Hello, welcome to 6 Minute English.
4
I'm Neil.
5
And hello, I'm Rob.
6
Today we're discussing music and the idea that songs are becoming faster.
7
What music do you like, Rob?
8
Oh, me.
9
I like rock music.
10
It has good vocals and it's loud.
11
How about you, Neil?
12
Well, I like anything and I prefer streaming my music actually.
13
No old fashioned CDs to buy and load up.
14
It's easier to play and you can play it anywhere.
15
And streaming is where you listen or watch music or videos directly from the internet as a continuous stream.
16
Did you know that some people believe
17
that streaming music online is actually changing the songs people write and it might be leading to songs getting faster?
18
Well, that's what we're discussing today.
19
Let's hope it doesn't happen to this programme, otherwise we might become three-minute English.
20
But before it does, let's get on with our question for everyone to answer.
21
In 2017, Luis Fonzi's summer hit Despacito officially became the most streamed song of all time.
22
Do you know approximately how many times it was streamed?
23
Was it a 1.6 billion times, b 3.6 billion times, or c 4.6 billion times?
24
I know the song was popular but 4.6 billion sounds too big so I'll go for A, 1.6 billion.
25
OK, well we'll find out later in the programme.
26
But now back to our discussion about how music producers are adapting their songs for modern technology.
27
Researchers have found long instrumental introductions to pop songs have become almost extinct.
28
Of course the aim of many pop songs is to be enjoyed by many, to be popular.
29
But they also need to be a commercial success.
30
They need to make money.
31
Brendan Williams, a music producer and Professor of Music Technology, can explain what he thinks influences the songs.
32
Here he is speaking on BBC Radio 4's You and Yours programme.
33
I think that, you know, one of the things that's driving this, er, there are a number of things.
34
They're all radio, er, they're all singles designed for radio playlists.
35
Radio playlists are extremely important factors in judging the success of a track
36
and obviously do feed into the kind of commercial success of a track.
37
So, he mentions that radio playlists are important factors.
38
A playlist is a list of songs that a radio station plans to play.
39
And he says that radio playlists affect the commercial success of a song.
40
By the way, he called a song a track – that's a recorded piece of music.
41
And notice how he used the word driving, which means having a strong influence.
42
So getting a song played on the radio is important
43
and it has to be made in a way that will suit the radio station's playlist.
44
Now, we know there are thousands of songs out there to listen to and plenty of ways to listen to them, so how can record companies get someone to listen to their particular song?
45
Well, have a listen to Brendan Williams again to see what he thinks.
46
But then there's the influence of streaming services like Spotify, where if a track isn't played for at least 30 seconds then it doesn't register a play. And Spotify...
47
And if we don't hear the vocals then we might not carry on listening, is that the theory?
48
Brendan Williams Absolutely yeah, that's the theory, is to get through, I guess to get into the meat of the song, to hear the lyrical content and get through to that first chorus.
49
Well, it seems songs no longer have an intro, the instrumental piece of music that's played before the singing begins.
50
In the old days, radio DJs, disc jockeys who played the records, loved to talk over that bit.
51
Now we need to get to the lyrical content – that's the lyrics, or the words of the song, as soon as possible.
52
So the theory, or idea, is to present listeners with vocals and a chorus more quickly as it will make them want to continue listening.
53
That's because if a song isn't streamed for more than 30 seconds, it doesn't register a play.
54
It doesn't get measured or recorded as a play.
55
So it doesn't make money.
56
So a song needs to hook the listener in quickly.
57
In other words, it needs to attract their attention and be easy to remember.
58
Another word for this is catchy.
59
Do you have any favourite catchy songs, Rob?
60
Oh, I do, I do.
61
It's got to be Happy by Pharrell Williams.
62
Very catchy song.
63
Well, something that is always catchy in this programme is our quiz question.
64
Earlier I mentioned that in 2017 Luis Fonzi's summer hit, Despacito, officially became the most streamed song of all time.
65
Did you know approximately how many times it was streamed?
66
Was it a 1.6 billion times, b 3.6 billion times, or c 4.6 billion times?
67
And I went for a staggering 1.6 billion times.
68
Well, it's not staggering enough, Rob.
69
It was actually streamed 4.6 billion times.
70
Amazing.
71
That's a number that we can only dream of for this programme.
72
Or is it?
73
Well, Neil, shall we download to our memory some of the vocabulary we've learnt today?
74
Streaming describes the activity of listening to or watching music, radio or videos directly from the internet as a continuous stream.
75
Something that is a commercial success is popular and makes lots of money, like a new computer game or pop song.
76
A good pop song, Rob.
77
Not something annoying like Gangnam Style.
78
Ah, well that was a huge commercial success because it was catchy, a word that describes something that attracts attention and is easy to remember.
79
We also mentioned a playlist – that's a list of songs
80
that a radio station plans to play –
81
and we also used the same word – playlist – to
82
describe a list of songs you compile yourself on a streaming service.
83
We also heard the adjective driving, which in the context of our discussion means having a strong influence.
84
And we mentioned the verb to register – if you register something, you record, count or measure it.
85
Like every download of this programme is registered.
86
But how do we download this programme, Rob?
87
By going to our website at bbclearningenglish.com And we have an app too.
88
Download it for free and stream all of our content.
89
Bye for now.

추천 영상

이 영상은 누구를 위한 것인가?

영상 영어 공부를 시작하는 중급 학습자나 IELTS 스피킹 실력을 키우고 싶은 사람에게 적합하다. 음악이라는 일상적인 주제를 통해 자연스러운 대화 패턴과 논술 구조를 배울 수 있으며, shadow speak 연습에 좋은 내용이 담겨 있다. 6분이라는 짧은 시간에 핵심 단어와 표현을 집중적으로 학습할 수 있어 효율적이다.

빼놓을 수 없는 단어와 관용구

  • streaming: 인터넷을 통해 직접 음악이나 영상을 재생하는 것. "I prefer streaming my music"처럼 사용한다.
  • playlist: 라디오나 스트리밍 서비스에서 계획된 노래 목록. "Radio playlists are important"와 같이 쓰인다.
  • driving: 강한 영향을 미치는. "One of the things that's driving this"에서 '주요 원인'이라는 뜻이다.
  • intro: 노래의 시작 부분에 있는 instrumental 구간. "Songs no longer have an intro"처럼 사용한다.

발음을 올바르게 하는 방법

영상 속 발화자의 발음은 명확하고 속도가 적당해 shadow speech 연습에 적합하다. 특히 streaming의 'str' 발음과 playlist의 'ay' 모음을 주의깊게 듣자. 또한, "Did you know that..."와 같은 의문문의 억양을 따라하면 자연스러운 스피킹이 가능하다. 매일 5분씩 영상을 따라 말하면서 발음과 리듬을 익히면 IELTS 스피킹 점수 향상에 도움이 될 것이다.

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.
