Training and study to become a storyteller.
To become a good storyteller, it can be helpful to undergo training or study in literature, creative writing, storytelling, narratology, or linguistics. This can include courses on narrative structure, storytelling, the art of storytelling, and multiple points of view (author point of view, narrator point of view, narrative point of view, external point of view, reader point of view, French point of view, dominant point of view). It may also be useful to become familiar with the tradition of storytelling in French and read renowned French authors. Regular practice and observation of other storytellers can also improve narrative skills.
What is the role of the storyteller?
The role of the storyteller is to tell a story using narrative techniques such as narration, narrative structure, plot development, storytelling, and story building. The storyteller can choose to tell the story from the first or third person perspective, depending on the narrative technique he or she wants to use. The storyteller can also use different modes of narration such as chronology, character point of view, ellipsis, and flashback to enhance the story's coherence. Narratology, narrative analysis, and narrative elements are tools that can help the storyteller build a captivating story and ensure the narrative coherence. The pace of the narrative, narrative devices, and narrative techniques can also be used to create interest and tension in the story. The storyteller may also include narrative elements such as main characters, details, and plotlines to reinforce the narrative. Narrative forms such as romantic storytelling can add depth and substance to the story. Film narration, comics, and video games are other examples of narrative forms. Ultimately, the storyteller's goal is to captivate an audience by telling an interesting and coherent story.
Why hire a storyteller?
Calling upon a storyteller can be useful for several reasons. Firstly, a storyteller can add a captivating plot to a story using techniques such as focalization (external, internal, zero), narratology, narrative thread, and form. The storyteller can also use different narrative modes, such as internal or external point of view, to enhance the subjectivity and narrative power of the story. Furthermore, the storyteller can use narrative rhythm and techniques to maintain the audience's interest. A storyteller can also add depth and substance to a story by working on the structure of the narrative, the narrative points of view, and the linking. They can choose an omniscient point of view or adopt different points of view to multiply perspectives and strengthen narrative coherence. Moreover, by using different narrative forms such as film or video game narration, the storyteller can bring the story to life. Ultimately, the storyteller's goal is to captivate their audience by creating a complex plot, telling the facts and adventures coherently, and creating a sense of narrative. The audience is intrigued by the temporal development, the linearity of the narrative, and the initial and final situation of the story. Storytellers can also add diversity by using different perspectives and creating texts of different types. In summary, calling upon a storyteller can bring depth, substance, and interest to a story.
