  • I took LeVar Burton's Masterclass on the power of storytelling! This is fascinating because it doesn't just pertain to writing, but storytelling in all of its forms like acting, directing, reading, and the list goes on! LeVar Burton is a 12 time Emmy award winner and has received a Peabody award. He is host of the Reading Rainbow and is known for his roles in Roots and Star Trek: The Next Generation. Hope you enjoy this masterclass review!

    I love the idea of 'being in your imagination' and letting that drive the process. It's comforting to know that when you are dealing with the difficulties of writing, that if you pause and listen to your imagination the answers and solutions will come. The voice is always there if we listen. Love that!

    I would love to hear more from authors who do more than just write. Obviously there's nothing wrong with "just" being a writer, but as someone who came from an acting/directing background, it adds a different perspective on story telling as a whole. And I imagine the same is true for other types of artists as well.

      Agree 💯 "one must become a work of art or produce a work of art, all else is folly". Oscar Wilde. We tend to compartmentalise things, to our discredit.
      What is an "artist?"
      A Writer?"
      A human-being?
      What is life?

This masterclass seems like one I would very much be interested in! I feel inspired already. Thanks again Sara!

    Good morning, Sara! I remember watching LeVar on his show, 'Reading Rainbow' when I was younger and liked the stories that were told. He really is a great storyteller among others. Actually Sara, a lot of people don't read books per say, but everybody reads in different ways because for me it has to be a great story or I get bored quick, then never read it again. But I do agree with him and the advice he gives, especially what he says at the end of this video. Anyway, have a wonderful day and think positive.

    I'm surprise you're not yet sponsored by Masterclass.
    When the company was first started, I saw some small TH-camrs who promoted Masterclass so they got classes for free and probably a percentage if the link was clicked. But that was when their writing course was only James Patterson.

    Plenty of fascinating insights from this Masterclass. The value of reading aloud spoke to me (pun not intended), as I have read quite a bit about Jane Austen's writing process and she relied on reading segments of her novels to family and friends. I also respect his advice on loving the process, rather than chasing gratification. Excellent advice, thanks for sharing.

    When it was offered by Masterclass, it struck me as a massive stretch for LeVar Burton to have a Masterclass (which I have yet to take), as a master of story, as I only knew of him as the Geordie LaForge character from Star Trek TNG :-) Now that I know he is an accomplished director, and so forth, as per his Shuttlepod appearance, etc. it looks a lot more credible :-)

    One other quick question and it's a purely technical one about TH-cam. When you show this much content of LaVar Burton's Masterclass does TH-cam's copywrite claim go into effect and if so are you not able to monetize this video?

    • @SaraLubratt
      @SaraLubratt  2 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Great question. I haven't had a masterclass video flagged for copyright yet (or any video for that matter), there's a law that you can use footage as long as there is a commentary or something that adds to it and isn't just stealing it. I used less than a 10th of the class in this video, so I don't see it being a problem, but if it does get copyrighted, Masterclass will make the Adsense money off of this video
