Editing Coordinating Pause (section)

===Narrative===

As the Coordinator leads the Players through the important events in the story, as well as playing the role of all the characters that do not belong to the Players, it is important that the Coordinator can present the story in a compelling manner.

Description is key here. Whether it is detailing a new setting, explaining new ideas, or introducing new characters to the Players, the description should be eloquent and detailed enough to give the characters a sense of what is being described. However, there is a point where the description becomes overkill and thus loses the interest of the Players. Keep it explanatory, but succinct, effective and to the point.

Speech skills are also important. Even if the Coordinator isn't gifted in altering his or her voice for each character played, he or she can employ inflections in the voice, as well as use hand and arm motions to emphasize what the Coordinator's character would want to convey to the Players' characters. If everyone the characters encounter in the story talk in the same tone, the same inflections, the same emphases, the Players will likely lose interest very quickly.
