쉐도잉 연습: HOW TO DO A BRITISH ACCENT CONVINCINGLY (2) FOR AMERICAN ACTORS (Acting Coach NYC) - 영상으로 영어 말하기 배우기

This is film two and there are three particular sounds

which I'm going to ask you to repeat after me

and I want you to be able to do these as exactly right as possible.

If you don't know these sounds, it's rather like me doing an American accent and in the middle of it all dropping in the word tomato.

So the first is a sound as in ask, which of course Brits pronounce as R as in ask.

So please after me say ask.

And now to ask something.

Even if you know about words like ask,

I'd like you to repeat these after me as the aim is to become conscious of these particular sounds.

There is a.. it's not ask.

There is a very silly upper-class British accent which talks away like this and ask, to ask something.

I'll go into that when I'm doing a film on comedy.

But in any case you have to learn this sound first.

So for cast, please say cast.

And for fast, please say fast.

We ask to be cast fast.

You don't need to remember any of these words, just to really get used to the sound of the change, from after to after.

And just say them when I wave at the camera or if the words appear on the screen.

Half is half.

Task is task.

After half the task on the raft.

Laugh is laugh.

Cant is can't.

Bath is bath.

He can't laugh in the bath.

Example is example.

Command is command.

Grass is grass.

For example, I command you to stay on the grass.

Now, there are exceptions.

A hand doesn't become a hand.

And doesn't become and.

But command does become command.

And there's a rule which explains

which letters have to follow the sound to make this change but there are exceptions to that, and if you try and learn it all, I think it'll just make things very, very difficult.

Anyway, when you're listening to British Accent now, to anything on YouTube, start looking out for this particular sound now.

One last time, this example takes us halfway, or part of the way,

on the fast path to a perfect accent.

I'd like you now to say the four words

that are going to appear on the screen out loud with your British accent,

please, and keep repeating the word until the next word appears on the screen.

So here's the first.

So, that was bath, if you'd say it again.

And not photographs, but again say photographs.

And not a glass, but a glass.

And not laughter, but laughter.

OK.

Now, by the end of this film, you should be able to consciously notice whenever this kind of change comes up,

then everything else about the British accent will start soaking into you around

that sound around that sound and these other two ones we're going to work on, but that's the first one.

Not ask, but ask.

And the next is the letter R.

Brits don't sound it when it's followed by a consonant.

So when you say arm, we say arm.

And even if you don't feel you say a little r in arm or hurt, normally, please say after me, not hurt, but hurt.

My arm hurt.

And not court, but caught.

So Brits say court and court in exactly the same way.

There's no difference at all.

So please say after me, I was in court as I was caught.

So we cut the R out before a consonant.

So the name Mark is Mark. And at the end...

Oop!

Right, so where were we?

Something to do with caught and caught.

Yes, I was in court as I was caught.

So cutting out this R before a consonant.

And Brits don't say the R at the end of words like car.

It's a car.

Now this may sound like a very slight difference, car and car, but it's the ability to get that difference,

that slight difference, right all the time that really makes you sound like a Brit.

So, sir is sir.

Far is far.

Mark's car is far away, sir.

And at the end of bigger words we cut it out, like in mother, it's mother.

Father, other, tour is tour.

Other mothers and fathers were on tour.

So Brits don't say hard or harder as the R is followed by a D.

And not third, but third.

Third.

And door, the word door, almost becomes door, D-A-W.

So the third door is harder.

My heart was mortally hurt when you hurled that marker at me.

Now, don't think, please, or worry about the rest of the sounds in that sentence, or how silly the sentence is.

It's just that there are no R sounds.

It's not, my heart was mortally hurt when you hurled that marker at me,

but my heart was mortally hurt when you hurled that marker at me.

So hopefully you'll now be looking out for this R in scripts, and when you hear Brits talking, and when you hear Americans talking,

that Americans sound it and Brits don't.

So please repeat these three words

that are gonna come up on the screen in your British accent and keep saying them until the next word appears.

So here's the first one.

Right, so that's not chair, but chair.

And not curtains, but curtains.

And this is quite an interesting one, not Shakespeare, but Shakespeare.

Now, when I say it like that, Shakespeare, It might sound to Americans as sort of, particularly because of my accent, as Shakespeare.

Oh, Shakespeare's so lovely, I love Shakespeare.

It does sound a bit like that in a way, but however we're saying the word, if we're saying, you know, bloody Shakespeare, we just say, oh, bloody Shakespeare.

That's the way the word's pronounced, we just don't say the R sound.

100

So it's Shakespeare.

101

Getting these three sounds perfect, the ah and the ah and the third one that's coming up now,

102

will change the way you listen to a British accent for a while.

103

And you'll pick up on other sounds amazingly quickly.

104

Even listening to other films that I've got on this system, don't bother to listen to what I'm talking about.

105

Just listen to what I'm saying and how some words like mask, I pronounce them as mask.

106

So we only pronounce the R when it's followed by a vowel, like in Colorado, or as Y counts as a vowel in the word carry.

107

So then we pronounce it like Americans do, but not in the word art.

108

It's art.

109

And it's just a coincidence that R and the letter R and T spell the word art.

110

It might help you to remember them, but that's just an accident.

111

An accident.

112

So the last of these three sounds that I want you to nail,

113

after ask becoming ask, and large becoming large, because R is followed by the G.

114

Not large, but large.

115

This third sound, much easier, because it doesn't come up that often, but it really stands out, is the letter T.

116

And it stands out because Americans pronounce it as a D, in some words.

117

You say a bottle and better and attitude.

118

So in a British accent bottle is bottle and butter is butter and fatter is fatter.

119

Butter makes us fatter.

120

My daughter ought to have So again,

121

it's not with a D in the middle of daughter and in the middle of order have caught her.

122

It's my daughter ought to have caught her.

123

And I said the word tomato earlier on.

124

It's not only tomorrow that British say, but the second T is not a D, so it's not tomorrow, but tomato.

125

Sounds a small thing, but you get that right, and people just think, oh, well, he's obviously British.

126

So it's A in the word after, and no R when it's followed by a consonant like in farm.

127

So say, my ma is calm on the farm.

128

So calm and farm rhyme exactly.

129

There's no R in calm.

130

We don't pronounce the L.

131

And there's no R effectively in farm.

132

So calm and farm are exactly the same.

133

My ma is calm on the farm.

134

We like large art in Colorado.

135

So it's not large, large, but large.

136

Now, please repeat these three words that'll come up on the screen out loud.

137

Keep saying them in a British accent till the next word comes up.

138

So that was Empire State Building, so there's no R at the end of Empire State Building, and there's a slight tendency to say State with a D,

139

State Building, State Building, and if there's anything in British there's a slight tendency to say a T, State Building.

140

And Water, and the first part of the name of Shakespeare's play, Titus.

141

So it's not Titus Andronicus, but Titus.

142

And then when you know these sounds, when you recognise them all the time, you'll naturally absorb all the other little things about the British accent,

143

like the OR in all, all you have to do is call in the fall.

144

And the OO having a Y behind it in New York.

145

and also in words that you'll notice and start collecting, like assume and Tuesday.

146

I assume it's Tuesday.

147

And that we don't say accent, we say accent.

148

Not accent, but accent.

149

Right, now, just say after me these lines, please.

150

So you'd better go now.

151

When you listen to British accents, try hard not to copy one voice.

152

It's important to hang on to your own.

153

Make sure you find the right accent to listen to.

154

Nearly all British accents now include a mixture of other accents.

155

But virtually all British plays, the ones produced in the USA anyway,

156

require the accent I'm using.

157

So, search for people and films on YouTube that are about people who are clearly middle class like me.

158

Now, you'll find more details on my website about exactly what it means to be British class

159

and you'll probably look for interviews successfully on YouTube by people like Emma Thompson,

160

Judy Dench and Helen Mirren, who are very middle class.

161

And one last quick thought, which is to remind you that what you have to do, as I answer my strange doorbell, to remind you that your job as actors is to act,

162

to give a performance.

163

So don't worry yourself to death about the accent all the time.

164

In the end, you've got to deal with that, what the play is, what the character is.

165

So thanks very much for watching.

166

I'm going to answer the doorbell.

167

Bye-bye.

168

Hello, my doorbell.

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.
