You can’t need to look. Or else it’s a lie, which is like giving the audience a pinch of poison. When you tell a story, you have to take liberties. You compress time. You create composite characters. You jump years ahead or flash back. Art is not life. But if your character has a longtime girlfriend and you’re tentative or formal with her, touching her as if she’s someone you just met? Another pinch. The audience might not be consciously aware of these little pinches, but if you keep doling them out, they’re reaching for the remote, or they’re walking out of the theater. They’re sick of the poison. They don’t want any more. They’re done. They might not even realize they’re responding to inauthenticity or sloppiness in storytelling. It’s not the audience’s job to articulate the reasons. It’s their job to feel.”", "creator": { "@type": "Person", "name": "Bryan Cranston" }, "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/bryan-cranston/i-knew-that-on-camera-when-you-walk-into-a-room-in-your-own-home-you/", "image": { "@type": "ImageObject", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/fb6/bryan-cranston-2660_storytelling-audienc_i-knew-that-on-camera-when-you-walk-into_1501928.jpg", "contentUrl": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/fb6/bryan-cranston-2660_storytelling-audienc_i-knew-that-on-camera-when-you-walk-into_1501928.jpg", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/fb6/bryan-cranston-2660_storytelling-audienc_i-knew-that-on-camera-when-you-walk-into_1501928.jpg", "width": 1080, "height": 1080, "caption": "“I knew that, on camera, when you walk into a room in your own home, you must know where the light switch is…” — Bryan Cranston", "creditText": "SMS4Smile Quotes", "creator": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/#organization" } } } }, { "@type": "ListItem", "position": 3, "item": { "@type": "Quotation", "text": "Be honest in your storytelling for if you're not your audience will know.", "creator": { "@type": "Person", "name": "Rosa-Lee Beckwith-Powell" }, "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/rosa-lee-beckwith-powell/be-honest-in-your-storytelling-for-if-you-re-not-your-audience-will/", "image": { "@type": "ImageObject", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/cd7/rosa-lee-beckwith-powell-29003_audience_be-honest-in-your-storytelling-for-if-yo_2588498.jpg", "contentUrl": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/cd7/rosa-lee-beckwith-powell-29003_audience_be-honest-in-your-storytelling-for-if-yo_2588498.jpg", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/cd7/rosa-lee-beckwith-powell-29003_audience_be-honest-in-your-storytelling-for-if-yo_2588498.jpg", "width": 1080, "height": 1080, "caption": "“Be honest in your storytelling for if you're not your audience will know.” — Rosa-Lee Beckwith-Powell", "creditText": "SMS4Smile Quotes", "creator": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/#organization" } } } } ] }, { "@type": "CollectionPage", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/about/storytelling-audience/#webpage", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/about/storytelling-audience/", "name": "Storytelling Audience Quotes", "isPartOf": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/#website" }, "mainEntity": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/about/storytelling-audience/#itemlist" }, "primaryImageOfPage": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/6aa/andrew-stanton-12647_audience_in-storytelling-the-audience-actually-wa_634274.png" }, "description": "Browse 3 Storytelling Audience quotes by 3 authors.
