To the haters, the doubters, my seventh grade vice principal, to everyone who's ever told anyone with a dream they can't,
2
this video's for you.
3
Keep your head down, follow the rules, do as you're told, play it safe, wait your turn, Ask permission.
4
Learn to compromise.
5
This is terrible advice.
6
If I were to write an autobiography, a book about my life, one title that would work would be Do What You Can't,
7
because that idea encapsulates everything I've ever done.
8
Like when I wanted to move to New York City and my dad was like, you can't, you don't have any money.
9
Or when I first said I wanted to make movies and it was, you can't, you didn't go to film school.
10
I want to have a TV show?
11
No, you can't Casey, you're not pretty enough.
12
And to go even further, if I were to characterize what this new generation of content creators and filmmakers,
13
what we all do on YouTube and everywhere else is we do what we can't.
14
You can't be an action movie filmmaker.
15
But you get your parkour friends to dress up like video game characters, jump off some buildings, and you can.
16
Right, Devon?
17
Yes.

What?

This is my first YouTube video ever.

Next thing you know, you're interviewing the president.

24
Maybe I'll start a YouTube show or something like that.
25
That's what I'm thinking.
26
You can't fly around
27
New York City on a magic carpet, but get your electric skateboard, some PVC pipe, a great outfit, give Jessie a call, and you can.
28
What do you think?
29
This is so dope.
30
You don't need gear, you don't need trucks or a crane, you don't need some big expensive camera rig that never works.
31
When you're a creator, you don't need someone in your ear telling you what you can and can't do.
32
I'm racing the subway!
33
What you can and can't say.
34
I accidentally did the shocker, oh my god.
35
They call us gamers, influencers, internet famous.
36
What the fuck does that mean?
37
But we know something they don't.
38
You can start a vlog or a makeup channel.
39
We'll travel around the world with a gigantic piano playing in beautiful places for interested people.
40
When you're a creator, all you need is your phone, an internet connection, and a good idea.
41
A story you want to share, something you need to say.
42
Confidence is within yourself.
43
And then the rest is history.
44
If you do it right, you get to quit the day job.
45
Make friends from places you've never been.

Meetups, collaborations, a life moving so fast and so full you won't even have time to process it.
47
So to my fellow creators, I say keep creating, keep doing the work.
48
And never forget, you don't have to listen to anyone because in this new world no one knows anything.
49
Hi haters!
50
The haters, the doubters are all drinking champagne in the top deck of the Titanic and we are the fucking icebergs!
51
Goin' ahead! Do what you can't.
52
Thank you.

Uitspraak om op te letten

De spreker gebruikt 33 samentrekkingen en verkorte vormen, zoals can't, don't, you're. Spreek ze kort uit, zoals je ze hoort.

  • De klanken “sh” en “zh”: collaboration /kəˌlæbəˈɹeɪʃən/, champagne /ʃæmˈpeɪn/, shocker /ˈʃɑkɚ/
  • Lange woorden — let op de klemtoon: collaboration /kəˌlæbəˈɹeɪʃən/, accidentally /ˌæk.sɪˈdɛnt(ə)li/, autobiography /ˌɔː.tə.baɪˈɒɡ.ɹə.fi/, characterize /ˈkɛɹəktəɹaɪz/, encapsulate /ɪnˈkæps(j)ʊˌleɪt/

Klanken die Nederlandstaligen lastig vinden:

  • Stemhebbende eindmedeklinker — /b/, /d/, /g/, /z/, /v/ niet verscherpen: compromise /ˈkɑmpɹəˌmaɪz/, characterize /ˈkɛɹəktəɹaɪz/, iceberg /ˈaɪsbɝɡ/, skateboard /ˈskeɪt.bɔɹd/, vlog /ˈvlɑɡ/
  • /æ/ — opener dan de Nederlandse “e”: piano /piˈænɪː/, collaboration /kəˌlæbəˈɹeɪʃən/, accidentally /ˌæk.sɪˈdɛnt(ə)li/, champagne /ʃæmˈpeɪn/, gigantic /d͡ʒaɪˈɡæntɪk/
  • /g/ — een harde plofklank, geen Nederlandse “g”: gear /ɡɪɚ/, autobiography /ˌɔː.tə.baɪˈɒɡ.ɹə.fi/, gigantic /d͡ʒaɪˈɡæntɪk/, gamer /ˈɡeɪ̯mə/, iceberg /ˈaɪsbɝɡ/

Zo oefen je met deze video

  1. Luister de hele video één keer zonder te spreken en noteer de woorden die je niet kent.
  2. Spreek zin voor zin na op normale snelheid en herhaal elke zin tot je ritme gelijk is aan dat van de spreker.
  3. Neem jezelf op en vergelijk met het origineel; let daarbij op woorden als creator, filmmaker, deck.

Wat is de Shadowing-techniek?

Shadowing is een wetenschappelijk onderbouwde taalleermethode die oorspronkelijk is ontwikkeld voor professionele tolkentraining en gepopulariseerd door polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. De methode is eenvoudig maar krachtig: je luistert naar native Engelse audio en herhaalt het onmiddellijk hardop — als een schaduw die de spreker volgt met slechts 1–2 seconden vertraging. In tegenstelling tot passief luisteren of grammaticadrills, dwingt shadowing je hersenen en mondspieren om echte spraakpatronen tegelijkertijd te verwerken en te reproduceren. Onderzoek toont aan dat het de uitspraaknauwkeurigheid, intonatie, ritme, verbonden spraak, luisterbegrip en spreekvaardigheid aanzienlijk verbetert — waardoor het een van de meest effectieve methoden is voor IELTS Speaking-voorbereiding en echte Engelse communicatie.
