48: Directing the Speech with Chris Head

In this episode, I speak with UK-based comedy director -- Chris Head about storytelling, humor, adding contrast to your speech, and how the Jungian archetypes applying to performers. We also look behind the scenes of Caroline Goyder's hugely popular (like 9 million views popular) TEDx talk -- where Chris directed her -- to see how these ideas come to life on stage.
