Story Telling Skills Part 4

Today in lesson we worked on telling stories to selected age ranges and not just little children. We spent our lesson practicing telling stories to little children again as a warm up but then was given a select age rang and type of person like men at a bar or a group of teenage girls at sixth form we were also only allowed to use our diction and not any gestures or movements. We were allowed to say any part of a story as long as what we said would keep the interest of our target audiences given to us, we then had to try and tell the story but we could anything we wanted to tell the story except our diction which made this much more difficult task. This exercise was also different as one of us was now in charge of deciding what we said was suitable for our target audience, this helped us to not only practice perform to our target audience but also to identify the key traits of performing to our target audience by watching others perform which will improve our own audiences. After this we then worked on this again but this time with one long story that our audience for would keep changing so we would have to adapt our dialogue to the new audience, this became harder due to the constant change of audience and a new rule saying u must wait for 3 people to tell the story before I could speak again. Finally we then had to try and tell a story that was designed for an older audience but to little children in a way that wouldn’t tell them the mature content but still the story like if “someone was killed”, we would say that ”a person forced someone to have a long nap”. We all had to try and say similar things to this but in the way that was suitable for our audience of little children
