Finnish Vocal Coach Reacts: VoicePlay: Oogie Boogie's Song (SUBS) // Äänikoutsi Reagoi 

Love it, love the reaction. I've seen the MV and other reactions before, but I love your breakdown and the wee trails of blood at the corners of your mouth to go with it LOL Thanks!

Wait until she stumbles into Geoffs "Misty Mountains Cold" arrangement lol.

You HAVE TO see their interpretation of the Pirates of the caribbean "Hoist the colors".. It's a masterpiece ! That was a great reaction, as usual !

One to listen to from Voiceplay is "Hoist the Colours" from the "Pirates of the Caribbean 3" movie. The harmonies and arrangement in that resulted in almost every reaction video with silence as they are left completely speechless by it. It's also worth listening to Geoff Castelucci singing "Misty Mountains Cold" from the Lord of the Rings movie. All parts are done by himself as is the video editing and mixing.

Ive got to say...love hearing you speak. I dont understand a bit of it. But i love it

VoicePlay is masterful at mixing silly and professional; it's kind of their schtick. And Geoff- the bass singer- has around a five octave range. The descent that he does at the end actually spans from B4 to a subharmonic E1 (and those are neither his highest nor his lowest notes). He really displays his range and versatility to great effect on his solo channel, where he performs songs in a 4 or 5 part harmony, using his vocals for all parts. The results are amazing. And VoicePlay- all of the other guys are just as talented as Geoff. At the time of this video, I think they had all (with the exception of J. None) been singing together for nearly 10 years (Geoff, Layne- the beatboxer, and Earl- the guy with the beard all grew up together and have been singing as a group since about 1997). But what I've noticed over the last year, as they've had gaps in their lineup and brought in feature artists, is that they are exceptionally skilled at blending with just about anyone. All of their features fit in seamlessly, as though they'd been with the group for ages.

Geoff defines himself like a bass baritone or bassitone , last note was an astounding subharmonic E1 . Brava ;)

I'm going to suggest you listen to Geoff castalucci solo (bass) singers covers, particularly his cover of 16 tonnes. His sub harmonics are really on display the there.

🤘🇫🇮 Nightwish army Finland 🐻👍

Geoff calls himself a Baritone, however his range extends from a subvocal B0, literally within steps of the end of a piano, all the way to e5. VP are as dedicated to Halloween as Pentatonix is to Christmas, and well worth watching. Wish you well, and happy Hallows Eve.

Voiceplay has really stepped up their game over the last year especially. My favorites are Hoist the Colours, Halo Theme Song and Warriors.

I'm sure someone has said this already, but just in case: Geoff (the lead) has a 5 octave range, and can hit a sustained (subharmonic, I think) B0. He's an incredible standout in a group of incredible singers. Also, the beatboxer is always (in this video, at least) on the far right. Hope to see you look at some of his individual songs, as well as more of VoicePlay's works overall! :)

Wow, never heard of Voiceplay before. They are great. Out of Orlando, FL I see. Loved your look Anna. And, as always, great insights into the music.

Thank you for showcasing a different group and genre again this week. Loved it, VoicePlay always go the extra mile for set designs, costumes and musical arrangements. Talented in all aspects..... vocals, set design, mixing, lighting and editing. Most if not all the work is done by them in house. Appreciate your comments as well, and the time you put forth on a weekly basis. We'll done Anna

I wonder how she would handle Misty Mountains Cold by Peter Hollens and Tim Foust

I’m here for the thumbnail 🙃

Geoff Castellucci, basso extraordinaire. 5+ octave range, has hit a B0 (in Voiceplay's new Halo Theme video). All of their stuff is very theatrical. Geoff and Layne (the beat boxer) do almost all of the arranging. Unusual for an acapella group to have a bass as their lead singer. Great reaction as always...

next one could be "My mother told me". Stay safe

Анна, возможно вам есть смысл поближе познакомиться с творчеством господина Кастеллуччи. Например, он сольно исполняет старинную песню "16 тонн", составляя при этом квартет с самим собой. Anna, perhaps it makes sense for you to get to know Mr. Castellucci's work better. For example, he performs the old song "16 tons" solo, while composing a quartet with himself.

Voisitko reagoida sellaseen biisiin kun: Ring of fire bändiltä Home Free

Geoff solo Black Bird is a must review

Wait until she hears Home Free 😁

Yeah Geoff Castellucci is freaking amazing. You should check out his solo stuff on his youtube channel. He does all the mixing arranging video editing harmonizing everything is his work its great.

Nexts react morissette amon - NEVER ENOUGH - SECRET LOVE SONG - AKIN KANA LANG - SHINE - AGAINST ALL ODDS Live Wish Bus 107.5 Morissette Amon thank you for reacting our QUEEN PHEONIX OF ASIA from the land of the PHILIPPINES Thank you coach

Find on yotube and react to these performances: "Amado Mio - Pink Martini ft. Storm Large | Live from Seattle - 2011" and "Până când nu te iubeam - Pink Martini ft. Storm Large | Live from Portland, Oregon - 2013" The vocals are simply exceptional !, even your experienced ear will not leave indifferent :)

"You got a little something on your mouth there, missy." Great analytical video as always. Your videos are a delight to watch always.

Anna, you must react to Dimash's Samaltau recent video. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-QnQbmB6KXME.html This is a Kazakh folk song originating in 1816 about a young conscripted soldier forced into the Russian Imperial army to fight in WWI. The story is about the young soldier marching away from his home toward Omsk to fight the Germans. Very sad song but great video.

I am really enjoying your videos! I have an interesting one for you by Beast in Black- Blind and Frozen (Official music video). They are a metal band that originated in Finland, so maybe you already do know them. The singer's vocal skills are very unique and they are worth checking out. Keep up the great work, Anna!

Hej Anna, I love watching your Analysis of musicvideos. Its a great pleasure and it makes me happy ! Thank;s Wolfgang

The Bass is Geoff, he has his own channel where he does some Solo performances that are really impressive. Voice Play tends to be more... produced? Like Exciting Videos.

Great reaction. Glad for subtitles, since I only know English and am learning Swedish.

I love your native language. The lead singer, Geoff Castellucci, does a version of The Monster Mash.

Geoff isn't just a great singer either. He does a lot of their arrangements and even does arrangements for other groups. You likely already know who Peter Hollens is (if not please react to something, _anything_ by him immediately) and Home Free is another accapella group like Voiceplay with a bass that, well Geoff and Tim Faust talk about each other positively and with admiration. Home Free's cover of the song 'Alvira' feat. the original artists, the Oak Ridge Boys' and Peter Hollens' cover of 'Misty Mountains Cold' feat. Tim Faust of Home Free were both arranged by Geoff.

Before this I was watching Faouzia and noticed you don't have a reaction to her. That is very hard to believe since she is so fabulous. Try this one: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-VaBRY6PYNLI.html

If you would like to react to a song, I recommend Aesthetic Perfection with the song Gods & Gold

Loved your reaction 😊, please do a review and reaction to Home Free they are also an Acapella band and they are amazing.. 😊

The guy who played Santa is geoffs brother-in-law

Thank you for reacting to and breaking down Voiceplay and Geoff Castellucci. Please do more of this group and Geoff individually.

Oih, Voiceplay! Heillä on paljon teatteri- ja elokuvamusiikkia. Musavideot tuppasi ennen olemaan aika tylsiä, mutta viime aikoina he ovat panostaneet puvustukseen ym enemmän. Esimerkiksi Karibian merirosvoelokuvista tuttu Hoist the Colours. Amerikanmaan a cappellan kolme kovaa: kantrikutoinen Home Free, poppahtava Pentatonix ja teatraalinen Voiceplay. Kaikki erittäin hyviä ja taitavia - suosikki määräytyy ehkä juurikin musiikkityylin perusteella. Itse kallistun vahvasti Home Freen puoleen. Mutkatonta mutta mainiota musisointia. Joka kappaleessa ei yritetä shokeerata kuulijaa, vaan mennään enemmän kappaleen kuin näyttämishalun ehdoilla. Ja voit valita minkä kappaleen tahansa, eikä valinta mene mene pieleen. Omia suosikkejani ovat Man of Constant Sorrow, Folsom Prison Blues (alkup Johnny Cash!), ja joulua lähestyttäessä Do You Hear What I Hear. Tiedän että tykkäät live-esityksistä.. yleisön kännyköillä kuvaamissa videoissa on yleensä surkea äänenlaatu, mutta Country Rebelin kanavalla on pari ihan hyvänlaatuista videota. Laitan linkin kommenttiin.

Check out Hoist the Colours, by Voiceplay.

Great reaction! There’s so much going on in this song I actually think reactors should run through it a couple times to pick out different parts. There’s a section where one (maybe more) of the background singers are doing these staccato arpeggios that are fabulous. Also Geoff, the lead and bass singer, does some really nice riffs in the background. It’s hard to appreciate it all going through just one time, but you nailed it on the best parts.

Ciao, it is again a beautiful reaction. They are all talented (two of that are not in the group now) and capable (able) to enjoy theirself and audience. Layne the beatboxer has many skills and a pretty good voice too To me, their best arranged cover is "IF I WERE A RICH MAN/GIRL | VoicePlay Feat. Ashley Diane" Cover of "Fiddler on the roof" song , but i can not remember a single performance that was not awesome. If you are not going to react to that song i suggest you to hear by yourself for fun because there are many interesting thing in there. I like to hear your voice when you are explaining techniques etc. Alla prossima 😃

🙃😊😁 love it..U look even more beautiful🤗💓🙏

Geoff Castelluci (the lead/bass here) has his own RU-vid channel where he does covers by himself. I would love to see you react to his cover of Misty Mountains Cold!

nyt kun on halloween tulossa niin kannattaa kuunnella tuon voiceplay:n bassolaulajan geoff casteluccin monster mash coveri

Geoff, bass, Layne, baritone and vocal percussion, and Earl, have been singing together since middle shcool, and are now around 40 yrs old, so a long time. Eli joined later. And J.None lataer still. To hear their normal voices try something like Can't Help Falling In Love, which shows them all off very well. To hear Geoff's range. try his cover of Blackbird.

If you like these guys you will like home free.

Hello beautiful Anna! Geoff has an amazing voice! Thank you dear, great reaction!🌹👏😲🥰🇷🇺

This was quite a good reaction indeed.

His solo cover of "House of the Rising Sun" is fantastic and worth checking out. Covers a good portion of his range.

The way you say Oogie Boogie is adorable.

first.. Anna, is that Moose blood! Next...I need to check out more of Voice Play! Dang! That Man has abilities! Thank you for intoducing me to this. Happy hunting. (you really should stop eating the moose heart raw)

Anna this made my day! It is not normally the kind of music I listen to, but they did a wonderful job and it was very funny. The lead singer does have a tremendous range. He reminds me of Mike Mills who has a 4 octave range. Your breakdown of the song was wonderful and it is great to see the joy on your face. However, you did not tell me you were a Vampire!! Now I am scared lol!😀 Now I am going to try to say something in Finnish. I used a translator, so if it is wrong it is not my fault! Monia halauksia Mikelta Chicagossa🤘🤘

So nice to see you again Anna. Was immensely curious if the scary blood was a photoshop or if you went full Vampire. Love the new look. HaHa.

With this song all waiting full of excitement for Halloween, coming up, 31th this month ..... Spooky, funny, Urghh 👻☠ ....... Winter and Santa are nearby, feeling already the vibes of the Scandinavian northern lights in your vains right now? Anna, happy Halloween 😉😜 ....

I really enjoyed your reaction. I think you would like their version of Halo or If I Were a Rich Man. But my favorite is Carry on my Wayward Son. Thank you for the analysis. I enjoyed it. And that you did the vampire skit!

There is a live version out there.

Looks like Anna ate up Nutella.

I enjoy watching music video reactions! And love what people have to say, I'm an American, and enjoy watching and listening to your reactions! And hearing your voice, your language! You're an attractive young woman!

Kiva nähdä suomalasenkin reaktio VoicePlayn tuotantoon. Itse olen tämän vuoden aikana hurahtanut siihen ja katsonut lukemattomat määrät reaktiovideoita. Ryhmän bassolla, Geoff Castelucci, on soolomateriaalia myös, mm. House of the rising sun, sixteen tons, ja viimeisin Halloween teeman mukaisesti Monster mash. Ja oma VoicePlayn suosikkini on ehdottomasti Hoist the colors!

She was speaking full on Finnish at the beginning, then the first chorus came along "Dayum this man has some range" 😂

It's clever, creative, and as you say, professionally performed. In spite of being a "Boogie Man/Creepy" theme, it doesn't get heavy & grungy with distortion. It has a light-hearted tone to it. Nothing seems to be "overdone." I also like those rhythmic adornments that move the different parts along. The lead singer has a beautiful low range timbre and wow! He also has a well-supported and controlled high range. I'd like to hear more of him. Anna...Again, your analysis and comments are so clear and well explained. You obviously are well-trained in music and vocal performance, and you have a great teaching style. Thanks for your reaction video work. Edifying and enjoyable.

VoicePlay on loputon kaivo, ei näistä saa tarpeekseen. Geoff Castellucci tekee bassocovereita omalle kanavalleen, suosittelen tutustumaan! Nyt, kun kuitenkin ollaan lähdetty a cappellan maailmaan niin haluan ehdottaa "Voctave - O Come, All Ye Faithful". En itse ole hengellinen ihminen, mutta arvostan upeita laulusuorituksia ja tuo sitä kyllä tarjoaa. Mielestäni kyseinen video ei ole saanut tarpeeksi huomiota reaktiovideoiden tekijöiltä, vaikka ansaitsisi sitä. Näkisin, että sinulla voisi olla kommentti jos toinenkin tähän!

The lead guy is Geoff, the bass. He has a chest range that goes from F1, to a G4, using subharmonics he gets down for a B0. in the higher register with mix, falsetto he can go up to a A5

I can’t wait till you react to their cover of “Friends on the other side” or any of Geoff’s solo work! 😍

Hej Hej.!! 👍🇵🇭

You failed!!! Even if you were eating with hogs, your nose in the mud, you would still look amazing Anna.

listen 2 HOIST THE COLOURS" FROM PIRATES OF CARRIBEAN FROM VOICEPLAY!!!!

Besides being in Voiceplay, Geoff Castellucci (baritone singer) has vocal range of 4 to 5 octaves has his own channel. There are many covers done by Geoff from Beatles' Blackbird to Monster Mash for Halloween. Voiceplay has new song for Halloween too

Another cover by the bass of this group is "13 Tons". It will blow you away. Also another group you need to cover is Home Free. VoicePlay competed against Home Free in 2014. I believe VoicePlay came in 3rd place behind Home Free. Maybe start with the cover of "Man of Constant Sorrow" that Home Free covers. Then they cover Boyz2Men's "End of the Road". These groups are all acapella. Man of Constant Sorrow: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE--ew_bfFvros.html Boyz2Men: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE--lCRFAFtj-A.html When a Man Loves a woman: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE--pygPmfGQvU.html

Yes Geoff Castellucci is one of the top 3 Acapella bass singers. The other 2 are Tim Foust of Home Free and Avi Kaplan formerly of Pentatonix ( he is now pursuing a solo career). Pentatonix are the clean cut "student council kids", VoicePlay are the "theater kids" and Home Free are the "4H Club kids ( the country/ farm kids)

Oh Anna! Your going to have so much enjoyment dissecting this performance. Pull up your boot straps everyone, we're going to learn about character voices and dramatic basso profondo, ie Geoff Castellucci. Love the thumbnail.....Brilliant!

I'm pretty new to Voiceplay myself but I recommend MY MOTHER TOLD ME

There is something so damn appealing about a RU-vid reactor talking to you, joking with you - simultaneously in both English and Finnish languages....

Anna looking to die for :-(= ... Happy Halloween! Muhahahahah 👀🦴💀👻 Ps: Simone Simons (epica) has a fun cover of the Halloween song. Enjoy;)

I hope the meal was to your liking mylady?

This is a great introduction to VoicePlay, and a lovely reaction to watch. I think you're the first reacter I've seen who was not surprised at the low note at the end. Geoff Castellucci is the bass, and he has his own RU-vid channel with some fantastic cover songs. I recommend Far Over The Misty Mountains Cold or Sixteen Tons to get started. VoicePlay have tons of great stuff on their channel too. Particularly fun is their medley of songs from The Little Mermaid. Or, for something completely different, please react to Blackbriar - Arms of the Ocean (acoustic live).

I love them. Geoff's range is 5 octaves from a growl at A0 or Ab0, subharmonics at B0, chest at F#1, top note at A5.

Another piece of music that exhibits Geoff Castellucci's deep base would be Voiceplay's "My Mother Told Me". His range is definitely amazing though...most people seem to agree that he can hit an E1 without difficulty...but then jump into a high tenor in his next breath. I'm not a singer by any stretch of the imagination, but I still find that amazing.

Here's a link to a live performance: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-_HwUxb-DDw4.html It's from 2019, but the newer one i found has *awful* video quality, so all you can make out is posture.

So you do appreciate acapella. This is another promo for Voctave. With 11 voices, Master arranger/founder Jamie Ray can achieve any sound he imagines but sometimes he wants to save all his instruments for the foundation and bring in featured artist from other groups. For the Disney Love Medely he invited Kirsten (from PTX) and her then-fiance/part time singer. This clip is from the first read-through with the guests. See how they react...it's special. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-rjZpz0EvnV8.html

You should definitely react to Geoff's rendition of "The Misty Mountains cold", a song taken from The Hobbit's first installment. Geoff did the arrangement and sang all vocal parts himself and I don't think I've heard a better version of that song.

VP is the... Very good. Check out some of Geoff's solo work (bass), he is the... Well you know.

I would love to watch you reacting to "The Poet And The Pendulum" live at Wembley,you will love it!

There are a few live performances of this on RU-vid - even if you don;'t make a video, you show check it out so you know what they are like live - it's still amazing. You will also love some of their other offerings like the Littlest Mermaid or Moana [guess I should go and see if you have already done those]

Joona Sotala.

❤️❤️❤️

Jotain sulla suupielessä :D Mä en tiedä mitä me katsottiin, mutta mainio reaktio oli. Kiitoksia :)

Thank you for a great reaction to Voice Play. The original was done in B&W with only one person dining all the parts. Voice Play gave all the henchman a separate roll to sing & made it more dramatic.

Amazing how little accent you have speaking English

the beatboxing is coming from guy with the scarf

Geoff is more than a good bass. He is a basso profundo, or so I'm told. He does have a 5+ octave range.

Geoff has a 5 octave range, which he uses apparently effortlessly.

I swear! I will make it on time for this one...I am sick of missing these premieres.

I don't know a single Finnish word but I was just vining to this reaction the whole time I think it might be time to bring duolingo back out and learn some Finnish

Aww, just missed the premiere, but lovely video and reaction! 🥰 Huh, some comments a day old, re-upload?

hank you for a very detailed and informative video reaction. I enjoyed it very much. VoicePlay has a lot of fun with holiday music videos. For future Halloween videos, may I suggest 2 ladies who sing and play the Harp. They are identical twins who call themselves the Harp Twins. They have a whole list of Halloween related videos on their You Tube Home page. Review it and see which song looks interesting to you. One last request, please avoid the sunlight.

You asked who is doing the beatboxing. That would be Layne. He is the guy with the glowing nose to the right in the shot (Who had the "To add a little spice"). He is founding member of voiceplay and does a lot of the production composition work. You should really do a reaction to voiceplay singing "My mother told me". It's a great chance to see the different members. And it's a repeating theme that they keep adding variations to throughout the song. It would be cool to hear you giving the play by play.

Btw, if you like harmonies and singers with great range, try Steam Powered Giraffe. Their song Honeybee is very good start. Fun band :)

If you wanna stay in the Halloween theme, maybe time for Dreamcatcher next week? 😍 There first music video starts of the Nightmare arc, a mysterious spooky story: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-zihoyz0u_cs.html
