(exhales) You know what I can't stop thinking about?

How nobody knew Liv Warfield could sing when she was growing up.

One of the most powerful voices you'll ever hear, and nobody knew.

If I had those pipes, I would sing all of the time.

I wouldn't talk normally.

I'd just sing my sentences, but not Liv.

She kept it to herself.

She protected her hidden talent until one day, senior year, last all-school mass at PND, she decides to finally share her gift, and look what happened.

Look at the legacy she's building.

Now, I'm not saying everybody's got the kind of talent to drop Simon Cowell's jaw live on national TV, but it does make you wonder how many people are out there walking around right now with legitimate talent, and nobody knows, not because it's not there, because they're holding it back, because it's scary to put yourself out there.

It really is.

You gotta be vulnerable, and yeah, there's a chance you'll fall flat on your face, but what if you don't?

What if that thing you've been sitting on actually hits?

What if you're as good as you thought you were?

Here's the thing, though.

(clears throat) Not everyone with real talent is loud about it.

Not everyone's a showboat.

A lot of people are quiet, introverted, like Liv, which is why this part matters.

If you see something in someone, you gotta speak up.

It's remarkable how far a few words of encouragement can actually go, especially for kids or people experiencing self-doubt.

You might be the voice they need to hear, the one that gives them just enough belief to take that first step.

(upbeat music) Sometimes you need someone else to believe in you so you can believe in yourself.

That is my take.

Thanks for tuning in, ladies and gentlemen.

It has most definitely been a vibe.
