Shadowing Practice: I found people COPYING my intro... - Learn English Speaking with Video

Ladies with gentle hands, LARPing has become a very big thing in the big 2k26.

And it appears apparently that I indeed do have some LARPers.

And today we're going to be going in and analysing

which ones have the best LARP and why they shouldn't be doing this.

Psych!

Massive plot twist guys.

Although people may be impersonating my intros similar to this video here, which I'm gonna run through a bunch of them.

Hey YouTube, it's me again.

Mayday, we're going down!

*Ding

Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding *

Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding *

Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding *

*Ding

Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding *

Don't really seem to like that people are copying me.

Pixelman, where are you?

Pixelman!

We're on!

The car crashed and the we're on, right?

It's crazy to see, right?

And a lot of people are getting really angry at me because I haven't done anything about it.

And guys, you want to know something crazy?

Is that I was actually the LARPA all along.

Indeed.

On the day, the fateful day, I uploaded this video after uploading many Fortnite daily videos in a row.

My friend showed me a video the day I uploaded Remember Who You Are, White Boy.

As you can see here, we've got a beautiful little thumbnail transition.

Remember who you are white boy.

The transition tweaker, you know, with the car crash, that coming in.

No foxy added here yet.

So this is OG me right?

That's me like literally only about a month and a half ago.

Um, my friend showed me a video.

French Quarter Tour in 2022.

And I loved him.

I did.

This happened.

As you click this video, You will see.

Check this out.

Look at that, bang.

Beautiful little thumbnail transition.

Now, he didn't have a crazy intro like I did.

That was actually an original idea.

That idea of the thumbnail transition is not mine.

I did not do that.

Now guys, I would firstly like to advise that you don't do this, because you will get lots of quick success However, that X6S isn't a real community.

Is real anything guys.

I'm telling you now, you will fall off.

It's cool to resort to gimmicks and it's a good hook I guess.

But people just come from the hook, right?

Like, my Semenautica video has, like, 700 views, and then all my other videos have, like, you know...

i mean they have a couple they have a couple

but then you know you just fall off into irrelevancy that's sort of just what's going to happen

so i highly advise you guys don't actually resort to gimmicks

that's why i've stopped doing the intros everyone gets angry at

me why why i am why no intro that's why

but today we have a couple videos of ones i'd like to analyze and discuss

and this is this is one of this is a massive one a lot of people tag me

and get angry at me saying you're copying him i'd even had a guy commenting on on my post

and said why are you copying ellie smash which is low -key crazy but let's take a look

I'm still watching as FUCK!

Today we're gonna play Fortnite.

Bro, pretty awesome, you know?

Got the Ali Smash 3D text coming in.

Got the Ali Smash text coming in.

Full pun intended, I believe.

You know, he's got a beautiful transition.

I can't, I can't, I can't diss it.

I can't down it.

It's good, guys.

Here we go, another one.

And the best thing about it is he's doing it in livestreams.

That's awesome.

I've only done it once in a livestream.

We've watched the Pixel Gun one.

Here's another one.

Surviving a Dodo game.

2, 3, Arby.

Bang, the Foxy Jump, explosion.

Today we are unboxing this GroGarden.

W unboxing the GroGarden, you know what I mean?

Here's another one.

I'm terrified of some water.

Now that one is almost generally one for one with one of my intros for the Subnautic community.

That's crazy.

118

Now, How would I rank these?

119

Not gonna lie, Ali Smash, I gotta say, number one.

120

He's definitely number one.

121

French Court tutorial's gotta go at the top, 'cause he's actually OG.

122

This, uh, Ripped in Half -On's gotta go lower down the list.

123

Flogging Varence, pretty decent.

124

Deliberate reference, pretty tough.

125

I did like 303 Arby.

126

I liked Iron Boxing Dude.

127

And Terrible Guy.

128

Terrible Guy was actually pretty good.

129

He had like three intros.

130

He could probably go higher than the Pixel.

131

I should just underneath the Pixel Guy.

132

And that's probably the orders I would go. But guys.

133

The main thing of why I wanted to show you all of this, right?

134

And talk about this.

135

So there's so many people have been pressing me in my comments on TikTok.

136

Tell me to do something about it.

137

Stop them from copying you.

138

But guys, you want to know something crazy?

139

Is that one day I want to be dead?

140

Hopefully that's a long time from now and I get to live a beautiful full life.

141

But guys, all of them are gonna be dead as well.

142

Please!

143

Please!

144

And the best part about this part of their life, when they're making these intros, maybe never making another YouTuber video again, is the fact that they're just having fun.

145

And that is it.

146

That is really it.

147

And I'm not gonna - I'm never gonna crush someone for having fun.

148

Even if you copied my videos one for one.

149

What can I do?

150

I'm just here in my - in my little room filming making videos every single day.

151

And these people are doing the exact same thing.

152

And they got a cool idea and they thought it was fun

153

so they wanted to do it and they all did it.

154

There's many many more of these that I didn't add into this video.

155

Just like when I watch Frenchcore, I watch this.

156

Now, can you ever write on, uh, you know, creative freedom?

157

Can you - can you actually own it?

158

I don't know.

159

That's a big ethical question.

160

What is actually yours?

161

What's someone else?

162

My personal opinion, I couldn't give a damn.

163

I actually couldn't care less.

164

I'm just here to have fun.

165

If other people are going to have fun doing the same thing I'm doing, then I'm here for.

166

And yeah, that's pretty much all today.

167

I hope you guys love yourselves.

168

I love you.

169

Jesus loves you too.

170

And I'll see you on the next video.

171

Keep staying innovative.

172

Keep creative.

173

I'll just say don't resort to it.

174

It's a terrible gimmick.

175

You'll get lots of views, but you will fall off.

176

Let's rebuild and let's have fun.

177

Day.

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.
