1
Hi everybody.
2
Thank you.
3
Thank you very much.
4
This is Berkeley.
5
I just simply couldn't resist.
6
And I know it's early, but you did great.
7
You did really good.
8
Congratulations everybody, how are you feeling?
9
Are you feeling relieved, are you feeling exhausted as well?
10
I can imagine.
11
Yeah, must have been a crazy week.
12
It is my total honor and thrill to stand here alongside you.
13
This is my first time graduating as well,
14
so we're in the same boat.
15
Thank you.
16
You know, somebody told me something when I was young that really stayed with me,
17
which is that when we learn music,
18
we learn all there is to know.
19
That's what someone said to me.
20
And the older I've got,
21
obviously now I'm a ripe old age,
22
the older I've got, the more I've realized this is deeply the case.
23
Because, wow, because music is powered by so many of the things that make life possible and make life worth living.
24
These foundational pillars at the heart of it,
25
trust, empathy, courage, tenacity, irreverence,
26
reverence,
27
mathematics and physics,
28
syntax and spelling and language
29
and at the heart of it all this this process of listening that drives all of us to
30
Fall in love with sound and all the first things we can do with it
31
And I think that if this reflects anything It's just
32
that you're only as good a musician as you are a human being
33
In the in the words of the great Victor Wooten he says you know the world doesn't need more good musicians
34
The world needs more good people.
35
But it just so happens
36
that being a musician is a really good way of being a good person
37
because of all the principles that are built in.
38
And I have to be honest,
39
when I was just a wee lad,
40
I'm still kind of a wee lad,
41
but when I was even weir,
42
there really wasn't a path for Jacob.
43
There wasn't an obvious kind of direction of travel because I loved everything, right?
44
I loved all across the spectrum of genres,
45
all across the spectrum of instruments.
46
I didn't have one instrument that was really mine.
47
I loved so many different kinds of sounds.
48
And I wanted to mix and produce and sing.
49
And I wanted my cake and to eat it.
50
And I think when I look back to being your age,
51
I could never have designed a pathway to this podium here.
52
I had to trust.
53
But it wasn't just about trusting myself.
54
I think it was about trusting the people around me.
55
And one thing I really believe to be true as an artist,
56
as a performer, as a human,
57
is that you are only as powerful as you make the people around you feel.
58
It's so true from the stage.
59
It's so true in the studio.
60
It's true in any kind of creative process.
61
And if you give your voice to others,
62
as I often like to do,
63
you get your voice reflected right back.
64
And I think that at an artist's greatest and brightest,
65
an artist is a mirror to you.
66
And I say, as an artist, I'm here.
67
And hopefully you see something in yourself and say, oh, that's me.
68
I'd forgotten.
69
Or now I remember that feeling.
70
I look back to the artist who inspired me so much as a child know Stevie,
71
Prince, Sting with with all those records you played on Vinnie it was pretty pretty ridiculous stuff.
72
Joni, Bob Dylan, Bobby McFerrin,
73
Johann Sebastian Bach, shout out to Bach,
74
Bartok, Stravinsky, all these people you know I don't think
75
that any of them could have designed their pathway they had to just trust
76
and so if there's anything I would particularly like to impart upon you other than just hearing you sing
77
that great chord just then I would just I I would say trust each other because nobody knows what's coming next.
78
I don't know, these guys don't know,
79
not even Jill Scott knows.
80
It is an unprecedented time to be a human and to be a musician,
81
and the only thing we can do is we can trust each other.
82
And I think that in a world where agency is being taken away,
83
it's this radical thing we can do to open ourselves up to the vulnerability
84
and the beauty that music provides to us as people,
85
as communities, and if there's any bunch of young musicians that makes me really hopeful and really excited,
86
I'm looking right at it.
87
This is such a special place.
88
It really is a special place.
89
I will never forget that feeling of coming to Berkeley in 2015 when I was so young and everything was unknown.
90
It was the first time I'd ever encountered anybody who knew me in the real world,
91
in the physical world.
92
Because I made all these videos.
93
And then I came to Berkeley,
94
and there were real physical people who smelt like people,
95
who seemed to endorse my super arch hyper mega meta Lydian ideas.
96
And I was so thrilled and I felt so at home.
97
And I'm just
98
so proud to be here alongside all of you at this most extraordinary moment in musical history and human history.
99
And I'm deeply, deeply proud to be graduating alongside you.
100
So thank you so much for having me.
101
Deep, deep congratulations.
102
And best of luck for all that lies ahead.
103
I know you're going to absolutely rock it.
104
Thanks, everybody.
105
Thank you.

Perché praticare parlando con questo video?

Praticare l'inglese parlato con discorsi significativi come quello di Jacob Collier offre numerosi vantaggi. Innanzitutto, ti consente di acquisire maggiore familiarità con il linguaggio colloquiale e le strutture grammaticali utilizzate dai madrelingua. Il contesto di una cerimonia di laurea rende il discorso non solo emozionante, ma anche ricco di espressioni autentiche che riflettono reali esperienze di vita. Utilizzando tecniche come shadow speak, puoi ripetere il dialogo immediatamente dopo averlo ascoltato, migliorando la tua pronuncia e la tua intonazione.

Grammatica ed espressioni nel contesto

Nel suo intervento, Jacob usa vari elementi grammaticali e espressioni che meritano attenzione:

  • Domande retoriche: "Come vi sentite?" Questa struttura coinvolge il pubblico e stimola una riflessione personale.
  • Unioni di idee: "Il mondo ha bisogno di più buone persone." Qui, l’uso del congiuntivo enfatizza l’importanza di un’applicazione pratica della moralità nella musica.
  • Frasi complesse: "Essere musicisti è un modo veramente buono per essere una buona persona." Questa frase mostra una correlazione tra la musica e le qualità umane, utile per unire concetti.

Analizzando queste strutture, puoi migliorare la tua capacità di esprimerti in inglese, soprattutto quando si tratta di creare frasi più elaborate e significative.

Trappole comuni nella pronuncia

Ci sono alcune parole e frasi che possono risultare difficili da pronunciare correttamente, ascoltando Jacob:

  • “Empatia”: Fai attenzione alla pronuncia della "e" iniziale, che deve essere chiara.
  • “Tenacia”: La “c” può essere confusa con una “s” in alcune lingue, ma in inglese si pronuncia come una "k".
  • “Risonanza”: Assicurati di pronunciare correttamente le sillabe, enfatizzando la seconda parte della parola.

Utilizzando tecniche di shadow speech, puoi esercitarti a ripetere queste parole esattamente come le senti, correggendo eventuali errori di pronuncia e migliorando le tue abilità di conversazione. Imparare l'inglese con YouTube offre questo e altri metodi per affinare le tue competenze linguistiche in modo divertente e coinvolgente.

Cos'è la tecnica dello Shadowing?

Shadowing è una tecnica di apprendimento delle lingue supportata da studi scientifici, originariamente sviluppata per la formazione dei traduttori professionisti e resa popolare dal poliglotta Dr. Alexander Arguelles. Il metodo è semplice ma potente: ascolti un audio in inglese di madrelingua e lo ripeti immediatamente ad alta voce — come un'ombra che segue il parlante con un ritardo di solo 1–2 secondi. A differenza dell'ascolto passivo o degli esercizi di grammatica, lo shadowing costringe il tuo cervello e i muscoli della bocca a elaborare e riprodurre simultaneamente i modelli di discorso reale. La ricerca dimostra che migliora significativamente la precisione della pronuncia, l'intonazione, il ritmo, il discorso connesso, la comprensione dell'ascolto e la fluidità del parlato — rendendolo uno dei metodi più efficaci per la preparazione alla prova di speaking dell'IELTS e per la comunicazione reale in inglese.
