### Grammatical person (2:45)

Point of view: First person vs Third person.

There is no right way/wrong way to describe your character's actions using first person/third person. But each creates a different effect: I draw my sword/He draws his sword/Kriger draws his sword.

### Internal action vs external action (5:50)

In order to show, instead of telling.

Manifest the internal emotion using an external action.

### Make strong emotional choices and express them (10:34)

Backstories and internal monologues mean nothing if they are not expressed. (Also see point #2 [here](https://dwarves.podiant.co/e/35dc2e1458f9c0/))

### Relate to the world around (15:22)

Objects, colours, people in the scene.

Don’t worry about mistakes, if the GM need to correct any mistakes she will do so.

### Address other characters (16:55)

Your character is not alone, use other PCs in your actions.

### Use the lore (19:13)

The lore is everything we know about the world. Create and use idioms, fables, metaphors. Invent on the spot or write a few beforehand.

### Build on your established history (22:08)

### Use several senses (24:08)

### Have a specific voice for your character (25:43)

You can use inner voice as well.

### Think before you speak (28:45)

Think about what your character wants to say/do beforehand so you’ll get an uninterrupted flow.

### Interject with some flavour when the spotlight is elsewhere (30:40)
