>> YOUR LINK HERE: ___ http://youtube.com/watch?v=AcnFc0QKfKo
Jon Mason is a professional story teller, telling tales of myth and legend from across Europe, including the Norse myths and sagas, the Finnish Kalevala, the Welsh Mabinogion, plus many local stories. • In these days where many of us are spending more times indoors Jon gives us insights into story telling, his own experiences, how to become a great story teller, and has also allowed us to publish Part 1 of the Finnish Kalevala on this channel to showcase his work. From my own personal experience, listening to Jon's stories allows you to connect with the world in a way we can't do right now, and so I highly recommend you go seek out his channel and see some of his work. • Jon is performing the Mabinogion over four parts from the 26th January, and if you're interested in seeing this then more information can be found here: • https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/o/jon-th... • I would heartily recommend you go and support his YouTube Channel, website, and Facebook page, especially if you wish to see him perform. • Website: https://jonthestoryteller.com/ • Facebook: / jonmasonstoriesandmusic • YouTube: / @jonthestoryteller • Chapters • -------------------------------- • 0:00 Introduction • 0:33 Why is storytelling so special • 3:41 How did you get into storytelling? • 4:59 Was there a story that specifically made you interested in telling stories? • 6:41 What about the King Arthur myths? • 9:28 How do you balance telling history with telling myth? • 11:47 How do you tell a story?
