What This Course Is About
The Emotional Story Engine starts where most storytelling courses do not. With emotion. Before you pick a structure or write a single word, you decide how you want your audience to feel. Everything else builds from there.
This course walks you through the complete card deck system. You will learn how to mine your own life for stories worth telling, match them to the right pattern, build vivid scenes, shape your story to any length, and deliver it with presence and confidence.
What You Will Learn
- The emotion-first approach to storytelling
- How to find powerful stories from your own experience
- How to choose the right story pattern for any situation
- How to build scenes with depth and detail
- How to deliver your story on stage and on screen
Who This Course Is For
