Especially up till now when I had to let go of it --

But it's not my voice --

And -- one of the things I love about it is

我最喜歡 beatbox 的地方是

that it can really get outside

它能夠做到的事情

of what you expect is possible in the world,

比你預期它可能做到的還多更多

it can go so far outside of what your expectation is.

它能夠做到比你預期的多太多了

And that's what got me into it in the first place.

這就是當初我決定要投入 beatbox 表演的原因

It was an incredible performance by a guy named Rahzel.

有個叫做 Rahzel 的人做了一個非常出色的表演

And, you know the drum noises that some of this people make --

Thanks --

謝謝 --

There is more -- (Deep voice) There is more to come.

You can do some incredible things with beatboxing,

and the thing that really blew my mind,

而真正讓我非常驚訝的是

in one of these performances -- we're doing

在一場表演中 -- 我們在表演 beatbox

a beat and the choirs at the same time.

同時也在合唱

And -- It's this incredible performance and it doesn't seem possible --

就是這個令人難以置信的表演， 這感覺是不可能的 --

You hear the beat (Beat sound)

And it's funny because for me

這很有趣，因為對我來說

the technical aspects of beatboxing

beatbox 的技術層面

really push the fast parts and the cool parts

真的讓 beatbox 表演中的「快速」和「酷」 這兩個要件推展到一個新的境界

and making just distinct noise, sound, all on it's own.

並且能夠製造出獨特的噪音和聲音

(Beatboxing)

(Beatbox 表演)

Those comprise the technical aspects, but what's

這些就是 beatbox 的技術層面。 但是對我來說

the hardest part for me in really moving forward,

要持續深入研究 beatbox，最困難的是

actually comes from the hesitation to make weird sounding noises.

如何能夠不再遲疑地 去製造聽起來很奇怪的噪音

(Laughter)

(笑聲)

And the more I think about that, the more I notice

當我越思考這件事情， 我就越注意到

where else that comes up in life.

在生命中還有哪些時候會遇到這種遲疑

You know, the first thing I do, for instance

例如，當我走到一個樓梯間的時候

when I get into, like a -- a stairwell

我做的第一件事情

with some fantastic natural reever.

就是發出一些很奇妙的天然 reever 聲

(Reever sound)

(Reever 聲)

And you hear those big noises move --

而你可以聽到那些很大的噪音 --

And then -- the funny thing is to notice how if I hear

接著，有趣的事情就是去察覺當我聽到

somebody else coming up the stairs then I just --

有人走上樓梯的時候， 我的聲音就會變成 --

(Beatboxing sound)

(Beatbox 聲)

You know. (Laughter)

像這樣 (笑聲)

A person comes up and I'll just -- (Singing acting normal)

有人接近我的時候， 我就會變得 (假裝正常的唱歌)

as they walk by, as if they didn't know that that was me.

當他們走過的時候，好像他們不知道剛剛發出 奇怪聲音的就是我一樣

(Laughter)

(笑聲)

And it's so funny because -- you know --

這是非常好笑的，因為 --

the thing that's holding me back --

讓我遲疑不前的東西

is the same thing that I have to let go of

恰好就是那些我必須放下的

to come up here and make weird noises in front of you.

如此我才能站在這個舞台上， 在各位面前發出奇怪的聲音

And it's -- you know, it's entirely internal.

而那是 -- 我內心深處的東西

And it's the -- I get embarrased

那是 -- 我有時候會因為

by myself sometimes, with -- (Wheeze sounds)

自己發出了這個聲音 -- (Wheeze 聲) -- 而感到丟臉

I wanna let you in on the process

我想要帶領各位深入了解

of learning a new noise.

學習一種新的聲音的過程

I am working on the soft palate right now --

最近我正在鍛鍊我的軟顎 (位於硬顎後面，靠近喉嚨的一片柔軟組織)

trying to make a tone. (Wheeze sounds)

試圖利用軟顎發出一個音調 (Wheeze 聲)

It's not going so great. (Laughter)

我現在還做得不太好 (笑聲)

But maybe it will eventually and learning how to train

但我最後可能可以控制得很好。 學習如何訓練

different parts of myself to vibrate in different ways,

我身體的不同部位， 以不同的方式震動 --

(Deep cracked voice) is what taught me how to be able to do that

(很低沉的破嗓子) 正是讓我能夠發出剛剛那個聲音的原因

that's actually someting above my vocal cords.

事實上這個聲音已經超過 我的聲帶所能發出的最高音了

(Clear voice) while I sing a pitch --

(清楚的嗓音) 當我唱出一個音調的時候 --

(Vibrating pitch)

(振動的音調)

You can hear I was doing two things at the same time,

你可以聽到我在同一時間發出兩種聲音

that's two pitches.

這就是兩種音調

(Vibrating pitch)

(振動的音調)

So, letting you in on this little process is just, you know --

帶領各位了解這個過程真的是...

you can feel so amazed sometimes by something that's --

有時候你會感到非常驚訝

that you get thrown at you,

因為你所接受到的

that's outside of your own expectation,

是超出你預期之外的

but rather than substitute information that matches

而不僅是更新你目前所了解到的

your current set of 'what's possible in the world.'

「你可以做到什麼事情」中的一項而已

What I like to work on just letting go, and kind of let the experience come in

我想要持續練習如何放下， 並且讓自己能獲得那些經驗

and not give myself to the negative self talk,

而且不要讓自己陷入負面的情緒中

and the kind of -- I wanna hide -- (Singing acting normal)

也不要讓自己陷入那種 -- 我想要隱藏 -- (假裝正常的唱歌)
