I Wish I could get some medicine like that kunox.
you can't sleep? I hear you... most of the time my meds work in reverse sleep wise but most of the time they knock me the heck out...
Started to record my story, but it is long and my voice started to go. Basically I don't think anyone is going to take over half an hour of me going on so I am going to tell it in two parts. It is very different when there is an audience present, I am continuously 'reading' them for one thing, so if they look like they are not really into one bit I can easily shorten it and move on. The other thing is that you have a fair idea which bits will appeal before you start, are they children, adults, male, female, couples? Is it a casual audience or one that is there to hear a story? All these things dictate how the story should be told, so it is quite hard working to a camera. I go over the story in my head for a couple of days, then have at least a couple of practice runs out loud with a bit of an interval between them to work out what is good and what is not. A half hour story takes two or three days thinking time and probably a couple of hours actually working on it including the time I set the equipment up and upload the recording, maybe more.
Recording my own stories is much easier, I'll read them through a couple of times and read them aloud once making notes on the page of things I want to change for an oral version, then read it. They also tend to be much shorter than the traditional stories, though I have got a couple of longer ones to try soon.
each spring there is a storytelling festival with a swath of diverse mastery represented.Quote:

this comes to mind as i read your channel experience.
perhaps actual photographic representations of the diverse listening group
just beyond your camera would aid you.
as you look from one to another, your telling should adjust accordingly.
the festival is held on a hill where blanket groups sprawl.
it runs well after sunset and becomes very much like fireplace/campfire tales.
best,

send us a PM, no questions asked ;) I'll do you mates ratesQuote:

I started writing again.
Little by little, maybe they started smiling again.
