Ep. 295 “NARRA-LOG?”
How do you find a balance between narration and dialog? NARRA-LOG! Like one of Mark and Darren’s clients, you may think, “That sounds like a NARROW LOG!” Today our co-hosts talk about bridging the gap between too much narration/not enough dialog…and vice versa…using that ‘narrow log.’ They give guidance on using both techniques effectively to build your unforgettable presentation.
SNIPPETS:
- Find the right balance between narration and dialog
- Look for key emotional shifts in your story
- You may need to reel in the dialog
- Avoid creating a soliloquy
- Don’t create a stage play
- Decide when narration serves best
- Choose two or three ‘dialog moments’
- In dialog, more than one character must speak or react
- Use dialog to increase conflict, show a revelation, and reveal the aftermath
- Reactions tell the story
