a French horn and trumpet player. He has been with VoicePlay since
its inception in the beginning of 2000. With his powerful voice and
commanding stage presence, he is an undeniable asset to the cast.
GEOFF CASTELLUCCI
Geoff Castellucci was born in Alexandria, Viriginia
and with well over 10,000 professional a cappella
performances to his credit, has been singing since
he can remember. His earliest musical memories
are of playing the piano at his grandfather’s house
in upstate NY when he was just five years old and
break-dancing for home-movies. Recognizing musical
talent and terrible dance skills, Geoff’s parents
enrolled him classical and jazz piano training. From
that doorway to music, Geoff branched out to vocals
and guitar, but still loves to play the keys.
Geoff got his first taste of a cappella through singing in the middle
school choir, but didn’t really develop as a “bass man” until high school
when he co-founded VoicePlay (then 42Five) with Layne, Earl, and former
members Scott Porter (yes, THAT Scott Porter) and Michael Kilgore.
Although Geoff’s first love was music, he married his second in the
with his beautiful and talented wife Kathy— Although she sometimes takes
a back seat to his other loves which include an unhealthy addiction to
Twinkies, Diet Coke, Alton Brown, Starbucks coffee, South Park, William
Shatner, and anything with an Apple logo on it.
The brainchild behind many of VoicePlay’s onstage antics, Geoff finds
his creative outlet in penning arrangements for the act and coming up
with new and innovative ways to embarrass the cast on stage. When not
working with VoicePlay, Geoff can be seen making the rounds at Orlando
area theme parks, including a very rumbly Frankenstein and Elwood Blues
at Universal Studios Florida.
LAYNE STEIN
Born on Dec 16th in Orlando, Florida, Layne Stein
has been singing since his earliest years in school,
and like Geoff and Earl, was originally trained as an
instrumentalist, playing the violin for 14 years before
joining VoicePlay. After realizing he could spit to
art of vocal percussion. All of those weird-funkyamazing
wow sound effects and drum lines come
straight from his very tired mouth.
From an artistic context, Layne can be considered
the epicenter of production for the group, including production on all of
VoicePlay’s albums. Layne is also one of the main writers for VoicePlay
