Make a Story You're Telling More Interesting
When you want to make a story more interesting when you tell someone is like your a teacher, reading a folk tale to your class. Your expressions spill out and you start thinking about "How would I tell more of this?". Well in this case, you will need to know how to control your expressions and your mistakes and find the right tone of voice to keep yourself going. Try working with kids and practice now and then. You will become better if you try!
Steps
- Start by picking out a story (e.g. "Little Red Riding Hood".)
- Read it before you read out loud to the audience. This will help you make up a funny voice for the characters, for example, Little Red Riding Hood might sound like a girl with a high-pitched voice.
- When you're ready, you can make an introduction to the audience about what your reading, for example, you can make up an introduction for what is about to happen.
- Let the audience sit in a comfortable place, plus you.
- During your read out loud, you can change the word in the sentence that may sound too boring, or too hard for the audience. For example, they may be very young.
- Think about adding actions to the story. This will make your audience jump with emotions!
Tips
- Don't be too nervous!! Your voice may shake or crack and the audience won't understand what you are saying!
- Don't pause too long on paragraphs and sentences. You will be wasting your time pausing and going and you will disrupt the natural fluency of the story. The audience may fidget and make noises if you're too slow with vocabulary!
- Don't read too fast! !
Warnings
- Never stop and go to sleep in the middle of the story.
Things You'll Need
