Shadowing Practice: Video 5: Advice for storytellers - Learn English Speaking with Video
Les maken...
1
Remember, the goal of this lesson is to get you thinking of yourself as a storyteller.
2
As you'll discover, telling stories can be challenging.
3
So, let's get a bit of advice and encouragement from our artists.
4
My high school art teacher pointed out the drawings of Michelangelo to me.
5
And she pointed out specifically that you see all these marks that he's left here?
6
these were the errors.
7
These are the things where he was searching for the right mark and then he
8
found the right line to draw the hand.
9
But he didn't have to erase him.
10
That was part of the search and it's okay.
11
It's actually part of the process.
12
And so that's when in fact she was like get rid of your erasers.
13
In fact, use your eraser to draw not to get rid of something.
14
Because if you're messing up then at least you're like assured
15
that you're actually making progress to something that can be better than where you started.
16
it's okay that your idea isn't perfect right out of the gate
17
and it's just about like identifying like is there something there emotionally
18
that is drawing you to it and if there is then there's something there
19
and you can just keep working on it and changing it
20
but always remembering like what was that initial like feeling
21
that drew you to that idea ideas really usually when you first come up with them, they're kind of more like notions.
22
That's kind of like in the what if, right?
23
What if?
24
And then the way you get to sort of a solid, actionable idea is that you just keep working on it.
25
And every time you do a version of it, every time you do a pass on it, you get closer to the idea.
26
It's a lot of hard work, and it takes trial and error to get that story right.
27
Because one thing that may affect you and you may have an idea is not necessarily going to speak to somebody else.
28
And that's where figuring out the best way to get them out of their head and intellectualizing what's being told them,
29
to feeling it and getting in touch with their emotions so that they're invested in what's happening to the character.
30
You know, the good news is that if you love it, if you like telling stories, if you like communicating, if you like drawing pictures,
31
you know, you won't want to stop.
32
That's the great part.
33
And even if it feels like you're not making progress, you'll see a stack of drawings, or you'll see a bunch of pieces of paper that have your words on them.
34
And I mean, that's really impressive because you're making progress.
35
So you gotta keep practicing.
36
It's as simple as that.
37
I, there's no easy way.
38
And in fact, it's really fun if you really enjoy it.
39
Hopefully now you have a sense of a few what-ifs you want to explore, and some worlds and characters to go with them.
40
And in the next lesson, we'll dig deeper into developing characters and how we approach that at Pixar.

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.
