If you have a story that you find funny and you want to share the tale with others, think carefully about both the content and the storyline as well as how you might present it to other people. While you may find the story keeps you laughing and you may think it is one of the absolute funniest stories you have ever heard, to ensure that other people get the same pleasure out of the story, you should give the story some thought before you begin telling it to others.

Considering your facial expressions as well as the tone you use when speaking is important when telling a story. You will want to be sure that you're not giving up more information than you should be too fast through the tone of the voice and the body language or you may find that the crowd that you are speaking too may figure out the tale before its end thus, spoiling the ending for them.

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.

Ask people you know to help you practice by being an audience for you. You will be able to judge how your practice audience feels about how you're presenting your tale by how they react to what they hear. You may even want to ask them how they feel about your story telling skills.

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.
