On episode #108 of the Speak Up Storytelling podcast, Matthew and Elysha Dicks are back, talking storytelling!
In our follow up segment, we discuss future workshops and more.
In our Homework for Life segment, Matt talks about finding stories in the quietest of places.
Next we listen to a story by Scott Gawlicki.
Amongst the many things we discuss include:
-
Humor via specificity and nostalgia
-
Opening with a clear scene
-
Defining terms
-
Allowing the audience to get ahead of you
-
A perfect beginning and ending equilibrium
Next we answer a question about storytelling for dating and finding a storytelling community.
Lastly, we each offer a recommendation.
