Hey everyone, it's Hedar.

Thank you so much for joining me.

Today we are going to practice shadowing to improve your pronunciation,

grammar, and vocabulary, and we're going to do that with The Devil Wears Prada.

We're going to shadow Meryl Streep as she plays Miranda Priestly.

We are going to focus on understanding her authoritative and composed voice.

We're going to practice tone of voice, intonation, rhythm, and stress.

If you're new to my channel, my name is Hadar.

I'm a non-native speaker of English.

I'm a fluency and pronunciation coach,

and I'm here to help you speak English with clarity, confidence, and freedom.

Let's get started with our shadowing episode.

By the way, if you want to work with a script,

you can download it.

It's absolutely free, and I wrote all the notes about the stress words and pronunciation notes all in there,

And you also have a link to this video.

So if you want to download it and have access to it all the time,

feel free to do that.

The link is in the show notes and the description below.

First, let's watch the scene.

This stuff.

Oh, okay.

I see.

You think this has nothing to do with you.

You go to your closet and you select,

I don't know, that lumpy blue sweater,

for instance, because you're trying to tell the world

that you take yourself too seriously to care about what you put on your back.

But what you don't know is that that sweater is not just blue,

it's not turquoise, it's not lapis, it's actually cerulean.

And you're also blithely unaware of the fact that in 2002,

Oscar de la Renta did a collection of cerulean gowns.

And then I think it was Yves Saint Laurent,

wasn't it, who showed cerulean military jackets.

I think we need a jacket here.

And then Cerulean quickly showed up in the collections of eight different designers.

And then it filtered down through the department stores

and then trickled on down into some tragic casual corner where you no doubt fished it out of some clearance bin.

However, that blue represents millions of dollars and countless jobs.

And it's sort of comical how you think that you've made a choice that exempts you from the fashion industry,

when in fact you're wearing a sweater

that was selected for you by the people in this room from a pile of stuff.

All right, let's begin with the first line.

This stuff?

I want you to channel all the contempt and dismissal energy and put it in this phrase.

This stuff.

Stuff.

She connects the S of this with the S of stuff.

Listen to it again.

This stuff.

It's a little pause.

This stuff.

Oh, okay.

I see.

Oh, okay.

I see.

So it's a little sarcastic, a little ironic.

She doesn't really see.

She wants to make her feel bad and small.

So, this is why this tone of voice sounds the way it is.

Oh, okay.

I see.

Right?

Now, again, think of the phrase,

I see, and it could be said in a genuine way.

Oh, okay.

I see.

Thank you for telling me.

Oh, okay.

I see.

Hey, good.

Right?

Like, you see how that changes the meaning?

And let's listen to how she says it.

Oh.

Okay.

I see.

So when the tone is a little lower,

when you have that vocal fry, I see.

Oh, okay.

It means that the tone is not genuine.

It's more sarcastic.

Okay, so let's listen to what she says.

You think this has nothing to do with you.

What is she stressing here?

Let's listen to it again.

Which word is she stressing?

Pay attention.

And a stressed word is usually longer, louder, higher in pitch.

I see.

You think this has nothing to do with you.

So it's the you versus us.

Because right before she's saying that,

Andrea was kind of like smirking or laughing at what they said.

Andrea is played by Anne Hathaway.

She's like, kind of like, I don't get it.

100

I don't get like this stuff.

101

So, she's saying this has nothing to do with you,

102

what we're doing here.

103

This is why she stresses the word you.

104

You go to your closet.

105

You go to your closet.

106

Again, the two words are stressed.

107

Say it with me.

108

You go to your closet.

109

Go to, go to, go to,

110

go to your, go to your closet.

111

Now I'm going to play a line and I want you to repeat right after it.

112

And you select, I don't know,

113

that lumpy blue sweater, for instance.

114

And you select, I don't know.

115

So the, I don't know,

116

say it as a connected unit.

117

It's like a filler word.

118

Okay.

119

I don't know, that lumpy blue sweater, for instance.

120

For instance is for example.

121

So that needs to be said together as well.

122

I want you to say it again.

123

Okay, I'm going to play the line again and you repeat it with the same intonation and the same connected phrases.

124

Let's do it.

125

And you select, I don't know,

126

that lumpy blue sweater, for instance.

127

And then the next line is...

128
