Memorable Moments"It was just this dream that guided me in each different move and change in my life."“Taking my art away from the place in my life that required making music to make money, for my art to no longer be pressured and to now have the freedom to just do whatever I wanted to with music because I love it. That changed everything for me.” "I feel great about it, I feel proud of it, and I feel like, you know, I only have one life. What's most important is that I feel great about me.""I am such a huge proponent of not having regret, and that's been a big thread through my entire life.""I'm hoping that my joy in creating this will also give other people joy. But if it doesn't that's fine, I'm not looking for this to be validating in any other way, other than my own personal journey."

Tim Foust is a sardonic, yet sensitive, singer-songwriter who doesn't take himself too seriously. As an established performer with all-vocal country band, Home Free, Tim is known mostly for a bass voice that reaches notes deep enough to shake arenas. Now, as he begins to release new recordings as a solo artist, the world will be introduced to a master craftsman who can build a wall of sound using the unequaled range of his voice alone. An accomplished songwriter, Tim has achieved recognition for his compositions on Home Free's Billboard Chart-topping albums, “Timeless,” “Dive Bar Saints” and So Long Dixie.” With an unmistakably authentic writing voice, Tim uses his clever wit to tell stories inspired by both fact and fiction. He enjoys being a wordsmith as much as a musician, and each piece is an opportunity for him to pen lyrics that stir emotion as well as entertain with originality and, at times, humor. Onstage, Tim is known equally for his voice and his personality. Like a big brother, he shows affection to his audience through jokes and teasing, and he's built a community of fans who travel from far and wide just to be in the same room with him. Tim is a true musician's musician, which is why he feels at-home in Nashville. Born and raised in the small town of Nederland, Texas, he went on to live in Los Angeles, Boston, Minneapolis, and At-Sea as a guest entertainer aboard cruise ships, before joining Home Free in 2010. In 2013, the group found international success after competing on, and winning, the NBC series “The Sing-Off”. Tim finally found a home in Tennessee in 2014, which is where he also met his wife and frequent musical cohort, Jenika Marion. Collaborating with friends is a huge part of what makes Tim happy and one of the ways he prefers to spend his time. He has been featured on releases by Peter Hollens, VoicePlay, Straight No Chaser, The Hound + The Fox and more. This year, he plans to use new platforms to share the stage and screen with his talented cohorts via stage and backyard shows, destination experiences, livestreamed events, exclusive recordings and more. He recently formed the supergroup, Sweet + Low Music Co., with some off his favorite vocalists, writers and multi-instrumentalists. Tim has two solo albums - “The Best That I Could Do,” a collection of country originals, and “Pieces of Me, Vol. 1,” and all-Tim, all a cappella Doo-Wop project.
An amazing new music toy.

This is Part II of our conversation with musician, bass singer, and arranger, Geoff Castellucci. Last week, we started to brush just the surface of what makes Geoff Castellucci so incredible. We talked about his origins and how he began singing with members of VoicePlay way back in middle school. We also discussed some of his role models and he's able to manage time between his passion and his family life. Plus, we took our first plunge into understanding how he learned to make sounds so low they can cause the screws in your furniture to come loose. In this episode, we continue our discussion around subharmonics and its origins. We'll also take a closer look at his recording tools and tips, including one of the voice tools nearest and dearest to my heart – straw singing. I also particularly love how Geoff gave us so many details about his recording process. Every singer has a different instrument but we all have to figure out how to record that instrument well. Geoff's understanding of what works best for him can be applied to many others. Finally, we have some extra fun questions at the end, including which roles he'd most like to play in the future and how many marriage proposals he has received! In this episode, you will hear: The two main types of throat singing Tips in recording low notes and full voice Geoff's pre-performance routines Why preamps are one of the most overlooked recording gear for vocalists The benefits of using preamps Why SOVTs (semi-occluded vocal tract exercises) work so well Dr. Ingo Titze's research on SOVTs The best and worst things about his profession His favorite performance venues Harnessing the power of great partners Subscribe and Review Have you subscribed to our podcast?

If you've never experienced the glory of your entire room rumbling as if a sonic earthquake had struck, and noticed that the screws and your shells were starting to come loose, then you haven't heard Geoff Castellucci on an adequate speaker system. Known for his ability to sing mind-boggling bass notes that are so low even some keyboards can't contain, Geoff is the low voice in the a cappella group VoicePlay. He also releases his own covers with multiple vocal layers which demonstrate his massive range, including high notes you never would have thought such a low voice could produce. Geoff also arranges and produces and creates fantastic music videos. In today's episode, Geoff shares his voice technique, specifically, how he's able to extend his low notes so far, what he does to record pristine vocal layers in his studio, and what makes a great collaborator. In this episode, you will hear: VoicePlay members: the original members and the core members Fun memories growing up with the other members How weight affects your voice Geoff's favorite a cappella groups and VoicePlay songs Finding work/life balance What makes a great collaborator Factors that control the rate of vibration of the true vocal folds Blending the chest voice and subharmonic registers Vocal transition and volume management Using Digital Audio Workstations (DAWs): Logic and Pro Tools Comparing singing subharmonics to yodeling Subscribe and Review Have you subscribed to our podcast?

Mr. Rogers once said, "When I was a boy and I would see scary things in the news, my mother would say to me, 'Look for the helpers. You will always find people who are helping.
