Story telling tips

Fellow speaker,

When telling your stories:
  • Get your story characters talking - use vocal variety, gestures, etc. to make your story come alive
  • Repeat events in the story - add length to your story by having the same events happen over and over again
  • Get the audience interacting with the story - this builds audiences' "ownership" of your story
  • Leave out the moral - let the audience in their mind supply their own moral to your story
Storied,
