Mastering Storytelling Fundamentals
Whether you’re telling a joke, telling a fairy tale, or trying to persuade someone with a little empirical evidence, telling a story well is an important skill. While it comes naturally to some, for others this skill is a learned one. Never fear. Just get started with the steps below.
1. Engage your audience.
Interact (互动) with your audience or do something to grab their attention. Ask them a question, even if it’s just rhetorical, that relates to the conclusion, twist, or context for the story you9re going to tell. Alternatively you can make a grabbing statement that catches their attention (setting your hook, the equivalent of a click-bait headline). This forces their attention to focus on the idea of your story and makes them want to hear more.
2. Build the scene.
Throughout your storytelling, you want to create an immersive experience. You want to tell your audience the story in a way that makes them feel like they’re there. Start by giving them context when you start your story. Continue to create the scene by using details which help them picture the action and feel the things you felt. You’ll also want to carefully tailor your language: use words which create very strong, very specific emotions.
3. Build tension and release tension.
Of course, the entire arc of a story should be building tension and releasing tension, until the climactic point in the story and the falling action of the conclusion. But what you need to remember is that a release of tension should come between the tension points. Without this release of tension, a story can feel rushed or too list-like. Real life includes moments between the things that happen to us. Stories should too. This release can be a description of the scene, and quick filling in of semi-relevant details, or a joke if the story is meant to be a bit funny.
4. Focus on what’s important.
When telling a story, it is important to include details, to create that sense of immersion. However, you don’t want the story to take on a “rambling” feel. This is why it’s very important to focus on what’s important. Cut the details that aren’t important for the story, leave the ones that make the story.
5. Keep the flow logical.
This is where knowing your story and practicing become important. You know that person that tells a story and they get partway in and then they’re like, “Oh, I forgot to mention…”？ Yeah, don’t be that guy. Don’t stop to back up. This breaks the listener’s experience of the story. Tell the story in a way that is logical and flows smoothly.
6. Make it feel conclusive.
It’s awkward when an audience isn’t sure if you’re done or not so make the conclusion of your story feel conclusive. There are a number of ways to do this, for example:
Ask a question and give an answer. “How crazy is that? I know I’m sure not going to try that again.”
