What was I thinking the other day?
2
It's called the interlude on 12 play by R.
3
Kelly
4
They don't generally have it on karaoke things but
5
if anyone listens to that song it's referencing the name Robert quite a lot Yeah, back in the day they used to say Can I knock your boots today?
6
But they'd say What is the end of it?
7
It's basically the whole thing is how everyone used to say No Robert, no Robert, no Robert but at the end it's like, yes Robert, you go boy.
8
R. Kelly's talking to himself, his name is also Robert.
9
It's a very kind of life-affirming tune for Roberts.
10
My first job when I was 15 or 16 is I was Reese Witherspoon's son in a vanity fair,
11
which I got cut from.
12
I went to the screening and no one had informed me that I was cut, but the casting director, Mary Selway, she felt so guilty that no one had informed me,
13
but she basically gave me a first first run at the part in Harry Potter
14
so I was quite glad I got cut in the end.
15
I flew out to LA to actually audition for something else which was told I was told it was
16
mine to take it was just on a plate
17
and I went in and completely ruined the audition
18
and then the the next day it was the Twilight audition
19
and I think I was at such a kind of nothing-to-lose state it was quite easy for me to do.
20
I never really quite knew how to play a vampire though, I just sort of like this sort of pale, pale person.
21
It was such a wild experience and what a strange way to spend my early 20s.
22
I've always been interested in quite subversive kind of, I guess things that It scared me.
23
I mean, even Twilight at the time, I mean, I really thought when we first signed up to it, if it hadn't been so successful, I think people would have thought it was really weird.
24
It's a really weird story.
25
But I think once it becomes mainstream, it's difficult for people to see how strange the story is.
26
I had to give her a cesarean by chewing through a placenta, and I don't even know how to medical, how it works, but I was definitely chewing through something.
27
I saw a photo from Heaven Knows What, the Safdie brothers, Josh and Benny Safdie's previous movies.
28
I just thought, I just thought about the photo, it was just on the banner of a website.
29
I was just like, that's just an incredible photo and I just asked around to see if anybody knew them.
30
Met up with them in LA and I just really, really, I loved them in the meeting.
31
I hadn't seen any of their stuff at all.
32
And just from the strength of that meeting, we were like, let's just do something.
33
It's a good time.
34
Me and Benny Safdie, we went out a few times in Carrotillo, we got jobs at a car wash.
35
Benny started pulling off people's windscreen wipers and stuff.
36
It's very real to me.
37
I mean, we're actually committing crimes.
38
I've never done anything like it, where you just kind of full on go in character to spend an entire day in character.
39
We did it a few times.
40
Like shooting on the subway, and we're were stealing so many shots.
41
Shooting on a packed subway at rush hour.
42
We were shooting on 35mm cameras as well, big lenses.
43
One could really tell.
44
I was just getting directed by text message.
45
I can open a beer bottle with pretty much any object.
46
I can open it with a tea bag.
47
I can do it with a dollar bill.
48
If you fold anything the right way, you can get the right purchase on it.
49
Takes a while though.
50
You rip up your hand a bit as well.
51
That was my only other secret skill.
52
First kiss, it was on the roof of a building in like round the corner from my house in London.
53
Twelve, I think?
54
Eleven or twelve, it was quite old, wasn't it?
55
I guess it was a girlfriend.
56
Yeah, we used to walk home from school together.
57
And I remember being like, what does my mouth taste like?
58
It's like really, really romantic.
59
Does it taste like Marmite?
60
I think we dated for a bit until it was revealed to me that she was just like, oh no, I've started dating someone else.
61
I'm like, wait, what?

Guida passo passo al shadowing per questo video

Il shadow speech con questo video richiede attenzione alla fluidità e all'intonazione. Ecco come procedere:
1. Ascolta e ripeti frasi corte: Iniziare con parti brevi, come "I was quite glad I got cut in the end". Ripeti immediatamente dopo l'audio, cercando di imitare la velocità e il tono.
2. Focus sulle connessioni tra le parole: Pattinson usa spesso la contrazione (es. "it's", "don't") e le connessioni veloci (es. "kind of life-affirming"). Nota come le parole si fondono e ripetile.
3. Esercita la spontaneità: Il dialogo è informale, quindi non preoccuparti di essere "perfetto". Concentrati su essere fluido, anche se commetti errori.
4. Ripeti sezioni difficili: Parti come "chewing through a placenta" o "stealing so many shots" hanno vocabolo specifico. Ascolta più volte, analizza la pronuncia e ripeti finché non la senti naturale.
Questo metodo è efficace per imparare l'inglese con i video, poiché ti fa immergere nella lingua vera e propria. Con la pratica, il shadow speak diventerà un'abitudine, migliorando la tua pronuncia e la tua capacità di comprendere l'inglese parlato.

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.
