Because they always carry a lesson. The author tells the story to point us in a certain direction through the plot, helping to improve or ease our situation in life. And if we tell a story by heart, it also develops the storyteller\u2019s imagination,\u201d says actor Istv\u00e1n Mik\u00f3, who has lent his voice to numerous fairy-tale and animated characters over recent decades. His most iconic dubbing role was Winnie-the-Pooh, but audiences have also heard him as the Chief Worm in The Great Ho-ho-ho Fisherman<\/em>, Lazy Dick in Cat City<\/em>, and the Genie in Aladdin<\/em>.<\/p><\/p>\n\n Istv\u00e1n Mik\u00f3 now shares his experience in bringing story heroes to life as part of Libri Bookstores\u2019 newly launched Storytelling Academy, aimed at anyone curious about the secrets of reading stories aloud and storytelling from memory.
