This was a fantastic listen for both the storytelling aspects of the lectures themselves, and for the information they convey. The ways in which one can captivate an audience are very well explained and demonstrated. Even without seeing her you know that she is really into the story and making it come alive. That is the biggest thing that she stresses constantly is that the story should be alive to the person telling it so that it can be alive to the people hearing it. There are many ways that you can make it more alive like adding voices, and the pacing you choose at specific points, breaking into character dialog instead of explanation, and visa versa. I’ll have to listen to this one again when I find the time before I tell a story in front of a large group.
