Orvel Ray Wilson, CSP

Elevating the Audience Experience
Great storytelling isn’t simply about having a compelling story—it’s about knowing how to bring that story to life for an audience. Join NSA legend and Guerrilla Selling co-author Orvel Ray Wilson for a practical, highly interactive exploration of the craft behind memorable storytelling.

You’ll discover simple ways to structure your message, recognize powerful stories hiding in your everyday experiences, and—most importantly—learn the performance techniques that transform a story from something an audience merely hears into something they experience with you. 

Drawing on decades of professional speaking and stagecraft, Orvel will reveal how intentional choices involving voice, character, movement, stage position, sensory detail, timing, breath, and physicality can dramatically change how a story lands. Whether you’rerefining a keynote, workshop, training, or your next great story, you’ll leave with practical techniques you can immediately put to work to elevate the audience experience.
