Shadowing Practice: Answering Questions You Guys Ask Me About P*rn... Honestly! - Learn English Speaking with Video

Hey guys, it's your girl FitSid and I am back with another video.

So we're just going to start the video off here.

If you guys are new to my channel, I hope you enjoy.

If you guys are OGs, hi, welcome back.

I know it's been a hot minute, but today we're going to be answering your questions.

So, with that being said, it's been a while.

So I'm really excited to just like chit chat with you guys

and just make some awesome content and like actually answer questions and you know, let's do this.

So I asked you guys on Instagram.

If you guys aren't on my Instagram, you can follow me here um and my other socials will be right here

but i asked you guys on instagram

and i got a decent amount of replies i'm not gonna swipe it

because right now instagram's having this weird glitch where it like goes away

and like yeah like super weird it like randomly did that on its own so

let's start with like a basic question and then we'll get into the nitty -gritty

just

so you guys know as a disclaimer this video is for

educational purposes only i'm not trying to convince anyone to get into the industry this is just for educational purposes

and to answer your guys's questions okay

so the first question is how did you get in the industry i actually have a whole video on this

but basically i got out of a relationship

and i started working as a bikini barista

and then i really needed more money because i had just gotten kicked out

and um my car that i was driving

which was a 1997 mercury villager it was like the ac was out

and it was catching on fire on the side of the

road like all the time like I think it caught fire like three times in like a couple of months

which for your car to catch fire that's like pretty uh like it would always go out

because I would like see the steam

and the smoke above the hood like coming out of the hood

so like I would always pull over

and like you know it never caught fully on fire

but it was definitely on fire so that's the reason why I got in

because I wanted money

and I really honestly like I just need to be able to pay for my school my medical bills

and being able to be like on my own um i don't like depending on other people

and i really needed something that like was gonna be comfortable for me

and that is something

that i've everyone said once i got in the industry they were like you were meant to do this

and i'm just a very uh person

so we're gonna get into the rest of questions now all right

so next question would you consider yourself a star

so personally for me i would consider myself a lot of

things technically i would consider my thirst toasty technically i would consider myself a star

but at the same time i wouldn't

because i don't really do mainstream stuff like i currently in the future might

but like everything currently is on only fans and model hub

and many vids so if you guys want to see some of my stuff you go there um but like

I've definitely had a lot of companies reach out to me

and everyone kind of talks about me as a porn star

but like for myself I would just say

that I'm like a mattress actress you know next question is the pay good

and then there's another question that was like really similar

which was saying do you get paid per video

or do you get paid annually

so first of all you do not get paid annually um most people

that are in the industry get paid per video

and they just get paid like a specific rate for me personally like I don't get paid

when I make a video I just if hopefully

if my fans buy it um then I get paid

so like for me personally like I don't know

if you guys gonna like a video and buy it or

if it's just gonna completely flop and then like the time

and energy and like whatever money I put in for my like outfits

and stuff and paying like a camera person

and maybe like i usually don't like film stuff here like i film some stuff but not a lot here

like whatever money i put into that video i don't know for myself

if i'm gonna make the money back

and a lot of people they would rather just have the

money instantly for me personally like i would much rather have control of the video

and like where it goes

but um most people get paid instantly i don't i just have to like hope

that it's gonna get paid like someone's gonna want it

and then like other people are gonna want it um so

and no one really gets paid annually um

and the pay being good honestly like it's like a normal

job it just depends on how many hours you put in

like for me personally like I work probably 80 hours a week

and I had not had a vacation until I went to Hawaii recently

and even in Hawaii I was still working

because I need to be able to pay for the trip

so I mean like I think the pay can be really

good it just depends on like what you're doing um in the industry

and i really want to get into that in a separate video

because i think people think we're like rolling in money

but that's not usually the case next question is how can we join fitzid studios

so fitzid studios is a production company that i have and

if you're wanting to be part of that

or like film some content for it um you can just reach out to me at my email

which i'll always have in the description box but

but like i don't promote it very hard

because a lot of the time i reach out to people

and say like hey do you want to shoot for my studio it's still a baby studio

but my goal is to be able to help other people

and like make amazing content and just have fun with it um

but you always reach out to my email i personally usually

don't work with people unless i know they're serious about it

so if you're just messing around

and you're wanting to have fun like that's not really like

100

why I joined I don't want to waste my time um filming with people that are like

101

not serious about it so next question is how do you get tested

102

and is it free or how does it work and how often

103

so the answer to that is number one I get tested at least every other week

104

so I'm tested at least twice a month um

105

and I get a full gold panel

106

so I get tested through talent testing for those of you

107

that are curious that is an industry standard to be in pass

108

and pass is just a way like a way for everyone to make sure

109

that no one has anything um

110

and you have to show your results before you're filming

111

so i pay like 265 dollars every time i get a test um in different places it costs different

112

but like in arizona it's like 265 for the lab

113

that i go to all right

114

so the next question is can you have sex with people out of the industry

115

or only within the industry

116

so this is actually like a huge debate personally for me

117

this is what I do I'm not going to talk about

118

what other people do personally for me I choose to only work

119

and be with people now that I'm actually filming with other people

120

because when I started it was solo

121

so I didn't have to worry about like always having a fresh test

122

and like having one that was like up to date

123

if I had a new partner or anything like that but like

124

because I get tested twice a month at least um this month is actually three months three tests

125

because of how it all worked out but

126

if you are choosing to be in the industry you are choosing to do two separate things first thing

127

when you're in the industry like you are choosing to number one you need to respect the talent

128

that you're working with and number two the talent

129

that you're working with you don't know what they're doing outside of it

130

so for me personally like that's my mentality is i don't work with people unless I know

131

that my test is good

132

and that's my own personal thing like I don't work with people

133

and I don't like outside of the industry the only people

134

that I am with are people that are tested so

135

and like usually it's wrapped so if

136

that makes sense like you just gotta like figure out the risk

137

that you want because the risk is you could always get something

138

and then not be able to shoot for like a week

139

because or two weeks actually

140

because the first week you have to find out about it

141

in the second week you have to get like medication for it to treat it

142

so that's like two weeks worth of a failed test

143

that you were positive on a result like I just wouldn't want that

144

so to answer your question personally for me I don't mess

145

with other people outside the industry like I always want everyone to be tested

146

and wrapped if possible you know like in the industry we don't really film um like

147

that so like in the personal world if I am gonna choose to do

148

that I would make them wrap it and get tested

149

that way I'm safe but either way you always accept a risk

150

because no matter what you are doing something

151

that is like putting other germs near your your world you

152

know next question this is actually a really good one do you choose who you make content with

153

so and then there was another question that was really similar

154

that was like do you get to pick or does the company pick

155

so for me personally I actually film all my content with people

156

that I really like to film with like every single person

157

that I filmed with has been someone that i think is like slightly attractive

158

or you know we just have fun

159

and like we have good chemistry um i personally get to pick

160

if you're filming a scene for a company that's like brazzers

161

or reality kings or anything like that that's

162

when you don't get to pick like they they pick it for you

163

but if you're making your own content

164

and you're selling it like i do then you get to pick who you work with

165

and you get to kind of like figure out what you're into

166

and like i've been able to explore a lot of things

167

so it's been kind of cool you know do you ever branch out into the public to make content

168

or is it all in -house personally for me all of the content

169

that i make i produce edit do all that shebang within myself

170

and my peeps but um if like you're shooting a mainstream thing for like browsers

171

or something then obviously like you would have their camera person um their editors

172

and they would post it themselves but the stuff that i post i do myself

173

and i have my friends help me with so yeah all right

174

so this is actually a really good question this is has

175

it had any effect on your personal life such as family

176

and friends do you feel bad in any way after doing

177

a video with a person you don't really know for money

178

so that's two questions right there first question is about the family

179

and friends and i can tell you right now like

180

when i started over oh gosh i started in august of 2018 it's all it's like been a year

181

and a half of doing this i can tell you right now

182

that the friends that left my life i have no ill will towards

183

but they just weren't the right people in my life um

184

they couldn't see past like what i did as a job

185

and for me personally like i'm glad

186

that the universe took them out of my life and

187

that i chose this job because there were so many people

188

that stepped up to the plate as my friends and showed

189

that they truly cared and they saw me as who I am as a person

190

and they knew me for a lot more than just like the way

191

that I make my paycheck and like they know who I really am deep down

192

and I think that that's like one of the biggest things

193

that people do not understand is like you don't change as a person everyone has sex I think we forget

194

that I think we all need to like take a step back

195

and understand that like to make you your parents had to have you so when

196

when people act like it's such a taboo thing we all

197

i i have a feeling besides my mother you guys my mother actually didn't know what have looked like

198

so she really probably has never seen in all honesty

199

but like most people watch and then they look down upon the people

200

that make it even though they're the ones consuming it

201

and watching it and keeping this industry going for me it didn't really affect my life very much

202

because the people who really matter to me

203

and like the people who see me for who i am

204

and that i want in my life have stuck by me

205

and have never made me feel like i'm less of anything

206

for doing what i do now the second part of

207

that question do you feel bad in any way after doing

208

a video with a person you don't really know for money

209

personally for me i don't feel bad um my first shoots

210

that i ever like did they were very exciting for me

211

it was different um i feel like a lot of people like we all know hookup culture

212

and i feel like it feels about the same except it's a little bit more professional

213

and like people are like a lot more open -minded

214

so we always talk about like hard nose and it's honestly not

215

that hard because like i personally feel like this is like an enjoyable thing and i've always been a person

216

so when it comes to this like this isn't hard for me like this is something

217

that like a lot of people do like most people

218

that i've talked to

219

that are like my friends in my personal life not every

220

single one a lot of them they have a higher body count than you would expect

221

and that doesn't change how they are as a person

222

but like sometimes they have more sex than i do

223

and i definitely don't have a lot of like personal sex

224

a lot of the time like most of the time i just film it

225

because that's fun

226

but i don't really feel bad about it i feel like

227

it feels like a hookup it feels like hookup culture just like

228

when you hook up with someone at a party um i honestly got into this at a pretty young age

229

but all my friends that do the same thing i feel like they feel the same way

230

that I do when I film this stuff

231

but there's a lot of things that I genuinely enjoy

232

when I film

233

so I feel like it just depends on your mood you

234

know like as long as you go into it with a good mood like you actually enjoy it

235

and it's fun

236

and I don't feel bad about it next question is do

237

you really want to stay in this industry honestly for me I've been in the makeup industry fitness

238

and then this industry which is adult I have never felt more myself more welcomed

239

and it and like just people are less judgmental like

240

when I was in fitness everyone was always so mean about my body

241

and made me feel like i was less of

242

because i was not a size two

243

when i was in makeup it was different

244

but similar um i just wasn't meant for

245

that industry now this one i feel like it's very inclusive

246

i feel like you're gonna have the same problems you have in any industry you know

247

but no one makes me feel bad for being me

248

and that's one of the reasons why i definitely want to stay in it

249

and even if i have kids my plan

250

and my goal is to stay in it in some way whether it's helping younger girls

251

that are getting in not go down the path of being addicted to things

252

and you know just like keep taking care of themselves

253

and protecting themselves because our bodies are still a temple

254

when you work in this industry like it can be a

255

whatever kind of temple you want whatever religion you want you know whatever you want to do with it

256

but just doing things that never make you feel like you've crossed a boundary

257

because that is like the biggest importance you know so like

258

when I do get older

259

and I have kids I really do want to stay in the industry

260

and just be able to like help others

261

and show them how to make smart decisions um

262

and just show them that they always have someone there

263

because I feel like this is the industry where you either are meant for it

264

and you thrive or you're meant for it but you make a turn

265

that causes you like a lot of pain

266

and you might not have supportive people in your life

267

so that's kind of my game plan all right Okay last

268

question this is actually like a pretty big one this one

269

just came in two minutes ago it says the side no one talks about your mental health

270

so for me personally i have struggled really hard with two types of health like physical health

271

and mental health and um mental health has been

272

like honestly like the the both of them going together i

273

guess taking care of myself physically this is this job has made me realize

274

so many things about my body

275

that i didn't know i know what a lot of things look like i know signs for things

276

when i'm working with other people to look for

277

which has given me so much education um and just like experiences

278

that my friends have taught me on how to cope with certain things

279

so like when you shoot a lot you have to take care of yourself you have to give yourself

280

that self -love and self -care and that goes for physical and mental

281

and i feel like this industry is one of the biggest

282

ones where they actually care a lot of people struggle with anxiety

283

and depression in this world and it's not taboo to talk about

284

when you're in this industry and I feel like that's an amazing thing

285

for me I've realized that I do struggle with like anxiety

286

and depression and just like normal things

287

but I don't have it to where it's like extremely severe

288

you know it's just like learning how to cope with the highs

289

and the lows and knowing that there's other people

290

that are open to talk about it

291

and not just like sweep it under the rug

292

and say just get better like it'll be okay

293

so for me i feel like it's been an amazing experience

294

i feel like i've actually been able to like take my mental health into my own hands

295

and learn new coping mechanisms and this year for 2020 i am putting myself first

296

and i'm gonna start working more on my health

297

and getting to the gym and taking time for that

298

and yoga and meditation really helped me with my mental health

299

and like with this type of industry like you are extremely busy shooting

300

if you actually want to make money or camming

301

or whatever you choose to do but

302

if you're always doing stuff you can carve out time just

303

like any job i love being able to create my own schedule

304

so then i can have time to do those things

305

because last year was a really big learning curve for me this year i know

306

that like the things that i need to do are like deep breathing like things like that really help overall

307

but with that being said that is all for this video

308

that was my last question i just wanted to end it

309

on there i feel like your mental health just to like cap

310

that off i feel like your mental health is really important

311

and i feel like a lot of people struggle with it um no matter what industry you're in

312

and it just happens to be one where people actually talk about it

313

and i love that so with

314

that being said those are the questions i'm going to answer this time

315

if i see any other good ones i might sit down

316

and film another version of this

317

if you have any more questions put them down below just

318

so you know i love you you're important and you're intelligent

319

and you're beautiful or handsome but just know

320

that the universe is conspiring for your happiness and i will see you guys in my next video bye babes

What is the Shadowing Technique?

Shadowing is a science-backed language learning technique originally developed for professional interpreter training and popularized by polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. The method is simple but powerful: you listen to native English audio and immediately repeat it out loud — like a shadow following the speaker with just a 1–2 second delay. Unlike passive listening or grammar drills, shadowing forces your brain and mouth muscles to simultaneously process and reproduce real speech patterns. Research shows it significantly improves pronunciation accuracy, intonation, rhythm, connected speech, listening comprehension, and speaking fluency — making it one of the most effective methods for IELTS Speaking preparation and real-world English communication.
