Storytelling & Body Language Pointers
1. Plant your feet and get a comfortable, confident
posture to begin.
2. Take a breath and make eye contact with a friendly
face before beginning.
3. Eliminate “uhs” by pausing periodically when
you are speaking.
4. Image the story in your mind and describe what you
see.
5. Focus on perceptual details (colors, sounds,
tastes, smells, movements).
6. If you rock or move your hands in a repetitive
way, make the movements fit with the story’s rhythm.
7. Surprise the audience with a few dramatic or sudden
movements.
8. Be yourself and speak from your heart.
