    Keeping Things Really Simple…

    Our expressive arts need to be kept really simple and back to basics to be really effective and mastered.

    Charles Wagner puts this in perspective for us:

    “All the strength of the world and all its beauty,” he says, “all true joy, everything that consoles, that feeds hope, or throws a ray of light along our dark paths, everything that makes us see across our poor lives a splendid goal and a boundless future, comes to us from people of simplicity, those who have made another object of their desires than the passing satisfaction of selfishness and vanity; and have understood that the art of living is to know how to give one’s life.”

    Keeping things simple, does not mean you have to repress, ignore or dismiss everything. Rather it implies that you should actively and hands-on, intelligently make use of all the expressive arts and skill in your arsenal through sincere, direct, and spontaneous effort.

    Put differently… if you keep it simple, it will in effect be exactly that SIMPLE!

    OPENNESS and HONESTY (sincerity)

    Are you being candid? If you are being true, real and keeping it simple, you will be open and candid. They are like flipsides of a coin.

    Mind, intention and character will all come together, synergized in and through, what and how you have to say and deliver something verbally!

    Intent, direction and goals… worded differently, having a clear aim and purpose…

    There has to be a reason and goal, purpose and motivation for something ‘oratory’ to be deemed successfully delivered!

    Where are your strengths? Find out and capitalize on them.

    Beecher (a well-known conversationalist) once said:

    “Let no man who is a sneak try to be an orator.”

    Being true and purposeful, deliberate and open is important. Deception and hidden agendas will NOT be acceptable.
    Being empathetic and understanding is critical as well.

    Feeling and the transforming power of deep affection is best described as quoted by Balzac, when he says of Père Goriot,

    “Père Goriot was stirred out of himself. Never till now had Eugene seen him thus lighted up by the passion of paternity. We may here remark on the infiltrating, transforming power of an over-mastering emotion. However coarse the fiber of the individual, let him be held by a strong and genuine affection, and he exhales, as it were, an essence which illuminates his features, inspires his gestures, and gives cadence to his voice.”
