Expression and voice Modulation.
If you are narrating a story of certain character for example a monkey, you should sound like one to make it realistic. Reflect the expressions of his mood on your face so that the one who is listening to you can relate to it.
Use of Props.
Simple narration can interest the listener depending upon story but to hold on to their interest take a cut out of the character ask your child to colour it and then use it. It will definitely help you. And yes of-course the same can be used for future.
Include music , song and rhymes.
Your character not only has a specific look but also the sound, usage of rhymes relating to a story will help you keep your child glued to it.
A great storyteller is the one who keeps his audience hooked to him from the rise of the curtain till they are dropped.
