Short excerpt from a TJ Walker live-stream (The Habit Influencer) offering public-speaking/storytelling advice: Walker recommends reliving an experience in your mind's eye when telling a story rather than trying to memorize dialogue, setting, or pacing, because reliving makes it easier for both speaker and audience to feel the experience.

What's the best way to tell a story? The best way is not to think of yourself as this elaborate crafter of stories, but instead, just relive it. Don't worry about memorizing it and getting everything just right. Just relive the experience as you see it. Use your mind's eye. You saw that person you're talking to and what they said, why they were surprised. Just retell it. Relive it. Don't worry about memorizing the dialogue just the right way, or getting the setting the right way, or the pacing. Just share the experience as it happened. Relive it. It'll be easier for you. You'll be feeling the experience. It's going to be easier for your audience to feel the experience as well.
