LLMT 417 - Story Telling

Everyone loves a good story, but here's the secret: it's not the story, but the telling of it, that keeps listeners enraptured and makes the tale a memorable one. In this class, you'll learn tricks that turn an ordinary tale into a spellbinding one: pitch, pauses, gestures, and eye contact, as we work with diction, pronunciation, and character voices. We'll listen to expert storytellers, then try our hand with the class as our audience. We'll also cover sources for unusual stories and props.
