'Cause they're just great people.
15
Yeah, I'm a huge, huge Potterhead.
16
I went to, actually was performing close to Universal in Florida and went to Harry Potter World for the day.
17
And I went into the room where they like choose your wand for you, like it's a very like big moment.
18
That wand was chosen for me and then I brought it home and now I cast spells on everybody. Who did Sabrina Carpenter?
19
voice in Phineas and Ferb.
20
It's interesting 'cause I ended up working with the creators, Stan and Swampy, of Phineas and Ferb on my next animated series,
21
"Milo Murphy's Law." But I was just like a small guest role.
22
I went in for the day
23
and it was kind of like one of my first voiceover
24
jobs where they just had me do a bunch of random voices.
25
So I literally don't even remember who I would have even played.
26
But there's throughout a few different episodes, like me just as random guest things that they would need, or crying or random stuff that they use all the time.
27
So I have no idea.
28
If you find it, let me know.
29

32
I'm still working on it. Who?
33
I am Sabrina Carpenter.
34
Lyrics?
35
Am I just like not remembering my childhood at all?
36
Yeah, I guess that was a song that I like cover in the talent show.
37
That was like one of my first guest appearances on a show, which was really interesting to perform.
38
I will be completely honest, I don't remember the lyrics.
39
I'm not going to toss it in your face.
40
I'm going to go this way.
41
What's Sabrina Carpenter?
42
What is Sabrina Carpenter allergic to?
43
I've been dying to talk about this because all my friends forget.
44
apples and almonds, apples and almonds.
45
They're like, okay, cool, cool, cool.
46
So I like see them the next day and they're like, Serena, I got you these almonds if you want, like, or like I just made almond butter.
47
They're always forgetting my allergies, but I can have like baked apples, really random, but like raw apples I'm allergic to.
48
And then yeah, anything with almonds, which is unfortunate.
49
I'm also slightly allergic to dogs and my cats as well
50
and uh peaches oh i forgot the main one metal it's
51
a really random one like nickel like i'm allergic to metal
52
so like anytime like i wear like fake jewelry really expensive
53
days um anytime i wear fake jewelry like i break out my ears bleed essentially
54
and then if i wear like jeans like it's a whole thing
55
so the struggle is real what time was sabrina garbender born you and me both want
56
but then some years it's 11 :52, 'cause I don't remember.
57
But it was in the morning, I believe.
58
What does Sabrina Carpenter say in French?
59
Which means, "My heart is yours forever." And that's like a lyric in one of my songs, Paris.
60
I wrote this bridge in French.
61
I guess I just wanted to learn how to say that, 'cause I always tell people that my heart is theirs forever.
62
I give it away so easily.

71
We had Woody, Bo, Ginger and Mocha and then they all grew up.

So I got to do two shows.
94

110
Although it's funny, I'll never forget one night we went to this restaurant in Georgia and like, Literally three people that night stopped us to ask us if we were twins.
111
I kid you not we look nothing alike and And they were just convinced they're like, oh my gosh, you guys are the most beautiful twins you're ever seen.
112
We're like What?

Oh, I thought that was the end.
143
Photography account.
144
So you're talking about my sister.
145
We do look very similar, to be fair, because we're related.
146
But my sister has an iconic photography account called Don't Shake the Polaroid because she's an iconic photographer.
147
That's really funny that you think it's my photography account because we look alike, I guess.
148
And she posts a lot of photos of me, to be fair.
149
We love taking photos together.
150
It's like our favorite thing in the world.
151
I'm very, very lucky to...
152

Smash that follow button.
154
Not there, but like wherever it is.
155
Does Sabrina Carpenter have any special talents?
156
No. No, I'm kidding.
157
I pretty much share everything that I have to offer.
158
I don't think I have any special talents other than like the eyebrow thing.
159
Like I can do that, but you can't see because I have bangs now.
160
But underneath the bangs, they're dark enough.
161
I like do like the caterpillar wave.
162
eyebrows does Sabrina Carpenter play an instrument I do I play a bit of piano, guitar, bass, ukulele and drums
163
when i'm feeling rhythmic does serena carpenter have siblings i do
164
i'm the baby of my family i have three older sisters
165
and i have a puppy go in
166
and two cats does serena carpenter dye her eyebrows
167
so that's crazy someone looked that up
168
because they were like they're too dark i don't buy it
169
unfortunately they're natural yeah this was the way you know man upstairs was like Yeah, I don't know what to tell you.
170
I'm confused.
171
as well, but I was born a blonde with dark eyebrows.
172
"Is Sabrina Carpenter related to the Carpenters?" If I say yes, will you believe me?
173
I've always wanted to say yes to this question because I don't know where the musical thing comes from in my family.
174
My parents are not.
175
singers or songwriters.
176
My mom's a dancer.
177
But no, not related to the Carpenters, but big fan.
178
Sabrina Carpenter playing Spider -Gwen.
179
Oh my gosh, that's so funny.
180
Don't know.
181
I feel like any time Marvel is brought up, by the way, I get this immediate panic.
182
Even if I'm not working with them, just like the sheer thought of maybe working with them, that I'm like, I can't give away anything.
183
Is Serena Carpenter a Gemini?
184
No. And I feel like a quicker search would have been, "What's Serena Carpenter's birth sign?" or zodiac sign.
185
I'm a Taurus, actually.
186
Is Serena Carpenter a dancer?
187
Yeah.
188
I started dancing when I was two, because my mom put on me and all my sisters in dance lessons, which was so fun.
189
And then I really was dancing for quite a long period of time until
190
I was maybe like 14 or 15 and then I kind of stopped for a while.
191
But I got to dance again in my Netflix movie, Work It, which was really fun.
192
That was like the first time I danced in a long time.
193
So I was like sore.
194
Is Sabrina Carpenter going on tour?
195
Yes.
196
eventually.
197
The dates aren't out, But definitely, touring is a huge part of my life, and I'm always kind of gonna love it.
198
When it happens and when it's safe, I can't wait to see everybody.
199
Like, so excited.
200
to play the next album on tour.
201
What?
202
Sabrina Carpenter.
203
"What's Sabrina Carpenter's first song?" The first song that I released kind of officially, I guess was "Can't Blame a Girl for Trying." Real big throwback.
204
Meghan Trainor actually wrote that song, which is kind of how I met her.
205
Let's talk about ukulele.
206
That song is fully ukulele, so sweet.
207
Very different person who sang that song versus now.
208
It's so funny 'cause like some friends of mine, like they just always love that song.
209
They're like, "That song's still banged so hard." What is Sabrina Carpenter's new song about?
210
Skinny dipping?
211
Glad you asked.
212
It's kind of a multitude of things.
213
It truly is kind of this like inner monologue, inner dialogue with yourself, but also kind of coming to terms with your past
214
and your present and kind of being able to like sit with the discomfort of things
215
that have happened in life and not hold a grudge or hold any resentment, but just be able to like skinny dip and water into the bridge. Be free.
216
Iconic.
217
I played Princess Vivian, one of Sophia's friends, classmates, and I had this cute pet dragon.
218
I know, kind of a subtle flex.
219
I think I first auditioned for that show when I was like 11.
220
I was so young.
221
Also, my character, if you look her up, she has the craziest bangs.
222
Like, you thought we had bangs?
223
Like, she has bangs.
224
She was on some other wave, too.
225
They're like the short ones.
226
I don't know.
227
She's...
228
She's cool.
229
What movies does Sabrina Carpenter play in? on Netflix.

They get annoying at times.
260
I have to trim them pretty often.
261
Thanks for being a fan.
262
Sabrina Carpenter, yellow dress, work it.
263
I actually love that.
264
It's so interesting to know like the character wardrobe that people like really gravitate towards.
265
And that dress was like a custom dress so I could be able to like dance a little bit easier in it.
266
But we modeled it off of another dress that was like a red dress in that same shape, but I love the color yellow.
267
So I was like, can we please make it yellow?
268
Winter. Do gymnastics.
269
Big question mark.
270
I cannot do a flip.
271
However, I can do the splits and I could do a round off
272
and I could do a one handed cartwheel when I'm sober.
273
So can Sabrina Carpenter cook?
274
Also big question mark.
275
I can watch people cook really well and give them support.
276
I'm like a big like you're doing great type of person.
277
I wish I could cook a comfort meal.
278
I have so much comfort in my life.
279
Can Sabrina Carpenter speak Japanese?
280
You know, not a lot but what is it, onakasuita, I think means I'm hungry.
281
Because I remember a fan said that to me once, and then I said it on stage 'cause I thought it meant something else.
282
And then they all started laughing, and I was like, what?
283
Like, what did I just say?
284
Like, did I say something bad?
285
And they were like, no. And then like someone was like, you said you're hungry.
286
And I was like, fair enough.
287
I was like, honestly, I am, so it worked out.
288
Can Sabrina Carpenter draw?
289
I do love to draw.
290
I don't know how great I am, but I do love to draw in my free time.
291
My grandma was an artist, So drawing is one of my favorite therapeutic, calming activities.
292
Can Sabrina Carpenter sing for us?
293
Now every song I've ever thought of is just gone.
294
Why do I keep singing Sean Kingston in my head?
295
Oh my gosh, I'm so sorry microphone.
296
I'm thinking of the most random songs in my head right now.
297
Amy Winehouse.
298
You Know I'm No Good by Amy Winehouse with two lyrics.
299
Misplaced.
300
So, spill those on yourself.
301
Someone wants to know if I dyed my eyebrows.
302
That's shocking, I guess, because they're homegrown locally.
303
Yeah, that's so interesting and nothing about my feet.
304
So great day.
305
Thanks so much, Wired.
306
You guys are the best.
307
I hope you enjoyed.

¿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.
