The Art of Storytelling: Narrative Techniques for Beginners

The Art of Storytelling: Narrative Techniques for Beginners

“I want to thank you for accompanying me on this course. Remember that everyone can tell stories, the important thing is that you choose a story that involves you and tell it believing every word you are saying. Credibility is key. And also remember that forgetting can be your ally and a good chance for you to use your creativity. I have prepared a list of essential steps to apply to your project: 1. Research and read many stories of oral, popular origin from the most different peoples. Look for these stories in books, websites, childhood memories, and more. 2. Select one of them to count. She has to be the one that impacted your mind and heart the most. When the story beckons to you begging to be told, be sure to heed it. 3. Read the same story many times, becoming familiar with the plot, setting, details, etc. Repetition is a fundamental learning tool, the more you practice, the better your narration will be. 4. Before recording your story, tell it to someone or yourself aloud, try to appropriate the narrative as if it had been invented by you. 5. Finally, when recording the story, don't be afraid to forget or make mistakes, remember that this can be a stimulus for you to improvise. And most of all, have fun! If you do, others can enjoy your story as well. Finally, I invite you to participate in the forum, to comment on the work of others and to interact. Share your final Project with all the creative community we have here, it's always good to hear feedback from many different readers. Good work and good stories!”
