Hello. Hi. I don't know.
3
I don't- I don't know how to do this.
4
I feel like- I feel like I was waiting- I was waiting to figure out how to do it and I was like, I'll just wing it and then now I'm sitting here like, alright, well.
5
What do I do?
6
Do I just, like, rip the band-aid off and...
7
Turn around!
8
Okay, obviously I can't just turn around.
9
Ah, I don't know what to do.
10
What do I do?
11
Look, it's Dream!
12
I don't know what to do.
13
Patches just took my chair.
14
Guys, that's it.
15
No face reveal.
16
Guys, this is a Guinness World Record.
17
Look, I'm a Guinness World Record holder.
18
Because I'm just so cool.
19
Alright guys, I'm behind the green screen.
20
I'm dropping it.
21
In 3... 2... 1...
22
Look at this bed, guys.
23
Okay? I have a whole setup.
24
I don't need it, but like, now I do.
25
I'm gonna sleep in here.
26
Look, it's a soundproof room.
27
It's perfect.
28
The lawnmowers are going off and I'm just...
29
in this bed.
30
Alright guys, 100 million likes and I take off the blanket, okay?
31
Until then, you don't get it.
32
You don't get it.
33
50 million subs and we remove the blanket.
34
This is it.
35
Come on, subscribe.
36
Please. I'm so nervous.
37
Do I just, do I just drop it?
38
All right, for real, I'm dropping it.
39
Hi. It feels so awkward talking to a camera for the first time.
40
Hi, my name is Clay.
41
Otherwise known as Dream online.
42
Um. May have heard of me, may have not.
43
Maybe you clicked on this video just out of pure curiosity, and you don't care who I am.
44
But now you've seen my face, and so obviously you know who I am, and I'm just so...
45
Cool, I don't know.
46
Well, a lot of you are probably wondering, why now?
47
Why are you finally revealing your face?
48
You haven't shown your face this entire time.
49
And it's because George is my best friend.
50
He's been in the UK.
51
Trying to get a visa to come to America.
52
To come move here.
53
And move in with me and Sapnap who have been living together.
54
If you've seen my other videos, Manhunt so on, you've met them.
55
If not, then you should.
56
They're awesome.
57
And in about, I don't know why I checked.
58
I don't have a watch on.
59
It's like, okay.
60
George is going to be in the airport.
61
And I'm going to meet him for the first time.
62
I've known him so long it feels like my entire life.
63
I mean, Sapnap I've known since I was like...
64
11, literally.
65
That is a long time, a very long time.
66
George, he's uploading a video on his channel where he meets me for the first time.
67
Shows up at the Dream Team house, He'll meet Patches.
68
My goal was to just...
69
Start doing things.
70
Get out. Meet creators.
71
Say hi to my friends, finally.
72
Um. Just get out in the world.
73
Be an actual creator.
74
Be a person.
75
I've been bunkered up.
76
You don't know, the people trying to leak my face trying to find out what I look like, trying to...
77
There's too many.
78
It's a little, just a tiny bit too much.
79
Kind of in the sweet spot where it's like, yeah A lot of people don't like me.
80
They still do it.
81
A lot of people do like me.
82
They might also still do it.
83
You know, I love you guys, but sometimes.
84
Little far.
85
I honestly, I don't know what else to say.
86
I spent the last couple days Face-revealing to all of my friends on FaceTime And a bunch of other creators just to get a little more hype as well.
87
I- no script.
88
I was like, alright, I'm gonna turn on the camera that George helped me set up.
89
Of course, and go, and just talk.
90
And hopefully my setup's cool.
91
I tried to make it cool.
92
Got the YouTube dream- oh Can I- okay, I've never pointed on camera.
93
Uh, uh, uh.
94
Wait, how do I point?
95
How do I point?
96
There we go.
97
Wait, there we go.
98
Look, it's a learning experience.
99
We'll learn together.
100
I mean, what does this mean for me?
101
I'm gonna keep making the same content.
102
Uh, I'm gonna make Minecraft videos.
103
I don't plan on adding a face cam, to be honest.
104
But I will make more IRL content as well.
105
Where I'm with me and my friends and we do things.
106
And I'll do Minecraft content as well, where...
107
I'm in real life.
108
Like, there was a cool video idea I had a long time ago that I couldn't do until now.
109
Lots of creative ideas coming up.
110
But yeah, now you guys have seen my face.
111
Question's over.
112
What does Dream look like?
113
This is me, unless I'm an actor.
114
Might be an actor.
115
Watch, watch it.
116
Watch this closely.
117
There'll be a couple frames my mouth doesn't line up.
118
Make your edits, haters and fans.
119
Make both your edits.
120
I'll laugh at the funny ones and that's about it.
121
I feel like I've gotten so desensitized to hate...
122
that I find a lot of it funny that I probably...
123
maybe shouldn't.
124
Like I got a text saying hey this is agent something from the FBI And I was like oh the FBI.
125
My number got leaked great.
126
And it was actually the FBI and they're like yeah.
127
There's a threat on your life.
128
I thought it was funny.
129
My mom did not think it was funny.
130
There's a tiny bit of humor.
131
This is probably a little scuffed.
132
Just as the rest of my channel is.
133
I mean, my icon's drawn in paint.
134
With the default like paint.net lime green.
135
Okay? This channel is living proof.
136
That anyone can do anything.
137
Kind of anyone can be under the mask.
138
And I don't want My face reveal to take away from that fact because it's true and it can be.
139
And you can do it if you want to.
140
Dream could have been anyone from anywhere.
141
I love you guys from the bottom of my heart.
142
The impact that you guys have had on me and my family and my friends and everyone around me.
143
Impacted my life in every way you can possibly think.
144
And I just know that from now it'll be...
145
Even bigger, even crazier.
146
Um. And that uh.
147
I will be forever in debt to my viewers.
148
And to my subscribers.
149
And, um... I love you guys.
150
That's it. I love you.
151
I appreciate you.
152
Umm.

Qu'est-ce que la technique du Shadowing ?

Le Shadowing est une technique d'apprentissage des langues fondée sur la science, développée à l'origine pour la formation des interprètes professionnels. Le principe est simple mais puissant : vous écoutez de l'anglais natif et le répétez immédiatement à voix haute — comme une ombre suivant le locuteur avec un décalage de 1 à 2 secondes. Les recherches montrent une amélioration significative de la précision de la prononciation, de l'intonation, du rythme, des liaisons, de la compréhension orale et de la fluidité.
