1
And then I didn't get the job.
2
But then he called back and he said, do you want to be P?
3
I said, I'll be anything.
4
Hi, I'm Mia Goth, and today I'm letting Elle ask you anything. Am I nervous?
5
A little.
6
Which Frankenstein co-star surprised you the most?
7
Probably the creature.
8
I was taken by how much humanity there was in his performance.
9
Even with all of the prosthetics, It was very easy to connect with him in our scenes
10
and I guess that that was probably what I found most surprising.
11
I had a little anxiety I guess as to how that was going to work and how that would feel, but it kind of turned out better than I could have hoped
12
and ended up being some of my favourite scenes in the movie.
13
Maybe Blue Valentine with a little bit more funny sprinkled in here or there?
14
We should do that.
15
Yeah, I think that's what my rom-com would be.
16
What's one role you wish you had auditioned for?
17
I don't think I've ever turned down an audition.
18
If anything, the question should be, what job are you glad you didn't get?
19
Because more often than not, you end up watching the movie and you kind of think, oh, well, glad I dodged a bullet there.
20
Who's giving you the best career advice?
21
Probably Lars von Trier when I was filming Nymphomaniac, my first movie.
22
We sat down and he told me to go through the script
23
and just cross out any of the lines or the directions
24
that weren't working for me and to put in place something that was.
25
The longer I do this, the more I see how right he was about that about
26
that and how it's so important to own your character and for it to feel right coming from you.
27
And it always stuck with me and just generally as an actor.
28
What was your most memorable audition?
29
Maybe my Nymphomaniac audition because it was quite a lengthy process.
30
And I remember I was so nervous and I was in London and I was there early and I was very hungry.
31
So I went and got a cheeseburger at Burger King.
32
And I went in for the audition and after
33
that I had to fly to Copenhagen Then me and Lars had sushi and I remember thinking to myself, I don't know how to use chopsticks.
34
I'm like, my mum always told me to learn how to use chopsticks.
35
I didn't know how and I thought I fucked it up and I'm not gonna get the job.
36
And then I didn't get the job.
37
I was like, oh.
38
But then he called back and he said, do you want to be Pete?
39
I said, I'll be anything.
40
What's your favorite red carpet look of yours?
41
My dress that I just wore to the Venice Film Festival.
42
That was designed by Jonathan Anderson for Dior.
43
It was this beautiful chocolate brown satin gown and it just felt
44
so beautiful in it and I really don't think I've ever felt better on a night than I did that night.
45
How many takes did you do for Pearl's final monologue?
46
What happened was we were in this little studio.
47
We had these tents and I remember I was in one tent
48
and then Ty was in the other but I could hear everything that was being said.
49
And then he was like, well, if Mia can't do it, it's okay.
50
We can always cut between the takes.
51
Like, we've got a backup.
52
And I heard that and it crushed me because I was preparing for this for so long and I was like, I was ready.
53
And I thought my director didn't believe in me.
54
And I think hearing that really kind of motivated me even more and kind of was exactly what I needed to hear, was exactly what Pearl needed to hear.
55
And so maybe we ended up doing it maybe three or four times.
56
Which roles of yours challenged you the most creatively?
57
I think Elizabeth in Frankenstein was quite challenging.
58
I've been such a huge fan of Guillermo's my whole life.
59
I remember being in geography class.
60
I was about 12 years old watching Pan's Labyrinth and it really, like, sticking with me.
61
And yeah, I mean, working with him is like being in a constant hug all the time, felt very supported.
62
And he knew how nervous I was.
63
And the fact that it was Guillermo del Toro having a chance to make the movie
64
that he was always meant to make.
65
That pressure never really left me.
66
But he was incredibly supportive and I learnt so much from him.
67
Probably that whatever it is I choose to do with the character, I can't go wrong with it.
68
that after we had met the character of Elizabeth kind of came to life
69
and he was able to finally put her down into the script
70
but up until that point she was just like this rough sketch
71
and so whatever it is
72
that I decide to do with the character it will be the right choice and to follow it.
73
What's one line from one of your films that fans quote to you the most?
74
I'm a star!
75
I'm a star!
76
Which horror film has actually kept you up at night?
77
I don't think a horror movie has ever kept me up at night.
78
It takes a lot to scare me.
79
Thanks so much for watching and make sure to check out my Elle cover.

Consigli per la pratica

Quando pratichi il shadowing utilizzando questo video, segui questi consigli:

  • Ascolta attentamente: Presta attenzione al modo in cui Mia Goth esprime le sue emozioni. Nota il suo uso del tono per trasmettere sentimenti come l'ansia e la gioia.
  • Ripeti immediatamente dopo: Riprendi le frasi subito dopo che le hai ascoltate, cercando di imitare anche il ritmo e l'intonazione. Questo ti aiuterà a migliorare la tua pronuncia e a rendere il tuo inglese più naturale.
  • Usa un dizionario: Se incontri parole o frasi sconosciute, prenditi il tempo per cercarle. Comprendere il vocabolario in contesto può arricchire il tuo apprendimento.
  • Prenditi delle pause: Se il video è rapido, sentiti libero di mettere in pausa e ripetere le frasi più volte. Non abbatterti se non riesci a seguire immediatamente; il shadowing in inglese richiede allenamento.
  • Riascolta il video: Dopo un paio di tentativi, prova a riascoltare il video senza ripetere. Questo ti aiuterà a capire meglio la fluidità e la struttura del dialogo.

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.
