2
Tanya Cushman Picture this.
0:01.70 – 0:09.00 (7.3s)
3
You're going on a boat trip, and you get on board with your family, and you've got your bags, and the captain comes out to greet you and says, Hi, my name's Montana Bonfless.
0:09.10 – 0:24.10 (15.0s)
4
I'll be your captain for this journey.
0:25.94 – 0:27.72 (1.8s)
5
So, oh boy, let's just have a great trip, sorry.
0:29.12 – 0:34.44 (5.3s)
6
Nope, get me off of this boat.
0:37.10 – 0:39.26 (2.2s)
7
What we want in that moment is for the captain to walk out and say, hi, my name is Montana Von Fliss.
0:40.70 – 0:47.58 (6.9s)
8
I'll be your captain for this journey.
0:47.38 – 0:49.60 (2.2s)
9
Let's have a great trip.
0:49.42 – 0:51.34 (1.9s)
10
The point is, when you are the speaker, you are the captain for that journey and how you show up really matters.
0:52.18 – 1:00.14 (8.0s)
11
For the last 17 years, I've coached thousands of speakers all over the world, from big tech companies to small startups.
1:00.90 – 1:08.48 (7.6s)
12
And everyone, from new hires to CEOs of Fortune 500 companies, want to know how do you show up and look confident.
1:08.92 – 1:18.18 (9.3s)
13
So I'd like to share my top five tips for how to be confident, even if you're not.
1:18.72 – 1:23.76 (5.0s)
14
So let's break it down.
1:24.16 – 1:25.76 (1.6s)
15
What was the difference between those two captains?
1:26.10 – 1:28.60 (2.5s)
16
What did you see?
1:29.10 – 1:29.94 (0.8s)
17
What did you hear?
1:29.94 – 1:30.80 (0.9s)
18
And not just one seemed nervous, one seemed confident, but what was I doing differently to make you think that?
1:30.64 – 1:39.24 (8.6s)
19
Different volume, different words, certainly different body language, but the truth is, I wasn't actually feeling particularly confident.
1:39.58 – 1:50.04 (10.5s)
20
I was just making certain physical and vocal choices to make you think that.
1:49.82 – 1:55.22 (5.4s)
21
You can do that too.
1:56.22 – 1:57.34 (1.1s)
22
Anyone can do this.
1:57.94 – 1:59.64 (1.7s)
23
So what are those confident-looking choices?
2:00.08 – 2:02.54 (2.5s)
24
Number one, turn up the energy and speak up.
2:03.30 – 2:07.34 (4.0s)
25
When you speak up, even just a little bit, it reads as confident.
2:07.02 – 2:12.12 (5.1s)
26
And you don't have to shout.
2:11.94 – 2:13.72 (1.8s)
27
Think about it this way.
2:13.72 – 2:15.08 (1.4s)
28
On a scale of one to ten, aim for a five.
2:14.74 – 2:18.68 (3.9s)
29
Yes, it goes to eleven.
2:19.28 – 2:21.08 (1.8s)
30
But you can just aim for a five.
2:23.54 – 2:25.48 (1.9s)
31
I'm here at a five right now.
2:25.40 – 2:27.62 (2.2s)
32
I can bring it back down to a three down here.
2:27.14 – 2:29.78 (2.6s)
33
Nervous captain was down here.
2:29.34 – 2:31.22 (1.9s)
34
And then we bring it back up to a five.
2:30.70 – 2:32.68 (2.0s)
35
And it sounds prepared, positive, and confident.
2:32.34 – 2:36.06 (3.7s)
36
So turn up the energy and speak up.
2:35.78 – 2:38.62 (2.8s)
37
Number two, pause.
2:39.80 – 2:42.16 (2.4s)
38
Like a boss.
2:42.02 – 2:45.08 (3.1s)
39
Nervous speakers tend to talk really fast, right?
2:46.74 – 2:49.34 (2.6s)
40
And then when they do have a pause, they fill it in with verbal filler, likes and ums.
2:48.82 – 2:53.26 (4.4s)
41
However, if you try to speak more slowly, it just sounds like this.
2:53.80 – 2:59.26 (5.5s)
42
Right?
2:59.52 – 2:59.94 (0.4s)
43
And that's not better.
2:59.94 – 3:00.84 (0.9s)
44
So, instead, make strategic pauses.
3:01.08 – 3:04.32 (3.2s)
45
Pause in transition.
3:04.54 – 3:06.02 (1.5s)
46
Pause for emphasis.
3:05.66 – 3:07.88 (2.2s)
47
Pause like a boss.
3:08.02 – 3:11.32 (3.3s)
48
Number three, superhero stance.
3:12.92 – 3:16.42 (3.5s)
49
Imagine you are a superhero.
3:17.30 – 3:19.58 (2.3s)
50
You can do it from your chair.
3:19.26 – 3:21.22 (2.0s)
51
How would a superhero sit?
3:20.86 – 3:22.86 (2.0s)
52
Yes, let that change your posture, I see you, yes!
3:23.46 – 3:27.64 (4.2s)
53
Let that bring a smile to your face, and have some better eye contact.
3:27.22 – 3:31.84 (4.6s)
54
All of that reads as confident.
3:31.44 – 3:35.02 (3.6s)
55
And pretending to be a superhero is just a super quick way to have confident-looking body language.
3:35.32 – 3:41.58 (6.3s)
56
Now, this one also goes to 11.
3:42.38 – 3:44.58 (2.2s)
57
But you can just aim for a five, and that will be great.
3:48.36 – 3:52.20 (3.8s)
58
tuck in that cape and go save the day.
3:52.08 – 3:54.86 (2.8s)
59
And you can stand in superhero backstage to boost your confidence, but I'm saying bring that superhero stance on stage so that your audience sees you as confident.
3:56.54 – 4:07.48 (10.9s)
60
And if you need an easy shortcut, just make the shape.
4:08.28 – 4:11.58 (3.3s)
61
Just make the shape of a confident person.
4:12.06 – 4:14.86 (2.8s)
62
The audience cannot read your mind.
4:14.60 – 4:17.66 (3.1s)
63
They don't know how you're feeling, so just make the shape and they will go with it.
4:17.64 – 4:22.78 (5.1s)
64
Like, if you came over to my house for dinner, And I open up the door and I was like, hi, come on in, we're having chicken.
4:22.72 – 4:30.58 (7.9s)
65
You'd be like, oh, is this a bad time?
4:32.18 – 4:34.34 (2.2s)
66
You know, you've got to make the shape of a good host.
4:36.14 – 4:38.68 (2.5s)
67
Make the smile shape, right?
4:38.92 – 4:41.62 (2.7s)
68
Instead of crossed arm shape, open up.
4:41.92 – 4:44.26 (2.3s)
69
Hi, welcome, come on in.
4:43.78 – 4:46.48 (2.7s)
70
If you're not sure if you're making confident looking choices, you can just video yourself and watch it back.
4:48.20 – 4:55.94 (7.7s)
71
I feel like I just saw you say, not doing that one.
4:57.12 – 5:00.02 (2.9s)
72
I know, most people don't like to watch themselves, I get it.
5:01.38 – 5:05.12 (3.7s)
73
But wouldn't you rather make that adjustment before you're in front of your audience?
5:05.34 – 5:11.00 (5.7s)
74
Yes.
5:12.38 – 5:12.74 (0.4s)
75
Videoing yourself is a great way to check in to see that you're doing the techniques, but also to see that it's still authentically you, your version of confident captain.
5:13.70 – 5:24.22 (10.5s)
76
Now, how can you do all of these things on performance day?
5:25.54 – 5:29.88 (4.3s)
77
Number four, practice with purpose.
5:30.78 – 5:34.20 (3.4s)
78
So make yourself a rehearsal schedule, put it in your calendar.
5:34.96 – 5:38.62 (3.7s)
79
You can give yourself a little treat when you do a run-through.
5:39.02 – 5:42.06 (3.0s)
80
And make it practice with purpose by giving yourself a specific goal or layering in one new confident captain technique each day.
5:42.84 – 5:51.66 (8.8s)
81
If it's a week before your event, aim to run it all the way through at least once a day.
5:52.08 – 5:58.80 (6.7s)
82
And if you don't have time for a full run-through, just take the opening, closing, run that three times in a row from anywhere.
5:59.42 – 6:05.08 (5.7s)
83
When you're in the shower, when you're walking your dog, when you're making a meal for your kids.
6:05.74 – 6:10.30 (4.6s)
84
I know my kids are very used to me walking around the house talking to myself.
6:10.06 – 6:14.90 (4.8s)
85
whatever you need to do to get in those repetitions.
6:15.94 – 6:19.68 (3.7s)
86
And don't be afraid of overpractice.
6:20.40 – 6:23.36 (3.0s)
87
Don't let that stop you.
6:24.18 – 6:25.70 (1.5s)
88
You can just let go of your verbatim script if it's starting to sound robotic.
6:26.40 – 6:31.02 (4.6s)
89
And you can still use bullet point speaker notes to remind yourself of what you would like to say and to invite you to say it a little bit differently each time to keep it fresh.
6:30.88 – 6:44.02 (13.1s)
90
And let me be clear, by practice, I mean standing up, saying it out loud, imagining your audience and inviting them in, clicking through your slides, doing it as much like it will be on the day, whether it's virtual or in person.
6:44.82 – 7:01.40 (16.6s)
91
And I know it might feel a little funny saying it out loud to yourself, but think about when you learn a new sport or when you practice a musical instrument.
7:02.10 – 7:14.46 (12.4s)
92
If you had a piano concert on Friday, and you got new music on Monday, would you only read your music every day and then play it for the very first time at the concert on Friday?
7:15.34 – 7:27.02 (11.7s)
93
No way!
7:27.04 – 7:28.58 (1.5s)
94
And yet, I see speakers do this all the time.
7:29.00 – 7:32.24 (3.2s)
95
Give yourself a chance.
7:32.84 – 7:34.38 (1.5s)
96
Practice helps everything, and it can really boost your confidence to practice with purpose by layering in one new technique each day.
7:34.80 – 7:46.98 (12.2s)
97
Okay, those first four techniques, they're all about how to appear confident, regardless of how you're feeling.
7:48.36 – 7:55.50 (7.1s)
98
I've got one more technique for you, and it's a big one.
7:56.28 – 8:00.26 (4.0s)
99
But this is the real gem.
8:01.04 – 8:02.60 (1.6s)
100
It's the one that makes all the others shine.
8:02.28 – 8:05.18 (2.9s)
101
This is number five, the silent sentence.
8:06.24 – 8:10.46 (4.2s)
102
This is about what you choose to tell yourself.
8:11.62 – 8:14.92 (3.3s)
103
I've been a professional actor since I was a kid, and I have always loved going on stage as an actor, as a speaker, as an emcee.
8:16.52 – 8:25.18 (8.7s)
104
And at the same time, I have often been not just nervous, sometimes downright terrified to step on a stage.
8:25.74 – 8:35.84 (10.1s)
105
I'm shaking, I'm sweating, and I'm like, what was I thinking?
8:36.84 – 8:40.48 (3.6s)
106
Why do I do this to myself?
8:40.48 – 8:42.18 (1.7s)
107
And all these unhelpful voices flood in, and I just tried to make it stop, push it away, and of course, that never worked.
8:41.98 – 8:49.58 (7.6s)
108
And I kept going on stage because I love it.
8:50.24 – 8:53.92 (3.7s)
109
And years later, when I became a speaker coach, I got asked to do all these professional presentations, and they went well.
8:55.26 – 9:02.38 (7.1s)
110
But I still had no way to deal with that massive anxiety.
9:03.68 – 9:08.18 (4.5s)
111
And I was like, what can I do?
9:08.76 – 9:11.16 (2.4s)
112
And I thought, well, what am I telling myself?
9:12.00 – 9:15.32 (3.3s)
113
What if you mess up?
9:16.40 – 9:17.58 (1.2s)
114
You better be perfect.
9:17.56 – 9:19.24 (1.7s)
115
I realized I was giving myself an impossible instruction to be perfect.
9:20.94 – 9:26.88 (5.9s)
116
And that really was not working.
9:27.82 – 9:29.54 (1.7s)
117
But what would work?
9:30.12 – 9:31.32 (1.2s)
118
What would be a better message?
9:31.32 – 9:33.52 (2.2s)
119
And to figure that out, I had to go back to square one, like, what do I want?
9:34.14 – 9:38.92 (4.8s)
120
Why did I say yes to this speaking gig?
9:37.98 – 9:41.86 (3.9s)
121
What is my deeper purpose here?
9:42.36 – 9:44.46 (2.1s)
122
And I realized at the heart of it, I just want to help my audience to the best of my ability.
9:45.76 – 9:53.76 (8.0s)
123
And when I said that, I noticed everything change.
9:55.52 – 9:58.66 (3.1s)
124
And that's where I found my first silent sentence.
9:59.96 – 10:02.76 (2.8s)
125
I want to help my audience to the best of my ability.
10:03.30 – 10:06.96 (3.7s)
126
When I said it even silently to myself, it acted like this override switch.
10:07.90 – 10:12.52 (4.6s)
127
Like I might still be shaking and sweating, but now I have this higher goal, this deeper purpose, and everything aligned to that, and that became my highest priority.
10:12.70 – 10:21.84 (9.1s)
128
I want to help you.
10:22.70 – 10:24.08 (1.4s)
129
And now that thought replaced those unhelpful thoughts, and everything went better in my performance.
10:24.78 – 10:30.32 (5.5s)
130
And I was like, yes, it worked.
10:31.48 – 10:34.60 (3.1s)
131
Yay.
10:35.98 – 10:36.22 (0.2s)
132
And then I was like, wait, how do I do this every time?
10:38.08 – 10:41.42 (3.3s)
133
Especially when the stakes are high.
10:42.36 – 10:44.42 (2.1s)
134
And it dawned on me, like, if I'm writing and crafting the words I say out loud, why not write and craft the words I say silently to myself?
10:45.40 – 10:55.90 (10.5s)
135
Put it in the script.
10:55.86 – 10:57.78 (1.9s)
136
It's the silent part of the script.
10:57.48 – 11:01.34 (3.9s)
137
So now, every time I rehearse, every time I walk onto a stage, every time I join a virtual meeting, I say the following new and evolved silent sentence.
11:03.12 – 11:15.86 (12.7s)
138
I invite you to be here with me while I am here with you, so that I can make this easier for you.
11:18.14 – 11:28.82 (10.7s)
139
Now, that invitation to myself to be present, that's my definition of stage presence, being present.
11:31.38 – 11:40.12 (8.7s)
140
And that invitation to the audience to be my partner, that reminds me these are friends, not foes, and I am choosing to be here.
11:41.40 – 11:50.32 (8.9s)
141
And now I'm not just making the shape of a good host, I really am a good host, because I am genuinely welcoming you to my world.
11:50.48 – 11:58.96 (8.5s)
142
Now, how do you go about finding your silent sentence?
12:01.32 – 12:04.66 (3.3s)
143
What do you want?
12:06.50 – 12:07.42 (0.9s)
144
What's your deeper purpose?
12:08.58 – 12:10.40 (1.8s)
145
You could be like me, and you might just want to help people.
12:11.50 – 12:15.12 (3.6s)
146
Or it could be something more specific.
12:15.50 – 12:17.60 (2.1s)
147
For example, you might want at least one person in your audience to walk out and take a CPR class.
12:17.08 – 12:24.26 (7.2s)
148
Or maybe you're just super excited to have this experience or share with them some cool solution you have for their problem.
12:25.16 – 12:33.22 (8.1s)
149
You get to fill in the blank and decide what you want to accomplish.
12:33.70 – 12:38.22 (4.5s)
150
And this is not about graduating to some higher level of being where you never again feel nervous.
12:39.68 – 12:46.14 (6.5s)
151
I know I haven't.
12:46.58 – 12:49.06 (2.5s)
152
I was feeling it pretty big about 15 minutes ago.
12:49.52 – 12:52.74 (3.2s)
153
We're getting ready to walk on this stage, and I am, and probably always will be, a recovering perfectionist.
12:54.02 – 13:03.36 (9.3s)
154
That is a well-worn pathway in my brain.
13:05.08 – 13:07.76 (2.7s)
155
It is there, it exists, it cannot be erased.
13:08.52 – 13:11.86 (3.3s)
156
But now I have this other pathway.
13:12.54 – 13:15.26 (2.7s)
157
And when big moments like this come up, I get to choose.
13:16.14 – 13:19.72 (3.6s)
158
And that's what I was doing back there in the wings.
13:20.94 – 13:23.32 (2.4s)
159
I was choosing to gently insist on repeating my silent sentence to set myself up for success.
13:23.84 – 13:32.00 (8.2s)
160
What we tell ourselves really matters.
13:34.22 – 13:36.76 (2.5s)
161
We follow our own instructions all day long.
13:38.00 – 13:40.16 (2.2s)
162
Our whole selves are always listening.
13:40.08 – 13:42.98 (2.9s)
163
So when you notice something isn't going well, or you're fearing something might not go well in the future, use this checklist.
13:44.72 – 13:51.68 (7.0s)
164
What am I telling myself?
13:53.86 – 13:55.38 (1.5s)
165
What's being broadcast?
13:56.74 – 13:58.04 (1.3s)
166
Then, replace that with a better sentence to help set you up for where you'd like to go.
14:00.16 – 14:07.10 (6.9s)
167
And most importantly, put it in the script and practice it.
14:08.22 – 14:12.06 (3.8s)
168
Practice it just as much as the words you say out loud.

So if you're running your intro in the shower three times in a row, it would go silent bit, out loud bit, silent, out loud, silent, out loud, until it is inextricably linked, and it is just a part of your process, and it is repeatable and reliable.
14:15.72 – 14:33.40 (17.7s)
170
And then it's just there for you when you need it.
14:34.28 – 14:36.62 (2.3s)

Now, I want to leave you with this final thought.
14:38.76 – 14:41.34 (2.6s)

When you're at home and you're practicing some of these techniques, like turn up the energy and speak up, pause like a boss, superhero stance, practice with purpose, and your silent sentence.
14:42.68 – 14:59.40 (16.7s)

Please know that it might feel uncomfortable at first because it's new and that is normal.
15:00.80 – 15:05.46 (4.7s)

But think back to when I was demonstrating the nervous captain at the top.
15:06.06 – 15:09.82 (3.8s)
175
How did that make you feel?
15:10.02 – 15:11.42 (1.4s)
176
And then when the confident captain came out, oh, what a relief!
15:12.72 – 15:15.90 (3.2s)
177
Now I can just sit back and enjoy the ride.
15:15.74 – 15:18.74 (3.0s)
178
Remember that feeling of safety you had as an audience member and bring that into your next rehearsal.
15:19.34 – 15:25.42 (6.1s)
179
You can give that gift to your audience.
15:25.46 – 15:28.86 (3.4s)

Reach outside your comfort zone to make your audience feel safe by making the choices of a confident captain.
15:29.36 – 15:38.32 (9.0s)
181
And who knows?
15:39.22 – 15:40.22 (1.0s)
182
You might even have fun.
15:41.60 – 15:43.00 (1.4s)
183
Have a great trip.
15:45.00 – 15:45.98 (1.0s)

- 尝试在说话时提高您的音量和能量，达到一个适合的水平，传达出自信的感觉。
- 留意演讲者的停顿，并练习在您的讲话中加入战略性的暂停，以增加权威感。
- 模仿超级英雄的姿势，坐好并保持微笑，有助于改善您的肢体语言，让您看起来更自信。
- 尽量避免使用填充词，关注您的发音和流利度，练习减少其使用，以提高表达的清晰度。
通过反复练习和影子说话，您将能够在提高英语发音的同时，增强自信心。您可以将视频中演讲者的风格融入您自己的表达方式，使您的英语口语表现更上一层楼。欢迎访问我们的影子跟读网站，体验更多有效的英语口语练习！
什么是跟读法？
跟读法 (Shadowing) 是一种有科学依据的语言学习技巧，最初开发用于专业口译员的培训，并由多语言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。这个方法简单而强大：您在听英语母语原声的同时立即大声重复——就像是一个延迟1-2秒紧跟说话者的影子。与被动听力或语法练习不同，跟读法强迫您的大脑和口腔肌肉同时处理并模仿真实的讲话模式。研究表明它能显着提高发音准确性，语调，节奏，连读，听力理解和口语流利度——使其成为雅思口语备考和真实英语交流最有效的方法之一。
如何在ShadowingEnglish上有效练习
- 选择您的视频： 挑选一段语音清晰、自然的YouTube视频。TED演讲，BBC新闻，电影片段，播客或雅思口语范例都很好。将URL粘贴到搜索栏中。从较短的视频（短于5分钟）以及您真正感兴趣的内容开始——兴趣是最重要的导师。
- 先听，理解上下文： 第一次听的时候，将速度保持在1倍速并仅仅倾听。还不要尝试重复。专注于理解其含义，收集新词汇，并注意讲话人如何强调单词，连读声音及使用停顿。
- 设置跟读模式：
- 等待模式：选择
+3s或+5s——在每句话播放完毕后，视频会自动暂停以便您有时间大声重复它。如果您想完全控制并在每次重复后由您自己点击下一步，请选择手动。 - 字幕同步：YouTube字幕有时会在音频前或后略微出现。使用
±100ms使它们完美对齐以助您准确跟读。
- 等待模式：选择
- 大声跟读（核心练习）： 这是真正发生改变的一步。当一个句子播放出来立刻——或在暂停期间——大声、清晰且自信地重复出来。千万不要只是张张嘴：要模仿说话者的准确节奏、重音、音高和连读。力求听上去就像说话者的影子，而不仅是逐字背诵。使用重复功能多次练习同一个句子，直到感觉自然为止。
- 提高难度： 当练习段落变得相对舒适后，就去挑战自我。将速度增加至 <code>1.25x</code> 或甚至 <code>1.5x</code> 以训练高速语言反射。或者将等待模式调整为 <code>关闭</code> 以进行连续跟读——这是最进阶同样收益最大的模式。持续的每日15–30分钟的练习将可以在几周内产生可见的效果。
