Presenting correctly in front of adults

If you have decided on a couple of suitable and contemplative Advent stories for adults, then all you have to do is present them in a really exciting way. Read here how to do it.

• In order to be able to give an exciting presentation, it is first and foremost important that you can read fluently. So practice the text several times beforehand.
• It is also good if you can recite a few passages by heart. This will make it more exciting because you can watch your audience every now and then.
• The emphasis on the individual text passages is very important when speaking. Read aloud when an upset area comes, softly and thoughtfully when it is quieter.
• In dialogues, put yourself in the shoes of the characters and emphasize accordingly.
• You should know the Advent stories well. Put signs in the margin of the text that show you whether a quiet, sad, thoughtful, funny or angry passage in the text comes next.
• Take breaks so the audience can breathe. Pauses are also advisable in the text - especially after difficult passages.
• Read loud and clear, because if the audience does not understand you, they will switch off and find your presentations no longer exciting.
