Ep. 277 CAN THEY SEE YOUR STORY?

Your audience can hear your story, but can they SEE it? Today Mark and Darren explore ways that you can prompt your audience to go beyond just hearing your story, to experiencing it...right at the beginning. These simple techniques will help your audience to see your unforgettable story.

SNIPPETS:

• Telling your story is like creating a painting

• Share 2 or 3 details about the setting

• Let the audience paint the picture

• Let the audience see one visual and one emotional character detail

• Non-verbal depictions can paint a clear picture

• Dialog can be very descriptive

• Descriptions of characteristics and clothing are highly effective

• Your entire audience need not see the SAME thing; they must see SOMEthing

• Test your story by creating an audience (NSA, Toastmasters, Mastermind etc.)

• Ask them what they saw and respond to feedback

• Be creative and compelling
