1
Do you get on the show floor and play a lot of games?
2
I mean I'm definitely a gamer but I'm not a fanatic I would say.
3
I like playing games but I'm so busy with making music
4
that every time I feel like I'm playing a game it really has to be with other guys
5
or the tour bus or you know.
6
When I'm sitting at home and playing games I really feel like I'm wasting the valuable time that I can make music.
7
I don't really game at home so much.
8
It's more on tour all the down time, you know.
9
Right.
10
People just show us.
11
So do you guys have a new album coming out?
12
Called Transgressions.
13
We'll be out in August.
14
Cool.
15
Are you going in a different direction or are you straight up?
16
Well, it's definitely Fear Factory.
17
I think it's more, we didn't like, you know, we didn't really specify the typical Fear Factory riffs.
18
I think there's a lot more variety like in the songwriting and riffs.
19
And I think it's not just, you know, when you do your typical Fear Factory riff, you're like, you know, okay, that's Fear Factory.
20
But I think there's gonna be some people being surprised, and, oh wow, I wouldn't expect that to Fear Factory.
21
So I think in a certain way we've kind of evolved to help both of these things and try different ideas.
22
How does the songwriting process go?
23
It's basically just Ray and I getting together with an FDC and a guitar.
24
Low volume, nothing really major.
25
He started writing drum programs, and I started writing riffs.
26
And we combined parts, and we'll see what sticks.
27
And it becomes really good and magical, and keep those parts.
28
And just start building, kind of like brickwork.
29
And then he plays, for instance.
30
Foundation, and he started building a house off.
31
Cool.
32
So what do you like better, working in the studio or touring?
33
I like both.
34
Because once you're building something in the studio, you just want to take it out of the road.
35
And once you're out on tour for a couple of years, you just want to go create the next thing.
36
So it's always kind of, it's about the same thing with video game companies, you know.
37
They work in the game for two years building something.
38
And then once it's out, they already have their heads up to make it the next thing.
39
So, movies, same thing.
40
Cool.
41
Do you want to talk about your tattoos at all?
42
Ah, sure.
43
Alright.
44
Let's start on this arm.
45
It's all done by a guy in Australia called Dave Rant.
46
And he's a very old school, he's actually an old school biker from Scotland.
47
But he lives in Sydney, the south of Sydney.
48
like in the mountains over there.
49
He does all this freehand.
50
Wow.
51
So he doesn't do any overlays?
52
No, so every time I go to Australia, I go to the same guy.
53
Cool.
54
He's like in his 60s, an old man.
55
He's really like a top of the line guy.
56
Cool.
57
What about the other?
58
Same thing, huh?
59
Only this piece.
60
All the rest is just things I collected when I was a kid.
61
You don't really know how to combine your tattoos.
62
I don't know.
63
Just kind of like blast some things together.
64
I don't know.
65
Tattoos, they never get finished either.
66
Right.
67
So you'll be done when your whole body's covered?
68
I feel like when I close my eyes, I'm still going to be done with all the tattoos.
69
It's just a never anything battle.
70
Right.
71
You know, they came up with the same artists again that started something.
72
My schedule was just thick.

このレッスンについて

このレッスンでは、インタビュー形式の動画を使って英語学習を行います。自然な会話の流れ、口語表現、そしてリズムを理解し、シャドーイングの練習に役立てましょう。インタビュアーと被験者のやり取りから、日常的な質問や答えのパターン、専門用語の使い方などを学び、実践的な英語力を向上させます。

重要な語彙とフレーズ

  • fanatic:熱狂的な人、マニア
  • down time:空き時間、暇な時間
  • evolved:進化した、発展した
  • songwriting process:作曲プロセス
  • freehand:手描きで、下書きなしで

練習のヒント

この動画の会話は自然なスピードで進行し、口語的な表現が多いため、shadowspeaksやshadowing siteを使ってシャドーイングの練習をすると効果的です。まず、動画を何度か聴いて全体の流れを把握し、次に一つ一つのセリフを分解して発音やイントネーションに注目しましょう。特に、「I mean」「you know」などのフィラーワードの使い方や、疑問文の調子が重要です。

シャドーイングの際は、発声を大きくしてもらっても大丈夫です。声を出すことで、口の筋肉が慣れ、自然な発音が身につきます。また、動画で英語学習をする際は、字幕を見ながらではなく、聴き取りだけで理解できるように努力しましょう。最初は難しいかもしれませんが、繰り返し練習することで、聴解力とスピーキング力が同時に上達します。

最後に、shadowingの練習を終えた後は、自分で同じ質問に答えてみることで、表現力を養いましょう。この方法で、実際の会話でも自信を持って英語を使うことができるようになります。

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。
