I was once a judge for storytelling contest and thought the ballista questions were very good ones. And want to share them on this blog.

• Does the storyteller display confidence?
• Does list storyteller fiddle around with their close?
• Vocal clarity or the able to be understood when they speak?
• Vocal expression, do they use different voices to present the different characters of the story?
• Body language, does a teller use their body to tell the story?
• Appropriate gestures, does a teller use hand gestures to help tell the story?
• Familiarity, Is a teller familiar with the story when they don’t jump around but the stories presented in coherent sequence without having to go back
• Does the story have a satisfactory ending?
• Does the teller provide good eye contact with the audience involving them in the story?
• Does the story have a good audience appeal?
• Is the story unique?
• Is the story appropriate for the audience being told?
