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.

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 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.

Asking family and friends to listen to your story while you are practicing can be a great help. You can judge the reaction of your audience through their expressions as you relay your story. You may want to ask your family and friends for their opinion on how they felt the tale came across.

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.
