How To Tell The Funniest Stories To An Audience

By Paulette Short


If you have a tale you find makes you laugh out loud and you want to share that tale with others, think about the storyline as well as the content of your tale and consider how you might share that story with other people. While you might think the story is undoubtedly one of the funniest stories you have ever come across before, to try to ensure as many people as possible get the same thrill out of it, you should give your story some consideration before beginning to tell it to other people.

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.

Change the tone of your voice frequently throughout the narration according to what is happening in the tale that is being told. Keeping your audience guessing by changing your tone can make the funny parts of the tale even more thrilling for an audience when they are unaware of what is to come.

While it is important to change the tone of your voice, it is also important that the entire room can hear you clearly. Make sure when you are speaking to your audience that your voice is loud and clear enough that everyone can hear what is being said throughout your story. If you do not make it easy for everyone to hear you speaking, they may not fully understand the story being told and therefore, not understand why it is intended to be amusing.

Try not to rush when you are telling your audience your story, this will give your crowd the change to absorb the story. Some storytellers practice when and where they might add a pause in their tale to allow for the audience to build up excitement in the most important moments of the narration. While adding pauses can help and is really quite important, you do not want to add too many as this may shorten attention span for some listeners.

Practicing your story before you tell it can be helpful. The more time you spend practicing how you will present your story, the more likely it will be a success in sharing your story and getting the outcome you want.

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.

Some people are easily amused but, for others it takes a lot to make them to smile or laugh. To ensure that you are offering your audience one of the funniest stories, take your time and practice as much as you need until you feel confident that you can convey your story the way you want it to sound to others.
