शैडोइंग अभ्यास: Halsey: 'Without Me' Interview | Apple Music - वीडियो के साथ अंग्रेजी बोलना सीखें

Well, you've been on the road now supporting your amazing second album,

but it's been a long tour.

You know, I don't mind it though.

It's cool.

I'm gonna go my birthday is at the end of the month.

Great.

So I'm gonna go after the tour.

I'm gonna go spend some time like in Italy.

Yeah.

Alone for a while, but it's such a weird time for me because like

my 20 I'm turning 24

and I was 19 when I wrote Badlands and it's like I blinked and And it just feels so insane.

And, you know, it's really interesting to this record because it's going to come right after my 24th birthday.

This is such a weird thing for me.

It's so complicated because there's so much to unpack here.

But the first thing is that,

like, it's the most raw thing I've ever made and not just because of the content,

because I make concept albums.

So I have these comic book universes where I'm playing a fantasy character.

And each song is protected by the next.

It all makes sense.

Yeah, there's like a five part video series and I'm not really myself,

I'm playing someone else.

And now this song is not attached to an album.

It's a standalone record.

And that's the interesting thing about music is I was supposed to be taking a break

and then I wrote this song and it's like,

music doesn't care about your schedule.

It's like, if the timing's right,

you need to- Set it free.

Yeah, you need to put it out.

And so here I have this record where it's like,

it's just me, you know,

no wig, no colorful hair, no character.

And it's about my life and about my relationship

that the world has watched so closely and so vehemently in the past year and a half.

My fans are really going to be like, whoa.

You know, all the video content,

everything behind the song is like me.

It's just me.

It's like me in a white t-shirt with normal hair,

just singing to the camera.

No character, no cinematography, no gunfight,

car explosion, stuff like I usually do.

Is this the first song you've ever written as Ashley and not as Horsey?

I think that's the point.

Yeah, I think that's what I'm kind of getting at.

It's not protected by some character or some subplot or some,

you know what I mean?

It's like, this is really me talking about my life and letting people.

I've always...

It kind of gave me an existential crisis as an artist a little bit, because I've like...

For so long I've prided myself on being an artist who's authentic and writes about her life and stuff.

And then when I made this,

I felt just how bad it hurt.

So you wondered whether or not you'd even gone there before?

Yeah!

And it made me question myself as an artist and be like,

as an artist and be like,

have you even been accessing this part of you?

Here's the good news.

Every artist I've ever interviewed in my life who's gone there has asked that question of themselves.

You know, I mean, if you'd gone there right at the very start,

who knows where you'd be now?

I mean, you've got to warm up.

You've got to live a life.

You were 19 when you started.

I know.

You're 24, you're still incredibly young,

and you've lived a life.

I mean, you know, debut album, hard work, check.

Second album, ambitious, concert record, check.

You know, hustle for your success,

put in the graph, check public relationship.

Big check.

Yeah.

You know, big check.

I mean, these are all things you've achieved,

and so it makes sense that you're going to go ahead and you're going to write this song now,

because what would you have said before?

How would you have even gotten this out of your system?

No, we would have cared.

That's the most important thing,

is that now they care.

And they want to know what's behind the curtain.

Nah, you are different, man.

And I've said this so many times.

No one, I mean, here's a compliment for you.

I'm irrespective of the writing.

No one, when it comes to stepping on the microphone to do a take on any song in any situation,

and I've talked to Benny about this.

I've talked to PND about this.

I've talked to anyone who's actually had the guts to step in the room with you.

When you step in there and take your first statement of your verse,

it's over for anybody else in the room.

And Benny's like, oh, she's the greatest.

The first three seconds of any takes she does,

the tone she has, it's just forget about it.

It's done.

100

I think it's

101

because I don't even put my mouth in front of a microphone until I'm absolutely positive about what I want to say.

102

How do you even get there?

103

Because a lot of people have to warm up to that.

104

You know, I'm just like,

105

I think a lot of people,

106

there's two ways of looking at it is some people are comfortable improv-ing in the room.

107

That means one of two things, and they're opposite things.

108

It either means that they're so comfortable with whatever they're making or whatever they're saying,

109

they don't care if someone hears them mess up.

110

Or it means they're so uncomfortable that they need improv in the room to wait for the person to say,

111

that's good, that's good.

112

Yeah, they're looking for feedback.

113

So it's one or the other.

114

It's either that they don't need any validation or they so desperately need validation.

115

And I'm like a completely different type of writer where I,

116

when I first started writing and people weren't familiar with my work

117

or was like my workflow or I hadn't found the people I'm comfortable with yet.

118

When I first started writing,

119

I would sit in the room and like be in my phone and I could feel like producers being like,

120

is she even going to do anything?

121

And then I'd leave the room to go smoke a cigarette or do whatever and they'd be like,

122

is she even going to do anything?

123

You're in the wrong game.

124

The patience is the whole point.

125

30 minutes later, I'd come back in and I'd sing a whole song,

126

top to bottom, and they'd be like,

127

when did you write that?

128

And I'd be like, when you were wondering if I was ever going to do anything.

129

And then I'd come back in and they cut it.

130

And so I think what it is is,

131

I mean, I think I'm a perfectionist in

132

that way where I don't get in front of a mic unless I know what I'm going to say.

133

I only have like three demos the world's never heard.

134

Most artists have like a hundred.

135

And that's because I don't even start a song unless I know I'm going to finish it.

136

Wow, interesting.

137

So like I've only ever made basically the songs that you've heard.

138

No vault.

139

No, not really.

140

No vault.

141

Because I know what I want to make before I make it and I kind of reserve.

142

I reserve that instead of trying to like Frankenstein stuff.

143

Look, my first message is like,

144

you know, you are not bound to anything besides yourself.

145

I've said that in 2015 when I put out Hurricane,

146

I said, you know, don't belong to no city,

147

don't belong to no man.

148

That's always been my MO,

149

is you don't belong to anybody but yourself.

150

And then of course, situations like this complicate things when you love someone almost as much as you love yourself, maybe more.

151

Yeah.

152

Well, that's what's interesting about that line,

153

because when I first heard it,

154

I felt like you were talking to him as much as to yourself.

155

Yeah.

156

And in the past, it's like,

157

oh, you're talking to yourself,

158

like stand up for who you are

159

and don't necessarily put your self-esteem in the hands of any situation is not in your control.

160

This time it was almost like a gift as well.

161

It was like you were saying,

162

it's not about you belonging to me or me belonging to you.

163

That's what I took from it.

164

100%.

165

100%.

166

And there's like a double entendre in that as well

167

because I think the most important message for me with this is like,

168

you know you don't belong to anybody but yourself

169

and you know you're not bound to anything that doesn't serve you

170

but the second message

171

that I want to just remind everyone through this process is

172

like we're people we're people you know what I mean like you text your best friend

173

and you're like I'm done with them I'm never talking to them ever again

174

and then your dumb sorry ass is back hanging out with them again next week too

175

and if you're doing it so am I everyone's like you know people don't change people don't and that's not true.

176

That's not true.

177

And I think that it's especially convoluted when your image of yourself or your perception of yourself,

178

look, basic sociology is looking glass self.

179

We define ourselves based on how the people around us see us.

180

That's how we define ourselves.

181

So now imagine if the people around you isn't ten people, it's ten million.

182

Yeah, and it's through the eyes and lens of social media which is immediate and direct.

183

And the news is fit to print.

184

The news is fit to print.

185

So now you have this like warped

186

idea of who you are because of 10 million strangers who are trying to tell you who they think you are.

187

And it's like that completely...

188

It's like there's an exception there.

189

That's an exception.

190

My development of my identity and my self-perception and my higher self and self-awareness,

191

I kind of get a pass to experiment with it and to mess up and to figure,

192

and so does he and so does everyone else you know you're being fed self-reflection from

193

so many different So start Uninformed star says I think it's the only thing that I've experienced in the past couple years

194

that made me put my phone down

195

and say I don't care what they think

196

and I've you know me you've known me for a while now and you know I've beaten myself up

197

about what people think about me and about what people think about it and

198

so in a weird way like this relationship has been the

199

one of the most liberating thing that's ever happened to me

200

because it made me put my phone down and go I don't care what you think because this makes me happy

शैडोइंग तकनीक क्या है?

शैडोइंग (Shadowing) एक विज्ञान-समर्थित भाषा सीखने की तकनीक है जो मूल रूप से पेशेवर दुभाषिया प्रशिक्षण के लिए विकसित की गई थी। विधि सरल लेकिन शक्तिशाली है: आप मूल अंग्रेज़ी ऑडियो सुनते हैं और तुरंत इसे ज़ोर से दोहराते हैं — जैसे वक्ता की छाया 1-2 सेकंड की देरी से। शोध से पता चलता है कि यह उच्चारण सटीकता, स्वर, लय, जुड़ी हुई ध्वनियाँ, सुनने की समझ और बोलने की प्रवाहशीलता में काफ़ी सुधार करता है।
