This is the second half of the notes I had last week. Last week was about determining what kind of storytelling, or. This week is to determine who your audience is. You can determine your audience by imagining yourself performing in front of others. Who would you feel comfortable telling stories to?

Think of all those different people and if you could combine them into one individual, what would that individual look like. Now you come up with the visual image of a person of a present your audience. We want to ask questions about this individual to help you understand your potential audience. Or rather the audience you want to tell to

As a storyteller, how do you envision success to look like? Envision what various scenarios would exist that represent your success. It may not necessarily mean money, but other trappings of storytelling that mark you as a success in your mind.

How old is the person?
Where do they live?
What do they do in life, or want to be?
What are their relationships like?
How do they feel about their friends?
What do they look like?
How do they dress?
What are your hobbies?
How do they see the world?
What kind of work do they do or want to do?
Or the tech savvy?
How they spend their time?
Or they come for the technology?
Would they go what they do than our home?
To what purpose do they donate money or donate their time charity wise?
What is their emotional health like? What do they need?
If they moved to a different place. What are the three places they most likely will want to move to?
Does your audience. Need your stories and if so, why? Does that change why your stories are needed? Does this alter the question asked last week of why you tell stories?
Where does your audience. Gather.
What is their community?
How can you be a part of their community?

These questions can help you determine and define your audience
