I take the same path as well put sadly, there are some who still do not understand the value of what we do, nor the experience and work we bring to the table, or the auditorium. :) <br /><br />I love the image of the janitor. I am not surprised. In December I did a holiday show at a mall with Santa. (I know, I know, but it actually went well) At one point I saw the salesman from Best Buy standing outside the store lisening to the stories. A wonderful nod to the power of story. :)<br /> <br />Thanks for stopping by and taking the time to share your wisdom.Karen Chacehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12419511205674143737noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4089606950704876439.post-46112048564216720592014-01-21T10:19:44.761-05:002014-01-21T10:19:44.761-05:00Thank you for your kind words Dick.

I am pleased you found the post useful and more importantly, that you were having a conversation about the very same thing. <br /><br />Sadly, I doubt there will ever be a time when artists don't have to gently teach some potential clients why we charge for our work. It is an ongoing struggle. <br /><br />Please feel free to share the link to this post on your website and with your clients. <br /><br />Karen<br />Karen Chacehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12419511205674143737noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4089606950704876439.post-75940520643067030272014-01-21T08:28:12.623-05:002014-01-21T08:28:12.623-05:00Karen Chace,you speak the truth.

"Ah, the perfect age for participatory tales", I explain. "How much do you charge?" "Are you looking for a specific theme or are folk tales OK?" I keep asking them questions, showing them the value of what I do. By the time I get around to telling them my fee they are sold on the program. If I would have just gave them the number they were looking for the first time they asked I think half of them would not listen any more past that. When I tell my stories ALL the folks are listening, kids, adults and sometimes even a janitor in the door way.

When I first started story...Yes- Thank you Karen! <br />When I first started storytelling I volunteered to get practice- then I had to pick a day to make the transition to paid performances. <br />Every few weeks I get an inquiry through my website of someone asking me to volunteer. I had to learn to be firm. <br />We artists need to value our time. Otherwise it is not respected. <br />Thanks for supporting fellow artists with your thoughts.Vitahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16939387179473684978noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4089606950704876439.post-20986728800585449022011-09-30T21:01:38.000-04:002011-09-30T21:01:38.000-04:00Thank you Georgie and LA for taking the time to co...Thank you Georgie and LA for taking the time to comment.
