Storytelling
How do I tell a good story?
And what does it actually want to tell? Every report is unique, and everyone casts their own unique eye - or, on the radio, their own unique ear - on it.
Over the years, I myself have acquired a mixture of preparation (knowing a few facts), stringency (knowing what I actually want to say and convey) and a large portion of intuition, which, depending on the topic, brings in the surprising element and leads to people being able to let themselves drift behind the microphone and show their authentic being.
Especially when it's about the story of another person or something that wants to be experienced, it's good to give the space for it, and at the same time not to lose the overview or to "mess around" in the back.
How this works, and how it can bring charm and a pinch of surprise, I like to train in seminars, which can be for example two days and include some theory, listening examples and own practice. I also like to cater to the individual strengths and character traits of the participants.
​
Seminars, depending on what you're looking for and you're looking for, are more flexibly customizable. When it comes to reportage with embedded interviews, interviewing can play a bigger role, and completely free training is also possible.
Currently I am in Germany and Spain, and there are also online possibilites.
I am happy to hear from you: here.
