What's up guys, so I was actually pretty conflicted about whether

or not I should make this video

because in my opinion the ideal shadowing setup actually costs a good bit of money to acquire.

And I know that not everyone has extra cash laying around, some people are not going to be able to afford this, but for the people that can't afford it I do think it makes a difference

so I wanted to make a video about it.

Now if you can't afford the stuff that I talked about in this video don't let that be a limitation for you.

You can still shadow, you can still get fluent in Japanese or whatever language you're studying.

But I do think that it makes a difference.

So you might want to consider saving up and kind of investing in this setup because in the long term, it could, you know, really benefit your language studies.

And also the expensive components that I'm going to talk about in this video, they have other uses outside of just shadowing that are pretty beneficial as well.

So without further ado, what in my opinion, the ideal shadowing setup consists of three components.

First of all, you're just going to want normal old earbud headphones.

So these are just normal old headphones that were like 20, 30 bucks.

I've had them for a super long time.

They're not great.

They're just normal Sony headphones.

You know, they block out some sound when you put them in, but not too much.

They don't have any noise canceling features or anything like that.

They're just normal headphones.

So you probably already have something like this laying around.

This is the cheapest part.

Next, you're going to want to get a Blue Yeti microphone.

So basically, the Blue Yeti microphone is probably the best microphone you can get in around the $100 range.

It costs about $100 on Amazon, which might sound crazy expensive for a microphone, but it's really nice for the value that it gets.

When you look at what real professional level microphones cost, it can be like 500 or more, even sometimes more than $1,000.

And so for what you're paying, you're actually getting a lot of value with the Blue Yeti microphone.

By the way, Blue is the company.

Yeti is the brand.

A lot of YouTubers use this Blue Yeti microphone.

You've probably seen it.

Other YouTubers use it before.

Dogen uses it.

Basically, the reason why you're going to want to have a Blue Yeti microphone is

because you can plug in your headphones directly into it.

So right here at the top, there's a headphone jack.

I can plug in these headphones and now I can hear what the microphone is picking up directly in real time with, you know, no lag at all.

Now, this is important for what I'm going to be explaining in a second, but basically the reason why you want a Booyeri is for this feature right here.

So the feature where you can plug in your headphones and get feedback in real time.

If you find another microphone that lets you do this, then that's totally good enough.

You don't need to have a hundred dollar microphones.

This is the only one that I know of that has this feature.

Now, there are ways of kind of getting real time feedback through what you're saying without having a microphone like this.

For example, with Audacity, you can tell it to just play everything

that your microphone is picking up in real time but

if it's going through your computer there's going to be a

little bit of lag like there's going to be half a second to one second lag

and that's enough to completely throw you off

and like mess up your rhythm you know

because you're trying to continue to speak

and you're hearing what you said half a second ago

and just really kind of plays with your head so it's important

that you have no lag at all

and as far as i know the only real way to

do this is to be having the sound come directly out of the microphone itself

and not going through your computer so uh yeah it is expensive at 100 bucks

but it's really durable i've been using this one for years

and it's also really great for voice calls and stuff like

that because as you can hear you know it sounds pretty nice

and the last thing that you're going to need are noise canceling headphones

so i've uh talked about these particular noise cancelling headphones in my immersion hardware video.

I think they're really great.

They're wireless.

The battery lasts a really long time.

The noise cancelling feature is amazing.

The sound quality is really great.

So, you know, if you're trying to learn a language through immersion, these are pretty much the most useful tool that you can buy.

They're really expensive at 350 bucks, but I think it's totally worth it

when you consider how many hours you're going to be spending with these on your head, you know and it's not important

that you have these this exact model you can get any

noise canceling headphones there's also uh the bose quiet comfort 25s

these are the 35s there's the bose quiet comfort 25s

that are only 180 bucks on amazon i know those are really popular as well

so those could be just as good uh so basically it's just important

that you have noise canceling headphones so the way

that this setup works is

that you're going to be putting in uh you're going You're going to plug your headphones into the microphone

and you're going to put one side in, but not the other.

Then you're going to put on your noise canceling headphones

and you're going to connect them to your computer and turn them on.

And so what happens is because the noise canceling is so strong, it actually is going to make it so that you can hardly hear your own voice.

It's actually quite hard to just have a normal Skype call with the noise canceling feature of these headphones on

because you can't really hear your own voice and it feels like you're shouting almost.

And so what this does is, first of all, it cancels out your subjective voice.

Now, this is

actually really important

because we've all probably had the experience of listening to a recording of our own voice

and then being surprised that it doesn't sound anything like how we feel like we sound when we're just speaking, you know, normally.

And this is because when you're speaking normally, your voice is resonating with your skull and echoing inside your skull.

And There's like an actual explanation for it.

But anyway, the way that you sound to yourself subjectively is different than how you actually sound objectively.

So of course, if you're trying to improve your accent, then you want to know how you actually sound objectively so that you can fix all the errors.

And normally this is very hard to do.

You have to record yourself and then listen to it back.

That's why you always hear that advice, you know, record yourself, listen to it back, because then you get to hear what you sound objectively.

Because subjectively, it's a lot harder to hear the flaws in your pronunciation.

But with this effect, where you're basically canceling out your real voice with the noise cancelling headphones

and then getting a direct input of what your voice sounds like objectively

because you're speaking into the mic and then you're getting

that feedback from the mic into your ear you get to

100

hear what you sound like objectively not subjectively with real-time feedback

101

so this is invaluable like I think you could just practice speaking with you know noise cancelling headphones on

102

and both of these in and that would probably help you a lot

103

because you get to really hear like oh that sounded funny that sounded funny and you can slowly self-correct your pronunciation.

104

But the other benefit is just that since you're only having, you're only putting one of the earbuds in,

105

and then you're going to play your shadowing material through your computer or your mp3 player,

106

whatever, now it's really easy to hear both your voice

107

and the shadowing material at kind of an equal level without one overpowering the other.

108

And this is normally really hard to do.

109

So because you're canceling out your real voice just on one side, you have what's coming out of the mic

110

and the other side you have the actual shadowing material

111

and then you can control the volume until they're both the ideal level

112

because there's a knob right here on the front of the Yeti mic sorry you can't see it

113

but you can control the volume and then on your computer

114

or your mp3 player you can control the volume of your shadowing material

115

so you can get them both very easily to be the perfect level

116

and then now you have the perfect feedback system set up

117

where you're listening to real native material you're trying to repeat it

118

and then you can clearly hear the discrepancies between your voice and the recording.

119

And so for me, it was only once I thought of this setup

120

that shadowing really started to kind of click for me and really work for me.

121

And it really feels like now whenever I use this setup to shadow

122

that it actually is really helping me progress and improve.

123

So I know it's super expensive, you know, like a few hundred bucks total.

124

I think that it really could be worth it if you are serious about improving your accent.

125

And also, you know, these headphones, they're going to benefit you in many more ways than just shadowing.

126

Like I said before, it's going to help with your immersion a lot.

127

And this microphone is also good if you ever are planning on making YouTube videos

128

or you do a lot of voice calls or anything.

129

It is just really useful.

130

My brother doesn't make any YouTube videos or anything, and he has one just because it's a nice mic.

131

And so I think it could be worth it.

132

So for the rest of this video, I'm just going to give a demonstration on what it looks like when I shadow.

133

And yeah, so let's go.

134

So a lot of times when I shadow, I'll actually record with OBS.

135

OBS is a free screen capture program that is pretty cool

136

because it lets you record both whatever is coming out of your microphone and what's actually coming out of your computer.

137

So you know that's the other cool thing about the shadowing setup is

138

that if you're doing it with your computer with this microphone then you are already recording your voice

139

and then you have access to what you're actually shadowing with.

140

So you can record both of those and listen to them back and that can be useful as well.

141

So sometimes I record both the actual recording

142

that I'm shadowing with in addition to my voice

143

and then i can listen back to both over each other

144

which is pretty fun but realistically it's probably more beneficial to just record your own voice

145

and listen back to that because that's what's really important right your own pronunciation

146

so i'll do a little demonstration of both first i'll record both my voice

147

and what i'm using to shadow and then i'll just record my my advice.

148

So let's go.

149

心との働きを持って天地の管にあるよろずのものを取り、持って異色獣の世を達し、自由自在、互いに人の妨げをなさずして、各々、安楽にこの世を渡りしめた者の主位なり。 But

150

now, I'll

151

just

152

record my voice.

153

律語経2 Okay,

154

so that was just a little demonstration.

155

As you can see, I'm by no means perfect.

156

Definitely stumbled around a few times, but that's what it's going to look like.

157

Don't strive for perfection, just keep going even when you mess up.

158

Focus on the sound as much as possible and not really worry about the meaning.

159

So that's it for this video.

160

Again, if you have any questions, leave them in the comments and good luck shadowing, guys.

Was ist die Shadowing-Technik?

Shadowing ist eine wissenschaftlich fundierte Sprachlerntechnik, die ursprünglich für die professionelle Dolmetscherausbildung entwickelt und durch den Polyglotten Dr. Alexander Arguelles populär gemacht wurde. Die Methode ist einfach aber wirkungsvoll: Du hörst englisches Audio von Muttersprachlern und wiederholst es sofort laut — wie ein Schatten, der dem Sprecher mit nur 1–2 Sekunden Verzögerung folgt. Anders als passives Hören oder Grammatikübungen zwingt Shadowing dein Gehirn und deine Mundmuskulatur, gleichzeitig echte Sprachmuster zu verarbeiten und zu reproduzieren. Studien zeigen, dass es Aussprachegenauigkeit, Intonation, Rhythmus, verbundene Sprache, Hörverständnis und Sprechflüssigkeit signifikant verbessert — was es zu einer der effektivsten Methoden für die IELTS Speaking-Vorbereitung und reale englische Kommunikation macht.
