Theatre Kid Reacts to Oogie Boogie's Song by VoicePlay 

New Voiceplay reaction! Theatre Kid Reacts To Wicked A Cappella Medley | A Chance To Fly | VoicePlay ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-3E8DUn4Fn_A.html

Basically, with Geoff, it's "What is your range?" and Geoff answers, "Yes."

One thing I would recommend, if you are going to start doing more a cappella reactions, is to get a good set of headphones. It's easy to miss a lot of the deeper notes without them; most speakers don't really carry them over well. I couldn't quite tell if you heard Geoff's final note, a subharmonic E1 that is almost a rumble. VoicePlay is terrific; I hope you'll keep watching them. Also, Geoff has his own solo channel, and while he doesn't do a cappella there (he uses minimal instrumentation for his covers), but he multitracks his voice, and with a 5 octave range, that gives him a lot to work with! I don't think there's a bad track on either his, or VoicePlay's, channel (of course, ymmv, but they haven't disappointed me yet).

There is what i call the trifecta of acapella: Pentatonix (the contemporary /pop side), Home Free (the country flavor), and Voice Play (the theater kids of acapella, lots of costumes etc ) You can not lose with any Voice Play song or any of the big 3. Also... they all first broke onto the scene via the NBC show The Sing Off. The bass Geoff Castelucci has crazy skills and covers his own. His range is crazy e0 to f5 I believe.

Catch Friends On the Other Side for another one of these--and it's even better. They are all characters from the movie. The bass is Geoff Castellucci and he has a five octave range including subharmonics.

You should check out their cover of Hoist the Colours next!

I don't know the film myself but I believe that Layne (vocal percussion) is representing the dog in the film. Earl with high voice, does sing high tenor a lot in their videos but if you'd like to hear his "normal" voice, try one he did with just Geoff (bass with a 5 octave range) which is Death of a Bachelor. Two beautiful voices, acapella. Another fun one from the same film as this is Kidnap the Sandy Claws, a lot of fun.

Here to reiterate that if you do any more a capella reactions (specifically voiceplay because they are my favorite) get a decent set of headphones, because there is SO much going on vocally that can be missed even with the best set of desktop speakers.

Loved your reaction. Try Voiceplay's cover of "Hoist the Colours" and "If I Were a Rich Man/Girl".

Voiceplay is amazing! I am a metal fan but I am also a voiceplay fan as well. They are my favourite group for sure. Great reaction. More voiceplay would be awesome!

"He has such a deep voice!" .....Just wait.

Commenting before watching to say: I always LOVE seeing people react to a capella groups for the first time!

Check out Hoist The Colors by Voiceplay you will love it : P

Glad you had the captions on to catch that fun tidbit [Subterranean] at the end lol

The bit at the end was This is Halloween by the same group. Please check that out. It's a real treat.

What I love about VoicePlay is their creativity and flexibility. Geoff is the bass, but he has a five octave range and all of it is luscious. He also steps in on the beatboxing from time to time... while Layne, the beatbox, has a sweet, sweet baritone. And on and on.... Geoff and Layne divide up most of the arrangements, and who ever does the arrangement usually does the video too. And they do most of their own editing.... so whatever you see from them, it's truly the group pulling together the ideas and executing on the performance. Every Halloween both VoicePlay and Geoff release a holiday song, so there's lots to go through and it's all good.

This is honestly more what I expected when I first came to your channel. Much more theatrical. ;-) You can sing like that. Hell, you're very good now. Practice 4 hours a day for years. Will you be able to sing bass? No, but you'll master what your physical tools are capable of.

This was a fun watch!!! A Capella isn't what I'm into, but it always amazes me with the range and sound effects these people are able to perform! Cute and quirky as always, Charis❤ your laugh and smile always warm my heart! Love, your #1 Simp, Ghost Dad 😘

“And now with your permission, I’m going to do my stuff.” Santa: “I don’t give you permission.” Oogie: “Well shit…..”

You should try hearing Home Free. They're a male acapella group similar to Pentatonix. I like their rendition of Man of constant sorrow.

I really liked your reaction!

This is from the movie "The Nightmare Before Christmas" and members are dressed up as characters from the movie. I, too, recommend good headphones. It will make a huge difference. You completely missed Geoff's (Oogie Boogie) huge range. He has a five octave range and you can not really appreciate it without headphones. And if you want to do more a capella I recommend: Voice Play (Hoist the Colors, the Halo Theme); Home Free (Man of Constant Sorrow, End of the Road), Pentatonix (which you mentioned) (Bohemian Rhapsody, Sing (original)), Voctave (totally different from the other groups--recommend highly the Disney Princess Medley, The Great Movie Medley (honoring John Williams), and Peter Hollens (The Disney Villain Medley with Whitney Avalon; and Misty Mountain from "The Hobbit" with Tim Foust--bass from Home Free). I think you'll be completely amazed by all these folks.

This was great!

The high tenor isn't *always* the big guy with the bushy beard. Every once in a while, it's Mitch Grassi.

I am going to sub in hopes that I see more reactions to VoicePlay "Ok you caught me I meant reactions to Geoff and his 4+ octive range." As others have mentioned you NEED to get a decent pair of headphones to really appreciate the talent here. keep it up and good luck ill be watching.

Yes it would be really good to react to voice play. They are amazingly talented!

Thank you for your reaction. Voice Play are known as The Theater Kids. They do a lot of Disney songs. They are a very theatrical acapella group. They worked doing shows at Disney.

Voiceplay is considered the theater kids in the a capella world. You really need to check out more of them.

Romper, dress - whatever it is, you rock it.

You were already familiar with PTX. Now, you're introduced to VP. The third group of the a cappella trifecta is Home Free. Check out at least one of theirs before you start down all three rabbit holes. HF's cover of "Man of Constant Sorrow" is a good starting point. Their cover of "When a Man Loves a Woman" (original by Percy Sledge, 1966) is a show-stopper, and there are many other good places to begin. (The only place NOT to begin is HF's cover of "Mayday" by Cam. It's great...but best if you wait.) Enjoy!

Hey everyone I just uploaded a video of Geoff teaching me to sing Bass! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-WYAEfUBRF_M.html

I guess it went right over your head that Geoff sang an E1 note there at the end. A note that maybe only a half dozen men in the world can hit.

4:56 Rob Lindquist of the country themed acappela group Home Free also fits your theory. Incidentally please react to something by Home Free. There are a lot of great videos to choose from though I _don't_ recommend their cover of 'Mayday' by CAM until you know them. The group does something surprising in that video that people new to them will miss. As for suggestions, just about anything will do, look over your options as you like. Personally I'd recommend on of their their covers of 'Die A Happy Man', 'Some Girls Do', 'Thank God I'ma Country Boy' or one of their original songs, 'Champaign Taste On A Beer Budget' and 'Why Not.' (They take turns singing lead, each song typically heavily featuring one of them. Rob Lindquist sings lead in 'Why Not')

VoicePlay released their Friends On The Other Side cover from the Frog and the Prince, it's great...

VoicePlay is my favorite and if you react to more of their stuff you will get a lot of Acapella fans following you.

For far and beyond theatrics, check out their You're a Mean One Mr Grinsch video.

I take it you have never seen The Nightmare Before Christmas? You will understand the characters Voice Play portrays in these videos.

The "rudolph" is supposed to be Jack Skellington's dog, Zero.

My favorite covers by Voice play are their Halo theme and Skyrim theme(Dragon born comes), partly due to me playing both of those games, lol.

They've done a few things with Rachel Potter, such The Grinch who Stole Christmas, but for two more Halloween I suggest Grim Grinning Ghosts and of course This is Halloween. On their own, Home Free, PTX and Voiceplay, they're all great rabbit holes to explore but together they constitute a Acapella sinkhole

After Seeing these I have expanded my vocal range to over 4 octaves and its amazing, as a Basso Cantante I can get up to a G5 in my headvoice but I could only go to about a C2 in my chest voice before I bottom out. Ive been practicing subharmonics, inhale, and growl for about a month now and I can get down to about an E1 in subharmonics D1 with growl, and B0 with inhale and chest fry, its so awesome. Subharmonics sound the cleanest but I am bad at them, I am actually fairly decent at growl but its very taxing on the voice, and once those notes bottom its just fry and I can make some cool low frequencies from there. I hope I can get my chest voice down to at least an A1 and get solid subharmonics like Geoff at some point because they sound so impressive when experienced singers do them.

Need more VoicePlay!

Yes, definitely get headphones, and I totally agree that you should also hear Hoist the Colours and If I Were A Rich Man/Girl (and Little Mermaid Medley, and pretty much everything else they do). Also, if you haven’t heard The Bass Gang yet, you should check them out. All basses (though a couple of them have significant range).

Voiceplay are known as the theatre kids of a Capella. Geoff (bass guy) has a 5+ octave range. They are friends with homefree…

They have alot of really good covers. My personal favorites are, can't help falling in love, carry on my wayward son, go the distance from the Disney movie Hercules, if I were a rich man from fiddler on the roof. But in my opinion their best covers is hoist the colors from one of the Pirates of the Caribbean movies. One of their best arrangements and some of their best harmonies. They have the moniker of the theater kids of the acapella groups. Hope you enjoy the rest of their works.

Try "If I Were a Rich Man/ Girl" by VP featuring Ashley Diane. It is a version of the song from Fiddler on the Roof. So it is theaterish, just on steroids.

Did you fall in your flower bed? Glad to see you enjoyed this.

The 3 top Acapella groups are very different personality-wise. Pentatonix is the student council kids...their Basso profundo Avi Kaplan is now pursuing a solo career and was replaced by Matt Sallee. VoicePlay is the theater kids with basso profundo Geoff Castellucci who has a 6 octave range. Home Free are the 4H Club kids having a tailgate party while prepping their calves, sheep etc for the county fair. Their Basso profundo is Tim Foust....their beat boxer Adam is magical

Metal, she says? You probably know these. If not? I recommend ye do. Obituary - Dying Carcass - Incarnated Solvent Abuse, Heartwork, Embodiment Death - Leprosy, The Philosopher Entombed - Left Hand Path. Massacre - Dawn of Eternity, Defeat Remains. Bolt-Thrower - World Eater 94, Cenotaph There are many rabbit-holes. They go deep. Try them all ;)

If you want a great Halloween song by Voice Play then please do a reaction video of Voice Plays version of Friends On The Other Side.

Let's see how it sounds. I understand this is pretty theatrical. That's Geoff with the deep voice, he's something of a phenomenon of his own. I basically liked it, it didn't blow my mind though. Geoff in particular, I've heard better from him. Great reaction!

This is from the Nightmare before Christmas. Voiceplay is amazing you should react to more. Also the bass Geoff Castellucci has his own channel with solo work.

This was the parody of the song from Tim Burton's "Nghtmare Before Skas". Have you every listened to PENTATONIX ??

Do carry on wayward son acapella of voiceplay! Man its good

Have you NEVER seen 'A Nightmare Before Christmas'? It's one of THE most iconic holiday movies of our generation!! (Assuming you're atleast in your 20's as well).

If you like unexpected high voices check out Pentatonix "Hallelujah".

Check out Geoff castellucci stuff like 16 tons, monster mash, headless horseman or misty mountains cold He has some of the best Sub-Harmonics I've heard

Hi - just found your channel! If you like the metal side, VP did an amazing cover of Metallica's Nothing Else Matters! 😊

I was going to say pretty dress but apparently it’s a romper!

Check out Pentatonix. Almost anything in their catalog will have a spot where you get to hear Mitch Grassi's tenor. We use a phrase called "Mitch-slapped" to describe the face reactors make when they first hear him. Hallelujah, Sound of Silence, or Come Along are good starting points, but you really can't go wrong with anything they put out.

Have you seen "Nightmare Before Christmas"? For a Theater Kid, I would have thought you would have seen it. Don't stop with one Voiceplay reaction. Absolutely check out Geoff Castellucci's solo work, such as his latest "The Monster Mash"

Geoff castiuchi the bass does solo try his headless horseman you will love it

I already recommended it, but I have a feeling you would really like Dark Sarah and their music. "Dance With The Dragon" especially is very theatrical.

She is pretty.Wow. nice react.

That's Zero, from the movie lol.

Geoff with five octaves. Something like A0 to f5ish

Hey charis hope your doing good

Another great group is Home Free

Headphones definitely required great reaction tho!

Voiceplay are good. Acapella groups is a good road to take. Thera are some good once. Voiceplay, Pentatonix and - my favorite - Home Free. And lots of others. Check out Home Free and the song Man of constant sorrow.

I mean this in the nicest way possible, but are you related to Nancy Cartwright? Something about your voice makes me think you could do an awesome Bart Simpson impression.

Its been a while since I saw this video ❤ me some nightmare

I would suggest VoicePlay’s Queen in 5 Minutes medley. It would give you a chance to better hear everyone’s solo voice without the character acting. And you should recognize at least some of the songs in the medley.

For a cappella harmony goodness, try Home Free - Helplessly Hoping. I promise you'll like it. The only complaint ever is that it's too short.

If doing more acapella don't limit yourself to one group. Recommend diving down the rabbit holes of both Pentatonix & Home Free as well as the Voiceplay rabbit hole.

You START aca with this?!

New subscriber also if you wanna to a good singer check out a band called ice nine kills and there song assault and batteries the singer of the band is named spencer charnas Little background about the band. Ice nine kills is a metal band that base there songs around horror movies so like assault and batteries is about the horror movie chucky I highly suggest it it’s awesome

i know geof (and I like him so much) but i didn't know you. You are as like as Chloe Bennet! (really the same)

Check out Voice Play's Hoist the Colours... it is EPIC!

Pleeeeeease Check out hansha by oceans ate Alaska it’s a lot of twists and turns with a sweet melodic voice but a brutal scream with 4 different screams

How you called the theatre kid and haven't seen A Nightmare before Christmas...SMH

Since you're a Metallica fan, you should listen to Voice Play's cover of Nothing Else Matters.

Pentatonix are the best at a cappella covers.. Home Free and VoicePlay are good as well you should check them out

Can you react to disturbed the sound of silence live on Conan? Please.

You should give 'Moana' by Voiceplay; a listen.

Headphones

I'm new subscriber your good but you need headphones with good bass

People who follow acapella don't just think of Pentatonix when they hear the term acapella music. Not anymore. There are three main groups that people think of right off when they think of acapella music: Pentatonix ( true ), HomeFree, and ( of late ) VoicePlay. Those are, generally, the first three that come to people's minds, I've found. And, there are many other groups out there, I'm sure. I'm certain you're tired of hearing people tell you that you really should use headphones when you're listening to acapella music, so I won't do that. I would ask, though, that you back up the video about 5 seconds, or so, after you pause. This way neither you nor your audience misses anything in the song, or performance, that you're currently watching. Some of the things in the song, or videos, need a little build-up to be appreciated properly. A few last things, first: watch the video again, when you have the time. Listen to the background the second time round. There is a LOT going on back there that, unless you're listening specifically for it, you might miss. Second, I like the little "blooper reel" you put at the end of the video. That made you much more "human", much more likeable than just the reaction video itself, which made you fairly likable in the first place. So, that was well done, and very cute. And, lastly, Thank you for doing this video. I know that content creation isn't easy, and I appreciate the effort that goes into it, as well as the courage it takes to put yourself out there for everyone to criticize. So! Keep doing what you're doing, because you're doing well. Who knows, a few more acapella reaction videos and I may even subscribe! See you on the next one.

She missed it , right?

: )

I am late

You missed some of the Lowest vocals due to not using good quality headphones, this is an a must have to do proper and accurate reactions, headphones are a required tool to do justice to the artists, and that's especially true here. Your reaction did not do the artists real justice as I feel you were unprepared to fully appreciate the talent that was presented due to a lack of proper equipment. Just my humble opinion.

Do your self a favor and dig deeper in voice play I rec my mother told me. A Viking hymn or hoist the colors and Geoff castiuchi the bass does solo work too like misty mountain cold monster mash. They are God's with talent and they have many followers

Came for the reaction, stayed for the rack. Yes, it's a shallow and creepy comment, but it comes from the heart. 😂

Do yourself a favor, go watch Nightmare before Christmas

Your late

Thumbs down for not having the capability to hear what is happening. Please get industry standard speakers or headphones prior to reacting and expecting professional results.

Worst reaction yet. for a "Theatre Kid' you don't know much about music. No mention of Geoff's 5 octave range. No mention of the amazing arpeggio backing parts. No mention of the arrangement at all let alone the syncopation of the others or their ability to transition from character voices to singing voices effortlessly. No mention of Geoff's amazing bass run at 1:21. Seriously, less time practicing hair flicks and more time studying music theory.....
