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
