How to be a good storyteller book.
Use your imagination to make the story come alive as you prepare.
Make them feel like they were right there with you.
The 5 elements of storytelling every entrepreneur needs to know.
The audience will wait for the resolutionthey want to hear it.
The storyteller is a very compelling novel from jodi picoult and its a story about redemption and forgiveness.
Keep your story focused.
In a 30 second spot 25 seconds are spent developing the problemusually theres some humor thrown inand then in the last frames you see the logo of the product.
Good storytelling is a sort of verbal bobsledding.
If you pay attention to commercials on tv its almost all storytelling.
When developing and practicing your story ask yourself what is this story about if you cannot answer concisely in a sentence or two revise the content of your story to keep it more tightly focused.
Depending on the situation you can relate that to the old axiom.
Adjust the length of your story based on the type of person listening to you.
A good story will revolve around a single well defined idea topic or theme.
First tell the audience what youre going to tell them then tell them then tell them what you told them.
So consider what the point of your story is before you tell it.
All effective memorable stories have a beginning a middle and an end.
Regardless of the audience size a good story works for any audience.
Fill the story with specific sights sounds smells and emotions.
Others will settle in with a sort of oh boy sigh at the very start and watch you through half lidded eyes.
Make sure yours does too.
Thats a bummer but it makes sense.
We like stories for the pay off.
Sometimes thats included in the story.
It isnt concerned with how many people can hear it just that someone somewhere is listening to it.
If there is no point thats fine but its not a good.
I had been giving picoult novels a wide breath over the past few years as i had felt her books were beginning to take on a pattern which i grew tired of quite quickly.
A good story need not be brief and it also doesnt have to be told at a breakneck pace.
Give your characters personalitieslive the story with themknow and feel their emotions.
Even when telling an old and familiar story you must use imagination and all the storytellers skills to make it come alive.
