STORYTELLING WORKSHOPS 2019
In our Homework for Life segment, Matt talks about how a small moment in the present can often be connected to a similar moment from the past, thus producing an excellent story.
Next we listen to a story by Aaron Wolfe.
Amongst the many things we discuss include:
- The power of contrast in storytelling
- Using humor seamlessly and purposefully in a story
- Timing
- Small endings
- The use of accents in a story
- An interesting way tp present previous events in a story
We then answer listener questions about titling stories, living with a storyteller, and strategies for making room for stories when you're not standing on a stage.
Finally, we each offer a recommendation.
