Story Telling
1.decide on your story topic
This is the hardest part. You have to choose something both entertaining and learnable relateable. If you loose miss the entertainment your story will be boring and everyone will throw fruit at you. Miss Forget to make it relatable, it will be pointless a waste of breath.
2. Use your words well
Too many words will drown your audience. Too few will bore strangle them.
3. Practise controlling your voice
Your voice can will either be your best friend or your worst enemy. All emotion and feeling has to be conveyed through your voice. You're a one man band. You represent are every character and every character is represents you.
4. Fall back on motion and facial expression
Your movements and facial expressions fill in the gaps that voice leaves behind. Taking your story from your ears to your eyes to your heart.
5. Story Telling LIVE
The most important step. Forget about being a story teller. Live the story. Be a story worth telling. Meet new characters. The good and the bad. I'm living a story with all the ups and downs. A story of love, pain, and sacrifice. Of smiles, laughter, and tears. Of friends, enemies, and family. Of bruises, rain, and sunshine. My story is full of strike outs and new ideas. I'm in a story where I'm not just the ink of someone's pen, or the breath escaping another's lips. I'm breathing real and very alive.
