A word of counsel occurred to me on telling the story and printed versions. Understand words on a page, no matter how zippy, are not what it takes to inspire. It is the teller of the story, perhaps even more than the story itself that results in inspiration to action. A lot of what I offer when I tell these above strikes is not on the page. Anyone who has seen me do a strike knows that I tell it a little differently every time. My written strikes are merely a navigation tool designed specifically to keep my dyslexia in check and get it straight, which reduces my OCD anxieties.

Several 'tricks":
Raise and lower the volume of your voice to add impact
Pause to add drama
Look one shooter hard in the eye, then scan around
Move, but not too much
Use accents if you can on the quoted lines
Dont be skeered to allow yerself emotion during your delivery
Don't git lost in too much detail
Find the elements that speak to you and focus on them - if it inspires you, your telling will be inspired
Read your strike over and over silently. Then read it aloud in private. Then read it to your cat - any biological life from that will sit still will do.
It's OK to use notes to stay on track, but don't read from them - keep yer eyes on the shooters
Keep each strike to 20 minutes - Americans are notorious for short attention spans
If you work the same venues over and over, expound differently, on different areas of the story to shake it up a bit for "repeat offenders"
