Some of you may have heard of basso profondo singer Geoff Castellucci, who gained exposure with the group Voiceplay on NBC's series The Sing-Off some years ago. He's since built up a free-lance solo career, with his own channel on YouTube and his own Web site.
I heard my wife playing his rendition of "God Rest Ye, Merry Gentlemen" the other day, and found it attractive; so I thought I'd share a couple of his Christmas songs with you.
An interesting and (dare I say it?) "based" look at the season!

"Based", indeed! If that's really him singing all the pats to the accapella, that's a HELL of a range he has there!
I've been following VoicePlay and Geoff for several years now. I love his voice, and how low he can go has been the source of much amusement for me when watching reaction videos of folks hearing him for the 1st time (usually on the Oogie Boogie Song cover that VoicePlay did).
Amazing range -- his own quintet. Harmony is a wonderful aspect of music.
That's lovely! I always try to memorize at least one carol for the season, and this year it's God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen.
This man's vocal range is incredible. I always love listening to basses - they make my chest cavity vibrate when they hit those really low notes.
Now try David Vasc and his rendition of "Angles We Have Heard On High". He sings it as an anthem rather then a mind praising of some event..
He is a good bass singer but far from a “basso profundo”. He uses subharmonics rather than clean chest voice. Still impressive, but let’s give credit where it. Is due.
I had a Four octave range, natural... falsetto another octave at least. Irish tenor. Those low notes are wonderful, I can get close, but just can't hit his natural lows. High & harmonies, are my comfort. But... "Because it's all about that Bass"
