Pop star Labrinth has a performance challenge for two young students: to perform a poem to an audience for the first time.
They are given tips from experienced performer, Caroline Bird, before taking to the stage at the Latitude festival. Labrinth then catches up with them to find out what they've learnt from the experience.
This clip is from the series Labrinth's Speak Out.
