What advice would you give to a new storyteller? Even if they are scared to tell their story to not be because everyone wants to hear it. Go for it! You will learn a lot about  cultures,stories and how to make them sound interesting. What ever you do don’t be afraid of the audience (they don’t bite) and speak slow and loud. Use gesture. Once you learned a story keep practicing. Don’t give up. Fear is not a real thing. Talk loud and smile.

What did you like best about being a member of The Storytelling Connection? Listening to stories in class. Meeting other kids interested in storytelling. Having my story in my imagination. Learning how to tell stories. Performing my story. Performing my story in my classroom at school. Performing on stage at the Discovery Museum. Telling my story.
