Criando lição...
1
This recording session for God of War that we're starting today is the culmination of a lot of preparation.
2
This is definitely the most complicated session I've ever put together.
3
I'm gonna go get a sweatshirt.
4
Should come in the other room while we can, huh?
5
One of you here and one of you here.
6
How close do you need to be?
7
Here, just duck under the microphone.
8
We need to take a couple minutes to readjust where things are.
9
I'm a little nervous about this session, just the number of variables.
10
We've got a lot going on.
11
Two actors at a time.
12
We've got a lot of people gonna be at the session.
13
We've got facial capture, we've got teleprompters, we've got all kinds of stuff.
14
It's a new studio.
15
There's room for error, but I like to think that I've nailed everything down before we got there.
16
But I'm definitely.. my breath's coming a little shorter today than it normally does.
17
We are moments away.
18
What was it, Kratos?
19
All I remember is what I have lost.
20
That is why you should give me the power.
21
I understand its true meaning.
22
My character, I like to think of her as she thinks she's doing something good.
23
But in reality, she's trying to take over the world.
24
Kratos, she is the key to our revenge.
25
I trust you to do the right thing, Kratos.
26
You shouldn't.
27
Kratos, I found out, is a piece of me that I kind of didn't know existed.
28
It's kind of a dark side that it really is fun getting a chance to explore.
29
I delivered your revenge on Zeus.
30
My vengeance ends now.
31
I owe you nothing!
32
Urgh!
33
When you have the other actor in the room, you're able to come up with a rhythm.
34
It makes it more real.
35
I really, really like it.
36
It gives you a chance to play off of what the other person is doing as opposed to doing it by yourself.
37
We're getting so much from this performance that we wouldn't normally get.
38
I'm totally stoked about it right now.
39
You owe me this Kratos!
40
I owe you nothing!
41
Bravo!
42
That's perfect!
43
Awesome.
44
That was it.
45
That was it.
46
I knew you'd come back.
47
I've never worked with the prompters, and it's really freeing for the actor actor
48
because you know you're looking straight ahead instead of always you know face down in the page
49
and it's really a cool experience.
50
Find the labyrinth!
51
AHHHH!
52
AHHHH!
53
Please!
54
Help!
55
Kratos!
56
One of my favorite things to do is scream.
57
I really...
58
I like...
59
I don't know why.
60
Maybe...
61
No, I don't know.
62
Why?
63
I saw Zeus torture my father.
64
I just try really a simple approach to it.
65
It's bringing those words into your character and actually thinking a thought before it.
66
It makes it more real.
67
They called me a monster.
68
Beautiful.
69
Natalie was new.
70
We had never worked with her before.
71
She was an ace.
72
She totally knocked it out of the park.
73
Many more variables than a normal voiceover session for a game today.
74
And it went very, very well.
75
I'm happy with how today turned out.
76
Phenomenal.
77
Phenom.
78
That's all that really matters is Stig is happy.
79
And Stig's happy, we're all happy.
80
Who is Hercules?
81
Well, it was me for seven years on TV, so this is a whole different look.
82
I didn't quite have that look.
83
I had kind of more gear on it.
84
I didn't weigh, you know, 4,000 pounds.
85
This guy's like about 12 feet tall.
86
They called them labors.
87
Ha!
88
That was good.
89
That was really good.
90
Kevin Sorbo was obviously an easy choice because he's Hercules, Not necessarily in terms of the way that he's played Perkins in the past, a little bit of a departure.
91
Can we get, but this kind of brother, more seething?
92
But this time, brother, this time I will destroy you.
93
That's good.
94
In this game, he's a much darker brute.
95
He's not the brightest light bulb out there, but at the same time, when it comes to war, he's brilliant.
96
The direction is more pissed.
97
Okay.
98
As pissed as you can get.
99
The most valuable I can be is to take what the creator of the game has been imagining
100
and seeing on paper for a long time and bringing it to life with the voice.
101
And trying to find different ways to get to actors to achieve what he wants to do.
102
One thing, if you would, Kevin.
103
Yeah.
104
Take the breath after stables and then you can finish off the phrase.
105
Okay.
106
The most frustrating thing about doing voiceover is the amount of time you've got to do each line.
107
You've got to repeat it, but you've got to also do it in so many different ways, so many different inflections, and you end up losing your voice.
108
Have you not killed enough of your family?
109
Good.
110
That's very good.
111
It was a slam dunk.
112
He really brought a passion to the character, and he was very professional.
113
His voice was kind of running out.
114
That's when he gave some of his best stuff.
115
Fantastic.
116
Beautiful.
117
Yay!
118
Thank you.
119
It wasn't the same Hercules, not even close to it.
120
So it was a darker and more sinister person and a more evil person to deal with and play.
121
But, you know, from my standpoint, it was a lot of fun.
122
It's the latest thing.
123
New Day recording.
124
Very excited about it.
125
Today we're doing Rip Torn and Malcolm McDowell.
126
The game's based on Greek mythology.
127
This guy's like the Smith God.
128
And he's like...
129
Always the Vulcan.
130
Yes, exactly.
131
The Roman name for Hephaestus is Vulcan.
132
He's the god of fire and he's a great blacksmith.
133
The greatest thing you have on stage is the other actor.
134
I don't get extra time for this.
135
Thank you.
136
They are entertainment and they are movies and you can get involved in it.
137
It kind of gives you a semblance of what live theater used to be when you had audience participation.
138
Yeah, I kind of look like that.
139
Ghost of Sparta.
140
It is you.
141
Well, well, well.
142
I thought Zeus would have killed you by now.
143
Oh, what's he doing?
144
He's the inventor.
145
He also created a labyrinth.
146
A labyrinth?
147
Wow.
148
And where is the golf course?
149
It's really cool.
150
Eat lunch with Malcolm McDowell, he can't be dead.
151
The ice storm, that will give me the power, the power to bring my son back to me.
152
Where is my boy?
153
That's awesome.
154
You bastards! That was awesome.
155
That was fabulous.
156
We want to protect him with one more, please.
157
One more please?
158
Oh, we're not gonna go protecting all these tapes, are we?
159
Don't tell me we're gonna do two fucking tapes.
160
Why don't you just use a bit of proper tape?
161
You're gonna...
162
Why do we have to do two tapes of everything?
163
Well, because we...
164
Not for protection?
165
Yeah.
166
Oh, come on.
167
Let's listen to it.
168
That's nonsense.
169
We're gonna listen to one line and be right with you.
170
Okay.
171
That's right there.
172
You don't mind, right?
173
Because it's really...
174
If I'm in a jag and it's going, it's going.
175
I hear ya.
176
Could we do the line to escape it, please?
177
Yes.
178
One more time.
179
Tell me what you need.
180
The word catalyst had a little bit of a squirtle to it.
181
Okay.
182
Okay?
183
When you're ready.
184
Okay.
185
To escape it, we must assemble it.
186
Actors are so varied and so different in the way they work,
187
and to find what that key in there is and unlock
188
that door with them and then be able to play is really a challenge and a kick at the same time.
189
He said that if I took the liquid fire and the sling, oh, my boy, oh, my child!
190
I actually like that.
191
It's different than what we thought.
192
Terrific, thank you.
193
Vengeance on the king of gods.
194
You'll need an army of gods. And weapons.
195
Of course, weapons.
196
I could build.
197
I could use the fire of Hades.
198
Wait, please.
199
Please, wait.
200
Free me.
201
Free me from my torture.
202
We're good.
203
We're good.
204
Thank you, Spot.
205
Thanks, Barton.
206
I say, oh boy.
207
I say, squaza.
208
We're not used to people coming in here and nailing it so, like, basically knocking it out of the park like this.
209
Oh, really?
210
We had more time, so.
211
Well, no, okay.
212
Well, listen, I just thought, oh, my God.
213
I thought I had reams and reams and I had to do everything twice.
214
I was like, oh, my God.
215
If you've got it, you've got it, right?
216
Right.
217
Yeah, we've got some great stuff.
218
Great.
219
It's fantastic.
220
Terrific.
221
Thank you.
222
My pleasure.
223
To work with Malcolm McDowell and Rip Torn in the same day.
224
Pretty wild experience.
225
It's fascinating to me too, the different acting styles, because Malcolm McDowell is very much the Royal Shakespeare Company
226
and then it comes in word for word like that.
227
And Rip Torn is more of the old actor's studio and he's a little bit up and down and nowhere, but out of that comes a gold of its own kind.
228
There's an extra level of dimension and texture
229
that we got to them That's just through the fact
230
that they're they're fucking good actors now that we've gotten the recording part of it down
231
My stress level has decreased a great deal now.
232
You can have a glass of wine But you are the reason I live in torment.
233
He told me he would kill you.
234
He can't.
235
Perhaps he did allow me to kill the Nemean lion, but he made your name known amongst the people.
236
A fierce warrior, a killer made a hero, a man made a god.

Por que praticar a fala com este vídeo?

A gravação de som para "God of War 3" oferece um contexto rico para a prática de conversação em inglês. Assistir a este vídeo permite que aprendizes absorvam diálogos reais e dinâmicos entre os atores. Além disso, a interação entre personagens, como Kratos e outros, é uma oportunidade perfeita para entender a fluência e o tom de voz utilizados na linguagem falada. Os alunos podem usar essa prática para melhorar a pronúncia em inglês, pois os diálogos são carregados de emoção e nuances que simularão situações reais de conversação.

Gramática & Expressões em Contexto

No vídeo, várias estruturas gramaticais e expressões são utilizadas, que são essenciais para a comunicação em inglês:

  • Uso do passado simples: "I remember" e "I found out" ajudam a entender como narrar eventos passados.
  • Imperativos: Expressões como "You shouldn't" e "Trust me" demonstram como dar instruções ou conselhos de forma direta.
  • Frases condicionais: "If you do this, then..." são úteis para aprender a criar cenários hipotéticos, tão comuns no inglês falado.

Essas estruturas oferecem uma base sólida para realizar shadow speak e participar ativamente de práticas de conversação em inglês.

Armadilhas Comuns de Pronúncia

Durante a gravação, alguns atores apresentam palavras que podem ser desafiadoras em termos de pronúncia:

  • "Kratos": Preste atenção na ênfase correta da sílaba ao pronunciar.
  • "Vengeance": A pronúncia pode ser confusa para os falantes não nativos; é importante ouvir e repetir várias vezes.
  • Palavras como "power" e "revenge": A combinação de sons e a entonação são fundamentais para a fluência.

Concentrar-se nesses elementos ajudará os alunos a superar dificuldades e melhorar a pronúncia em inglês através da técnica de shadowing em inglês. Praticar ouvindo e repetindo esses termos ajudará a construir confiança e clareza na fala.

O que é a Técnica de Shadowing?

Shadowing é uma técnica de aprendizado de idiomas com base científica, originalmente desenvolvida para o treinamento de intérpretes profissionais. O método é simples, mas poderoso: você ouve áudio em inglês nativo e repete imediatamente em voz alta — como uma sombra seguindo o falante com 1-2 segundos de atraso. Pesquisas mostram melhora significativa na precisão da pronúncia, entonação, ritmo, sons conectados, compreensão auditiva e fluência na fala.
