Narrative storytelling in ASL requires understanding and using actors and audience members in order to effectively communicate the story. Multiple language groups must be taken into account when telling a story in ASL, as the storyteller must be able to convey the same message to all members of the audience. Timing and descriptive detail are also important, as the storyteller must be able to convey the story in a way that is both engaging and understandable. Finally, written script structures must be used in order to ensure that the story is told in a logical and organized manner.
