Using these in the in-person session
These flashcards will be used in the upcoming Storytelling Under Pressure Skills Lab. In pairs, one person reads the opening moment, the other tells the story in 60 seconds, and then you flip the card to compare the beats. Use them solo in the meantime to warm up your delivery.
