You do not need to be in a classroom to find your voice. My online workshops bring the same energy and connection of my Kathalaya center directly to your screen, wherever you are in the world.

On popular demand, I have restarted my online certificate course. This video gives you a glimpse of how I bring the energy of my in-person workshops to the virtual platform, with body movements and personal interaction.

A screenshot from our World Storytelling Day online event. My certified tellers and I used puppets and expressive performance to keep a global audience of young and old hooked to our story marathon.

I was honored to be the keynote speaker for the KTGlobal Virtual Story Conference. It's wonderful to connect with a global community of educators and storytellers to discuss diversity and inclusion.

About Online Courses & Events

I do not believe in pre-recorded lectures, so every online session I facilitate is live. You get the same energy and interaction as my in-person classes, with breakout rooms and real-time feedback on your voice modulation, gestures, and storytelling rhythm. It is about learning to communicate with presence, even through a screen.

My Approach to Virtual Storytelling

Learning to tell a story is not about memorizing a script. In my online workshops, we strip away the distance of the digital medium to focus on the core elements: your voice, your body, and your connection to the listener.

What the Foundation Course Covers

My Level 1 Online Foundation Course is a 3-day journey designed to be as hands-on as possible. We cover:

  • The Voice Toolkit: Exercises for pitch, pause, pace, and vowel clarity. You will learn to use your voice as an instrument, not just a tool for talking.
  • Physicality: How to use gestures and facial expressions to convey emotion, even when your audience is on the other side of a monitor.
  • Narrative Structure: How to build a story that hooks an audience from the first sentence.

Why Join Online?

I have trained over 98,000 people globally, and the digital medium has allowed me to reach storytellers in places I could never visit in person. My courses are interactive—we use Zoom breakout rooms for peer practice, and I provide personal feedback to every participant. By the end of the 3 days, you walk away with an internationally recognized certificate and the practical ability to share stories that stick.

If you are looking to become a professional, this Level 1 course is the prerequisite for my deeper, 6-month mentorship and professional diploma programs. Whether you are a teacher looking to engage a classroom or a professional wanting to share your experiences, I invite you to join our circle.

I have spent 45 years perfecting the art of the tale, and I bring that same dedication to every Zoom screen. My goal is not just to teach you a script, but to help you unlock the storyteller that has been waiting inside you all along.
