Summary: Bringing a Story to Life
Review: As the title suggests, this book is not aimed at storytelling novices. It has wonderful information, however, organized around the storytelling "triangle" (the story, the teller, and the listener) -- and all of the relationships between them. Lipman includes information on language, imagery, kinesthetics, voice, understanding the story, preparing the story, and much more.

Summary: Improving Your Storytelling by Doug Lipman
Review: Doug Lipman is an absolutely superb story genius. He has really taken the art of coaching artists to the next level. I highly recommend the book, as well as Doug in person, because he is truly dedicated to the craft. His book is easy to read, understand and to use right away. This is a book about how to improve your life, not just your stories! If you want to take your storytelling to the next level, buy this immediately !

Summary: Falling in Love with a Story
Review: Want to learn how to tell a story straight from your heart--read this book!

Like some targeted readers, I am a professional storyteller. How intellectually stimulating it was for me to experience Doug's story-learning process. It felt so good for Doug to take me with him as he showed how he makes each story his own.

Doug Lipman seamlessly wove together three concepts: honoring your audiences, telling only stories that you can love and that speak to you, and practical story-learning techniques. He found methods to engage both my right and left brain as I voraciously chewed and swallowed each and every page. This book is rich with no extraneous wordiness or meaningless trivia. This author makes every word count within a logical whole cloth of thought about ways any teller of tales can enrich their audiences by becoming one with their stories and their audiences.

Kudos to a master teller!
