On behalf of Expert Village I am Nicholas the Storyteller here in Miami, Florida and today I am going to teach you how to tell a story. How do you get to Carnegie Hall? It's an old story. A guy's in New York, he walks up to a fellow on the street and he says "how do you get to Carnegie Hall?" And the guy says "practice". You've heard that one before I'll betcha you have. Well that's the important punchline to a storyteller. Practice your art. When I was first learning how to tell stories I promised myself, and I kept my promise, that I would tell a story each and every day as long as I could. I'd tell more than one story but practice is everything. Because when you practice you hear yourself telling the story and you make corrections, without even really thinking about it. Practice is good.
