How To Share The Funniest Stories With Other People

By Paulette Short


If you have a story that you find funny and you want to share the tale with others, think carefully about both the content and the storyline as well as how you might present it to other people. While you may find the story keeps you laughing and you may think it is one of the absolute funniest stories you have ever heard, to ensure that other people get the same pleasure out of the story, you should give the story some thought before you begin telling it to others.

Considering your facial expressions as well as the tone you use when speaking is important when telling a story. You will want to be sure that you're not giving up more information than you should be too fast through the tone of the voice and the body language or you may find that the crowd that you are speaking too may figure out the tale before its end thus, spoiling the ending for them.

Changing the sound of your voice often according to what is happening during the narration is important. Keeping your audience members guessing by changing your tone can make the narration more thrilling and funny when they cannot guess what is coming next.

Along with the importance of tone, it is also very important that you speak at a level that everyone in the crowd is able to hear you well. Regardless of crowd size, everyone in the room should be able to listen to the tale clearly. If everyone is unable to hear what you are saying during the narration they may not understand the full meaning of the story or why it is meant to be funny.

Take your time when you are telling a story, this will allow the people who are listening to your tale to absorb the words you are telling them. Some people will practice adding pauses in their story to allow the climax to build for their audience. While adding pauses throughout your tale can help, do not pause too often or you may lessen the attention span of some of your audience members.

While it might sound a bit silly to practice how to tell a story to an audience, it can actually be very helpful. The more you practice how to present yourself to an audience, the more likely you are going to succeed in getting your words across the way you intend them.

Ask people you know to help you practice by being an audience for you. You will be able to judge how your practice audience feels about how you're presenting your tale by how they react to what they hear. You may even want to ask them how they feel about your story telling skills.

While some folks will be easy to please, others may be a bit more challenging. To offer your audience the funniest stories you possibly can, practice until you feel you are confident enough to relay the narration the way you want it to be understood.
