1
I have received quite a few comments from you guys asking me to make more videos about shadowing,
2
how I do shadowing, who I recommend shadowing, and that's what we're going to do today.
3
You and I are going to practice some shadowing together.
4
In one of my previous videos, I showed you my shadowing practice with Dakota Johnson.
5
I told you guys how much I love her voice
6
and the way she speaks is very charming
7
but for today's shadowing exercise i've chosen an interview with zendaya she is awesome and
8
so much fun i'm sure you'll enjoy it we'll enjoy it together we will try to imitate her rhythm stress
9
and manner of speaking hi i'm alba a non -native english teacher
10
and as a teacher I constantly have to work on my accent my pronunciation
11
because well this is my job right
12
and there is always room for improvement English is not my native language
13
so I know what it's like to work really hard to try your best to sound more natural
14
and feel frustrated with your English at times
15
so I think you guys can benefit from my experience
16
because we're going through the same thing we're in this together right
17
and since i'm always working on my accent i'm constantly looking for new tools to use alongside shadowing
18
and i've recently discovered this really cool app called bold voice i really like the concept
19
and i thought it would be useful for you guys
20
so i reached out to bold voice and they kindly agreed to sponsor today's video which I'm really thankful for.
21
Bold Voice gives you personalized feedback on your pronunciation.
22
It has lessons from professional accent coaches
23
and they recently launched this feature called Accent Oracle
24
which can identify more than 300 accents from around the world and we're going to test it right now.
25
So I'm supposed to speak for about 30 seconds
26
and then the app will tell me where it thinks my accent is from.
27
As the saying goes, face the truth and push through.
28
The days are so long and slow when you're young.
29
Okay, wow.
30
Your accent DNA, Russian, 53%.
31
Surprise, surprise.
32
This is interesting.
33
Kazakh, 18%.
34
Okay, but what can I say?
35
It's pretty accurate and it doesn't just identify your accent and that's it.
36
It also gives you specific feedback based on the sounds that might be problematic for you.
37
For example, it's telling me to work on my Z sound because sometimes it sounds like S.
38
And I know I have this tendency to de -voice consonants at the end of the words
39
because that's what we do in Russian.
40
I'm a native Russian speaker so for example instead of today's today's i say today's
41
so i have to practice today's not today's yeah okay
42
it's not easy to find let alone afford a personal accent coach
43
so i think bold voice is a great option if you want to improve your pronunciation your accent
44
So give Bold Voice a try.
45
Use the link in the description below and get 10 % off with my code ALBA10.
46
All right, now let's watch a clip.
47
Well, you know, Tom got the call.
48
Well, you know, Tom got the call.
49
So we're trying to imitate how she pronounces the vowels.
50
Well, you know, Tom got the call.
51
Christopher Nolan called and my heart was just so full.
52
I was so excited for him.
53
You know what I mean?
54
He's the best and he deserves this.
55
Christopher Nolan called and my heart was just so full.
56
I was so excited for him.
57
And you will notice throughout the entire video, Zendaya is using a lot of conversational fillers words such as you know what i mean
58
you know like we use them in everyday speech to connect ideas to give ourselves some time to think
59
and just to make our speech flow more naturally
60
let's see how she connects it here
61
so instead of saying you know what i mean we connect
62
it all together there's a flap t you know what i mean not
63
we know what i mean what i what i you know what i mean he's the best and he deserves this
64
And I was just so excited.
65
Also, I'm, you know, I'm obviously his biggest fan, but I'm also a Chris Nolan fan.
66
And I was just so excited.
67
You know, I'm obviously his biggest fan, but I'm also a Chris Nolan fan.
68
Let's try this last part one more time.
69
There's a lot of connected speech happening, but I'm also, but I'm not, but I'm, but I'm also,
70
but I'm also a Chris Nolan fan.
71
So when that kind of opportunity comes around, I was just so excited.
72
That kind of opportunity.
73
Again, we're connecting it all together.
74
That kind of opportunity, kind of, kind of opportunity.
75
So when that kind of opportunity comes around, I was just so excited.
76
Like I didn't even put myself in that equation at all.
77
Like we already won.
78
I didn't even put myself in
79
that equation at all let's pay attention to at all we connect it
80
and there's a flap t not at all at all let's say
81
it all together like i didn't even put myself in
82
that equation at all all right i have to say something isn't zendaya just awesome
83
she exudes charisma i absolutely love how expressive and passionate she is.
84
Anyway, let's break down her speech.
85
And then he had another meeting.
86
So he had the script.
87
I made a little, you know, peaky peak.
88
And then he had another meeting.
89
So he had the script and I may have done a little, you know, peaky peak.
90
This one is interesting.
91
What does it mean to do a little peaky peak?
92
It's just a playful way to say I had a look at something, especially when you're not really supposed to do it.
93
So she was not supposed to look at the script, but she did it anyway.
94
So she used this expression.
95
I may have done a little peeky peek and let's repeat it after her.
96
Instead of saying she may have done, we shorten it or contract and say may have,
97
may have, I may have done a little, you know, peaky peak.
98
I gotta know.
99
There's a Christopher Nolan script in my house.
100
What am I gonna do?
101
I gotta know.
102
That is just, I have to know, or I have got to know.
103
And we shorten it and we just say, I gotta know.
104
Let's practice.
105
I gotta know.
106
There's a Christopher Nolan script in my house.
107
Okay.
108
Look at this one.
109
We have another contraction here.
110
What am I going to do?
111
But she doesn't say it like that.
112
We shorten it and connect it together.
113
What am I gonna do? what am I gonna do you know okay
114
and then he went off to his meeting and then
115
when he came home
116
I was like okay like tell me all about it like
117
how was he what was it like first let's look at went off we connected
118
and we basically drop the T we don't pronounce the T
119
she doesn't pronounce the T let's listen one more time
120
and then he went off to his meeting
121
and then we went off right we connected and we dropped the t
122
and then he went off to his meeting
123
and then he went off to his meeting
124
when he came home
125
i was like okay like tell me all about it like how was he what was it like and then
126
when he came home
127
i was like okay tell me all about it like how
128
was it what was it like tell me all about it let's connect
129
it tell me all about it about it again there's flap t because the T is between two vowels.
130
So we say about it.
131
You know what I mean?
132
I was like so ready, so excited.
133
Zendaya's favorite.
134
You know what I mean?
135
I was so ready, so excited.
136
And he goes, read this again.
137
And I was like, what, why?
138
Like I just read it.
139
Like we just read it last night.
140
This is very interesting.
141
Look at how Zendaya is telling a story.
142
And he goes, read this again.
143
And I was like, why?
144
Like I just read it.
145
We just read it last night.
146
What does it mean? and he goes it basically means
147

148

149
and i am like or and i was like which means
150
and i said
151
and i reacted this way we just read it last night he's like read it again
152

153
and he's like read it again but with athena in mind
154
and i was like yo stop it right now okay i'm not as charismatic
155
and expressive as zendaya but i'm trying my best here
156
i was just like my i just yeah i freaked out i freaked out
157
which means i panicked
158

159

160
so grateful and
161
that he got to be the one to tell me
162

163

165

¿Qué es la Técnica de Shadowing?
Shadowing es una técnica de aprendizaje de idiomas respaldada por la ciencia, desarrollada originalmente para la formación de intérpretes profesionales y popularizada por el políglota Dr. Alexander Arguelles. El método es simple pero poderoso: escuchas audio en inglés nativo y lo repites en voz alta de inmediato, como una sombra que sigue al hablante con solo 1-2 segundos de retraso. A diferencia de la escucha pasiva o los ejercicios de gramática, el shadowing obliga a tu cerebro y músculos de la boca a procesar y reproducir simultáneamente patrones de habla reales. Las investigaciones muestran que mejora significativamente la precisión de la pronunciación, la entonación, el ritmo, el habla conectada, la comprensión auditiva y la fluidez al hablar, convirtiéndola en una de las metodologías más efectivas para la preparación del IELTS Speaking y la comunicación en inglés en el mundo real.
