From Stand-Up to Standout
How to punch up your presentations with the use of appropriate humor.
|
You don't have to be a comedian to put humor in your speeches and presenations. All you need is the willingness to see and appreciate humor in everyday life. The difference between doing stand-up comedy and speaking is that in comedy you use humor to get the laugh, in speaking you use humor to get the audience.
Humor can be used to keep the audience interested, to entertain, and to make a point. Laughter also creates a bond between the speakier and the audience. Giving your audience a reason to laugh is your gift to them, and their laughter is their gift back to you.
This Website will help you learn where to find humor, how to construct a joke, delivery, timing, and other tips on how humor can add punch to your presentations.
"One of the most important attributes of humor is its ability to influence thinking and attitudes." Bob Orben - Speaker's Handbook of Humor | |
