Telling Stories
I can’t tell a joke, let alone a story; however, I do appreciate the talent and effort required to do both effectively, and I strive to make myself a better storyteller (practicing as I read my daughter books): it’s something I’d love to be good at.
Aaron Shepard’s Storytelling Page has some great advice for storyteller wannabeez:
His site includes Tell a Story!: A Guide to Storytelling and A Storytelling Bookshelf: Good Books for Getting Into Telling a Story, and Stories to Tell.
Stuart McLean (who has a blog that he hasn’t updated in a long time) is a well-known Canadian storyteller (if you listen to CBC) who has a national radio show called The Vinyl Cafe. He tours Canada (and maybe the U.S.) with his brand of storytelling and WWR-style musical entourage.
