Explore the keys to effective storytelling, laid out by Josh Campbell, a professional storyteller and Creative Director of Spillit Memphis. He provides valuable insights into the art of storytelling, from preparation to delivery.
Preparation with flexibility
While preparation is crucial in storytelling, it’s equally important to allow some room for exploration.
Stick to the outline but make the journey worthwhile by incorporating some spontaneous elements.

It’s important to name names and present an authentic narrative.
