Will this vocal coach manage to impress one of the biggest British singers in the world?

Thanks to YouTube for making this possible
And to Sam for being so lovely: samsmithworld.com

I flew all the way to Mexico City to meet British Superstar Sam Smith, but first I had 24 hours to complete three challenges, find the perfect gifts and prove exactly what makes Sam’s voice so iconic.

As a vocal coach, I break down some of the techniques behind Sam Smith’s unmistakable sound, from their soaring head voice and powerful mixed voice to the emotional cry quality that makes songs like "Stay With Me" so instantly recognisable.

Along the way, I explore Mercado de Artesanías La Ciudadela in Mexico City hunting for gifts inspired by Sam’s voice, find an outfit worthy of meeting a fashion icon and speak to Sam Smith fans about what their music means to them.

Then it is finally time to meet Sam Smith. What will Sam make of my very unusual presents?
Thank you so much to Sam Smith for being so warm, generous and wonderful. This was an unforgettable experience.
