シャドーイング練習: 7 POWERFUL Storytelling Secrets to Level Up Your Communication Skills - 動画で英語スピーキングを学ぶ

do you struggle with storytelling i want to share with you

seven storytelling secrets that's going to unlock the storyteller in you i've been teaching communication skills

and storytelling now for over a decade i've spoken on thousands of stages

and i work with some of the biggest companies in the world this stuff has been tried

and tested it works let's get into it

so my question is i've been trying to tell my personal stories to my clients

and they're coming to consult me to help them with our issues i'm imagining myself sharing a personal story okay

and i'm just imagining the client just kind of like gazing at me

and wondering what's why am i telling the this irrelevant story to them

so pretend i'm one of your patients pretend i'm one of your patients

and share a personal story and try to link it to me

and let's just use this as a testing ground

and we will workshop it as we go

and i think this is going to be very beneficial for everyone here

because now you get to see how the sausage is made

what kind of clients normally come to you what are they

coming to you for what's the issue i'm a physical therapist

so they come to me to solve their pains

so say i've got uh i've got back pain tell your story link it best you can

and then i'll uh then i'll start to put the sausage together with you i'll count you down

so three two all right

so the story is in 2017 i went on a trip to new zealand

and um we were doing a road trip with another couple friends

and on the third day i was trying to be really tired

and cranky and it was actually a very special trip for me

and my fiance at the time but i was so angry and tired at the time that there's one night.

So I would have to specify that on that trip, on the beginning of the trip, my fiance proposed to me.

And on the third day, I was so tired and cranky

that I started having an argument with him to the point of me throwing a flip -flop at his face.

So that's my story, I'd say.

I have no idea how to link that to back pain.

Okay, okay.

Got it, got it, got it.

I love it.

Love it.

Okay.

So I just was typing a couple of quick thoughts.

Okay.

So the thing is, first of all, before we find the link, this story is amazing.

I love it.

There's so much drama, so much intensity here.

One thing I want you to just take note of in the story is that when you were hangry, give me a little bit of dialogue on what you were both saying before you threw the flip -flop at his face.

So you say, I was hangry, I was tired, right?

And all of a sudden, he said this and then say what he said.

And then I said this and then say what you said.

And I was sewing, I threw the flip -flop and hit him in the face.

So I just want to say that's a main point because that takes a story to another level of engagement.

And then the link, I really think the link here is really clear in that when you're not feeling your best, you're not the best version of you that you can be.

Whether it's hangry, whether you had sore feet, you can add that, we're doing a lot of walking.

I had sore feet.

I was hungry.

I was tired.

I was in pain.

And at the end of the story, you can say, Vin, the reason I'm telling you this story is

because if we don't address some of the things that cause us pain, whether it's hunger pains or whether it's pain that we feel in our feet,

it causes us to be going through life irritated, sometimes treating the people we love most with a slap in the face with a thong.

So, I want to help you improve upon the pains

that you feel in your life because I know what that's going to do.

It's going to help you lead a happier and more fulfilling life so that you can be the best version of you.

Show up as the best version of you and that you don't throw thongs in people's faces.

Wow, Vin, that's so good.

You're hired.

Right.

Yeah, thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you very much indeed.

It would be weird if I was shit at this.

But I think the most important thing is I want you to do that again and then just give it a try.

Okay?

And just give it a try.

And you can add in there, if you're in New Zealand, were you doing hiking in New Zealand?

Did you do some hiking?

Yeah.

Great.

So your feet are sore.

My feet was sore.

I had hunger pains and one of the most beautiful moments of my life.

But you know what?

We had an argument and then play the scene.

What did you say?

What did your husband say?

What did you say?

What did your husband say?

I need you to do your husband's voice.

He was like, what's wrong, baby?

I need you to do that.

Okay.

Because your husband doesn't sound like you, Louise.

You'd be like, well, what's wrong?

You know, do that dopey guy's voice that guys do.

We always sound like that.

What's wrong?

Why did you sit on your hands?

Because that sounds even really annoying, right?

And you'd be like, oh, I'm hungry

and i need you to play it up the emotions i'm hungry i'm cold

and then you haven't stopped when i wanted to have lunch

and it's build up

that intensity a little more for me playful playfulness don't be

100

afraid of the safe environment all right let's go round two

101

in three don't think about it two give it the best

102

you got bring the characters to life go for it my

103

trip to new zealand on the first day my husband proposed

104

to me we spent two great days hiking looking at the great scenery in New Zealand.

105

But on the third day, I was starting to be really tired.

106

We walked a lot.

107

I didn't sleep well.

108

and I was getting hungry.

109

We weren't eating on time either.

110

So on that evening, on the third day, my husband asked me, so Louise, how are you feeling?

111

Are you okay?

112

I said, no, I'm really tired.

113

He asked me, well, if you're tired, just go to sleep.

114

Then I said, no, actually, I'm just, it's not that I'm just tired.

115

I'm hungry.

116

I'm really hungry, and I'm cold.

117

He said, well, if you're cold, just put your hands under your lap.

118

Then I went, I don't like this.

119

So I kicked my flip -flop, one flew over his head, I kicked the other one, that one landed on his face.

120

So the reason why I'm telling you this story is that don't ignore your hunger, pay attention to your needs and take care of your body.

121

Because when you don't, then you don't show up the best version of yourself.

122

Oh, I love it.

123

Can we give her a big round of applause in chat? big round of applause for louise

124

that was amazing louise my only thought here to share with

125

you is you you crushed it almost immediately you you did

126

so well so coachable love

127

that you applied the lessons we've learned i would only say

128

in parting here don't be afraid to play more don't be

129

afraid to play more right you took the playing from like

130

a two to a four i'd love to see you take it up to an eight

131

and i mean it right because the most beautiful thing about storytelling is when we're playing with dialogue like that, we want people to feel like they're actually there with us.

132

And while you're playing the characters there, give yourself the freedom to be even overly animated because it's okay.

133

It's not you.

134

You're just saying, and that's what my husband said.

135

And I would tease him a little more, you know, and I'll play that part because that's so powerful.

136

And then now you see the link, you can't unsee it.

137

So I would go through the linking process

138

because the way I was able to do that was when I was listening to you tell the story, I was like, oh, what else does this story symbolize?

139

This story symbolizes feeling hunger pains, pain in my feet.

140

And I was like, that's it.

141

That's the link into the pain in my back.

142

You did great.

143

How good is that?

144

Imagine you're sitting down with an expert and you're feeling back pain and they start with a story like that, that deeply engages you, that builds deep connection with you.

145

And then they link it to what you're going through and how you're going to help them lead a more healthy life, as opposed to just coming in and then starting the process.

146

One creates connection, creates rapport, creates depth.

147

Then you go into helping them.

148

Beautiful

149

that was amazing well done did you see what we just

150

did there louise didn't just learn a new storytelling skill she immediately learned

151

and then right after that took action and applied the lessons

152

that she learned and she was immediately able to get results the problem with the world today is

153

that we're so addicted to knowledge acquisition we just keep learning learning learning learning

154

and we never apply anything that's why the majority of people in the world feel hopeless

155

and they feel like oh i'm uninspired i can't get anywhere it's because inspiration comes from taking action.

156

And if you feel inspired from this video and you want to take things to the next level, I'm running a free two -hour masterclass titled, Unlock Your Voice, Unlock Your Potential.

157

Come join me.

158

We won't only just learn in this session, we'll also apply the lessons we learn.

159

Just click the pinned comment below, save your spot.

160

Back to the video.

161

How can I make storytelling more engaging and memorable?

162

All right, Greg, I think one of the most fun things we could do right now is, do you have a story you can share?

163

I do software development and design and I also teach martial arts.

164

Do you have a story around martial arts you can tell me?

165

I lived in China and studied Shaolin and Tai Chi.

166

Wow, okay.

167

Was there a moment there that stands out to you?

168

Probably.

169

I don't know.

170

Okay.

171

Well, let's try because your question is about how do we bring the story to life and make it more engaging?

172

Why don't you tell me about a moment that stands out

173

and we'll keep it as short as you possibly can share a moment

174

that stood out while you were learning shaolin we're in the middle of a forest

175

and we got to teach qigong

176

which is breathing exercises where we got to study how to better breathe

177

and flow of energy in our bodies one of the best

178

experiences i ever had was sort of after practicing for a

179

while was when i actually really got to feel that

180

that energy and that connection with nature

181

when i was practicing my breathing exercises in the morning in the middle of this peaceful, quiet forest in the middle of China.

182

Beautiful.

183

Okay.

184

Okay.

185

Right.

186

So now, now your question is then, Greg, you asked, how do I make the stories pop more?

187

How do I make it more vivid and engaging, right?

188

Okay.

189

So a couple of questions for you.

190

First one, what's the name of your teacher?

191

What was your teacher's name?

192

Master Ting.

193

Master Ting.

194

Okay.

195

So Master Ting.

196

Now you see, one thing to make the story more engaging is specificity.

197

When you add more detail, the story comes to life more so specificity is important so instead of just saying my teacher

198

right master ting and describe master ting a little bit right so how

199

if you had to describe him a little bit to give us an idea of what his stature was like

200

and how he dressed what would you say he he was a uh not a very large large man

201

but uh he was very old so short in stature he Kind of let himself go.

202

The picture of the quintessential martial arts master after 30 or 40 years where they've kind of semi -retired, you feel like it.

203

He smoked and drank a lot.

204

He also was quite opinionated and sometimes if you ask too many questions would kind of shoo you away.

205

And what would he say while he's shooing you away?

206

He would mutter sometimes under his breath.

207

And what would he mutter in Chinese?

208

He would normally mutter sort of, you know, just do what I showed you.

209

Okay.

210

Do you know any Chinese, Greg?

211

It was a very long time ago.

212

My brain is very poor.

213

Okay.

214

No, no, that's great.

215

That's good.

216

Okay.

217

So you can also make the story come to life, not only by describing Master Ting slightly, because when you did, all of a sudden, you painted a picture for us, right?

218

And then I could see people smile when you said, you know, He was a little bit, he was letting himself go a little bit, he smokes, he drinks, and all of a sudden, you're painting this picture now.

219

This person comes to life for us more, whereas before, it was just your master.

220

And when you said that, I was just imagining Bruce Lee, but now I'm kind of imagining like a different character forming, right?

221

Which is kind of interesting.

222

And like you said, you know, he'll mutter under his breath like, oh, just shut up, right?

223

And you can give him some dialogue

224

because the second thing you can do is now bring him to life by giving him a little dialogue, right?

225

So what would he say under his breath?

226

Even if he said it in English, what would he say?

227

Like he said, normally he'd just say, just do the technique.

228

I love that.

229

So you can feel free to play with a, give him a little dialogue for fun and say, you know, and he would just say to us, just do the technique and shut up.

230

You know, and you can kind of play with it a bit

231

because then it brings his personality to life

232

because that's the kind of attitude that I feel that he's coming across with, right?

233

So again, specificity brings a story to life.

234

dialogue adds color to the story okay and just like in louise's story

235

when you've got that dialogue back and forth

236

when a story has a little bit of dialogue back

237

and forth back and forth back and forth

238

that brings the story to life even more now here are some tips

239

that are very important for storytelling you want to tell the story around a peak emotional moment or a peak action moment.

240

Steven Spielberg, I think, was the person who said this.

241

He said, a movie is just life without the boring bits.

242

And I think that gives us a really good indicator of what great stories are.

243

Stories are, you tell a story around a peak emotional moment or a peak action moment.

244

So, during that story, I didn't really notice a peak emotional or peak action moment.

245

So, I would think back to during that story, was there a peak emotional moment that you had

246

or a peak action moment where he showed you some form of martial art

247

that all of a sudden inspired you or he said something to

248

that story the the peak part was the connection

249

and feeling one with nature while practicing the breathing um the other part was the part

250

that i didn't tell about master ting um i guess uh

251

relieving himself like in about five meters away from me in the in the middle of the forest

252

while I'm trying to practice my breathing exercises.

253

Where he peed while you were.

254

That's a great moment.

255

That's a great moment, right?

256

So that part links to the peak emotional moment of being one with nature.

257

And imagine telling that story, you said, like, again, you can bring it by bringing drama.

258

So you can use your delivery mechanisms being your voice to be able to increase the storytelling ability.

259

But imagine you did something like this

260

and I'm gonna get you to try it in a sec

261

you can say use the word imagine the word imagine is very great really good for storytelling

262

so you go imagine you're in the forest in in the east of china leaves are blowing just

263

effortlessly through the wind and while i'm sitting there taking deep breaths

264

oh i felt this sense of calm and and i've never heard the sounds of birds and And all of a sudden, I could hear this beautiful stream that I didn't know was close to me.

265

And I was like, wow, the stream is, what a strange stream.

266

It starts and it stops and it starts and it stops.

267

That's quite an interesting stream.

268

And then as I opened my eyes to investigate, Master Ting was peeing next to me.

269

It wasn't a stream.

270

He was taking a good old piss.

271

And all of a sudden, that story now just came to life

272

because I was focusing on the peak moment

273

and all of a sudden we're able to tease out these parts of a story right

274

and then you could relate the story you could you could almost end the story

275

and you can say

276

and you know what the reason why i tell you about this moment in my life is

277

that when you meet your heroes and you realize they're human some people find it disappointing But for me,

278

I find it inspiring because it shows me that even the greatest people in this life, the most amazing people, they're human just like you and I.

279

All of a sudden now, that story has this depth and this meaning.

280

So, can I challenge you to give that a go?

281

Sure.

282

All right.

283

So, just give that a go.

284

So, just, you know, I want you to take a breath.

285

Right?

286

And even you can say Master Ting was close to me and he said, you know, I want you to take a deep breath

287

and then let it out

288

and then do his voice a little bit have a bit

289

of play do a little bit of be a little playful okay

290

so just try it again

291

and then link it to meeting your heroes being human etc

292

just give it a go in three two go for it

293

imagine uh you're in this beautiful forest uh with the wind

294

blowing uh you can hear the nature sounds of birds chirping

295

and uh little insects around buzzing around um you're relaxed you're

296

trying to practice your qigong your breathing methods you're breathing in you're breathing out um you're starting to feel

297

that sense of you know tingles running up the spine as you feel one with nature

298

and uh all of a sudden you start to hear this flow of water

299

and you kind of wonder I'm not quite so close to the lake

300

so what is that sound and as you open your eyes

301

and turn over to my shoulder to the right I realise

302

that Master Ting's there relieving himself in the middle of the forest next to me

303

while I'm trying to practice my qigong

304

so the reason why I was quite shocked But the reason I'm telling you this is, you know, sometimes when you meet,

305

you know, the people that you look up to or that are inspirational,

306

it makes you understand and realize that these people are human just like us and they have the exact same needs.

307

They need to relieve themselves.

308

Sometimes they just do it next to you.

309

Oh, I love it.

310

You did amazing.

311

And I love the way you said it.

312

Someone said it in the chat i'm going to call it

313

out it's like as i was feeling the tingling in my

314

hands someone was taking a tingle behind me master ting was

315

having a tingle by katherine well done how did how did

316

that feel greg as you did

317

that i it good it kind of um it actually kind

318

of took took me back to the moment a little bit

319

as i was kind of looking over my shoulder to you see okay

320

so you just unlock something there on your own and i'm

321

so proud of you because

322

when you act out part of the story it allows you

323

to relive the story whereas a lot of people just report stories

324

and that's the first iteration of you doing

325

that you're reporting the story right meaning you're just giving us the list of historical things

326

that happened whereas all of a sudden now what i'm encouraging

327

you to do there is to relive the story right right

328

and then by you reliving the story for them you also feel it

329

and i heard you laugh that time you tell it too you chuckled and when you feel it, the audience will feel it.

330

So, I got you to do that as well, Greg, because I wanted to show everybody else.

331

Storytelling is one of those things where you have to give yourself permission to just start the process and start creating.

332

And while we're creating, we create masterpieces, but you have to start.

333

And most people don't start.

334

They'll go, all right, I'm going to go do storytelling

335

and they go i don't know where to start you doesn't matter where just begin

336

and then always start to focus where's the peak emotion where's the peak uh peak emotion

337

or peak action moment and another one you can look for is you can also look for where lessons were learned

338

usually there's like a peak moment where the lesson was learned

339

you can tell the story just around where the lesson was learned just around the peak action moment

340

or just around the peak emotional moment.

341

And those are great ways to tap into this massive pool of creativity.

シャドーイングとは？英語上達に効果的な理由

シャドーイング（Shadowing）は、もともとプロの通訳者養成プログラムで開発された言語学習法で、多言語習得者として知られるDr. Alexander Arguelles によって広く普及されました。方法はシンプルですが非常に効果的：ネイティブスピーカーの英語を聞きながら、1〜2秒の遅延で声に出してすぐに繰り返す——まるで「影（shadow）」のように話者を追いかけます。文法ドリルや受動的なリスニングと異なり、シャドーイングは脳と口の筋肉が同時にリアルタイムで英語を処理・再現することを強制します。研究により、発音精度、抑揚、リズム、連音、リスニング力、そして会話の流暢さが大幅に向上することが確認されています。IELTSスピーキング対策や自然な英語コミュニケーションを目指す方に特におすすめです。
