1
I can buy myself flowers.
2
This morning, Miley Cyrus revealing her distinctive raspy voice is due to a rare medical condition.
3
I had the Reiki's edema, which is something that is called it's abuse of the vocal cords.
4
In an interview with Zane Lowe for Apple Music to promote her upcoming album,
5
Something Beautiful, Cyrus saying the vocal cord issue likely came from long days on set during Hannah Montana
6
and a busy touring schedule in her younger years.
7
Moving my hips like yeah.
8
I have this very large, you know, polyp on my vocal cord, which is giving me a lot of the tone and the texture that has made me who I am.
9
But it's extremely difficult to perform with because it's like running a marathon with ankle weights on.
10
Rehnke's edema is a condition caused by swelling in a part of the vocal cords.
11
Symptoms include hoarseness or a deepened voice.
12
It can result in non -cancerous growths or polyps, which can further impact the voice.
13
Rankies and polyp and other vocal injuries will almost always happen in vocal athletes, singers.
14
These performers have to sing night after night after night.
15
And so what happens is they have to work through inflammation and work through discomfort and through early injury,
16
which therefore makes more significant injury all the more likely.
17
not to have surgery.
18
I'm not willing to sever it because the chance of waking up from a surgery
19
and not sounding like myself is a probability.
20
And Miley says that her new album, "Something Beautiful," is a celebration of her journey, struggles, and her voice, just as it is.
21
That new album is out this Friday, guys.
22
All right, looking forward to that.
23
Thank you for that, Eva.

מהי טכניקת השאדואינג?

שאדואינג היא טכניקת למידת שפה מבוססת מדע שפותחה במקור להכשרת מתורגמנים מקצועיים ופופולרית על ידי הפוליגלוט ד"ר אלכסנדר ארגואלס. השיטה פשוטה אך עוצמתית: אתה מקשיב לאודיו באנגלית ילידית וחוזר עליו בקול רם מיד — כמו צל העוקב אחרי הדובר עם עיכוב של 1–2 שניות בלבד. בניגוד להאזנה פסיבית או תרגילי דקדוק, שאדואינג מכריח את המוח והשרירים בפה לעבד ולשחזר דפוסי דיבור אמיתיים בו זמנית. מחקרים מראים שזה משפר משמעותית את דיוק ההגייה, האינטונציה, הקצב, הדיבור המחובר, הבנת השמיעה ושטף הדיבור — מה שהופך אותו לאחת השיטות היעילות ביותר להכנה לIELTS Speaking ולתקשורת באנגלית בעולם האמיתי.
