1
If you were going to give someone like one exercise
2
or habit that they should build over the next 30 days to improve their communication, what would it be?
3
Give me a thing about it, too.
4
That's a tough one.
5
Yeah, let me think about it.
6
Oh, I know what it is.
7
Hit me.
8
I know exactly what it is.
9
Oh, gosh.
10
Well, you've done it many times.
11
Oh, no. Record yourself and watch it.
12
Ooh.
13
cringe like the rest of us do
14
at all of your weird little habits and facial expressions and how your hair looks and what you wore.
15
Go ahead and cringe and be nice to yourself and be objective and look at it and adjust.
16
It's the fastest way to learn what's going on
17
and how you might want to adjust it to show up the way you want to show up.
18
It's really the fastest way.
19
So break it down.
20
So we record ourselves for what, 60 seconds, three minutes?
21
It doesn't need to be long.
22
Just record, but try to record under real conditions.
23
Like try to create the conditions that you're gonna be speaking in.
24
So put your phone or your device or whatever it is up and then stand up if you're gonna be standing up.
25
Oh, interesting.
26
You know, do, or on Zoom, if you're gonna be presenting on Zoom, record it.
27
Jump on Zoom and record it.
28
That way you can see how you're coming across, how it feels.
29
If you like it, a lot of times people watch it and they're like, oh, that's not nearly as bad as I thought.
30
I don't seem nervous.
31
So often it's really good feedback, but even the cringy feedback.
32
Everyone feels that way the first time.
33
It's weird.
34
I sound so weird.
35
Does my voice actually sound like that?
36
Yes, it does.
37
Oh my gosh.
38
When I was younger, I remember getting in a debate with someone because they heard themselves like, I don't sound like that.
39
And I was like, yes, you do.
40
No, I don't there's something wrong with recording
41
it's like what do you mean exactly this is exactly how you sound i read somewhere
42
that the reason for that is
43
because you hear your voice internally all day long yeah and
44
that there's some kind of discrepancy like cognitive dissonance or something
45
when you then hear it recorded it's like just weird yeah well you're in i hope it is
46
because if not then i do sound really weird
47
but to your point like i do think
48
there's almost an element of like exposure therapy where like you just
49
you watch yourself a couple times
50
it's not as bad as you think although you probably need
51
to watch to see where do I need to improve right like there's certainly some questions
52
you need to ask yourself about am I pausing long enough am I talking too quickly yeah
53
and my advice would be when you watch it try to find one thing huh I could be more concise.
54
And then that's it.
55
Just let's focus on that.
56
I can improve how I'm organizing my thoughts.
57
I can try to say what I'm trying to say in fewer words.
58
Maybe that's the focus.
59
Or maybe I find I have a go -to filler word.
60
One time I watched a video of myself and my takeaway was sometimes when I really want to emphasize a point, doing it with my chin.
61
My chin is making the point.
62
Right, right.
63
And ever since then, when I feel myself doing that, relax with the chin, Cloud.
64
It's okay.
65
Relax with the chin, Cloud.
66
Right?
67
You've got to talk to yourself, you know?
68
That's funny.
69
There's a little bit of humor about it.
70
But if you can just understand that it's going to be cringeworthy and it's going to be fine.
71
And no one else cares.
72
No one else cares.
73
No one is sitting around thinking about how you did.
74
Yeah.
75
No one cares.
76
That's actually maybe one of the most powerful things
77
that I think helps me get over some nervousness of like
78
people don't think about you as much as you think about you.
79
Or at all.
80
Right.
81
It doesn't matter.
82
Oh, there's this.
83
I want to.
84
I'll send you this after.
85
There's this hilarious social media influencer.
86
I think he's Australian.
87
And what he does is apparently he used to be the super quiet, shy guy who had social anxiety
88
and the way he got over it was basically realizing
89
that you can do the most ridiculous things in public
90
and no one actually cares so he'll like be on the subway
91
and he just starts like dancing yeah and he records himself
92
and then actually what happens is like people smile
93
and he's like me knowing that like i'm just a character
94
and it doesn't matter what's happening it's
95
so funny right i'm just a person in target to this right exactly right then they'll forget about me tomorrow
96
but it's funny because actually what really happens is he starts acting
97
so carefree and joyful and then everyone around him likes it
98
and they start right yeah exactly yeah um i love
99
that there was a woman dancing in target the other day my dog are you serious yes
100
i saw her from across the aisle it was some
101
i don't remember what song it was like some awesome 80s song
102

103
and she kind of danced right she had the courage to do it yes
104
and i was like
105
and i looked at her like absolutely i love it absolutely you're dancing in this target that's
106
so funny but Yeah, it's contagious.
107
We're all walking around so like, I couldn't possibly.
108
Right.
109
That won't be okay.
110
You know, I won't be okay.
111
I'll be mocked.
112
I'll be.
113
Yeah, you just got to free yourself from that.
114

115

116

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.
