Listen to Yourself
Dr. Foster Mobley // Quotables, Wisdom Leading
Q: What might you learn about yourself if you listened to your own narration?
Many of the most celebrated movies use a special technique to tell their stories. Amadeus, The Color Purple and American Beauty, to name a few, all use narration. If done well, this narration provides the audience with a sense of deepened insight about the characters and the story.
Have you ever wondered what it would be like to narrate just one day of your own life? Think of the types of comments you'd make about the situations and people you encountered. Think also about the clarity and wisdom you could access using the detachment and objectivity of a narrator. Now, try to imagine what it would be like to listen to that narration.
