Story Hour is a casual environment in which to practice influential storytelling.
Today we will share stories inspired by “Storytelling Tool: Pause.”
In storytelling, silence is often just as important as the words we say. Pause is one of the most dramatic tools of story delivery, and worth experimenting with. Today we’ll explore ways to leverage pause in our storytelling. We’ll discuss how it invites curiosity, how it amplifies emotional impact, and gives weight and meaning to specific moments. Bring a story that lets you stretch into your own use of pause, or one that illustrates what can go wrong when pause is misused.
