ABSTRACT

Memorize the dialogue and the action in each panel . It is not good to stand and read dialogue off the small cards that are pinned under the panels. It’s even worse if you forget it completely and freeze up or “die” in the middle of your pitch. Say the same dialogue that you have on the boards. Use one sentence to describe the action in each panel . If your panel shows Sherlock Holmes bursting through Watson’s bedroom doorway, it’s enough to state, “Holmes bursts the door open-Wham! Pit-pat-pit-pat,” and let the drawing do the rest.
