如何提升我的讲故事能力？
How do I improve my storytelling?
导读
这是一则问答帖：一位读者想知道如何提升自己讲故事的能力。回帖者给出的答案相当一致——讲故事是一门可以拆解、可以训练的技术，靠反复练习、观摩高手和不断打磨同一个故事来进步，而不是靠天赋。对写作者来说，这些建议同样适用于书面叙事：先练基本功，再谈风格。
可以直接用的写作要点
- 01
把讲故事当成技术活来学：结构、节奏、包袱位置都可以拆解模仿，而不是等灵感降临。
- 02
同一个故事要反复讲、反复改，改到滚瓜烂熟，听众才会觉得你讲得像第一次讲那样自然新鲜。
- 03
多去现场听高手讲故事（讲故事节、演讲、脱口秀），观察他们怎么控制节奏和现场。
- 04
守住三条底线：尊重听众、尊重故事本身，同时允许自己真实的性格进入叙述。

讲故事是可训练的技艺，参加演讲训练班能系统性地补技巧。
我远算不上讲故事高手，但加入 Toastmasters 是我这辈子做过最好的事（后悔加入得太晚，每次想起来都想抽自己）。Toastmasters 和许多教沟通、演讲的项目一样，本质上是研究技巧，而讲故事要想吸引人、有效果，需要大量技巧。如果 Toastmasters 能帮到我这种口吃、内向、长期自卑的人，那它对你更不在话下。

While I am nowhere near being a master story teller, I found joining Toastmasters to be the best thing I have done in my life (wondering why I left it so late, leaves me slapping my self each time). Toastmasters (like many other programs that teach communication/presentation skills) is ultimately a study of technique and story telling needs truck loads of it to be engaging and effective. If TM can help a stuttering introvert with chronic low self-esteem like myself, imagine what it can do for you!
观摩职业讲故事人是高效学习法，核心原则是尊重听众、尊重故事、投入自我。
我还想补充：非常值得去看职业讲故事人的现场，尤其是本地有讲故事节的话。这些人常讲传统民间故事和个人故事，有时也讲纯编造的怪东西。它不是喜剧，但常常好笑；不是戏剧，但常常有戏剧张力。你可能和两千人一起坐在帐篷里，却感觉像刚和一位老朋友聊了一场天。达到那种水平需要大量智慧、练习和舞台功夫，但基本要素其实简单而一致：尊重听众，尊重故事，并让你自己的一部分性格流露出来。

I would add that it is really worth seeing professional storytellers, especially if there is a storytelling festival in your area. These are often people who tell both traditional folk tales and personal stories, and sometimes just crazy invented stuff. It's not comedy but it's often funny, and it's not theatre but it's often dramatic. You can be in a tent with 2000 people and feel like you just had a great conversation with an old friend. There is a ton of wisdom, practice, and stagecraft involved in getting to that level, but at the same time the fundamentals are simple and consistent: Respect the audience, respect the story, and let some of your own personality in.
一切建议都只有在大量反复练习中才成立。
练习，练习，练习。世界上最好的建议也只有放在练习里才生效，练习让建议变得有意义。练完再练，然后再练。获取反馈、寻求指点、不断迭代，但一定要练。你说得出哪个表演艺术家练得不比多数人多吗？就算你说得出一个，我能说出上百个练得多的。练习，练习，练习。找到可以一起练的听众，和他们练；在那之前就自己练，哪怕对着墙练，用镜子或摄像机。你练得越多，能找到的听众就越多。然后继续练。

Practice, practice, practice. The best advice in the world only works in the context of practice. Practicing makes advice meaningful. Practice and then practice more. Then practice more. Get feedback. Seek advice. Iterate. But practice. Name anyone who mastered a performance art who didn't practice more than most. Even if you can, I can name a hundred who did. Practice, practice, practice. Find audiences you can practice with and practice with them. Until then, practice by yourself, in front of a wall if that's what you have. Use a mirror or a camera. Practice. The more you practice, the more audiences you'll find. Then practice more.
高手的“自然”来自反复讲同一个故事，熟练到像初次讲述。
我们有个错觉：厉害的故事高手第一次讲就那么好，不用练习。去和会讲故事的人待一段时间，你会发现同一个故事他反复讲。讲得越多，越像是第一次讲。我看过很多 Seth Godin 的视频，连笑话都一模一样，但每次观众都像头一回听到。所以，练。

One illusion we have is that a great storyteller is great the first time with no practice or anything. Hangout with someone who tells good stories and you will hear the same story come back often. The more they tell it, the more it sounds like it is the very first time they tell it. I watched a lot of videos from Seth Godin, even the jokes are the exact same, but everytime the audience is hearing it for the first time. So yeah. Practice. Edit: typo
