シャドーイング練習: Emma Watson Reveals the Dark Truth Behind Red Carpets & Hollywood Pressure - 動画で英語スピーキングを学ぶ

I've worked with so many young people, musicians, who've all been told, like, "All right, if you don't do this over the next 12 months, you're not going to make it." Yeah.

Or like, "If you don't do this right now, if you don't say yes to this song or this movie, it's like, you might as well wave it goodbye.

You're never going to get the Oscar or the whatever it may be

or the Grammy or whatever it is." And I can't imagine being a young person, like I'm 37 now and it's,

you process, ideas like that differently.

Yeah.

If you're in your teens or...

even 20s, and maybe even 30s, but you process those statements with so much gravitas,

especially when it's someone of influence and power saying it to you.

Yeah.

It feels like being surrounded by people who really believe in you, and your longevity and your art verses, but that's hard to find.

It is.

It's hard to find...

And You know, I...

I had a wonderful team.

Like I really did.

I think it's just like, understanding that no one at the end of the day is going to be in the room, like when you're actually doing the thing,

you have to carry that moment and you have to carry that pressure.

Also, making films, the hours on them are so demanding that to have...

your own life alongside that, to have that balance.

is almost impossible.

It's so all or nothing, it's so all -encompassing, especially if you're in a lead role.

you kind of go through these you know, working six days a week, 14 to 16 hour days, and then you're just kind of dropped off at the end of it

and maybe you'll have a two or three month gap and then there's just kind of like, nothing.

And so you're like riding this like incredible peak of like adrenaline and cortisol, and then you just get like dropped off the edge.

And then you're like, "Okay, wait, now I have to be a functioning human again.

And I have to like figure out how to be a person in the real world." And

I think some of those extremes...

then force an actor to either decide, "Well, I'm going to back -to -back it, so I'm going to basically go from one movie to the next,

and that's going to be my full life." Or you have to navigate these huge impacts on your nervous system

that you need a system and a support system to help you navigate and I think it's why addiction and

mental illness in my profession and in a lot of high -stress, high -profile professions is so commonplace.

Because you're trying to balance out these enormous chemical,

ups and downs yeah talk to people about why

because i think from the outside yeah when someone sees a red carpet yeah

or when someone sees an event it looks really glamorous like until i ever attended anything

and yeah you know i i always looked at it as like oh my gosh it's

so glamorous and everyone's there and everyone must be friends

and everyone must know each other because they all you know

but but then you're not saying that and neither is and and anytime i've ever been on a red carpet

experience and people are almost waiting to leave yes

and some people do the red carpet and leave immediately

but what's going on there like walk us through like i

mean for people who may not i think the first step is to just understand

and even though you're wearing an incredibly glamorous dress, and you're there to do something exciting,

I don't think there's anything that can make it not weird that people are...

screaming at the top of their lungs.

Like it just, everything in your body says something's wrong.

Like people are screaming, something's wrong.

But then you have to try to pretend as though this is all normal and you're unfazed.

So you have like two things going on.

One, you're like navigating this like...

sensory overload that's like telling you, "Oh my God, something is really wrong." - You had a pose telling you where it's a look, telling you.

- Yeah, yeah.

So you're trying to navigate, "Okay, something feels wrong, but I need to also simultaneously make it seem as though I am the most graceful

and the most calm I've ever been in my whole life.

And I need to like pose for this person

and there's 50 different cameras and I need to make sure that I look perfectly into each and every one.

different notes from the stylist about how I'm supposed to stand and what I need to do for the dress.

And then I've got like, 25 different talking points from the movie of like what I need to get across and also avoid saying or talking about.

And so you're like, you need to be thinking about that.

And the juggle is crazy. And then...

I think...

Everyone is in this like kind of

jumped upstate and so like trying to have a normal conversation with anyone is basically impossible

because you feel like an insane person and so these are not environments in which you like

have a nice chat with someone really I mean maybe

if you're really lucky and you've worked with someone for a long time

and you've established some trust but I think that was the other thing

that was like really difficult about movies and what like I kind of laugh at well not in a mean

when you're like promoting these big films like

so do you guys hang out on set

and like do you guys hang out and like are you all friends

and everyone sort of like nods enthusiastically

but the truth is no one has seen each other outside of work like very very very rarely mostly

because the schedule is insane everyone's so tired that

when they get any time off you're going straight back to

your hotel room to try to like claw in any piece of rest that you possibly can and you Like,

I don't know, like it friendships require time and trust and presence and.

those things like very rarely come about.

They can and they like do occasionally but it's more of a more of a you know, solar eclipse than an everyday situation.

So yeah, but you have to pretend.

I think that's the part that starts to feel.

icky after a while is like you have to pretend that you're all best friends.

And what's so sad, and I know this isn't just the case for me, but like, I think people wish they were.

I think we wish we did have those real connections and we did have that real support.

And so having to pretend that something exists that you actually really want, but don't have is like,

it's like pretty grainy in the wound, you know, it's like, it's pretty like tough pill to swallow to have to act you wish were real but isn't real.

Yeah.

And I think that's the part that starts to kind of...

yeah i can only speak for myself but those are definitely the moments where i've been like

this feels dark like anyone else like this feels dark um - Yeah.

- Yeah.

- And there's such a real reminder that, it's still work and it's almost like asking anyone who works at any company and saying,

"Hey, do you hang out with your team after work every night?" And the answer is, probably no. Yeah, no, everyone's going home to their family.

And maybe you've got a couple of, of course, you've got a couple of friends at work

and it's wonderful if you have a friend at work that you work out with or see after hours, but you're not hanging out as the whole crew.

It's very unlikely.

100%.

100

And it is that reality check of, no, but this is also just work.

101

And their character stories and not their personal stories.

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。
