I’ve always been bad at telling stories.
Listeners would more likely fall asleep in sync than have their hearts racing.
HN have any tips, tricks, books or blogs to help with story telling skills?
- conductr 5y agoI’m bad as well. But if I were to set out to improve, I’d just listen to more deliberate storytelling. Then practice, write, edit, tell, and tell again. The craft of stand up comedy has always interested me and you can find some nuggets by listening to popular comedians talk about how they develop a skit or entire performance.
- corobo 5y agoCircle around a punchline until you're done with your story or the audience is bored It doesn't matter if you were boring or not if you end on a laugh, people remember the laugh You're also allowed to write and rehearse your stories in advance :)
