Story telling is a very effective way to get your point across. Here's how you make a story dynamic.
First of all, know the purpose of the story. What is the point you want to get across? You should direct the story telling to make sure your point will be obvious.
Make a situation. Illustrate the scene through your words so that your audience can see it in their minds. When was this, and where was it? What were the happenings?
Let your audience know who was involved. Help your audience to picture the important characters through detailed descriptions. Describe your characters' personalities, their quirks, and their relationships. You can use different voices and gestures for each one.
Start the journey. What is the direction of the story? What are the challenges that need to be faced?
Meet the obstacle. To avoid boredom something must happen to get in your way and make it interesting. This could be in the form of a person, a challenge, a belief or some other thing. Exaggeration will add humour.
Defeat the challenges. What should be done to triumph over the obstacle? Do you have it in you to overthrow the obstacle? Did someone come to assist you? A champion, perhaps? Or was it you? Precision is the key. Divide your solution into a number of steps. This is where the teaching happens.
Resolve the story. How the story end? Tie up the loose ends-what happened to the other people? To your hero?
Make the point. It's better to have just one point in a story. Write out and memorize the point, work on the words to make it simple and easy to remember. Look for a catchy phrase.
Ask the question. Have them relate to your story. "Have you ever been in the same situation? Turn the main point into a question. Get them reacting to you and your story!
You should never stop practicing. Find people who will listen when you tell your story. You should get their feedbacks, try to improve, and do your story again. This will only make you better.
Keep in mind that your next story will always be better than the last!
