Shadowing Practice: Emma Watson Reveals What Hollywood Never Shows You... | Jay Shetty - Learn English Speaking with Video
Les maken...
1
I've worked with so many young people, musicians, who've all been told, like, all right, if you don't do this over the next 12 months, you're not going to make it.
2
Yeah.
3
Or like, if you don't do this right now, if you don't say yes to this song or this movie, it's like, you might as well wave it goodbye.
4
You're never going to get the Oscar or the whatever it may be or the Grammy or whatever it is.
5
And I can't imagine being a young person,
6
like I'm 37 now, and you process ideas like that differently if you're in your teens or even 20s,
7
and maybe even 30s, but you process those statements with so much gravitas, especially when it's someone of influence and power saying it to you.
8
It feels like being surrounded by people who really believe in you and your longevity and your art versus, but that's hard to find.
9
It is.
10
It's hard to find.
11
And, you know, I had a wonderful team.
12
Like, I really did.
13
I think it's just like understanding that no one at the end of the day is going to be in the room.
14
Like, when you're actually doing the thing, you have to carry that moment.
15
And you have to carry that pressure.
16
Also, making films, the hours on them are so demanding.
17
that to have your own life alongside that, to have that balance, is almost impossible.
18
It's so all or nothing.
19
It's so all-encompassing, especially if you're in a lead role.
20
You kind of go through these, you know, working six days a week, 14 to 16-hour days, and then you're just kind of dropped off at the end of it,
21
and maybe you'll have a two or three-month gap, and then there's just kind of, like, nothing.
22
And so you're like riding this like incredible peak of like adrenaline and cortisol, and then you just get like dropped off the edge.
23
And then you're like, okay, wait, now I have to be a functioning human again and I have to like,
24
figure out how to be a person in the real world and I think some of those extremes
25
then force an actor to either decide, well I'm gonna back to back it, so I'm gonna basically go from one movie to the next and that's gonna be my full life,
26
or you have to navigate these huge impacts on your nervous system
27
that you need a system and a support system to help you navigate.
28
And I think it's why addiction and mental illness in my profession and in a lot of high-stress,
29
high-profile professions is so commonplace.
30
Because you're trying to balance out these enormous chemical ups and downs.
31
Yeah, talk to people about why.
32
Because I think from the outside, when someone sees a red carpet or when someone sees an event, It looks really glamorous like until I ever attended anything
33
and yeah I I always looked at it's like oh my gosh It's
34
so glamorous and everyone's there and everyone must be friends
35
and everyone must know each other because they all you know
36
But but then you're not saying that and neither is and and anytime I've ever been on a red carpet
37
everyone's anxious and everyone's nervous and that's the real experience people almost waiting to leave yes
38
And some people do the red carpet and leave immediately But what's going on there?
39
Walk us through, for people who may not...
40
I think the first step is to just understand, even though you're wearing an incredibly glamorous dress and you're there to do something exciting,
41
I don't think there's anything that can make it not weird that people are screaming at the top of their lungs.
42
Like, it just.. everything in your body says something's wrong.
43
Like, people are screaming, something's wrong.
44
But then you have to try to pretend as though this is all normal and you're unfazed.
45
So you have like two things going on.
46
One, you're like navigating this like sensory overload that's like telling you, oh my god, something is really wrong.
47
You had a pose telling you what to look, telling you.
48
Yeah, so you're trying to navigate, okay, something feels wrong, but I need to also simultaneously make it seem as though I am the most graceful
49
and the most calm I've ever been in my whole life.
50
And I need to, like, pose for this person, and there's 50 different cameras, and I need to make sure that I look perfectly into each and every one.
51
and I probably would have had four different notes from the stylist about how I'm supposed to stand
52
and what I need to do for the dress and then I've got like 25 different talking points from the movie
53
of like what I need to get across and also avoid saying
54
or talking about and so you're like you need to be thinking about
55
that and the juggle's crazy and then I think everyone is in this like
56
kind of jumped up state and
57
so like trying to have a normal conversation with anyone is basically impossible
58
because you feel like an insane person and
59
so these are not environments in
60
which you like have a nice chat with someone really I mean maybe
61
if you're really lucky and you've worked with someone for a long time
62
and you've established some trust but I think that was the other thing
63
that was like really difficult about movies
64
and what like I kind of laugh at well not like not in I don't mean where I don't, but like, you know, you always get asked when you're like promoting these big films, like, so do you guys hang out on set?
65
And like, do you guys hang out?
66
And like, are you all friends?
67
And everyone sort of like nods enthusiastically, but the truth is no one has seen each other outside of work.
68
Like very, very, very rarely.
69
Mostly because the schedule is insane.
70
Everyone's so tired that when they get any time off, you're going straight back to your hotel room to try to like claw in any piece of rest
71
that you possibly can and like i don't know like it friendships require time and trust and presence and
72
those things like very rarely come about they can and they like do occasionally but it's more of a
73
more of a you know solar eclipse than an everyday situation
74
so yeah but you have to pretend I think that's the part
75
that starts to feel icky after a
76
while is like you you have to pretend that you're all best friends
77
and what's so sad and I I know this isn't just the case for me
78
but like I think people wish they were I think we wish we did have those real connections
79
and we did have that real support and so having to pretend
80
that something exists that you actually really want
81
but don't have is like it's like that's pretty grainy in
82
the wound you know it's like it's pretty like tough pill to swallow to have to act out something
83
that you wish were real but isn't real yeah um
84
and i think that's the part
85
that starts to kind of yeah i can only speak for myself
86
but those are definitely the moments where i've been like this feels dark like anyone else like This feels dark.
87
Yeah.
88
And there's such a real reminder that it's still work.
89
And it's almost like asking anyone who works at any company and saying, Hey, do you hang out with your team after work every night?
90
And the answer is probably no. Everyone's going home to their family.
91
And maybe you've got a couple of friends at work.
92
And it's wonderful if you have a friend at work that you work out with or see after hours.
93
But you're not hanging out as the whole crew.
94
It's very unlikely.
95
100%.
96
And it is that reality check of, no, but this is also just work.
97
Yeah.
98
And their character stories are not their personal stories.

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.
