well, technically neither Geoff nor Layne have arranged for Home Free. Tim asked to use Geoff's arrangement of Elvira, Geoff agreed and then HF rearranged it to suit their needs. HF very graciously gave Geoff full credit for the arrangement 🙂 And Layne was asked by Chris to mash up the Butts remix songs since Layne is so good at remixing and mashing up songs with great transitions, and when Layne gave Chris a great suggestion for mashing the songs up, Chris and Adam did the arranging of the songs with that mash up in mind. So technically they never arranged *for* Home Free, but they were part of the arrangement process 🙂 and both turned out great!

Most of the members of VoicePlay have worked at Disney or Universal and as such they know the extra power that comes with the visuals that the theme parks demand. Right now VoicePlay is short one member who got recruited into the US Navy Chorus. He came back on leave and did the lead in Friends on the Other Side. Check that one out please. Before they lost J None to the US Navy, they lost Earl, one of original members from middle and high school days. Powerful tenor displayed in Queen in 5 Minutes. The theme they played with here was a dying man about to cross into the afterlife (Earl had a medical emergency while on tour and did leave the group for personal reasons). Both are good for the Halloween season (as is This is Halloween). Enjoy! If you decide to do some make-up time with VoicePlay, you will have all their fans following you. Also, VoicePlay and Home Free did a video called Zombies vs Hillbillies: Survivor which makes another fun Halloween treat. Geoff our bass has a 5+ octave range (growl at A0 or Ab0, subharmonics at B0, tenor at A5.)

They've covered four songs from Nightmare Before Christmas. They do a lot of stuff with costumes and makeup and maybe character voices. They also do a lot of stuff where they just sing straight out. Since this vid was made, Earl Elkins (high tenor) and JNone (baritone) have left the group in 2020 and 2021 respectively. JNone was replaced by Cesar De La Rosa. Earl's spot is still open, so they've been doing vids with various guest artists (male and female) in that spot. Geoff Castellucci (bass) also started a solo YT channel, during Covid. You can hear him over there, usually multitracking songs in 4- or 5-part harmony. He hit an E1 in what you just heard, and also hits an E1 in "Blackbird" on his solo channel. Occasionally, he goes as low as a B0. And as you see, he can also go quite high. The other members are Eli Jacobson (2nd tenor) and Layne Stein (vocal percussion and formerly the baritone). You want to see what kind of runs the higher voices can do, try Tennessee Whiskey. Just plain sweet singing, maybe try Can't Help Falling In Love. See how high the two tenors and the baritone can go, try Dream On. For more theatrical stuff, and to see female guest artists, try You're a Mean One, Mr Grinch (Adriana Arellano), If I Were a Rich Man/Girl (Ashley Diane), or Little Mermaid Medley (Rachel Potter). Once they go back to a full touring schedule and have to choose a new permanent 5th member, I'm guessing it will be Omar Cardona. He's guested with them four times: the aforementioned Dream On, Carry On Wayward Son, The Dragonborn Comes [Skyrim], and Superstition. His brother E.J. Cardona guested on Go The Distance and was very good, but he already has a job with Voctave. Happy Rabbit Hole. :)

Welcome to the third of the "big three" a cappella groups! With no experience listening to VoicePlay AND no experience with the Nightmare Before Christmas movie, you nailed VoicePlay's general 'theme.' Theatrical. Music Theater. Whimsical. Their arrangements are absolutely amazing (usually by Lane or Geoff). As with Pentatonix and Home Free, this group is versatile, imaginative, and spectacular! There is so much out there, you have a huge "job" in picking what to listen and react to! They do a great job with the Disney medleys. They 'redesign' songs in a "guess what you'll hear NEXT" way that will keep you on your toes! I LOVE their remake of the classic (from Fiddler on the Roof) "If I Were a Rich Man." Their twist??? "If I Were a Rich Man/Girl." If you know the original from the musical, you will really like their version!! I'm subscribing, so I have my EYE on you!! Happy reacting! 😊

Voiceplay and Home Free competed in the fourth season of The Sing Off. Most of what Home Free does is arranged by them and their producer Darren Rust however, some of their arrangements came from VoicePlay members Geoff (bass) arranged Elvira and Layne (beatboxer) arranged "The Butts Medley". Voiceplay does many different genres but most of their stuff leans toward musical theater. The band was started in Orlando, FL when the original members were in middle school chorus and I know that Geoff used to be a cast member at the local theme parks.

Ditto to everyone else's comments.. VP are for me the best of the 3. Their dedication, arrangements and talent is phenomenal. They don't always have a "lead" vocalist and generally share the vocals.. And of course because they are doing theatrical voices in this one, you can't tell what their real singing voices are... None of them seem to stay in what is supposed to be their voice capability titles and often jump in and out and confuse new reactors... Ie. In Dream on, the baritone, Cesar, hits the highest note.. Though I think Geoff is practically untouchable with his bass.. My favourites at the moment are hide and seek, ding dong, Hall of the mountain king and friends on the other side.... With Geoff, I'm loving his version of ghost riders in the sky, monster mash and headless horseman... Subscribing in anticipation of more Voiceplay and Geoff.🇬🇧❤️

Welcome to Voiceplay. They do tend to be more theatrical. The bass, Geoff Castellucci, is more than just a bass; he has a 5 octave range from A0-A5 and can pretty much cover every male voice type, while going higher than most tenors and over an octave lower than most basses.

Sorry, but can't agree with you. It's B0-A5 (the A0 in Warriors is confirmed to be pitch shifted while post-froduction. Legit B0 is in "Halo"). And also, he isn't going "higher then most tenors". He is going "as high as an average baritone", which is still very-very impressive for a bass. Tenors don't only go up to "tenor high C" or the C5. They go up to C5 in CHEST VOICE. Geoff goes up to ~A4 max. in chest voice. Then he has to switch to mixed voice and head voice or falsetto. Only in those registers he is able to get that A5, which is the case for every human. No-one is able to sing an A5 in chest. Not even the highest of sopranos. Maybe there are 1 or 2 sopranos in the world that can go that high, maybe there aren't. But A5 *in falsetto or head voice* is pretty much nothing for a tenor

About the "3 Big Names" in the acapella world: Pentatonix, Home Free, Voiceplay. .... Each of them fit the names. Take the name Pentatonix, sounds just like the next best pop-band you would see in the charts... and like you said, they cover a lot of songs in that direction. Then there is Home Free, not exclusively but to a big part more in the country direction. And then there is Voiceplay, The theatre group of the acapella world. Each of them is distinctive and unique in their own way, but all 3 are doing really good. Specifically about voiceplay: 3 times a charm, so i gonna suggest 3 of their songs. "Enemy (Feat. Alexa)", "The Little Mermaid Cover" and "Hoist the Colors" . Voiceplay is my favourite of the acapella world, but that is obviously just a matter of personal taste, like i said, the other two bands are really good, too.

This video is what I call Geoff-o-licious. In other videos other members take the lead. But in most of them, they all have pretty equal parts.

You are in for a ride with voiceplay. Since it's Spooktober, I suggest you watch their two latest videos "In The Hall Of The Mountain King" and "Hide and Seek". They are both Halloween influenced.

Their Moana Medley with Rachel Potter is a must-watch.

Geoff Castalucci (the bass) has a great range (like Tim Faust from Home Free and Avi Kaplan formerly of Pentatonix) to hear Geoff do a great solo piece listen to his multi-tracked version of Sixteen Tons.

Great reaction Rosalie. I love Voiceplay, and you're going to find many crossover fans of the A Capella genre. A great fun song frome Home Free is "Try Everything ~ Zootopia"

If you think of the a cappella world as school, Pentatonix is the student council, VoicePlay are the theater geeks, and Home Free is out in the parking lot hosting a tailgate party. Since VP guys are from Orlando and the members have performed at various theme parks over the years, they do a lot of Disney covers, but they're all over the genre map. They can make you laugh (We Don't Talk About Bruno), cry (I Can't Make You Love Me), and make your jaw drop (Hoist the Colors). They love Halloween and released two for the holiday this year, In the Hall of the Mountain King, and Hide and Seek. One of my favorites is Daddy Sang Bass, where their families join them at the end. It's especially poignant if you've watched "Our IVF Journey" on Geoff's solo channel. Co-founders Layne Stein (beatboxer) and Geoff Castellucci (bass) have been singing together since middle school. They usually take turns doing the arrangements, which also means they take lead on producing the video. If Geoff is in full body makeup (even if no one else is, like in Little Mermaid Medley) it's Layne's arrangement. His arrangement of Oogie Boogie here called for Geoff's entire range at the time, highest to lowest note. Geoff has since trained to go even lower. You can date VP videos by the personnel lineup and length of Geoff's hair. Like Tim Foust of Home Free, Geoff has a range of about five octaves. Both guys take advantage of that on their respective solo channels to be their own backup singers. Geoff can make you cry (Ain't No Sunshine), laugh (Way Down), drop your jaw (Ghost Riders in the Sky), and every emotion in between. And he does it all on his own -- arranging, performing, costuming, filming, editing -- with help from his wife Kathy, who was a talented singer/performer in her own right until her hearing loss became too significant. My first introduction to Geoff was Monster Mash, and I was a fan within 90 seconds. Kathy has a cameo in it. Home Free and VP guys are all friends and have collaborated many times, including Zombies vs Hillbillies: Survivor. For the full VP experience, watch with headphones and captions on (Geoff often puts funny stuff in) and keep watching until the end because there's often an extra bit, usually funny.

Voiceplay is also very diverse in what they sing. They're not afraid to go out of the box. They live in Orlando Florida. All have performed at Universal Studios and Disney World. So they are very theatrical. And won t release a video until it is perfect. But they are also a great bunch of guys on and off screen. Anything you choose from Voiceplay or Geoff Castellucci is never a disappointment. They both have lots of Halloween videos. Most recent... Voiceplay... In The Hall of The Mountain King. Hire and Seek(Ding Dong). Geoff... The Rains of Castamere. Ghost Riders In The Sky.

Voiceplay definitely has more theater in their videos and they pretty much own Halloween the way other artists do Christmas. They've had a number of member changes over the years. You'll see Geoff (bass), Layne (vocal percussion/effects) and Eli (Rock tenor pronounced "ell-ee") in all of the videos but the other two slots have changed or been filled by guests. Everyone they get as members or guests is just as phenomenally talented so it's hard to pick a favorite. Voiceplay did a fundraiser song/video "Just Sing" for musicians hit by the COVID situation where a lot of former members, guests and friends contributed. If you turn the captions on, it shows the connection and it's a good intro to the history. Voiceplay also competed with Home Free on season 4 of "The Sing Off" acapella competition and still collaborate. They worked up a song for the competition but never went head-to head so it wasn't on the show, but they had so much fun they did it as a video on their own. Check out "Zombies vs. Hillbillies".

Home Free and PTX are "produced" VP does their own arranging, set and filming for the most part. They are called the Theater kids of this genre - Check out I Can's Make You Love Me" .

I always enjoy seeing someone react to Voiceplay for the first time, you did not disappoint! They are absolutely wonderful. The lineup has changed in the last two years, so you will see different artists as you watch the new stuff. I think the best choice next is Hoist the Colours from Pirates of the Caribbean 3. They do not do costumes and makeup all the time, but they like to go all out. Subscribed in anticipation of more Voiceplay!

Voiceplay is an amazing group, and they have a LOT of performances worth watching. If you want to see another seasonal (Xmas) song, I would recommend "You're A Mean One Mr. Grinch". However, Geoff Castellucci, the lead singer in this song, and the group's bass singer, also has a series of solo performances worth exploring further.
