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 :)
their oogie boogie song is awesome
daddy sang bass is great too
You should also hear their Moana Medley. Geoff's Tamatoa is awesome!
Can I second that recommendation?
I'm sure you've seen him, but Tim Foust too?
You definitely need to react to more Voiceplay, especially their cover of "Oogie Boogie's Song" from The Nightmare Before Christmas.
I was hoping all through October that Hannah would react to those songs. We love Geoff!
I just wanna see her face when Geoff hits that super low note at the end of Oogie Boogie.
definitely^^
yusss. It showcases Geoff's voice so well Hannah will lose her mind
@@katt9152 If you want a REAL showcase of Geoff's voice, try Blackbird from his own channel.
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
He ain’t bass btw
@@adam_c_edwards what do you mean?
@@orion351us At lease by Geoff's own opinion, he is extended baritone.
@@tatewakinew ahhhh
@@tatewakinew fair but he is the bass in this arrangement
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!!
Or God rest ye Merry gentlemen with it being Christmas
Oh Yes! Blackbird is powerful.
He’s not a bass singer though
Or 16 tons!
His song from the hobbit is AMAZING
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.
Hannah’s visible distress toward the end is so relatable. The group’s performance was truly amazing.
14:57 soul left her body 😂
VOICEPLAY IS SO UNDERRATED THEY'RE AMAZING
they have over a million supscribers on YT alone ... im pretty sure underrated goes the different route xD
@@Spike-xv1ts Too bad those one million subscribers (or even half) don't tune into all the videos... The Wicked medley really is underrated with under 200K views.
Underrated how….? Literally hundreds of thousands of views per video. Wtf
@@Spike-xv1ts I just think that they deserve more views because they're really talented. And everyone is talking about Pentatonix (love them as well) when they're talking about a capella but never really about Voiceplay
@@Hey_Jamie I just think that they deserve more views because they're really talented. And everyone is talking about Pentatonix (love them as well) when they're talking about a capella but never really about Voiceplay
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
let's not forget Phantom of the Opera!!! my favorite
Let's not forget she was on x-factor also
I believe She was also in wicker’s traveling cast (possibly as an understudy)
She was also Wednesday Addams on Broadway… she absolutely killed it there too. Was fortunate enough to sing with her on a cruise ship. Truly an amazing woman!
@@lc2341 Ohhhhhh! Yessss! With Tony! So Amazing! 💕
Fun fact: Rachel Potter (the one that sings Defying Gravity) was the understudy for Glinda on the Wicked tour!
Also was on X factor
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.
Not to mention Geoff's Sixteen Tons, Bare Necessities, Take Me Home Country Roads, or Mele Kalikimaka
And I'd add Voiceplay's Halo Theme, and My Mother Told Me. :-)
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
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.
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.
Yes! Finally more Voiceplay. Girl, you GOTTA watch more of their stuff, it's a delight.
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)
Can you please react to Voiceplay doing “friends on the other side” it’s an amazing arrangement
yes yes yes! this one was amazing!
The Bass singer is Geoff Castellucci and the one who sang wicked is Rachel Potter...
You mean the baritone
DO MORE VOICEPLAY!
THEY ARE SO WORTH IT!!
Their range! Their composition!
They are just so extremely joyful and talented ❤️❤️😍😍🌲❄️
Hannah, you MUST watch their cover of Oogie Boogie’s Song. It is a bass feature and a master class in character singing.
Second
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.
I personally enjoy Home Free and Voctave a lot.
The fact that Hannah gives us content even though she's sick ❤ everybody say thanks mom
Some real god tier energy from Hannah
LOVE Voiceplay "Hoist The Colours"! YOU NEED to see it!
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".
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
I firmly believe that no one in voiceplay is human
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.
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!!!
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
You should definitely react to some of Geoff’s individual songs. He’s beyond amazing
For Good gave me LITERAL GOOSEBUMPS omg those HARMONIES ugh i am constantly blown away by VoicePlay 😍
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 👏
I actually started crying at defying gravity. The beauty of that performance left me DYING and I, wha, hello? I don't know!
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.
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.
Yes!! I’ve replayed that cover so many times
You mean th baritone
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.
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.
Can we just take a moment to talk about how perfect she is?!🥺
Who? Hannah? Rachel? Emoni? bc all are true lmao
@@lc2341 Well I meant Hannah😂
We got Hanna's "So in awe she looks angry" face! Also no Geof is not.
they’re amazing wow
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 CZcams channel under Geoff Castellucci.
He’s not a bass
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
Geoff(baritone)
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.
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.
I am so happy that you did this one. It is amazing. You should do VoicePlay “ Hoist the colors”
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.
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.
Geoff Castellucci the bass singer of voiceplay does have his own channel where he does his own solo work and also does tutorial videos.
You mean the baritone singer right
Yeah Geoff is bass singer but he says he’s baritone singer.
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. ❤
Geoff(baritone)
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!
You mean the baritone
Following VOICEPLAY right now! Immediately, no delay.
Rachel potter (the one who sings defying gravity) was in X factor USA and the reality show of A Search for Elle Woods
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.
You absolutely have to watch their cover of phantom of the opera, it will blow you away
"No Ma'am, you are not getting away with that. Do it again!"
Sounds like a true teacher who is impressed haha
Voiceplays is such an amazing group
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.
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.)
I think he also speaks after VoicePlay's cover of "Oh Holy Night" on their channel
Voiceplays Hoist the Colors was so freaking awesome!!! Highly recommend
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.
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.
He ain’t a bass
For good is my favourite wicked song. Loved seeing an new a spectacular version of it.
I love Rachel Potter - I actually got to see her on Broadway in Evita. She has a phenomenal voice.
Oh that’s awesome so jealous!
The big 3 are VoicePlay, Pentatonix and Home Free but there are some coming down the pike, Voctave - EJ Cardona occasionally sings as featured artist with VoicePlay, and the Bass Gang, which is a group of basses. Peter Barber has a degree in music (don't know which field) and is an opera singer. He also does reactions and analyses on all the acapella groups and is branching out. The Bass Gang just did a group of 4 releases, Mad World, Iris, Centuries, Emperor's Clothes plus another the Peter Barber arranged Yellow Flicker Beat from the 3rd movie in the Hunger Games.
Yessss please more Voiceplay! I would recommend Oogie Boogie, If I Were a Rich Man/Girl, and Hoist the Colors.
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.
I know what you're speaking of concerning music stirring a huge emotional response. Dad, and sister played violin, big brother played the picalo, Mom and same sister played piano. I finally began piano lessons at 7yo, then accordion at 12yo, taught myself on a Hammond Church organ at 19yo. I just turned 80yo, and being disabled, I still sweat through my eyes at a great piece of music performed well by anyone. Instrumental, choral, individual or group and most genres. Loved your evaluation and attitude even though you're not feeling the best❗🤗
SAME!!!! I love that we geek out over the same things! I have cried over up beat barbershop songs because the harmonies were so amazing.
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...
He ain’t a true bass though
Geoff is one of the most well rounded voices I've ever heard.
VOICEPLAY IS AMAZING
I will never get tired of watching reactors' brains melting while listening to Voiceplay.
I have watched your reaction to this song about 3 times now. And the song is incredible, for sure. No doubt. But what is just as amazing is getting to see someone geek out to songs as much as I do. I too get emotional during beautiful songs no matter if they are meant to be sad or not. I love how you take the time to point out those extra special places/ parts and break it down to why they were special. There are a LOT of people that make reaction videos, and you are by far my favorite to watch. Keep it going girl!
I’m with you. I feel music to my core and am easily and so willingly swayed by it!
This medley is such a bop! Love Wicked
This medley is a ride! Voice play and Rachel Potter are such a great mix plus the other two guests just *chef’s kiss*
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.
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!!
yes!!!
This was awesome!!! I was in tears from the time "For Good" started til the end!!
Voiceplay - Hoist the Colours. Was released a few months ago. Friends on the Other Side is great too. Ok anything by them is great, no exagerration. Voiceplay is a deep, deep rabbit hole. Geoff Castelluci (Bassist) also does marvellous Solo Work - Sixteen Tons, Monster Mash, lately God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen.
I’ve seen Voiceplay live probably 6-7 years ago. They’re amazing
Yes I recommend this because the level of iconic this video is vocally and visually plus Hannah! I mean come in so exciting. 💜
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!
Kill the witch part has that perfect dramatic ambience it’s so spine chilling
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!
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.
You should also react to their version of The Grinch, as well as Hoist the Colors
The Grinch would be a great Christmas Time reaction.
YAAASSSS!! I also had goose bumps and tears. My fave song from Wicked is For Good, and the transition into this was amazing! When I first heard an a capella quartet sing this song, I think was the first prompt that made me join an a capella chorus to sing..... and of course Defying gravity in this arrangement was next level. I LOVED this so much! I saw Wicked the musical live on N.Y. Broadway and I thank you Hannah for introducing me to this Best arrangement of a Wicked medley ever! Get well soon, be kind to your gorgeous voice. xx
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
So, watching/hearing this for the first time with you.... and omg... holy crap!
Same…. All I can say is WOW!
please please PLEASE react to "Hoist the Colours" by Voiceplay it really shows off everything this group can do!
I love How When Going into Define Gravity Rachel takes a few steps and you can see her get ready to go full into it with everything she got
VoicePlay's version of "My Shot" from Hamilton is amazing from 5+ years ago. Geoff has short hair and their are two different members (Earl and Tony).
alright, I'm at the 2 minute-mind-blown-mark... *going to follow Voiceplay now*
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*
The Doo Wop Shop’s Disney Medley from literally 12 years ago is one of the most fun Acapella Medleys I’ve heard. Especially considering it’s recorded with a random video recorder in a classroom.
I'm glad I'm not the only one teary eyed
I love Rachel’s voice 🤩 she is super talented
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
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
you just embody how i feel inside about music. just absolutely speechless and amazed by the talent these beautiful humans have
