शैडोइंग अभ्यास: Michael (2026) - The Making Of A Michael Jackson Movie | Behind The Scenes - वीडियो के साथ अंग्रेजी बोलना सीखें

I remember

the very first time when I had a call with Graham King, the producer.

He spoke to me about it.

It was so early on, it was a lot to take in.

I'd never acted before, I'd never wanted to act,

so I had a lot of conflict with it because I wasn't sure if I could really do it or not.

So then I got with an acting coach and I really want to learn what is acting, you know, and start there before trying to embody Michael.

So I did that for about a year and then I started to really study Michael's videos, his lyrics, everything about him.

And that's when I started to embody him.

I just felt that the world needed to see him up the side of Michael that they can't see on YouTube.

And, you know, he's not been with us for a while now.

So it felt like this bringing him back and bringing his music back and celebrating him.

I could not imagine anyone else playing the part.

When I met Jafar, he's such a sweet spirit.

I could tell he had the same sort of spirit as Michael.

But when he started to perform, that kind of blew my mind because he's never done it before.

It all started with the set list of songs because we can start anywhere.

But I think when we got the script

and we had a breakdown of each song that was being presented in the film, we sort of, that was our starting point.

From that point, you know, it was just about figuring out how to start, which was with the foundation, and just knowing how to build from there.

And then also a lot of studying, a lot of homework, a lot of research, and we studied, you know, us three, me, my brother,

and Jafar would just sit at a computer and just watch Michael Jackson performances

all day and then we would pause and just we would just have conversations

and to see how he would articulate what he's watching because Michael would learn by watching the television.

That's right.

He never went to a dance studio so we wanted to make sure Jafar was

fully equipped with knowing how to pick up with learning from his watching.

I collected a large archival of footage I gather from YouTube

and any other websites of all the dancing and even just off camera.

He didn't realize he was on camera, like just in a conversational setting.

And I used that to really immerse myself and dissect everything in that way.

And then just allowed that to kind of channel through me.

I spent a year just researching and going into the archives and reading his private notes to himself, interviewing his brothers and his family, trying to get some insights.

And also, I was a huge fan.

I mean, Thriller came out the year I graduated from college, and in Chicago, it, like, changed the world.

So, you know, I never got tired of that.

It came out of nowhere, really.

When Graham King called me about directing it, I wasn't thinking about directing a Michael movie.

I'm excited that he did.

But, yeah, it's important to me.

I think Michael's legacy is important to keep alive.

I think any great artist like that that's given us so much, we should try to learn a little bit more about it.

And this is an opportunity to do that.

Watching Jafar stepping into the loafers.

Well, you know what?

That's something that we used against him a lot.

It was part of our secret weapon.

It was like, OK, do you think it's good enough?

Do you think it's good enough?

But what do you think your uncle think is good enough?

Do you think Michael think it's good enough?

You know what I mean?

And then it got quiet.

And you know what I'm saying?

But like, it's just surreal to see him.

You know, he's a Jackson, obviously.

And what amazing family to come from, to be a part of that bloodline, the Jackson bloodline.

That's excellence, that's black excellence of America.

All we wanted to do was to honor and celebrate Michael.

You're going to see the process in which he took from becoming a young child star to becoming an adult star.

And I think, you know, the difference between us and him is that he had millions and millions of people watching him

as he was trying to go through the process of self-discovery, which is difficult for everyone.

And so the story is told from his point of view.

You really are inside of his mind watching the film, and I think that that's super important and amazing, and something new.

And that's the story that Graham King and Antoine Foucault set out to tell.

I think it's a blessing that I still will figure out later in my life

about exactly what I've been experiencing with Jafar.

He is divine.

He is love.

He is spirit.

He is dance.

He is truly the only one that could have played Michael in this film.

It's interesting.

I think the young generation are going to see a side of Michael they've never seen before.

They know him from the bad era on.

And we're going back to the roots into Gary, Indiana.

And I think the young generation are going to learn a lot about Michael that they didn't know.

You know, it was the performances, it was, you know, Motown 25 when he did Billie Jean, and suddenly you saw the moonwalk for the first time.

You know, and also just his personal story, because I think that's what's so rewarding for audiences, is they've seen great performances,

but they get to find out who Michael Jackson actually was and what his struggles were.

The concert scenes alone are incredible.

Like, if you never got a chance to see Mike in concert, this is as close as you're gonna get.

Jafar is out of this world, and Giuliano as well.

And those moments in between, you know, those little quiet moments in between, you get sort of a peek behind the veil and see the man, the humanity behind the icon.

I had a research book, over 800 pages, of just Michael's looks and the Jackson 5.

It was very important for me to replicate what was available to me in current day, as far as fabric, but even down to the rhinestones,

even the socks and the gloves.

And so I like to say his spirit kind of guided me through LA to find certain things

that allowed me to recreate his look almost to a T.

It's a spectacle.

It is an epic story with, you know, as loud as you could play it on the widest possible screen to see those performances

and to see him explode the way he exploded in life.

That's the way Michael would want you to see it, so you can feel that magic and I think it's important to get immersed in it through the big screen,

through the big sound and especially with the performances but also those little moments where you want to see that, the emotion in the eyes so you can only get that on the big screen.

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।
