Hey ya'll, thanks for your patience while we got these new tiers sorted. I cannot thank you all enough for being here and supporting the silly music talky low stuff I make, but with these updates, I sincerely hope you can see that I'm trying. To thank you enough, that is. Read below for all the details.

$1 The old standby, is staying the same, you'll still get early access to the videos and you'll still be the heart of the campaign. You are the foundation on which we achieve modest levels of internet stardom amongst a very select group of deep voice obsessed. And for that, you have my eternal gratitude and admiration of my very old cat. 😸

$5 The 2nd tier up is truly one of the greatest and as such, why would we mess with success? Let's keep this good thing thing we've got going and keep making wonderful things together. Thank you for being here!

$10 This tier is where all the really cool people hang out, but they don't want you to know they're cool so they keep it on the DL, the QT, it's all very hush-hush. With that in mind, if you're in the $10 tier, you're now getting access to the HIDDEN PREMIERE 👻. "THE HIDDEN PREMIERE, WHAT IN THE NAME OF ZEUS' BEARD IS THAT?" ... I'm not permitted to tell you. It's HIDDEN. But just know that it is VERY, VERY cool.

$20 This tier might be my favorite. Why? Don't ask questions.  If you'd like to see your name in lights, this is where that illumination awaits. AND NOW, you'll also get some pretty sweet audio perks to go along with your very fancy scrolling credits. This perk will probably change from month to month, but it could include evolutions of the audio mixes, isolated vocals, session walk-throughs or some other audio related thing that I haven't thought up yet.

$45 This tier has been sold out forever, thank you ALL for being here! There USED to be a cap at 20 people, BUT NOW the cap will be lifted and you may flood this tier with all the enthusiasm of a herd of turtles. If you've been itching to get a personal message from me - now you can - twice per year, you can request a personal message from me, for you, or for someone  else and I'll get it out to you just as soon as I am able. (You'll need to be a patron at this level for at least one month before requesting a message, please and thank you). Additionally, you'll be receiving an as yet to be designed Exclusive patron only t-shirt for this tier. Just imagine how cool it'll be when someone asks you where you got that shirt and you can say "What, this ol' thing? I don't remember." That'll be so fun.  ALSO you'll get a 15% discount on any merch items from the store at the website. I'm also (for the first time ever) making the final videos available to you for download so you can watch them when and where you like. For example, while you vacuum your dog. Sweet. 

$145 ONE MORE-ER

There are 10 spots open in this brand new tier and there's only one extra perk here, but I think it's a pretty cool one. I’ll include a reading of your name in the end slate of the video. This could be an audio read at the end of a video or it could also be a filmed version, but either way you're going to be front and center on the credits list because you're just that awesome. (NOTE: This is not a sponsorship opportunity for brands, and I reserve the right to not include your name if it's obviously fake or um..."troll-ish". For example"Daryl's House of Gently Used Hair" or "Geoffisadoodoobrain" are not names that I'll be including in the endslate. Thank you for your kind understanding). And no, I don't know where Daryl get's his "gently used hair", he's a mysterious fella and I respect his privacy.

So that about sums up the changes for now, and in case I hadn't already mentioned it, these are all tentative changes. If you think I've missed something really fun or if you see a potential disaster somewhere in here, please drop me a comment below and let me know your thoughts. Thank you as always for everything, and we'll talk soon! 

-G

PS - We're looking to roll any changes out by the end of next week and you'll see another post with the final final changes before the updates go live. Thanks, again!

As usual, your write-ups are a delight. They are a perk in and of themselves. ♥️ “Pretty sweet audio perks” has me drooling…

Dominique

I think I will sign up for every one of these tiers. You sold them well! You are the best!

Lourdes Sanz

Thanks so much for these update! They sound great to me! It is so fun to be your Patreon!

Coda

Take my entire wallet why don't you! (No but seriously these are amazing additions and I already know I'll be upping my tier)

Kimberly Friend

This looks like it's going to be an amazing update!!! I can't wait for the roll out and I'm excited for what's to come!

Gretchen G

The only potential disaster I see is to my budget. 😂 These are awesome! I'm probably going to move up to the $20 tier. Really really really want to join the $45 tier, but idk. Might have to wait until I finish my studies and get a real job. Then I will be able to afford such luxuries. 😁

Mikki Fullerton

Sounds delightful, can't wait to see how things go!

Sarah Borzelli

very nice thank you!also your writing is so entertaining hahahaha! i enjoy it!can I give you all my money to make you sit in my closet and every morning when I open it you could tell me something funny or sing......priceless!

Miranda Rakers

Additionally the FOMO is always free. I think I could actually hear people increasing their tiers as I was reading each one! Awesome perks Geoff!

Laura Müller

These new perks sound amazing. I am looking forward to everything you choose to bless us with. Thank you so much!

Nana Koranteng

This is incredible I'll defenitly be moving up a couple of teir's. Thanks Geoff!

Amanda Nathan

Pretty happy with my tier. Though if I ever have the money for a couple months of that $45, I would totally do it. Just have to share my laugh because I can never see "herd of turtles" without remembering the Spoonerism that my mother coined: a turd of hurdles. Do with that what you will.

Patricia Schuman

But, Geoff, my real name is really, really Packey Von Chippe-Chalange!

Gretchen G

Question about the $45 tier: How will the requesting a message thing work? And what kind of message would it be? Like a video thing? Something handwritten? Or what? It sounds cool, whatever it is! 🙂

Brontesaurus Rex

omg I've been thinking for a long time that I'd love to get a message for my students, they'd lose their wee minds 💜💜💜

Ellen L Brownell

Open up those flood gates this turtle is ready for the stampede. BTW does Daryl sell his gently used hair on-line? Etsy. maybe? Asking for a friend.

Hunter

Yes, all your paperwork seems to be in order. BUT, I must recommend this. Please sign a “GeoffCastellucciWillNotBeAnIdiotForTheRestOfTheYear” Clause. *hands fancy felt quil pen*

Jordi S

I love the additions to some of these tiers.

Amanda W

I'm only sad my budget won't let me go up in tiers right now.

Sarah Reach

I second this question. From quizzing a couple of your $45 tier patrons, I understand that you have continued to switch up the personalized message into different forms as suggested in the tier description. What is your vision of how the personalized messages will look going forward? (however you decide to do them, I am excited to see!)

Amanda Hovendon

Ooohh I’m lovin the different perks! I’m at the $20 tier but I might be able to move up to the $45 tier since I’ll be getting a lot more hours this month at J. Crew cause it’s Black Friday month. I get paid extra for working Holidays

Angie Woollard

Ooh, this is brilliant!! Be sure to record their reaction and share!

Ashley Evers

And I just remembered that Daryl is one of the Geoffettes . . . That guy gets more mysterious all the time.

Angie Woollard

HAHA...y'all, check out the headline on the newspaper in this photo! Total bass singer bassline 'lyrics'. Oh Geoff, you make my day.

Gretchen G

Aww, what a sweet idea! I'm sure your students would love that.

Randiskye

Thank you. I didn't know it has a name. I've uttered Spoonerisms as well as knife- and forkerisms my whole life. I just always called it verbal dyslexia, lol. You learn something new every day.

Anne

These all sound good! I’m with Amanda W, in sadness that my budget is too tight to go up right now.

Geoff Castellucci

The personalized messages will come mainly as video messages now. I really wanted to open this tier to more people, and the best way for me to do that is to let you all request a video message a couple times a year, and send you the one-time exclusive T-shirt. This will replace the monthly videos/gifts. I hope this works for everyone!

Sarah Reach

Regarding your tier values, you already thank us more than enough! Seriously, I have comparison shopped other creators, and your perks have ruined me for most other artists regarding value (at every level.) I deeply appreciate what you do for us and can't thank YOU enough (although I will also keep trying 💸💸💸) I am so excited to see what is coming in those new audio perks especially!

Shannon D

These are dangerously tempting new perks. Good work!

Tara Congo

Your posts are always such a highlight 😆 Looks great to me! Quick question, though I'm pretty sure I already know the answer - are all the things you didn't mention here that are currently tied to a tier staying the same? Live chat at the $10 tier, replays at $5, that kind of thing? Also, are your bts vids still available to all tiers?

Gretchen G

That sounds great, thanks for clarifying.

Geoff Castellucci

Yes, the majority of perks are staying the same, I'm mostly just adding to them. And BTS vids will still go to everyone whenever we decide to do them!

Barbara Binney

*scrolls back up to the picture* *laughs hysterically for 5 minutes straight*

Barbara Binney

All your perks are amazing. Thank you for doing what you do and for bringing joy into this world. *does calculations in her head (because she's a math nerd)* Hmmmm...looks like I can go up to the $45 level! YAY!!! In 6 months when my mortgage is paid off, I'd be able to jump to the $145 level, but I'm sure it will be sold out by then. P.S. If this singing thing doesn't work out for you, you should SERIOUSLY consider trying your hand at creative writing as a profession. At the very least, you put a smile on my face, and more often than not, I am outright guffawing at your prose.

Huldra Draco

Thanks, Geoff! This sounds awesome!! 🥰♥️

Cynthia Ross

I love the idea of a t-shirt instead of so many messages. Partially because I hope that takes less time for you overall, but also because I can wear it out and about and have an excuse to talk about your music. 😁

Alisha Watson

Looks like I'll definitely be moving up a tier. I needed some motivation to pick up a few more hours at work, anyway. These new tier perks are perfect😄

Amanda Hovendon

Oohh I might be able to do the $45 tier after all! Yayyy!!!

AM Person

What joy and excitement! I am already over the moon with the current most generous perks and looking forward to the even more. As a data nerd, off to go move some numbers around in the ole budget spreadsheet to see what I can do.

Suzy Bailey

I've only been able to manage the $5 tier, love the great perks that come with this and am so grateful they are not changing, thanks for that Geoff! Hopefully, sometime next year when I know where I'll be and life settles down a bit, I'll be able to finagle my way into the $20 tier because those 'pretty sweet audio perks' sound delicious! 👍💜

Michelle G

Thanks for the update. I'm very grateful you're leaving the BTS available to the £1 tier - thank you! The new tier and perks further up the scale sound great and I hope lots of people sign up for the 45 tier now you've lifted the cap.

Susan Zoe Bella

Help! I don't see where to level up! 🤔

Angie Woollard

Geoff wrote that the tiers will be live in at the end of next week.

Tine

Hey Geoff, You're an idi.. oh wait wrong post.. Iiiin all seriousness; 😉 Firstly.. reading your posts here feels like it deserves to be on a tier of its own. I thank you for that as it gives me so much joy, and seemingly many others as well. I do really like the silly music talky low stuff that you make. I really like to receive the gratitude and admiration from Clayton. The unconditional love from a pet is like no other (Yes, despite all the cleaning up that comes with those lil' buggers at a certain point)😻 I really really like the addition of the hidden premiere. How elusive and mysterious of you! I really really REALLY like the upcoming pretty sweet audio perks. This will truly be another highlight for me personally. I am taking a course in music production and now I will be able to unveil all your little secrets Muahahaha..😈*clears throat* I mean.. this will be SUPER dope! Thank you for making this possible! I did really like the monthly messages so I will miss those, but honestly the more the merrier. If now the herd of turtles can flood this tier and help fund you to create even more awe-inspiring, incredible, creative, heartwarming, sensational videos, then I am happy to hear so many more awesome folks will get to enjoy that wonderful perk that is a personal message from you! One More-er? Woah! Just when you think there isn't possibly anything more that you could have to offer. That is an interesting perk I must say in that tier. Quite unexpected as well, despite you making talky low stuff. It shall be interesting to see who will be amongst those lucky 10. I'd have to say, something else I'd have in mind for a tier of this price would be a more personal 'experience/interaction' type idea, but that is definitely a lot less scalable, which defeats the purpose of what you are trying to do here. Thank you so much for thinking of us, but also thank you for thinking of yourself first and foremost. Your limitations are incredibly important to keep in mind, and I am happy to see that indeed you have found scalable tier perks that will hopefully work for you moving towards a bigger community. For all this awesome and good stuff we need YOU, so please think of that (and no more tortilla chips, if you please). Now I do have one practical inquiry for you, sir. Perchance it is purely hypothetical as I am undecided as of yet... When this new tier opens up, will it be a free for all 'first come, first-served' or will it be amongst those that have the limited 45 USD tier currently, or how will this work? 😊 Thank you ever so kindly. Please know that in my perspective you are absolutely coming across as very grateful through ALL that you do for us. I mean.. you just suffered through the Paqui one chip challenge, feeling absolutely miserable and yet you still decide to share that, albeit unusual, slice of life moment with us. Forever in your debtitude.

Debs Badger

Actually, it's not meant to be that, at least not in reality, Geoff may have selected it for that reason, who knows. I ran it through a translator and it's a German newspaper, and the article is about a singer named BiBi and she has a song entitled Wap Bap. Pretty funny that it works the other way, though.

Ann Bean

Hi Geoff and Kathy and all. Have you heard of this song The air that I Breathe 1974 by the Hollies. You wood do it good. Your Ann

Jacky Friedman

So what I'm getting from this is there's no change in $1 and $5 tiers. Bummer. I was hoping to at least be able to live chat with you instead of replay. And I can't afford to go any higher or I would. Other than that the changes sound great. Maybe when I get my SS check increase. We'll see. Crossing my fingers🤞🚶‍♀️🚸⚔️

Jacky Friedman

I agree. Everyone else is too high compared to you, Voiceplay and Pattycake Productions.

Nana Koranteng

Maybe you can add a perk where you go live on set (Similar to what VoicePlay does).

Jacky Friedman

Couldn't have been said any better myself. I second that.

Angie Woollard

I have a feeling the issue with that is manpower. It's a pretty skeleton crew when Geoff does his videos.

Rachael Heidi

I don't know how you always make these things better but you do lol. I'm already on the 45 dollar tier but I might have to cut ties on some other patreon subs to get the 145 tier haha.

Jeff with a D

Awesome applesauce for the changes. Im fully open to supporting you more without needing the personalized messages. Id be satisfied with a signed pic or two per year rather than asking you to spend time on a message. After all I have the better spelling on our name, am less old, and am less boring and have better hair. Ok all lies.... , but a I can only Dream On :)

Debs Badger

I will miss the random things showing up in my mailbox, but I understand you need to grow and keep things interesting for people, since you are in no way interesting. 🙂

Åse M Bruun Lagnestål

Exactly what I wanted to say. 🥰👆 Except for the music production course. I’d really love having one, but I’m too busy teaching science and math. 👩🏼‍🏫

Tracie Schlaak

Thanks for all you do Geoff. The tiers are perfect. 😊

SunnyOutlook

I already feel spoiled at the tier I'm at, but I'm seriously considering moving up a tier. I love the talent as well as the community that has been built here.

Angie Woollard

“better spelling on our name” 😂

Tine

🤣

Ellen Reiser

I feel like i should move for 10 to 45 because i vacuum my dog…maybe someday. Right now i have to spread the love to other content providers. I did win $4 in the 2 billion dollar lottery the other day but alas that isn’t going to cut it.

Angie Woollard

He confirmed there are still the webchats as per usual. :)

Shannon D

After thinking about this for a couple of days, I wanted to add that I'm sooo excited about the hidden premiere and the additional audio perks specifically. I'm getting impatient already 😄

Hunter

I'm still amused that the newspaper reads "Wap-bap, ba-da- di-da-da"

Ann Bean

Lots of love to you all from UK
