Geoff Castellucci - I SEE FIRE (REACTION) 

Oh my, your incredible looks caught me by surprise. Just like my new song will catch you by surprise! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-rUOuk6RU4u0.html

I've said this before, but I swear geoff is gonna put out a song some day that no one can hear bc it will be so low 😂 he just keeps outdoing himself and it's incredible 💜

Everyone: you can't form an accapela group composed of bass. Geoff: sit down rookie, watch this.

We get to hear a good sample of his higher range here. Although I love his bassy goodness, it was the bari-tenor and tenor that did me in on this. His acting really added a lot to this. The way Thorin looks over at his “troops” is so melancholy. Eli, VoicePlay’s rock god, arranged and synched the lights so Kathy could run them the next day. She and makeup genius Rick were the only crew that day. The credits in the description always list everyone. The video was filmed at PattyCake Productions, co-owned by Layne, VoicePlay’s beatboxer. The rest was Geoff- arrangement, storyboard, editing. Ed Boyer did the final mix, as he does for Home Free and PTX. By the way, you are not the first one to call Geoff Father. Cesar, VoicePlay’s baritenor, calls Kathy and Geoff mom and dad. ❤

I can't explain why, but this song makes me feel so emotional. It's not the words. I can't even tell you what the words are. It just feels so hopeless.

He doesn't usually showcase his tenor voice, it's usually just part of the harmony with an occasional spotlight. This was just amazing! The costumes were used in Misty Mountains, with some embellishments this time including the weaponry. Your face was so expressive while you were reacting, so much fun to watch! Voiceplay drops a new one on Friday, June 16.

Geoff is the “One-Man Boyband.” 😁 Your facial expressions are epic. 🫶🏻

The fabulous lighting in this was done by Eli Jacobson, VoicePlay's tenor, BTW, and I agree it was spot on (heh. Pun unintended). Geoff also sings an extended higher range section in his cover of "White Christmas," which he did this last December. I love how he, and all of VoicePlay, continually work on their craft, and stretch their boundaries, so that each new song is their best one yet.

I love that you listen to it first without pausing and *react* to it instead of commenting on it the first time, alot of reaction channels do not do this, they can be very good reaction channels still but it's unfortunate that they don't just listen. I LOVE that you use a notepad so you can write stuff down(I assume that's what you're doing at least) and come back to it.

This is a sequel to Misty Mountains. This cover is just absolutely amazing, and I cried while listening to Geoff's cover. He just continues to completely outdo himself with every song, and I am here for it! Loved your reaction!!

There is another 4-Geoff production that you might enjoy totally unrelated to The Hobbit or Lord of the Rings. It's called The Monster Mash. The song came out probably 50 years ago and was played during Halloween season on the radio. Geoff personifies the various characters and it's a fun one. You might want to wait until Halloween season - Voiceplay has several Halloween themed covers as well.

The surprised look on your face was priceless. Geoff has an amazing tenor voice. These Acapella bass singers are very talented. Tim Foust and Avi Kaplan have amazing range as well. I suppose your ready for Homefree’s version of Mayday

04:00 Loved your reaction when Geoff went full-tenor on this one! Such an amazing rendition of this song! Music box! I'm sooo glad someone else mentioned that for the solo piano playing during the 2nd chorus! That piano line, from the moment I first heard the song, always makes me think of a music box - which is in such contrast to both the music of the song, and the lyrics of the song, that it kind of freaked me out a little the first time I heard it.

Geoff is a delight! I think so many of us crave a bass vocal and it's almost nowhere in mainstream music.

I am enjoying this spectacular video even more just watching your face in an awe state...to see you quietly taking in all of this amazing man's voice talent is a bonus for me. Geoff has so much to offer, and you need to explore a bit more. It's lovely to see one musician enjoying another's performance...❤

I read in a comment that Geoff actually considers himself a baritone that can go really low.. actually it might have been he's more comfortable in the baritone range. I actually think it was the former not the latter. . In any event he is so talented and so amazing. I subscribed to your channel after one of your reactions I watch at least one of your everyday. I really like how you break down the beatboxers. I would like to put in a request for Pentatonix prayers for this world. I saw them last year in concert and they do sound the same. There are videos from the show at the Hollywood Bowl. I will be going to watch them again in September. My other request is Home Free listen to the music which is a cover of the Doobie Brothers. And in a school girl's voice and not to be weird or creepy but I have a little crush on you. that actually makes me blush when I say it

Far Over The Misty Mountains Cold.

I have been a Geoff and Voiceplay fan since I first saw them on the Sing Off on TV in 2012. They came in second place to Home Free that year. I think this is Geoff’s best solo production to date! That opening line is amazing. This is a beautiful song and does this ever show his range! Thanks Anthony!

His tenor range takes a few people by surprise. These are dwarves, reprised from Geoff's Over The Misty Mountains Cold, And all available to do this! :) Costumes and makeup much the same but this tine he gives them all a voice. This one is from The Desolation of Smaug vut wasn't heard during the film but plays over the credits. Another way to hear a lot of Geoff's range is his cover of Blackbird. A lot of people new to Geoff do wonder if he has three or four brothers, he does it so well. His Shenandoah is especially good in that respect. He's so lovely and always appreciative of his supporters and fans.

Perfect. If this is Geoff's best song, THIS here is YOUR best reaction I ever enjoyed. Exactly your professional insights concerning sounds in the background and everything else you talked about. Perfect for me. 🎉😊❤

Tears every time I hear this! And goosebumps all over my body. The way he sings this makes you FEEL the song, every emotion... just absolute PERFECTION!

If you want more tenor Geoff, his covers of Shenandoah and High And Dry probably have the most full tenor lead parts.

The way he used the strings and the piano made the vocals show more emotion.

My favorite Ed Sheeran song! This is an amazing cover! Thanks for your reaction. We can see the different emotions moving through you and it’s great!

There's a bit of a reason why the 'Thorin' Geoff reminded you of "Valhalla Calling" - the same coat is used there, although it is Layne that wears it in 'Valhalla' & in "My Mother Told Me". Geoff DOES wear it as Thorin in 'Misty Mountains'. And I'm pretty sure Eli wears it in "Hall of the Mountain King" They do dress it differently, so it isn't obvious. I can only recognize it by the pattern on the one sleeve. And I love that you now have named Thorin Geoff as 'Father', I'm guessing that at least one of the other dwarves portrayed is Filli (braided mustache) who would be a nephew. I've been thinking of Thorin Geoff as 'King' in my mind. Very nice reaction. It is so interesting to get a more informative reaction. I always love your comments about the production process and other bits of your knowledge. Now I'm off to hopefully watch "Self Reflection". That snippet at the beginning of this looked really good. I'm guessing the full video is also here.

Soooo smooooth, this is beautiful, my goodness the bAayayaysss, harmonizing...Play again, let's go. I love this...👊🙂☝️🖼☝️🎇😌

I love your enthusiastic reactions to Geoff and Voiceplay. I enjoy your music as well! Very impressive.

🩸🩸🩸🩸🔸️ Bravo Anthony ... for giving this gem from Geoff the time it deserves. It is a stunning performance, and I like your reaction and insight. 🔸️🩸🩸🩸🩸🔸️🩸🩸🩸🩸🔸️🩸🩸🩸🩸

Haha I literally posted a comment earlier saying you should react to this and then I see this come up on my feed, perfect timing I guess xD

Thank you for all you do!

He killed as usual! I do go crazy for him! Fire again ,good reaction from you.😊

Yeah, all four of the costumes in this video are the same four costumes he wore in his video for 'Far Over The Misty Mountains Cold'. Same beards, too. :)

This is my favourite reaction. Your appreciation is so sincere.

The little moments of disbelief. priceless!

very nice reaction. definitely you should hear his old cover of " High and Dry "

Too many reactors said he couldn’t sing tenor without layering it and he said “I’ll show you all”😂 I’m not a huge fan of this song cuz I’m not into the LOTR (no shade) but I am a huge fan of Geoff proving haters wrong 😆🙌

Desolation comes from the sky... Smaug the dragon was also known as Desolation. This was their song going into the final battle to kill Smaug. Every time there is a huge fire like those in Canada now I think of this song.

Amazing harmonies! I see fire!

I love your reactions! Keep it up and I will continue to support you! Your are a very nice guy ;) Amazing!

Thx - U have a beutiful Voice to - G is amazing and so is Ur reaction 🤘🏻💓

Geoff hits D6 in voiceplays cover of "enemy" btw. The man can sing anything.

Best reaction to this video I’ve seen. Watch the whole video through and then comment as opposed to stopping the video every few seconds to comment.

💯🔥🔥💣💣👀👀 Wow!!!!

One of the best things about Geoff is the hard work he’s put in to sounding this smooth and rich throughout his entire range. So often people get kind of strained at the high or low end. Maybe he does, too and just doesn’t include those highest and lowest notes in his solos, but dang, he never sounds like he’s reaching, and he always sounds super silky. Those slides are getting super smooth as well-in some earlier songs you can hear the break between registers more clearly. The man doesn’t just have this amazing talent but he doesn’t just rest on that-he works at making it as good as it can get. Your reactions are SO fun!!

Geoff's cover of The Beatles "Blackbird" is a don't miss

By the way, Eli (voiceplay’s tenor) does the lighting for a lot of Geoff’s music as well.

Geoff's version is sung in a way the lyrics should sound. Very sad. The same with his cover of Sounds Of Silence. He has a way of reaching deep down into your soul. Geoff is a musical genius and understands musical theory beautifully. He as well as Voice Play do their own initial mixing and send it off to Ed on for the final.

Back in the 90's I worked at a K-mart on Oahu. I was from Cali origionally. I had a customer looking for something, and was trying to find a manager that could help her as it wasn't in my department. Just as I found the manager and was telling her about it, the same customer walks up, and I said, "Oh, speak of the devil!" and was fired on the spot for calling the customer Satan. Apparently neither of them had ever heard anyone use that phrase, ever and Google wasn't a think yet so... I had nobody to back me up. OG Karens.

Frohe Weihnachten, Geoff wünsche ich dir und deiner Familie🌲😍 Das Weihnachtslied von dir, ist ein schöner Klassiker. Vielen ,vielen Dank,

Watching your amazing reaction now for the third time, I just thought, it would be so cool, to find you analyzing the new videos of Voiceplay and Geoff

Thank you for a very insightful, informative reaction.

I really like your reactions. I just keep coming back for more! 😍

Love your reactions,especially when you do my favorites Voiceplay, Felt and Angelina Jordan. I also think you have a wonderful tone and sound.

Amazing song, great reaction

i get you if your mouth stays open, geoff is amazing you just gotta love him ❤I recommend the song "'Blackbird" cover by the Beatles!!! You're doing well, by the way, and I see you're talented too 🤩🫶👍

I don't understand how he keeps it doing himself so much. And Eli's skill with lighting. And he's the one adding in the fire sound as well.

This one, which is a sequel of "Far over the Misty Mountains cold" (same characters, same costumes - just some weaponry added and some details), goes down deep in my soul and make some of the deepest strings of it resonate so powerfully that I can't help crying. EVERY TIME. Now, Misty Mountains was from the first movie of the Trilogy, this one from the second... May I just wish that there will be another one from the third? 😇 Really enjoyed your reaction. You watch and analyse it from a viewpoint that is unknown to me, so I learn a lot. Thank you! 🙂 See you next time.

Geoff is a beast!

Im absolutely in love with this song, but this rendition has left me Speechless!! Thankyou Anthony Ray, wonderful reaction.

Thanks for another wonderful analysis and reaction! Aside from his range and beautiful singing he does the arrangement and editing on his own with assistance from his wife and production manager, Kathy, who is also production manager for Voice Play. Kathy Castellucci also does some of the work on costumes as does Tony Wakim, former baritone singer and co-owner of PattCake Productions. Voice Play's Eli Jacobson (bald, rock tenor) does the lighting and special effects. So much talent here!

I always go to my group/solo artist first, watch it, comment, then start looking for my reactors so I can watch you just have the same experience I had with the added advantage of your commentary. This is stunning and Geoff's production values just keep going up!

1:19 bro became lifeless in the face of the mythical mountain bass

I love your reaction of this video Anthony.

Just a funny note Ceasar calls him big daddy! Lol😊

I loved your reaction. I love watching your music yourself as well you are great and I appreciate your content, both your reactions and your original songs are FIRE!

Geoff did a version of Radiohead’s “High & Dry” that is just him singing and playing keyboards. It shows his vocal range so well. Beautiful arrangement sung by an extraordinary talent!

Check out his cover of “Blackbird” by the Beatles. He also has a Motörhead cover that is amazing!

He said he able to assemble all the singers from Misty Mountain

Awesome!

He has an Amazing range - sometimes he uses the lowest base just for- some times he should not. Thx for the reaction 👏🏻🤘🏻check out ”theres no sunshine when she’s gone”. 😉

Amazing 🤩

Your an amazing singer

This song brings tears to my every time as the images of what the dragon is doing as they sing their death dirge. The music always sounded like wings pumping in the back ground the deep deadly sound of the wings up and hitting low. The deadly shadow think of not being able to do anything but watch your friends and family be burned alive, eaten or drop from the sky by that deadly greedy Smaug dragon. Greed begets Greed in this deadly moment. All you can do is accept the inevitable of a horrific death. Smaug came because of the massive amount of gold and gems the dwarves had collected never happy with what they had. In the end Smaugs Greed was his demise by the greed of all races. Fabulous version he holds the tremble of fear in his voice along with acceptance of it all. I think it is now my absolute favorite.

And can we appreciate Geoff's piano playing as well.

Amazing

You should watch Sixteen Tones from Geoff. It's my favorite of his! 😊

Should check out Peter Hollens version of this song, he is also incredible. There is a reason so many people do songs with him!

Geoff is 43 jaar en ik volg hem van het begin. Je moet 10 jaar terug gaan.😊

See geoff's solo cover of The Sound of Silence.

Ur song... self reflection......is the shiznit!!!!!!!!

I love this so much. Peter Hollins does a good cover of this also. You mentioned Misty Moutain. Tim Foust and Peter Hollins did an epic cover of it.

Geoff did a version of High and Dry, it's the best showcase for what an incredible range he has

Great reaction sir!!

Geoff's wife, Kathy did the costumes and weapons. This is stunning and the productions are just getting better and better. I thought you did an excellent job convincing her that they were really brothers.

Love the outfit Anthony!

Didn't you know ? They are quadruplets like you said. The names of the other three are Jeff, Jeoph and Goff. See their cover of Elvis' Way Down for evidence.

I love your facial reactions. 😮

Is it just me or is your regular voice getting deeper the more you listen to Geoff and VoicePlay? ;)

Wow, Geoff zijn stem is op een nieuw level. Ik wist dat hij 4 octaven haalt, maar ik wist niet dat ze nu zelfs een eigen karakter/gevoel/helderheid hebben. Btw natuurlijk is er geedit aan de stemmen, maar dat is maar voor een klein gedeelte. Hij speelt zelf de piano.

Great video reaction

Have you heard his cover of Sound of Silence? Much of it is higher too.

Have you seen Putri Ariani from Indonesia? She's got the golden buzzer from Simon Cowell at AGT 2023. Please check out.

nice reaction man

He’s back?!? He never left

I've heard you Question on several of your Reactions About Whoever does the production Or editing dtc. Geoff and Layne Alternate Every other month. And Voice Play Does Everything Except the final edit. They decided it was just easier to do it themselves. Geoff Mentions this I'm several of his Shorts And Interviews. Geoff Does all of his own Arrangements.

You should do ain’t no sunshine, and 16 tons by Geoff if you haven’t already

You should listen to high and dry by Geoff if you want to hear all of his high range. 🥴

You should do big bad john

All four characters and voice are Geoff. He does all his own arrangements, piano, etc, etc, etc.............He has a five OCTAVE RANGE, not including his falsetto!

Ive. Said it b4. U rock. I like "do u know who i am
