    It’s still one of my biggest flexes to have met Sam in 2015. It was in Brisbane when I was at the venue early, my friend and I went on a walk and ended up meeting them. Their security stole our umbrella for them to get out of the car and they were so lovely and gave it back to us and said ‘omg don’t steal the umbrella from these girls and let them get rained on!! I’m so sorry’ and took photos with us and the couple of other fans who were there. Forever grateful, you could just tell how sweet and lovely they were in that brief interaction

      It worked for me. I’m transgender so my voice deepened only when I started testosterone at 48. I was singing alto in a choir at the time so I was singing regularly. In the first few months I completely lost my upper range and switched to bass in the choir after 5 months then, with a lot of practice, it came back and now, at 52, I’m a baritone who can sing the full alto range up to about a top E/F and have switched to tenor. I’m now just working with my singing teacher on strengthening the full range so I can produce notes at any level of intensity/volume without losing quality. I know another trans tenor (also in a choir) who had the same experience. It really is a thing. I think it’s due to maintaining flexibility in the vocal cords.

    I’m a voice pedagogy nerd and choir teacher and there’s totally a pedagogical reason behind Sam “heavily” singing through their break. They probably figured out a specific voice placement that allowed them to get around the break. I encourage my boy singers in middle school to sing slightly more nasally than they think sounds good to do this. Some people are magicians and figure it out all on their own. The more you practice singing that way, it becomes muscle memory. Great job little Sam!

      ​@@mil.o you do realise "they" is also a singular pronoun right? It's used in a singular way daily. If someone dropped a wallet and you found it hours later you'd say "oh someone dropped *their* wallet". You don't have the right anyway to tell someone how they should feel most comfortable. You aren't the one who has to be referred to that way, and it isn't hurting you at all.

    I love Sam so much, I've experienced a similar emotional journey so their songs come always at the right time

    My best friend and I always refer to him as our best friend…”in our heads”😂. Sam has such a beautiful, soft speaking voice. Just by listening to his speaking voice you can actually tell that he could sing well too. I was very fortunate to see him live in Cape Town a couple of years back (unfortunately he did not finish the show as he had issues with his vocals and we got refunded our ticket costs; so essentially I got to see him perform songs live…for free). I would hope he makes his way back here someday. ❤

    Sam Smith is the kind of person we all need as a friend because they are so kind and can give you a hug that makes life better while telling you why you are being foolish and to stop being mean to yourself.
