Tanya Cushman Picture this.
0:01.70 – 0:09.00 (7.3s)
3
You're going on a boat trip, and you get on board with your family, and you've got your bags, and the captain comes out to greet you and says, Hi, my name's Montana Bonfless.
0:09.10 – 0:24.10 (15.0s)
4
I'll be your captain for this journey.
0:25.94 – 0:27.72 (1.8s)
5
So, oh boy, let's just have a great trip, sorry.
0:29.12 – 0:34.44 (5.3s)
6
Nope, get me off of this boat.
0:37.10 – 0:39.26 (2.2s)
7
What we want in that moment is for the captain to walk out and say, hi, my name is Montana Von Fliss.
0:40.70 – 0:47.58 (6.9s)
8
I'll be your captain for this journey.
0:47.38 – 0:49.60 (2.2s)
9
Let's have a great trip.
0:49.42 – 0:51.34 (1.9s)
10
The point is, when you are the speaker, you are the captain for that journey and how you show up really matters.
0:52.18 – 1:00.14 (8.0s)
11
For the last 17 years, I've coached thousands of speakers all over the world, from big tech companies to small startups.
1:00.90 – 1:08.48 (7.6s)
12
And everyone, from new hires to CEOs of Fortune 500 companies, want to know how do you show up and look confident.
1:08.92 – 1:18.18 (9.3s)
13
So I'd like to share my top five tips for how to be confident, even if you're not.
1:18.72 – 1:23.76 (5.0s)
14
So let's break it down.
1:24.16 – 1:25.76 (1.6s)
15
What was the difference between those two captains?
1:26.10 – 1:28.60 (2.5s)
16
What did you see?
1:29.10 – 1:29.94 (0.8s)
17
What did you hear?
1:29.94 – 1:30.80 (0.9s)
18
And not just one seemed nervous, one seemed confident, but what was I doing differently to make you think that?
1:30.64 – 1:39.24 (8.6s)
19
Different volume, different words, certainly different body language, but the truth is, I wasn't actually feeling particularly confident.
1:39.58 – 1:50.04 (10.5s)
20
I was just making certain physical and vocal choices to make you think that.
1:49.82 – 1:55.22 (5.4s)
21
You can do that too.
1:56.22 – 1:57.34 (1.1s)
22
Anyone can do this.
1:57.94 – 1:59.64 (1.7s)
23
So what are those confident-looking choices?
2:00.08 – 2:02.54 (2.5s)
24
Number one, turn up the energy and speak up.
2:03.30 – 2:07.34 (4.0s)
25
When you speak up, even just a little bit, it reads as confident.
2:07.02 – 2:12.12 (5.1s)
26
And you don't have to shout.
2:11.94 – 2:13.72 (1.8s)
27
Think about it this way.
2:13.72 – 2:15.08 (1.4s)
28
On a scale of one to ten, aim for a five.
2:14.74 – 2:18.68 (3.9s)
29
Yes, it goes to eleven.
2:19.28 – 2:21.08 (1.8s)
30
But you can just aim for a five.
2:23.54 – 2:25.48 (1.9s)
31
I'm here at a five right now.
2:25.40 – 2:27.62 (2.2s)
32
I can bring it back down to a three down here.
2:27.14 – 2:29.78 (2.6s)
33
Nervous captain was down here.
2:29.34 – 2:31.22 (1.9s)
34
And then we bring it back up to a five.
2:30.70 – 2:32.68 (2.0s)
35
And it sounds prepared, positive, and confident.
2:32.34 – 2:36.06 (3.7s)
36
So turn up the energy and speak up.
2:35.78 – 2:38.62 (2.8s)
37
Number two, pause.
2:39.80 – 2:42.16 (2.4s)
38
Like a boss.
2:42.02 – 2:45.08 (3.1s)
39
Nervous speakers tend to talk really fast, right?
2:46.74 – 2:49.34 (2.6s)
40
And then when they do have a pause, they fill it in with verbal filler, likes and ums.
2:48.82 – 2:53.26 (4.4s)
41
However, if you try to speak more slowly, it just sounds like this.
2:53.80 – 2:59.26 (5.5s)
42
Right?
2:59.52 – 2:59.94 (0.4s)
43
And that's not better.
2:59.94 – 3:00.84 (0.9s)
44
So, instead, make strategic pauses.
3:01.08 – 3:04.32 (3.2s)
45
Pause in transition.
3:04.54 – 3:06.02 (1.5s)
46
Pause for emphasis.
3:05.66 – 3:07.88 (2.2s)
47
Pause like a boss.
3:08.02 – 3:11.32 (3.3s)
48
Number three, superhero stance.
3:12.92 – 3:16.42 (3.5s)
49
Imagine you are a superhero.
3:17.30 – 3:19.58 (2.3s)
50
You can do it from your chair.
3:19.26 – 3:21.22 (2.0s)
51
How would a superhero sit?
3:20.86 – 3:22.86 (2.0s)
52
Yes, let that change your posture, I see you, yes!
3:23.46 – 3:27.64 (4.2s)
53
Let that bring a smile to your face, and have some better eye contact.
3:27.22 – 3:31.84 (4.6s)
54
All of that reads as confident.
3:31.44 – 3:35.02 (3.6s)
55
And pretending to be a superhero is just a super quick way to have confident-looking body language.
3:35.32 – 3:41.58 (6.3s)
56
Now, this one also goes to 11.
3:42.38 – 3:44.58 (2.2s)
57
But you can just aim for a five, and that will be great.
3:48.36 – 3:52.20 (3.8s)
58
tuck in that cape and go save the day.
3:52.08 – 3:54.86 (2.8s)
59
And you can stand in superhero backstage to boost your confidence, but I'm saying bring that superhero stance on stage so that your audience sees you as confident.
3:56.54 – 4:07.48 (10.9s)
60
And if you need an easy shortcut, just make the shape.
4:08.28 – 4:11.58 (3.3s)
61
Just make the shape of a confident person.
4:12.06 – 4:14.86 (2.8s)
62
The audience cannot read your mind.
4:14.60 – 4:17.66 (3.1s)
63
They don't know how you're feeling, so just make the shape and they will go with it.
4:17.64 – 4:22.78 (5.1s)
64
Like, if you came over to my house for dinner, And I open up the door and I was like, hi, come on in, we're having chicken.
4:22.72 – 4:30.58 (7.9s)
65
You'd be like, oh, is this a bad time?
4:32.18 – 4:34.34 (2.2s)
66
You know, you've got to make the shape of a good host.
4:36.14 – 4:38.68 (2.5s)
67
Make the smile shape, right?
4:38.92 – 4:41.62 (2.7s)
68
Instead of crossed arm shape, open up.
4:41.92 – 4:44.26 (2.3s)
69
Hi, welcome, come on in.
4:43.78 – 4:46.48 (2.7s)
70
If you're not sure if you're making confident looking choices, you can just video yourself and watch it back.
4:48.20 – 4:55.94 (7.7s)
71
I feel like I just saw you say, not doing that one.
4:57.12 – 5:00.02 (2.9s)
72
I know, most people don't like to watch themselves, I get it.
5:01.38 – 5:05.12 (3.7s)
73
But wouldn't you rather make that adjustment before you're in front of your audience?
5:05.34 – 5:11.00 (5.7s)
74
Yes.
5:12.38 – 5:12.74 (0.4s)
75
Videoing yourself is a great way to check in to see that you're doing the techniques, but also to see that it's still authentically you, your version of confident captain.
5:13.70 – 5:24.22 (10.5s)
76
Now, how can you do all of these things on performance day?
5:25.54 – 5:29.88 (4.3s)
77
Number four, practice with purpose.
5:30.78 – 5:34.20 (3.4s)
78
So make yourself a rehearsal schedule, put it in your calendar.
5:34.96 – 5:38.62 (3.7s)
79
You can give yourself a little treat when you do a run-through.
5:39.02 – 5:42.06 (3.0s)
80
And make it practice with purpose by giving yourself a specific goal or layering in one new confident captain technique each day.
5:42.84 – 5:51.66 (8.8s)
81
If it's a week before your event, aim to run it all the way through at least once a day.
5:52.08 – 5:58.80 (6.7s)
82
And if you don't have time for a full run-through, just take the opening, closing, run that three times in a row from anywhere.
5:59.42 – 6:05.08 (5.7s)
83
When you're in the shower, when you're walking your dog, when you're making a meal for your kids.
6:05.74 – 6:10.30 (4.6s)
84
I know my kids are very used to me walking around the house talking to myself.
6:10.06 – 6:14.90 (4.8s)
85
whatever you need to do to get in those repetitions.
6:15.94 – 6:19.68 (3.7s)
86
And don't be afraid of overpractice.
6:20.40 – 6:23.36 (3.0s)
87
Don't let that stop you.
6:24.18 – 6:25.70 (1.5s)
88
You can just let go of your verbatim script if it's starting to sound robotic.
6:26.40 – 6:31.02 (4.6s)
89
And you can still use bullet point speaker notes to remind yourself of what you would like to say and to invite you to say it a little bit differently each time to keep it fresh.
6:30.88 – 6:44.02 (13.1s)
90
And let me be clear, by practice, I mean standing up, saying it out loud, imagining your audience and inviting them in, clicking through your slides, doing it as much like it will be on the day, whether it's virtual or in person.
6:44.82 – 7:01.40 (16.6s)
91
And I know it might feel a little funny saying it out loud to yourself, but think about when you learn a new sport or when you practice a musical instrument.
7:02.10 – 7:14.46 (12.4s)
92
If you had a piano concert on Friday, and you got new music on Monday, would you only read your music every day and then play it for the very first time at the concert on Friday?
7:15.34 – 7:27.02 (11.7s)
93
No way!
7:27.04 – 7:28.58 (1.5s)
94
And yet, I see speakers do this all the time.
7:29.00 – 7:32.24 (3.2s)
95
Give yourself a chance.
7:32.84 – 7:34.38 (1.5s)
96
Practice helps everything, and it can really boost your confidence to practice with purpose by layering in one new technique each day.
7:34.80 – 7:46.98 (12.2s)
97
Okay, those first four techniques, they're all about how to appear confident, regardless of how you're feeling.
7:48.36 – 7:55.50 (7.1s)
98
I've got one more technique for you, and it's a big one.
7:56.28 – 8:00.26 (4.0s)
99
But this is the real gem.
8:01.04 – 8:02.60 (1.6s)
100
It's the one that makes all the others shine.
8:02.28 – 8:05.18 (2.9s)
101
This is number five, the silent sentence.
8:06.24 – 8:10.46 (4.2s)
102
This is about what you choose to tell yourself.
8:11.62 – 8:14.92 (3.3s)
103
I've been a professional actor since I was a kid, and I have always loved going on stage as an actor, as a speaker, as an emcee.
8:16.52 – 8:25.18 (8.7s)
104
And at the same time, I have often been not just nervous, sometimes downright terrified to step on a stage.
8:25.74 – 8:35.84 (10.1s)
105
I'm shaking, I'm sweating, and I'm like, what was I thinking?
8:36.84 – 8:40.48 (3.6s)
106
Why do I do this to myself?
8:40.48 – 8:42.18 (1.7s)
107
And all these unhelpful voices flood in, and I just tried to make it stop, push it away, and of course, that never worked.
8:41.98 – 8:49.58 (7.6s)
108
And I kept going on stage because I love it.
8:50.24 – 8:53.92 (3.7s)
109
And years later, when I became a speaker coach, I got asked to do all these professional presentations, and they went well.
8:55.26 – 9:02.38 (7.1s)
110
But I still had no way to deal with that massive anxiety.
9:03.68 – 9:08.18 (4.5s)
111
And I was like, what can I do?
9:08.76 – 9:11.16 (2.4s)
112
And I thought, well, what am I telling myself?
9:12.00 – 9:15.32 (3.3s)
113
What if you mess up?
9:16.40 – 9:17.58 (1.2s)
114
You better be perfect.
9:17.56 – 9:19.24 (1.7s)
115
I realized I was giving myself an impossible instruction to be perfect.
9:20.94 – 9:26.88 (5.9s)
116
And that really was not working.
9:27.82 – 9:29.54 (1.7s)
117
But what would work?
9:30.12 – 9:31.32 (1.2s)
118
What would be a better message?
9:31.32 – 9:33.52 (2.2s)
119
And to figure that out, I had to go back to square one, like, what do I want?
9:34.14 – 9:38.92 (4.8s)
120
Why did I say yes to this speaking gig?
9:37.98 – 9:41.86 (3.9s)
121
What is my deeper purpose here?
9:42.36 – 9:44.46 (2.1s)
122
And I realized at the heart of it, I just want to help my audience to the best of my ability.
9:45.76 – 9:53.76 (8.0s)
123
And when I said that, I noticed everything change.
9:55.52 – 9:58.66 (3.1s)
124
And that's where I found my first silent sentence.
9:59.96 – 10:02.76 (2.8s)
125
I want to help my audience to the best of my ability.
10:03.30 – 10:06.96 (3.7s)
126
When I said it even silently to myself, it acted like this override switch.
10:07.90 – 10:12.52 (4.6s)
127
Like I might still be shaking and sweating, but now I have this higher goal, this deeper purpose, and everything aligned to that, and that became my highest priority.
10:12.70 – 10:21.84 (9.1s)
128
I want to help you.
10:22.70 – 10:24.08 (1.4s)
129
And now that thought replaced those unhelpful thoughts, and everything went better in my performance.
10:24.78 – 10:30.32 (5.5s)
130
And I was like, yes, it worked.
10:31.48 – 10:34.60 (3.1s)
131
Yay.
10:35.98 – 10:36.22 (0.2s)
132
And then I was like, wait, how do I do this every time?
10:38.08 – 10:41.42 (3.3s)
133
Especially when the stakes are high.
10:42.36 – 10:44.42 (2.1s)
134
And it dawned on me, like, if I'm writing and crafting the words I say out loud, why not write and craft the words I say silently to myself?
10:45.40 – 10:55.90 (10.5s)
135
Put it in the script.
10:55.86 – 10:57.78 (1.9s)
136
It's the silent part of the script.
10:57.48 – 11:01.34 (3.9s)
137
So now, every time I rehearse, every time I walk onto a stage, every time I join a virtual meeting, I say the following new and evolved silent sentence.
11:03.12 – 11:15.86 (12.7s)
138
I invite you to be here with me while I am here with you, so that I can make this easier for you.
11:18.14 – 11:28.82 (10.7s)
139
Now, that invitation to myself to be present, that's my definition of stage presence, being present.
11:31.38 – 11:40.12 (8.7s)
140
And that invitation to the audience to be my partner, that reminds me these are friends, not foes, and I am choosing to be here.
11:41.40 – 11:50.32 (8.9s)
141
And now I'm not just making the shape of a good host, I really am a good host, because I am genuinely welcoming you to my world.
11:50.48 – 11:58.96 (8.5s)
142
Now, how do you go about finding your silent sentence?
12:01.32 – 12:04.66 (3.3s)
143
What do you want?
12:06.50 – 12:07.42 (0.9s)
144
What's your deeper purpose?
12:08.58 – 12:10.40 (1.8s)
145
You could be like me, and you might just want to help people.
12:11.50 – 12:15.12 (3.6s)
146
Or it could be something more specific.
12:15.50 – 12:17.60 (2.1s)
147
For example, you might want at least one person in your audience to walk out and take a CPR class.
12:17.08 – 12:24.26 (7.2s)
148
Or maybe you're just super excited to have this experience or share with them some cool solution you have for their problem.
12:25.16 – 12:33.22 (8.1s)
149
You get to fill in the blank and decide what you want to accomplish.
12:33.70 – 12:38.22 (4.5s)
150
And this is not about graduating to some higher level of being where you never again feel nervous.
12:39.68 – 12:46.14 (6.5s)
151
I know I haven't.
12:46.58 – 12:49.06 (2.5s)
152
I was feeling it pretty big about 15 minutes ago.
12:49.52 – 12:52.74 (3.2s)
153
We're getting ready to walk on this stage, and I am, and probably always will be, a recovering perfectionist.
12:54.02 – 13:03.36 (9.3s)
154
That is a well-worn pathway in my brain.
13:05.08 – 13:07.76 (2.7s)
155
It is there, it exists, it cannot be erased.
13:08.52 – 13:11.86 (3.3s)
156
But now I have this other pathway.
13:12.54 – 13:15.26 (2.7s)
157
And when big moments like this come up, I get to choose.
13:16.14 – 13:19.72 (3.6s)
158
And that's what I was doing back there in the wings.
13:20.94 – 13:23.32 (2.4s)
159
I was choosing to gently insist on repeating my silent sentence to set myself up for success.
13:23.84 – 13:32.00 (8.2s)
160
What we tell ourselves really matters.
13:34.22 – 13:36.76 (2.5s)
161
We follow our own instructions all day long.
13:38.00 – 13:40.16 (2.2s)
162
Our whole selves are always listening.
13:40.08 – 13:42.98 (2.9s)
163
So when you notice something isn't going well, or you're fearing something might not go well in the future, use this checklist.
13:44.72 – 13:51.68 (7.0s)
164
What am I telling myself?
13:53.86 – 13:55.38 (1.5s)
165
What's being broadcast?
13:56.74 – 13:58.04 (1.3s)
166
Then, replace that with a better sentence to help set you up for where you'd like to go.
14:00.16 – 14:07.10 (6.9s)
167
And most importantly, put it in the script and practice it.
14:08.22 – 14:12.06 (3.8s)
168
Practice it just as much as the words you say out loud.

So if you're running your intro in the shower three times in a row, it would go silent bit, out loud bit, silent, out loud, silent, out loud, until it is inextricably linked, and it is just a part of your process, and it is repeatable and reliable.
14:15.72 – 14:33.40 (17.7s)
170
And then it's just there for you when you need it.

When you're at home and you're practicing some of these techniques, like turn up the energy and speak up, pause like a boss, superhero stance, practice with purpose, and your silent sentence.
14:42.68 – 14:59.40 (16.7s)
173
Please know that it might feel uncomfortable at first because it's new and that is normal.
15:00.80 – 15:05.46 (4.7s)
174
But think back to when I was demonstrating the nervous captain at the top.
15:06.06 – 15:09.82 (3.8s)
175
How did that make you feel?
15:10.02 – 15:11.42 (1.4s)
176
And then when the confident captain came out, oh, what a relief!
15:12.72 – 15:15.90 (3.2s)
177
Now I can just sit back and enjoy the ride.
15:15.74 – 15:18.74 (3.0s)
178
Remember that feeling of safety you had as an audience member and bring that into your next rehearsal.

You can give that gift to your audience.
15:25.46 – 15:28.86 (3.4s)

Reach outside your comfort zone to make your audience feel safe by making the choices of a confident captain.
15:29.36 – 15:38.32 (9.0s)

And who knows?
15:39.22 – 15:40.22 (1.0s)
182
You might even have fun.
15:41.60 – 15:43.00 (1.4s)
183
Have a great trip.
15:45.00 – 15:45.98 (1.0s)

よくある発音の落とし穴
動画内で特に注意すべき発音やアクセントについて紹介します。
- “confidence” - この単語は特に母音の発音に注意が必要です。正しい発音を練習することで、話す自信が高まります。
- “pause” - 発音の際に母音を強調することが重要です。減速して丁寧に発音することを心掛けましょう。
- “captain” - バランスの取れた発音が難しい場合があります。リズム感を意識し、声に出して練習することがポイントです。
英語シャドーイングを実践することで、これらの発音の落とし穴を克服し、より自信を持ったスピーキングが可能になります。YouTubeで英語学習を通じて、これらのテクニックを日常的に取り入れていきましょう。
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。
ShadowingEnglishでの効果的な学習方法
- 動画を選ぶ: 自然で明瞭な英語が使われているYouTube動画を選びましょう。TED Talks、BBC News、映画のシーン、ポッドキャスト、IELTS模範解答などが最適です。URLをコピーして検索バーに貼り付けてください。短い動画(5分以内)や、自分が本当に興味を持てるテーマから始めるのがコツです。
- まず聞いて内容を理解する: 最初は1倍速でただ聞くだけにしましょう。まだ繰り返す必要はありません。文の意味を理解し、話者がどのように単語を強調し、音を繋げ、間を取っているかに注目してください。内容を把握してからシャドーイングに入ると、はるかに効果的です。
- シャドーイングモードを設定する:
- Wait Mode(待機モード):
+3sまたは+5sを選ぶと、動画が一文を読み終えた後に自動で一時停止し、繰り返す時間が生まれます。完全に手動でコントロールしたい場合はManualを選んでNextを自分で押しましょう。 - Sub Sync(字幕同期): YouTubeの字幕と音声がずれることがあります。
±100msで調整して、正確なタイミングで追えるようにしてください。
- Wait Mode(待機モード):
- 声に出してシャドーイングする(最重要): ここが練習の本質です。文が流れると同時に——または一時停止中に——はっきりと自信を持って声に出して繰り返しましょう。ただ単語を読むだけでなく、話者のリズム、強調、高低、連音をそっくりそのまま真似することが大切です。「影」のように話者に重なるのが理想。Repeat機能を使って同じ文を何度も繰り返し、自然に出てくるまで定着させましょう。
- 徐々に難易度を上げて続ける: 一つのパッセージに慣れたら、さらに挑戦してみましょう。速度を <code>1.25x</code> や <code>1.5x</code> に上げれば、高速の言語反射を鍛えられます。Wait Modeを <code>Off</code> にして連続シャドーイングするのが最も上級で効果的なモードです。毎日15〜30分継続すれば、数週間で目に見える変化を実感できます。
