People like to socialize a lot, but more than that they love to tell their own incidences to others which maybe true, or combined with some silly lies...or in other words Storytelling. Since ages people have been sharing stories in every part of the world as means of knowledge spreading, entertainment, to inculcate moral and cultural values, etc in their own way. In earlier days, when writing was not prominent, people used oral communication and by drawing pictures in woods or walls and sharing stories to express their views or feelings. Now that the world is modernized and new technology is being used, storytelling has become more interactive and creative.
Storytelling is an art in itself. It takes a lot of expressions, creativity, maturity and also immaturity to a great extent...Sometimes a child-like thinking makes the story so innocent and close to reality that it catches the listener's attention.
Narrating a story has a lot of power..we can easily make people understand exactly what we want to say through a simple live or self-made example. It made me realize that day when few years ago, I remember, I was very tired so I decided to sleep early say around 9.30pm. But by chance I decided to listen to some random songs in the radio before I sleep... I randomly tuned into Big92.7fm where a very soft calm voice of a man was saying something and in few minutes an old song was played just after he finished a part of that narration. It took my attention... It was a show "Yaad Sheher with Neelesh Misra", wherein this man, Neelesh used to narrate a story in such a beautiful way and connected to that was a song to enhance the particular situation running in the story... For example, there was a scene in the story where a guy was dreaming...and suddenly the song 'O hansini' was being played... Oh my God..!, it took my breath away... I mean such a thing can also be done... Again few days later, there was a narration of separation of a brother and sister...and then the song 'ek hazaaro me meri behna hai' was played...really enchanting... and believe me I almost regularly listen to it now...
Even there are different styles of telling a story for different ages, this attracts the people whom you want should listen to, this brings a boost to the script and to everybody. The listeners enjoy it and the speaker enjoys that people are interested to know, 'What's Next'? You can make people happy, or cry, or whine, or scared... Isn't it a beautiful art. It can be narrated by any person be it a child, adults or old-aged! Also when you see people are not taking interest you can suddenly change the climax and take it to an altogether different road..hehe..
That is the magic...how to get people like you and your style. Storytelling is not an easy task, but it is one way of improving your skills on each aspect because for telling stories you should know a lot about anything and everything :)
