How To Share The Funniest Stories With Other People

By Paulette Short


If you have a story to tell that makes you laugh and you would like to share it with other people, think about the story line, the content and how you would present the story to others. While you might think that your tale is one of the funniest stories ever told in order to ensure others get the same pleasure out of it, you should give it some thought beforehand.

When you begin telling your story to your audience, always think about the tone of voice and your facial expressions. You want to make sure that you do not give away to much information too quickly through body language or the story may be spoiled for some of your guests before you get to the end.

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.

Practicing your tale before you tell it to your audience can be a big help. The more time you take preparing, the more likely it'll turn out to be the success that you planned.

Consider asking people you know to be a audience for you will you hone in on your storytelling skills. You will be able to judge how your audience feels based on their reactions to the story you are telling them. Inviting your practice audience to share their thoughts on your presentation can also be invaluable.

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.
