쉐도잉 연습: how to command attention when speaking - 영상으로 영어 말하기 배우기

레슨 만드는 중...
1
It's no fun when people don't listen to you, is it?
2
It's not nice to feel like you're on the sidelines
3
and everything you say is just spoken over or forgotten or not heard in the first place.
4
I used to have that very same issue.
5
I don't anymore.
6
In fact, that's a lie.
7
I can do.
8
I do tend to default into speaking too quickly and under-energized.
9
And usually that happens when I'm tired or
10
if I'm speaking to someone I've known for a long time or
11
if I am speaking to someone who I look up to
12
a lot I can tend to make myself smaller quieter
13
and speak too fast usually because of anxiety around speaking to them
14
or just kind of lacking confidence in the situation now this happens to most likely everyone not everyone
15
but most people have a certain degree of this and
16
if you're watching this video firstly I'd like to say stop worrying
17
so much it's not as big a deal as you as you think
18
and it's not because you don't have a deeper voice
19
and it's not
20
because you don't have a louder voice although those things tend to sometimes come with confidence it doesn't mean
21
that doing that will show or provide confidence it just means
22
that those people have are more relaxed usually and
23
when you're more relaxed you're more resonant in the first place
24
so whatever your voice type is
25
or whatever range you speak in being more relaxed will always make it more fuller
26
and more richer sounding
27
and give you the edge on your own voice it doesn't matter what other people sound like
28
or have done in the past that's not important I tell
29
you what back in 1994 I saw the artist Björk Bjork
30
for those in the UK I saw her play at Phoenix festival in Stratford-upon-Avon in the UK
31
and now you wouldn't think of Björk as having a
32
like a powerful voice would you or an authoritative voice
33
but she you might even think she's kind of quirky or cute
34
or I don't know what your your thoughts are I know
35
that's how people have described it to me in the past
36
but really she's a fierce warrior
37
and talking about commanding attention she sings with power don't get me wrong
38
but she's not necessarily got a deep voice she certainly knows her stuff that's very true
39
but when I saw her play at the time I believe she was dating a drum
40
and bass DJ called Goldie and I'm not sure
41
if there's any influence on the music there
42
because she was a talented musician herself
43
but she walked onto this huge stage without any band there in a little white dress.
44
She stood there at the microphone at the front of the stage, nothing else.
45
She did no dancing around.
46
She stood there very calmly, very grounded, very present, and drew these thousands of people into her.
47
She literally just performed her songs, and towards the end of her set, a lot of them were remixed with drummer bass, which is why I thought that was at the period she was dating Goldie.
48
Now, she's a kind of, you know, small framed woman she's got a not high-pitched voice
49
but it's a you know you wouldn't say it's a powerful voice necessarily she doesn't sound operatic for example
50
but she commanded
51
that audience more than I've ever seen in fact it was
52
one of my favorite like shows I've ever seen in my life
53
and it was a real testament to holding court and actually holding presence because presence will command attention.
54
If you are connected, if you are grounded, if your feet are flat on the floor, your belly loose and your muscles limber and relaxed,
55
you will draw in more attention.
56
You can't help but do that.
57
If you are listening, if you are engaged, you will become engaging.
58
This is a really, really, really key thing to remember if you feel you don't fit in, If you feel that you're not being listened to or heard,
59
you need to plant your feet in the ground and let people know you're there, not through volume, not through deepening of the voice, but through your presence.
60
By being present, you become more present and that is commanding and that is how, the best way I know that you can command an audience.
61
In the future, watch your favorite speakers or people you look up to or peers or friends or relatives around you
62
and try to notice the ones that really stand out and
63
if those people
64
that really stand out also tend to have deeper louder voices see what else they might be doing see
65
if there's anything else in their message are they connected
66
or are they just like throwing words away are they with you do they draw you in
67
or are they just putting the message on you what is it that works look at them Watch people.
68
You can improve yourself by looking at others.
69
And if you can find a video of Bjork from the mid-90s, check her out.
70
She was absolutely awesome.
71
Hopefully that's helpful.
72
Very short one today.
73
But think about it.
74
It's really important to command attention.
75
You don't have to be louder.
76
You don't have to be deeper.
77
Just more grounded and present.
78
See you next time.

이 클립의 말하기 목표

이 비디오는 영어 회화에서 주의력을 끌기 위한 기술을 다루며, 특히 자신감 있는 발화와 존재감 있는 말하기라는 유창성 마일스톤을 목표로 합니다. 말할 때 사람들의 주의를 사로잡는 방법은 단순히 크게 말하는 것이 아니라 안정감과 존재감을 갖는 것임을 강조하며, 이를 통해 영어 회화 연습에서 실제로 적용할 수 있는 전략을 제시합니다.

유용한 표현 모음

  • default into speaking too quickly: 너무 빨리 말하는 습관이 생기다
  • under-energized: 에너지가 부족한
  • look up to: 존경하다
  • make myself smaller: 자기 자신을 작게 만드다
  • grounded and present: 땅에 붙어 있고 현재에 집중된
  • draw people into her: 사람들을 자신에게 끌어당기다

약점을 보완하는 방법

이 비디오는 말하기의 리듬과 강세 문제를 해결하는 데 도움이 됩니다. 특히 "너무 빨리 말하거나 에너지가 부족한" 발화 습관을 고치고, 안정된 자세와 완만한 리듬을 통해 주의력을 끌 수 있습니다. Björk의 예시처럼 작은 몸집과 높지 않은 목소리로도 수천 명의 관중을 사로잡는 비결은 존재감 있는 발화입니다. 이를 연습하기 위해선 shadow speech(영어 쉐도잉)가 효과적입니다. 쉐도잉을 할 때는 발화자의 리듬과 강세를 정확히 모방하며, 자신의 목소리에 에너지를 주되 급하지 않게 말하는 연습을 합니다. 또한 영어 발음 교정을 통해 명확한 발음을 기본으로 하면, 더욱 주의를 끌 수 있습니다. shadow speak 연습을 통해 이러한 습관을 익히면, 영어 회화에서 자신감을 갖고 말할 수 있게 됩니다.

쉐도잉이란? 영어 실력을 빠르게 키우는 과학적 방법

쉐도잉(Shadowing)은 원래 전문 통역사 훈련을 위해 개발된 언어 학습 기법으로, 다언어 학자인 Dr. Alexander Arguelles에 의해 대중화된 방법입니다. 핵심 원리는 간단하지만 매우 강력합니다: 원어민의 영어를 들으면서 1~2초의 짧은 지연으로 즉시 소리 내어 따라 말하는 것——마치 '그림자(shadow)'처럼 화자를 따라가는 것입니다. 문법 공부나 수동적인 청취와 달리, 쉐도잉은 뇌와 입 근육이 동시에 실시간으로 영어를 처리하고 재현하도록 훈련합니다. 연구에 따르면 이 방법은 발음 정확도, 억양, 리듬, 연음, 청취력, 말하기 유창성을 크게 향상시킵니다. IELTS 스피킹 준비와 자연스러운 영어 소통을 원하는 분들에게 특히 효과적입니다.
