1
Yeah, I was 10 years in before I discovered the Whisper.
2
And he goes down here.
3
He gotta go down here.
4
Until one day...
5
Yes.
6
He's up here.
7
I, you know, when I was a kid.
8
Lion gets up and tans the shit out of everybody.
9
Kevin Pollack was doing...
10
He had a whole podcast talking, walking.
11
He did the whole thing, walking.
12
But there was one where he had technical difficulties, and he had to record just an apology, like an 11-minute.
13
And he was, the whole thing was done down here.
14
I was like, holy shit.
15
Wow.
16
I didn't even know you could do that, like you said just like in the crawl space of Walken's voice.
17
In the crawl space with John Wayne Gacy.
18
Yeah, they put all the boys in there.
19
How about the surprise when you get in the crawl space and meet all your friends?
20
There's the guy from the Dairy Queen.
21
That's Walken trying not to crack up.
22
I was looking for the guy, I know.
23
I didn't know you were a prostitute as well.
24
We're doing Walken's.
25
Yeah, I guess.
26
It's a good time.
27
Why not?
28
There's a little Heath Ledger joker there.
29
This is interesting.
30
Who do people say Heath Ledger's doing in The Dark Knight?
31
Do you know?
32
The general consensus seems to be that he's doing like Tom Waits from like his country jazz period.
33
Oh, I've seen that.
34
There's a lot of like old letterman and stuff of Tom Waits just being like, I don't know.
35
And then pulling confetti out of his pocket and throwing it.
36
So he had kind of, Tom Waits had a little bit of a clown persona, a little bit of a dangerous LA drunk guy persona.
37
So I think that's the first thing people think when they're looking at Heath Ledger's Dark Knight.
38
But someone brought up to me that it sounds a lot like Al Franken.
39
And that there was a point where he identified Al Franken as having the perfect Midwest accent.
40
He was trying to do like a Midwest Joker.
41
Al Franken's way up here and complaining.
42
Yeah, but sell us that.
43
Sell us the Dark Knight Joker.
44
Do I look like a guy with a plan?
45
Yeah, exactly.
46
Al Franken, you'll start hearing it now that I've said it.
47
Oh, then I gotta listen to Al Franken.
48
Once we're in the writer's room and you know, they put the upcoming guest and musical acts on the board.
49
He's sitting at the table.
50
He always has a pencil in his mouth.
51
Yeah.
52
I go, who's Emma Thompson?
53
And he goes, takes the pencil and goes, Are you fucking kidding me?
54
How do you not know she won an Academy Award?
55
And I look right under her name is Smashing Pumpkins.
56
I go, hey Al, who are the Smashing Pumpkins?
57
He goes, I don't know, but they didn't win a fucking Academy Award!
58
And he stormed out. So I got him.
59
Oh my god.
60
And that's where the Joker got the disappearing pencil trick.
61
Oh my god, Joe.
62
Exactly, all the way back.
63
Joe's warming up.
64
Don't let Joe get hot from 3.
65
He'll fucking bury it.
66
Don't let Joe get on.
67
Al Franken did that to A.
68
Whitney Brown.
69
Oh, my God.
70
Okay.
这个视频适合谁？
无论是准备雅思口语练习的考生，还是想提升日常口语的学习者，只要想通过英语影子跟读掌握地道发音和语调，这个视频都很合适。它的对话充满生活化表达和独特口音模仿，能帮助中高级学习者突破“chinglish”瓶颈，学会更自然的口语节奏。
值得借鉴的词汇与习语
- tan the shit out of everybody：狠狠地教训某人。视频中用来形容狮子的威慑力，口语中可表达“彻底击败”。
- crawl space：（房屋底部的）爬行空间。此处比喻沃肯低沉嗓音的“深处”，可引申为“不为人知的细节”。
- crack up：笑到失控。如“Walken trying not to crack up”即“沃肯努力不笑场”，是日常对话高频表达。
如何练好这种口音？
模仿视频中的发音关键在“低位置共鸣”和“断续感”。首先，用shadow speech法逐句跟读，注意沃肯说话时喉部的下沉，像“he goes down here”这类句子，要刻意压低声音。其次，捕捉语流中的停顿，比如“until one day... Yes”的留白，这是塑造“神秘感”的核心。最后，结合shadowing site的重复训练，重点练习“sell us that”等短句的重音处理，让口语更具感染力。
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。
