TITLE: #3 Storytelling
MTB-ME
1.
Describe an excellent storyteller.
A good
storyteller captivates his audience. A true storyteller enhances the actual
story by making an art form out of the telling of the story.
Watch good storytellers and watch for the elements of good storytelling. What is it that you like about their performance? What elements do you think work well and that also suit your style and delivery of a good story?
Storytelling is at the center of our wonderful oral tradition. Myths, fables, fairy tales, even sermons, are all part of an art that has been handed down through the years by word of mouth. Each culture has their oral tradition and today we can bring all of that together to pass on our knowledge of people, places, and the experience of being human to other people.
As a storyteller you assemble your skills to deliver your unique insight into humanity. Good storytelling is powerful and can motivate people as well as entertain them. Your influence as a storyteller is beyond words, and it is your words, body language, facial expressions, and interpretations that can take an ancient story and make it relevant to today's audiences. A truly great storyteller is blessed with a unique gift, but it’s possible for anyone to improve on their skills as a storyteller and become an even better one. Everyone loves to hear a good story, but the story is only as good as the storyteller. Every storyteller needs two things – a story and an audience. A good storyteller keeps their audience’s attention by staying on point. Straying from the main point of the story is distracting to the listeners. This should only be done if there is a relevant point to be made that actually enhances the story being told. When a storyteller digresses, they often lose their audience. The best story in the world can be lost if the storyteller is getting off subject too often. A great storyteller knows how to present a story well. Presentation is more than just recounting a series of events or retelling a story you’ve heard. It involves careful introduction, attention to pertinent details, proper use of body language and tone, and attention to verbiage. As the storyteller, your body language should reflect that you are paying attention to your words and that you are truly speaking to your audience. Don’t try to tackle other tasks while telling a story or your audience will be lost.
