It's no fun when people don't listen to you, is it?

It's not nice to feel like you're on the sidelines

and everything you say is just spoken over or forgotten or not heard in the first place.

I used to have that very same issue.

I don't anymore.

In fact, that's a lie.

I can do.

I do tend to default into speaking too quickly and under-energized.

And usually that happens when I'm tired or

if I'm speaking to someone I've known for a long time or

if I am speaking to someone who I look up to

a lot I can tend to make myself smaller quieter

and speak too fast usually because of anxiety around speaking to them

or just kind of lacking confidence in the situation now this happens to most likely everyone not everyone

but most people have a certain degree of this and

if you're watching this video firstly I'd like to say stop worrying

so much it's not as big a deal as you as you think

and it's not because you don't have a deeper voice

and it's not

because you don't have a louder voice although those things tend to sometimes come with confidence it doesn't mean

that doing that will show or provide confidence it just means

that those people have are more relaxed usually and

when you're more relaxed you're more resonant in the first place

so whatever your voice type is

or whatever range you speak in being more relaxed will always make it more fuller

and more richer sounding

and give you the edge on your own voice it doesn't matter what other people sound like

or have done in the past that's not important I tell

you what back in 1994 I saw the artist Björk Bjork

for those in the UK I saw her play at Phoenix festival in Stratford-upon-Avon in the UK

and now you wouldn't think of Björk as having a

like a powerful voice would you or an authoritative voice

but she you might even think she's kind of quirky or cute

or I don't know what your your thoughts are I know

that's how people have described it to me in the past

but really she's a fierce warrior

and talking about commanding attention she sings with power don't get me wrong

but she's not necessarily got a deep voice she certainly knows her stuff that's very true

but when I saw her play at the time I believe she was dating a drum

and bass DJ called Goldie and I'm not sure

if there's any influence on the music there

because she was a talented musician herself

but she walked onto this huge stage without any band there in a little white dress.

She stood there at the microphone at the front of the stage, nothing else.

She did no dancing around.

She stood there very calmly, very grounded, very present, and drew these thousands of people into her.

She literally just performed her songs, and towards the end of her set, a lot of them were remixed with drummer bass, which is why I thought that was at the period she was dating Goldie.

Now, she's a kind of, you know, small framed woman she's got a not high-pitched voice

but it's a you know you wouldn't say it's a powerful voice necessarily she doesn't sound operatic for example

but she commanded

that audience more than I've ever seen in fact it was

one of my favorite like shows I've ever seen in my life

and it was a real testament to holding court and actually holding presence because presence will command attention.

If you are connected, if you are grounded, if your feet are flat on the floor, your belly loose and your muscles limber and relaxed,

you will draw in more attention.

You can't help but do that.

If you are listening, if you are engaged, you will become engaging.

This is a really, really, really key thing to remember if you feel you don't fit in, If you feel that you're not being listened to or heard,

you need to plant your feet in the ground and let people know you're there, not through volume, not through deepening of the voice, but through your presence.

By being present, you become more present and that is commanding and that is how, the best way I know that you can command an audience.

In the future, watch your favorite speakers or people you look up to or peers or friends or relatives around you

and try to notice the ones that really stand out and

if those people

that really stand out also tend to have deeper louder voices see what else they might be doing see

if there's anything else in their message are they connected

or are they just like throwing words away are they with you do they draw you in

or are they just putting the message on you what is it that works look at them Watch people.

You can improve yourself by looking at others.

And if you can find a video of Bjork from the mid-90s, check her out.

She was absolutely awesome.

Hopefully that's helpful.

Very short one today.

But think about it.

It's really important to command attention.

You don't have to be louder.

You don't have to be deeper.

Just more grounded and present.

See you next time.

為什麼用這個影片練習英語口語？

想要在說話時吸引注意力，卻總覺得自己的聲音被忽略？這個影片太適合用來做英語口語練習了！它不僅分享了實用的表達技巧，還通過真實案例（比如歌手比約克的舞臺表現）告訴你：聲音大小或高低不是關鍵，放鬆和自信才是核心。跟著影片進行英語影子跟讀（shadow speech），既能模仿自然的語調，又能學習如何在對話中“抓住聽眾”，讓你的口語更有感染力。

語境中的語法與表達

“It's no fun when...”：用來表達“當...時很無趣”，後接否定情境，比如影片中“It's no fun when people don't listen to you”，簡潔又口語化。
“tend to + 動詞原形”：表示“傾向於做某事”，如“I tend to default into speaking too quickly”，準確描述習慣或狀態，在日常對話中高頻使用。
“don't get me wrong”：意為“別誤會”，用於澄清觀點，比如“don't get me wrong, but she sings with power”，讓對話更流暢自然。

發音易錯點解析

影片中有幾個單詞容易讀錯，比如Björk（比約克）的發音，注意“jö”類似“約”的輕讀，不要發成“喬”。還有resonant（共鳴的），重音在第二個音節，讀作“ˈrezənənt”。另外，“anxiety”（焦慮）的“xie”部分要發成“zai”，不要讀成“ xie”。通過影子跟讀（shadowspeak）反覆練習這些單詞，能有效提升發音準確性。

看YouTube學英語就是這麼簡單！跟著這個影片練，不僅能學表達，還能掌握吸引注意力的秘訣，讓你的口語更自信、更有魅力。

什麼是跟讀法？

跟讀法 (Shadowing) 是一種有科學依據的語言學習技巧，最初開發用於專業口譯員的培訓，並由多語言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。這個方法簡單而強大：您在聽英語母語原聲的同時立即大聲重複——就像是一個延遲1-2秒緊跟說話者的影子。與被動聽力或語法練習不同，跟讀法強迫您的大腦和口腔肌肉同時處理並模模擬實的講話模式。研究表明它能顯著提高發音準確性，語調，節奏，連讀，聽力理解和口語流利度——使其成為雅思口語備考和真實英語交流最有效的方法之一。
