Compassion actually comes from two Latin words.
2
I studied Latin at university, don't ask me why.
3
The first word is the word for suffering which is 'patior' a P -A -T -I -O -R, and it's pyphysipal passus, which means suffering.
4
And the con part, obviously, for anyone who knows any Spanish or Italian, is with.
5
compassion means suffering with so to have compassion for someone is to suffer with them.
6
what they're suffering with.
7
whether that's pain or grief, Oh.. addiction or Poverty or uh.. illness or even happiness.
8
You can have compassion for someone's happiness, I suppose.
9
Compassion makes me think, of kindness Compassion makes me think of forgiveness, of... of empathy.
10
Yes, those are the things.
11
Compassion, is kindness forgiveness and empathy lack of judgment.
12
care.
13
Concern.
14
and Weirdly, I have this picture of a woman smiling.
15
I don't know, that's the first thing that comes into my head.
16
Compassion is about understanding.
17
Thank you.
18
Um...
19
Compassion is without ego.
20
Um...
21
Thank you if that's possible for actors.
22
I don't know.
23
As an actor, I to have compassion as an actor.
24
is to have compassion for the characters that I play.
25
That's what it means to me.
26
and and that whatever they're going through, Whatever there.. predicaments.
27
and I have to suffer with them Um...
28
I have to understand and I have to and not judge it.
29
I have to be...
30
forgiving of it.
31
whether it's a circumstance or their true nature, To have compassion for another human being is
32
To have compassion for a character is no different from having compassion for another human being.
33
If you're playing a character to have compassion for them is um...
34
is to play them honestly.
35
And so I suppose suffering with them is to suffer There.
36
arrogance.
37
or their misogyny. or their insanity.
38
I think that's why for example, Iago is as compelling as Ronio.
39
Because within all of us, there is the capacity to be anyone or anything.
40
And that's the place where compassion comes from, is that understanding that I could be like that.
41
if circumstances have been different.
42
There is an Iago and a Romeo within all of us, there is that lover and there is that sociopath.
43
And so to play Romeo you have to have compassion for his predicament.
44
He's not allowed to marry Juliet and yes, that's really infuriating.
45
to the point of and rebellion and then his you know, the predicament of Act 5 where they're, you know, in the coffin together.
46
and and to have compassion for Iago is to understand he He's sad.
47
He's damaged, he's hurt, he's hurt by all the people in the play that he feels hurt by. And, um...
48
And that extends to every script I read to look for um you know,
49
to look for the possibility of who that person is in me.
50
and that's compassion.
51
Yeah.
52
That's it.

¿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.
