	The story teller may use vocal variation and physical movement to suggest different characters and character relationships in order to make the story clearer and more interesting. The story teller must sit in a chair; other costumes and props are not permitted. The student is expected to "demonstrate a sense of audience", that is, tell the chosen story in such a manner that would be suitable for the intended audience. Material for story telling will be chosen by the student based on the topic areas announced by the State Office. A student will choose and rehearse on or more different stories for each topic area. Original material is acceptable. Topics Rules: 1) Before speaking, each participant will allow the adjudicator to select and initial a story from his or her selection card. 2) A brief introduction identifying author, title, and intended audience is required. 3) The participant must sit in a chair. No other costumes, props, or visual material may be used. Vocal music must be incidental and consist no more than 30 seconds. 4) Notes are not permitted. 5) Maximum time limit is 8 minuets. A 30 second grace period is allowed. Need some tips?
