This is an educational Vocal Coach analysis from Beth Roars, breaking down Sam Smith’s “Too Good at Goodbyes." After meeting Sam in Mexico City last month, Beth uncovers more of the techniques behind their emotional storytelling from their 2017 record.
Beth explores Sam’s signature vocal cry and whisper singing, contrasting breathy vulnerability with warmer, fuller tones to create authority and anger. She also examines their light but powerful head voice, breath control and vocal tract shaping, plus word painting that makes us feel every lyric.
Sam's voice is one that's got Beth through some tough times, so this is an emotional one!
