シャドーイング練習: Behind the Art - A Short Documentary - 動画で英語スピーキングを学ぶ
レッスンを作成中...
1
I used to teach some drawing classes with kids
2
and purposely give them pencils without erasers to let them think
3
of like just moving forward is more important than worrying about correcting things.
4
My parents would take me to an art center on Saturday mornings called Boulevard Art Center
5
and it's there that I became obsessed with learning tools of drawing like people
6
and still life that I would apply throughout my week
7
and I couldn't wait to go back to the Art Center on the weekends
8
and learn a new technique and then just become obsessed with that as well.
9
My name is Joe Miller.
10
I'm from Chicago, Illinois and I'm a painter.
11
You like yourself in the mirror?
12
What if I'm trying to play music?
13
What am I supposed to do? Or, wait.
14
You?
15
Oh, yeah.
16
The drawing I did with you?
17
Yeah, that's okay.
18
Oh, that's good.
19
I love that.
20
Yeah.
21
I do stuff sometimes.
22
My parents said the art classes gave me the best babysitter
23
because I would just be obsessed with drawing
24
and learning and practicing
25
that all the
26
time my
27
biggest motivation and inspiration varies from project to project
28
and day to day these days the biggest motivation is the fact
29
that i get to do this for a living is pretty amazing, and I try to stay humble and remind myself of that.
30
During the week, there's a school that walks the kids up and down this street, and I have all this footage of a group of little kids just talking about my work,
31
and they're like, oh, oh, this is so cute.
32
It's too much.
33
when I'm more active and kind of energetic and go to a wall
34
and feel like energized by this challenge
35
and then the reverse can happen where I come home
36
and want to unwind and maybe my hands aren't feeling the best
37
so I need to do something that's a little easier on the body.
38
I try to treat every project as a case -by -case evaluation.
39
What is it for?
40
What's its purpose?
41
Who is it for?
42
What do they want to do with it or feel from it eventually?
43
And it's kind of nice
44
because it lets me enter every project with a blank slate even though it is eventually coming out of me
45
and my style does come through that.
46
I like to think that it does give me a chance to start fresh.
47
Describe my artistic style is difficult
48
but I think lately it's been much easier considering it's been dominated by this colorful dot explosion
49
which everybody loves and everybody wants so I just give them what they want
50
but before that I was really trying to grow through different projects commissions
51
and seeing my work take on new forms
52
and I thought people really enjoyed seeing my work unfold
53
because they didn't know where it was going to go next
54
so that uncertainty became like what I think excited me about working
55
and other people hiring me to do projects because they're like, what's he going to do with this new given parameter?
56
To list a few favorites, working with Charles Bradley and Daptone Records is definitely one that was more emotionally driven.
57
And Dad Strength featuring my older brother and my niece, which is a very passionate project of mine, is another favorite.
58
Oh, and Canopy Tower in Panama, that one mind blowing.
59
Focus on the path ahead, you know, just go for it.
60
Don't worry about making mistakes or being a perfectionist.
61
Sometimes that journey is way more exciting and even more interesting to look at than the perfect and result.
62
I quit my job the day I graduated and figured if I want to paint I got to only paint
63
and it took a long time to get to a nice rhythm
64
and workload but it wasn't without just going going for it and not thinking about what's behind me.

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。
