Story Telling

For Children's Theatre we have been practising our 'Story telling' voices, this is more so important for me playing Momma Pig as she will be the main narrator. For this, each week we have been taking part in workshops, from them I think that that the most important thing about story telling is connecting with the audience; this will mean keeping the audience engaged, trying to make eye contact regularly to as many of the audience members as possible and using your voice especially creating different voices sometimes for characters and other times to create atmospheres, also returning to the voices to show the same character or same location / atmosphere. Similarly with all children's theatre, I think it is also important to remain extremely happy at all times, whilst still appropriate of course.
