Upcoming Webinar: How to Tell a Story with Tom Darbyshire
Two tours contain the same facts. One is dry and dull. The other is dynamic and engaging. What’s the difference? Storytelling. Join us for a how-to webinar, where Tom Darbyshire will share 15 practical “Script Tips” anyone can use to make their tours more lively, with examples to illustrate.
Tom’s TellBetter tours of New York City consistently rank in our Top 10 for sales, downloads and followers. As a former Executive Creative Director at one of the world’s most creatively awarded advertising agencies, he spent decades crafting captivating stories and teaching others to do the same. Now he’s bringing those lessons to the art of audio tours.
Listen to this example of the craftsmanship he brings to every story from his tour The Lower East Side: Tenement tales of hardship, hope and humor. During the webinar, he’ll use this example – along with a few other publishers’ standout locations – to illustrate practical tips anyone can use to craft better stories.
