Voice Teachers React to Sam Smith - Too Good At Goodbyes

[@wheresmycheese8511]

One of my favourite quotes is “Sam Smith’s voice should be a scented candle” 😂❤️

[@turtlenecksok]

i just love sam smith. you always feel so connected to his music even if you don’t have any idea who or what they’re about

[@dignature123]

The conversation about anxiety and stress is so relevant. When I’m by myself I sing free, I’m not worried about what I sound like but I feel consistent but as soon as I get to my voice lessons, I’m stressed and overthinking the entire time about every note that I can’t even get through a song entirely without feeling like I’ve already failed.

[@jasminevilliers8465]

This is why i don't do singing lessons also I sort of get stage fright so i have trouble performing to my fullest in front of people

[@theseeker1237]

Remember, you are just the vessel (voice) for the spirit. Get your ego out of the way.

[@marge973]

This explains me and my lessons omg

[@fabianbladez123]

I know this sounds strange but I got rid of my stage fright by asking my family members and close friends to suddenly say “showtime” and I would sing an agreed upon song at any time of the day in the house or somewhere where I’m comfortable. Being put on the spot enough times trained my body to be ready to sing whenever without fear. It’s scary in the beginning but if you just let go and just sing without worrying about sounding perfect you begin to no longer have as much nervousness when you sing because you’ve trained yourself to embrace the feeling of singing in front of others as opposed to knowing that you have to sing and building up your stress in anticipation.

My 8 y/o gets so excited when I get the notification of a new video. You're the only KZbin channel I'll allow her to watch. She wants to sing when she's older and she LOVES learning from you! Thanks for the great content!

[@DiuQuy]

That's awesome. ❤️ Sam's genuine passion and kindness inspires all ages!

[@stephany4661]

I love how excited he is to be doing this video with him. He's giving so many props to him by explaining things properly like "yeah I know my shit and I'm confident because I had a good teacher". And then passing the point over to the pro knowing that he is going to validate everything Sam said in his own way. Sam has a very unique way of explaining information that us virgin singers are able understand. Good video guys!

[@DeeVination]

Sam Smith's voice is like butter, so good and you want it on everything!

[@karinveldhuis8979]

Did he,start with singing in church??? I always have the feeling he did, tis voice angelic, zo beautiful and authentic. Sam must be a sweet man. How he is sharing his fornability.... I think he xis one of the best singers I have ever heard.

[@lvonloh1]

I love watching your videos, I always felt so self-conscious about my voice, because I never thought I could sing. Your kindness, especially towards reacting to the American Idol bad auditions gave me a little push to see a voice teacher. I’m not trying to be a super star 😂, but I love being able to sing without feeling anxious and weird. Also, I love Sam Smith, so I’m so happy this got unblocked!

[@kimmyball4961]

Why was it blocked??

[@mgtruli]

Sam thx u for introduce us to Dr. Marc, he's really a great teacher. 👏👏👏 I always love ur reactions 😄

[@fubarexress6359]

So cool for you to bring your old teacher along! You could tell he was geeking about it

[@artistaroundtheblock2047]

6:37 That happened to me on Friday.I was performing Bohemian Rhapsody by Queen and halfway through my part I literally wasn’t even thinking of singing it’s like my body wasn’t there but my mouth was making sound by itself and I was just thinking “Oh I wonder what I’m going to be doing later I wonder if I’m going to be eating something or if this is going to go well.” Then towards the end I was like “Oh yeah the song.” 🙂🤣

[@donnap5699]

I do that when I'm driving lol

[@angeladeluna]

I'm enjoying this conversational format.

[@atlaslife3800]

I am in love with the backing singers. Their caramel perfection of a sound just blends like a single instrument, with all that reverb (whether added or otherwise) just soaking up my ears in delight.

[@descapa1]

I get lost watching your videos 😩 it’s so refreshing to see such passion and articulation! I’m unfamiliar with a majority of the terminology but you present and explain them in such a natural and easy-to-follow way. Thanks!

[@karinveldhuis8979]

There is always a lot to learn, how beautiful is,that?! But the video's and explainations are really good

[@felicity526]

Two brilliant voice teachers reacting to this song makes me so happy! 400K subscribers later, you take the time and effort to acknowledge your mentor. You're such a kind person with a kind soul.

[@karinveldhuis8979]

What a passion for their job!!!! They learned this, I think, so in my opinion, they worked hard to being able to understand how the voice sounds, the tonque movements, singing from the bottom of the lungs, and all of that. And yes indeed, they are great to learn from

[@Paulfighteronline]

I really like this video. An insightful and balanced conversation. Keep it up!

[@nowvoyagerNE]

Sam interrupts sometimes. Sam: please let Mark finish his sentences!

[@hopepetrie3446]

I love how long the videos become when there’s someone with him. There’s so much information people can gain from both of them. Even though it’s a short clip they are reacting to you can learn a lot from what they say.

[@MrAnderodri]

Both the knowledge and the chemestry you to bring when talking togheter is amazing. To quote both of you "I'm feeling and naturally understanding this video, insted of going through every little advice like a robot"

[@daniel.sandberg.5298]

It is insane how he can just deliver this song anytime

[@ShelliG]

Wish Dr. Reynolds audio feed was better :( Love the performance vs singing mechanics analysis.

[@stickfigureslauralee]

Sam this is awesome to watch! You can see that your voice coach really knows you are doing what you need to be doing!

[@joannasaadati8810]

I love his live performance of Palace with the beautiful lady singing backup for him in this video 💜 Informative and lovely video as always, thank you Sam and Dr. Marc 🙌

[@leahosteen354]

I've never been a solo singer. Choir direction that I've received in the past was never as clear as your comments are. It's very interesting to hear your explain how to form the proper sounds. One director was fond of calling out "Alto section, I need more Karen Carpenter from you!". ( Hey I'm old, this was in the middle 70's.) I knew very well what sound he wanted but had no idea how to produce it. I love watching your reactions, it's clear you love the sounds of the human voice.

[@jimcarriesa1911]

Sam you really need to react to Avi "change on the rise"

[@KateVeeoh]

Sam Smith is such a brilliant artist, loved watching this video! Saw him in concert last year, and he had this hilarious Scottish guy supporting him - Lewis Capaldi, what a voice on him as well...would love for you to go check out his song 'Bruises' 🙌🏻

Sam Smith has the greatest voice of all time. I can't believe he's never on anyone's top tens

[@kaitlynkilpatrick36]

@2:55 i love how he goes into teacher mode quizzing u 😂😂 once a teacher always a teacher

[@lc6448]

A new (not so new) video!!! Always hyped for these. I love this channel so much.

[@nowvoyagerNE]

Can you two explain why Sam Smith's voice has such a distinct and unusual quality? I know nothing about technique or vocal terminology, so i cannot adequately describe what I am hearing, but I certainly know it isn't like any voice I've heard before! To me is sounds "glommy," as though he is singing with soup in his mouth! Lol. Can you help explain Sam Smith's voice? Thanks!

[@nowvoyagerNE]

P. S. In a reply elsewhere herein, I compare his voice to a butterscotch malt!

[@BravelyUntested]

Part of it is his speaking voice naturaly is very weighty. So he can sing pretty light and effortlessly in his chest voice and get a rich tone. To contrast that, his falsetto/higher notes are very airy, which in effect can be dry and somber. The way he uses these colors helps him excel at singing these sad, sort of somber songs. Plus I think thematically, the material lends itself to what you are describing. For reference: I also studied voice in college and have taught k-12 music briefly

[@nowvoyagerNE]

@@BravelyUntested : he has kind of a "glommy" voice. like he's singing with mashed potatoes in his mouth. it's definitely different than most voices.

[@kyleskirata13]

Thank you for reacting to Sam Smith. He is one of my absolute favorite modern artists. I’ve always had a bit of trouble figuring out what exactly he’s doing with his voice in some of the higher phrases of his songs - “like is this falsetto or mixed or still chest? What the heck is this?” In fact when I sing along (which I can only do on the absolute best of days) with some of it I will notice he slides into a full falsetto without you ever noticing unless you’re trying to mimic the sound yourself. Utterly adore his style of music. Like you both mention in the video, I have noticed the times where I can sing his high sections have always been when 1. My chest is clear 2. The more relaxed I am as a person, the easier it is for me to sing the notes, and sometimes it’s surprisingly easy (just wish I could do it consistently haha) cheers!!

[@lindagjerde8827]

Please react to Aurora (Norwegian artist)...any song will work . She is fantastic!

[@magpie.314]

Does she have a last name? Or at least a name of a song, bc all I'm getting are aurora borealis nature/science videos when I search

I am not a singer. I am barely able to hum. That being said, I watch your reactions and think about how difficult it is to get out of your head with all the technically and physiologically involved.

[@Mtz2604]

After following Sam and wanting for a long time singing lessons, I had my first singing lesson last week. Thanks Sam to motivate me to believe in singing as a healing art. Homework for lesson #2: Caro mio ben (My former partner in crime, my husband, joined me in the singing lessons, wish us luck!) Thanks Sam 🧡 I hope your doing great. Also that you and your loved ones are safe and sound

[@kellystark7157]

Great video! Glad we finally get to see it. Can you link Mark’s channel in the description?

[@fatnesstofitnessthereandback]

A proud father moment. The Dr did a good job.

[@karens2004]

Wonderful comments! I feel like I got a free voice lesson. Love your videos, Sam. Your analysis has helped me understand things that never clicked for me with other teachers (great, lovely teachers, btw). Dr. Marc is a great guest. His insights and tips are incredibly valuable-immediately actionable and he's got a full understanding of blending technique and performance, which is so important. I love his tip about meditation :) Would love to see more videos with both of you. Thanks for providing us with such entertaining, valuable content.

[@hflordawn]

So cool to see you with your own teacher. He seems like he was a great one.

[@r0land014]

When he says 'quicker these tears dry' in the hook' its falsetto everything else is head voice

[@flaffycheez6899]

Yeah I was thinking the same thing cause it's easy to do head voice for me and harder to get falsetto anything cause I don't have that technique or rhythmic style, so the head voice part is like the easiest then when I say quicker these tear dry I release breath to make it sound similar but not like him he's too good

[@sageevergreen4868]

You’re right about the ‘quicker’ being falsetto, but the rest is basically all head. Sam, like me just has a naturally higher voice and people mistakenly think its either falsetto or mix when in fact its just normal chest for us.

[@justinjwood]

These vids are so good. Teaches me so much about singing. If only I could control my own singing voice lol

[@meganlittle2380]

I still really wish you would look at kang seung yoons with love song. He is really an incredible singer. Not even saying this because i am his fan but as someone who grew up listening to broadway musicals and opera, i am extremely picky on my singers. But he is seriously incredible. It is unfair that the international community doesnt give him the attention he deserves. I really hope you would react to him to that people learn who he is. I promise you will not regret it. His solo album should be coming out this year and i want him to do super well. Please...

[@chloemaree5249]

I love everything about Sam Smith, their vocals, their strength, they have just helped me through so much

[@SivenMs]

I would love to see you do Kaleo - Can't go on without you. There is a fantastic studio/ live version.

[@michaelstridi478]

Thank you so much for all that explanations and advices! You just described me singing in front of my friends. I can't sing well because I'm always like "Oh God, I want to sing well and show how good I am" and I'm always anxious about it so I can't concentrate on what I'm trying to communicate and on the emotions I want to communicate. I will definitely start videorecording singing and trying to learn more by myself, like confidence, the sounds I want to achieve and stuff!

[@KimikoMaui]

I dont speak like these do but it's clear to me that he has the most amazing control of his voice while emotng that u can't even detect the precision he is hitting

[@gfunkmedia]

Sam can U have a look at "Spacehog- in the meantime- 1996" it's live on Letterman. Singer has a huge mouth (playing a Ricky, and wearing a dress- for reference) Same song 'live in New York' (b&w clip) shows a great flip to the head, for someone with such a deep, rich voice..The song draws on Beatles influence- which is often so evident in 90's/grunge music. The singer I'd put in with the likes of Mike Patton from Faith no more.. The both are clear and articulate (unless by choice) and I feel like I can hear some kind of classical training and/or a definite musical theatre vibe. Sorry to hijack the comments. Like to hear your thoughts. G.

[@josephdurham9429]

I see now why I didn't watch this whole video and I cut it off a certain time but when Sam first starts the song He's in full chest voice again they said nothing about this they're saying he sung breathy

[@theresabollman8061]

Can a person who has never really been able to sing (just wants to sing around the house and to her grandchildren) ever learn to sing, or would I have figured it out by now if it was something one could "learn". Low register and a hoarse sounding voice seems to be my two biggest problems.
