Examine the following portion of his speech:

“In the space of about two seconds, Albert had the knife between the

cartilage of the tail, right next to the butt of the lamb, and very quickly

the tail was gone and in the bucket that I was holding.”

“A second later, with a big thumb and a well calloused

forefinger, he had the scrotum firmly in his grasp.

“And he pulled it toward him, like so, and he took the knife

and he put it on the tip.

- AkashKaria.com/FREE

Page 10: Public Speaking: Storytelling Techniques for Great Presentations - How to Bring Your Stories Alive

“He snips it, throws the tip over his shoulder, and then grabs the scrotum and pushes it upward, and then his head dips down, obscuring my view, but what I hear

is a slurping sound, and a noise that sounds like Velcro being yanked off a

sticky wall…”

Did you feel grossed out by the description?

Page 12: Public Speaking: Storytelling Techniques for Great Presentations - How to Bring Your Stories Alive

Did you perhaps scrunch up your face in disgust, as I did when I heard that portion of

the speech?

- AkashKaria.com/FREE

Page 13: Public Speaking: Storytelling Techniques for Great Presentations - How to Bring Your Stories Alive

Did that scene play out mentally in your head like a

movie?

- AkashKaria.com/FREE

Page 14: Public Speaking: Storytelling Techniques for Great Presentations - How to Bring Your Stories Alive

Why did that scene affect you so powerfully?

Great Stories Target Your Senses

- AkashKaria.com/FREE

Page 16: Public Speaking: Storytelling Techniques for Great Presentations - How to Bring Your Stories Alive

The reason that the scene affects you so much is because

it contains a lot of sensory information that brings the scene alive in your mind.

- AkashKaria.com/FREE

Page 17: Public Speaking: Storytelling Techniques for Great Presentations - How to Bring Your Stories Alive

Because it contains so many vivid details, you can’t help but watch the scene playing out in

your head.

- AkashKaria.com/FREE

Page 18: Public Speaking: Storytelling Techniques for Great Presentations - How to Bring Your Stories Alive

The secret to turning your stories into mental movies for your

audience is to make sure your scene is rich insensory inputs.

There are four senses that you need to cover: Visual, Auditory, Kinesthetic and Smell (VAKS) –

VISUAL

You could see the knife and you could see the man firmly holding the sheep’s scrotum with his “big

thumb and well-calloused forefinger.”

You could hear the slurping sound, “like Velcro being yanked off a

What could you feel?

Page 28: Public Speaking: Storytelling Techniques for Great Presentations - How to Bring Your Stories Alive

You could probably feel Albert firmly holding the scrotum in

hand.

You might even have been able to feel the sheep’s pain (even though that isn’t

specifically mentioned in the scene).

Turning Your Stories into Mental Movies

If you want to turn your stories into mental movies for your audience, make sure you cover the VAKS.

- AkashKaria.com/FREE

Page 32: Public Speaking: Storytelling Techniques for Great Presentations - How to Bring Your Stories Alive

As this example shows, you don’t have to give details about all four sensory inputs, but it is recommended that you do cover at least three out of the four VAKS in order to fully transport your audience into your story.

- AkashKaria.com/FREE

Page 33: Public Speaking: Storytelling Techniques for Great Presentations - How to Bring Your Stories Alive

Also, as this example shows, the descriptions of your

scenes don’t need to be very long.

- AkashKaria.com/FREE

Page 34: Public Speaking: Storytelling Techniques for Great Presentations - How to Bring Your Stories Alive

You’re telling a story, not writing a novel!

- AkashKaria.com/FREE

Page 35: Public Speaking: Storytelling Techniques for Great Presentations - How to Bring Your Stories Alive

In fact, the shorter your descriptions, the faster your story will move along

and the more impactful it will be.
