a bonus when the person has musical background and can explain something in laymans terms to those of us without the training. I’ll be interested to see what you think about some of their upcoming work. Halloween is by far their favorite holiday. They are the lords and kings of Halloween. Every year they put out something in conjunction with the season. They have done four pieces from Tim Burton‘s Nightmare before Christmas, they used Stevie Wonder’s Superstition as a nod to the season, as well as many others. Geoff also does a seasonal selection and has done so for the last two years.

I've listened to every KZfaq reaction to Geoff's Folsom Prison Blues and I See Fire. Plus, I've listened every reaction of Voice Play's Valhalla Calling, Nothing Else Matters and Drunken Sailor. The latter one is the funniest. I would say the first one would be the toughest for a vocal coach.

You really should check out his cover of Elvis Presley’s Way Down

One of my favorite Geoff covers is Misty Mountains Cold, but you should also check out his cover of the Beatles song "Blackbird"

Loved this reaction!!! Geoff is awesome. Lucy and Martha Thomas have a new duet out by the way 😉

If you’re ready for awesomeness, check out Voiceplay - Nothing else matters. Yes, they covered a Metallica song, and it might be their best song to date.

❤❤❤😊😊😊 Thank you for this!

His lowest note is a bO flat. You should do his Elvis cover of Way Down. It’s a fun video with a nice C1

Geoff has perfected interacting with his clones. He does it all the time now. He can also go a lot lower now. :) He likes sliding off notes too.

You have too watch voiceplay This is haloween Valhalla calling Kidnap sandy clause Littel mermaid We dont talk about Bruno

Check out his cover of Way Down by Elvis Presley!

Voiceplay and Oogie Boogie Song! And Hoist the colours!!!

I think IF I WERE A RICH MAN/GIRL would be good one from Voiceplay to start with. Not sure why, I just like it. A lot.

If you want to see Geoff's true innern dork come out, you must react to Way Down.

Geoff in VoicePlay too. Big bad John a song he does Way Down another he is great singer

You’ll love Oggie Boogie

Don't miss The Headless Horseman and Monster Mash for Halloween. My favorite Voiceplay is the Little Mermaid Medley.

Talk about layering! Try Peter Hollens ft.Tim Foust in 'Misty Mountains' It will defin. blow your mind.

I know this is a weird request, but if you like bass singing you need to listen to Tim Riley. He’s one of the best bass singers ever. He’s not well known because he sings gospel, but he is super talented

please reaction Putri Ariani STUNS with "I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For" by U2 | Qualifiers | AGT 2023

There are so many good Voice Play video, but for some reason, my mind always goes first to the Oogie Boogie song. But I do recommend their medelies from things like Little Mermaid or Moana, etc.

Geoff released a new track; Jack’s Lament… just sayin’

You got to check out the Oogie Boogie song if you haven't yet.

Try Steve n Seagulls Thunderstruck

PUTRI ARIANI - I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For by U2 she on agt live show now hear what simon says to putri

you probably won't see this comment, but if you do - you should check out his take on Monster Mash since it's October. 🙂

Nice reaction, next please react When you tell me that you love me (diana rose) cover by Vanny Vabiola. Thanks so much

She said it’s so fine. Me thins he is so fine

Try Geoff's God rest ye merry gentlemen it's different or if you want comedy Geoff and Voice play's Oogie Boogie song

Her soul is going to leave her body 😂

please check out i see fire

This is a fun song. However, this IA a true story. Back then coal companies didn't pay their miners in American money, they made their own company cash. Which couldn't be used anywhere except the company store. So even if the miner save thousands of dollars in company money 💰 they couldn't leave bcuz their money was worthless everywhere else in the US.

I'm surprised at a vocal coach bobbing her head OFF the beat...

No super funny, best you know..

What world you live? Lady 🤦‍♂️ (smart burble)..

Stop pausing the video.

Okay you have officially paused the video way too much I'm now closing your video and the officially never coming into your channel again.
