    Ep. 295 "NARRA-LOG?" Apr 17, 2025
    Show notes

    How do you find a balance between narration and dialog? NARRA-LOG! Like one of Mark and Darren's clients, you may think, "That sounds like a NARROW LOG!" Today our co-hosts talk about bridging the gap between too much narration/not enough dialog…and vice versa…using that 'narrow log.' They give guidance on using both techniques effectively to build your unforgettable presentation.

    SNIPPETS:

    • Find the right balance between narration and dialog

    • Look for key emotional shifts in your story

    • You may need to reel in the dialog

    • Avoid creating a soliloquy

    • Don't create a stage play

    • Decide when narration serves best

    • Choose two or three 'dialog moments'

    • In dialog, more than one character must speak or react

    • Use dialog to increase conflict, show a revelation, and reveal the aftermath

    • Reactions tell the story
