The irony of a video about story telling and the editor cuts him off before it's finished.
lmao😂😂
As I said in my comment above. I think that was intentional. Leave the audience wanting more, or asking questions at least. Great video imo.
Lol
Should be fired
Lol
These are seven brilliant points mentioned by Josh Cambell in the talk:
1. Don't let the preparation get in the way of a good story
2. You need not be funny
3. Don't let someone with no name determine your story
4. Make peace with your story
5. Start at the beginning; End at the ending
6. Don't go into too many details
7. Don't offend anyone
8. All tese rules should be broken
@@istenaldja yeah bro. Rules are made to be broken
Everyone have story to tell ❤
@@JaniceBriolexactly but they feel hesitant to tell😮
I wasn't too sure of how I felt about this dude at first, but he blew my mind at the end.
Same
Thanks. I paused the video @3:20 to come to the comments. I'll continue ✌️
Same here
Spoiler: The video just cuts off mid-sentence at 8:34, before he finishes his presentation. @Stanley Dog...what did I miss? What was cut off at the end that you saw, and I didn't, that blew YOUR mind?
I believe storytelling to be more important than ever and that a well told story can act as an empathy engine!
the editor must be like "okay im done. i don't want hear anymore advise."
lol
It didn't end at the end.
That was the final key. So meta.
The rule should be broken as he said.
It got u reacting, bothered, acting up and feeling something. U got cliffhangered. It worked
They left the moral for us
I’ve been so enthralled by so many TEDTalks, it’s ironic that the guy talking about storytelling is the guy I can’t stay interested watching.
@@ProfessorShyguy 😮
Good
He said to avoid starting with a joke, because you lose the audience if the joke bombs. But he started this talk with a joke that bombed. 🤯
This is a really good way of thinking. Storytelling is a way of expressing a single moment, a series of events or feelings that came alive worthy of impacting others. I hope I can apply these in my storytelling CZcams channel too.
So the moral of this video is up for us to interpret the ending cause they cut it off lol
That helped me a lot... Didn't watch it.
😂 thanks il try find a full version
Most frustrating moment of my day haha
The key to a good story telling is not how to tell a good story, but how to avoid telling a bad story:
1. Be prepared but not too prepared.
2. You don’t have to be funny, because you are not.
3. Name names. If you can't use someone's name, they have power over your story. Don’t let someone with no name determine your story for you.
4. It is not a therapy session, then your audience won't be able to. It is not the audience' job to give you closure. You don’t want your audience to feel sympathy for you, you want them to feel empathy. If they feel sorry for you, they are thinking about you and your well being and not your story. Make peace with your story before you get on that stage.
5. Start from the beginning and end at the end. You have to trust your audience that they will get the lesson that you want them to get, or they will get the lesson they want to get. Don't rob them of that by telling the moral of the story.
6. The details are boring. Trust your audience. You are sharing human experiences and they will connect to you so skip the boring details.
7. The audience is on your side, keep them there. Don't make a controversial statement unless you have to. Don't offend you audience.
Most IMPORTANT key:
Sometimes details are important. Sometimes morals are necessary. Sometimes you have to offend your audience to make them listen. I can't tell you what your story is, and I can't tell you how to tell it. The only way you can do is with practice, go find a mic, get in front of an audience and find your voice. Be the hero of your own story, be the protagonist of your own story.
god bless you
Ahaha thank you
Thanks
thanks a lot
Thank you for this!!!
we don't need the end of it. Seven keys had been given, now find your own moral.
I love how a Storytelling TEDTalk video suddenly ended mid way
I really liked that twist ending. Seriously did not see that coming. Wish I had been watching the red bar at the bottom of the screen.
This is a great presentation. I would say that Good storytelling is a combination of various elements, but three key components contribute significantly to a compelling narrative: 1. Engaging Characters, 2. Strong Plot Structure and 3. Compelling Theme and Message. You must pay attention to them if you want to create a good story.
The abrupt ending was good 😂😂😂😂
Awesome speech, love the list with the unexpected twist!
Voice
Expressive
------------
Be a Little prepared,Not to much
Be funny
No therapy ,have Peace with your story before
Start at the start,end
Skip details
-----
Practise and do what you want
😂
Great way to end the story. Always leave them wanting more. I'm thinking about starting a channel to document my life. So my kids and grandkids can know who I am.
Brilliant, I learned so much. It's the beginning that's so hard! Thank you.
You have any tips for the beginning?

- [00:15] 🎤 Storytelling is an essential skill in various aspects of life, including professional presentations, social events, and personal anecdotes.
- [02:25] 📝 Seven keys to good storytelling: Be prepared but not over-prepared, don't rely too heavily on humor, use names to add power to your story, make peace with your story before sharing it, start at the beginning and end at the end, avoid unnecessary details, trust your audience, and sometimes challenge them.
- [08:02] 🔑 The most important key to storytelling is finding your own voice and practicing storytelling regularly to become the hero of your own story.
All these rules should be BROKEN.
To be honest, this was a great ted talk . I don’t know why many people found him boring :(
Everyone brains is different , but I found this monotone and dull . Too much meta communication, there is no feeling. Compare this to Tony Robbins and I do think this was weak
@@DonGivani understandable👍
I found it amazing as well! I think you gotta be pretty intrigued to be interested
nice cliffhanger.
I am Rosmina Zuchri from Indonesia Country. yes, I will watch and listen to your youtube. hope I to be the storyteller. thanks
Epic!
Good job
The IRONY
If you know what i mean
Not interested in dating in my 20 👀 so I want to brush up on my story telling skills for my 30ss
Josh Talks on Ted Talks🔥🤣
So when's the full version coming out?
Jesus loves all ❤
I'd take the end of this video as the "broken rules" mentioned in the video itself. Let me alone extract the moral story of this story then, damn.
Cool! ty
So basically follow these seven very broad conventions but sometimes don't... Very helpful
I want to have a full 5 minute's talk with the editor cutting the video .....
Every story has a beginning and an en...
Dang. Joseph Campbell was one of the greatest storytellers in recent history, I wonder if this guy is related to him?
Joseph Campbell died without any children.
@@sm_tv6415 gotcha.
That's unfortunate. He would have had a lot to pass on
I do believe that the man has arrogance in him but that is simply something every man should have. Let me use an example to help explain. If you have something you believe in that you now is true by the facts and experience are you going to let some stranger from no where tell you your wrong. I think he is a great writer because he had the audience's attention. I know the video might have been boring for some of you but if that is the case it just means that this video wasn't for you. Everyone has there faults.
end ?
You can change the names of the people in the story, there’s no stigma around that!
What does “make peace with your story” mean?
I don’t understand, like don’t talk too much? What “don’t treat it like therapy”? Don’t trauma dump??
Can someone please tell me how to do this?
I think it's kinda like... If ur still worried/trying to find ur "solution" of the story then don't present it to people bc they will just start feeling your worry kinda thing... But if you are like "yeah this is what's going on and its making me feel a certain way" but with like confidence of knowing you are still managing okay that will allow the other person to experience your story without feeling like they need to help? Bc I think if someone feels like they need to help then they're spending time in their own mind finding solutions rather than taking the time to simply just understand yours (?) :) Hope I kinda helped!!??
He caught my point 01:16 😂 😄
Love the shots of the audience not paying any attention to his story.
Man.. just right when i started to enjoy the topic they cut it off bruh😤😤😂😂
That was an abrupt ending. I remember seeing a cartoon called Freakazoid and when someone mentioned candlejack they dissap
Damn why do I feel so much anxiety watching this. Ok at the end, it says to break all the rules, makes me feel less anxious.
Great
Assignment 2022
He was nervous and boring. But it did help demonstrate how to tell a bad story, so thanks
Does anyone know why this was cut off?
Because protagonist was killed within 8:34 of the story

Good
On second thought in my opinion that is great 😅❤️
"If you are living your best life, (which I know you are because I have seen your instagrams)"
XD lmao, how did that not get a good laugh? Maybe all of the instalosers took that personally....
it was cut like this cos they trust us that we get it
after the first minute, while the camera is showing the audience, you can see that they really don't wanna be there.
I just wanted some first date tips...
Where's the end..?

Does the author of the hero of a thousand face Joseph Campbell his father ?
Lol. I've same question here.
A story of a venezuelan Immigrant in Colombia...l wonder when l will tell it to the World..in TED
1:11
😊
Looks like someone forgot to be the hero of their story and ending the story before finishing the story
How do you know you are getting lesson from the professional?
They are teaching you storytelling without a story but points and notes.
"...be the protagonis-"
Please fix this!
i cant stop laughting
Yall gotta be puttin in work to get what he saying
Why they are laughing who is Josh? I don't get that point.
How arrogant a man is to said a quote at 3:10 hahaaha
Its called sarcasm
At the end I still don't know how to make good stories
1:20 mfs r bored
Lake soo
What is the moral of the story!!
WHERE ARE THE BODIES? JOHN WAYNE GACY?
Good information, but man this guy's voice is boring. He must have been super nervous.
Ok
Movie with proper ideas.
Um... ur storytelling tech is not up to par... um... as a esl speaker i do know something about storytelling in both chinese and english, u hv to be funny, and as politicians, u hv to make ur audience feel sorry for u when u did something wrong
'professional storyteller'?
the irony is this guy isn't particularly engaging to listen to
From watching two great talks about storytelling, coming to this was a little bit of a let down. His enunciation feels engineered and lulls / drags you.
Muggle, what are those two great talks you talk about?
Same here, i watched how stand up comedians talk for a month and just happened to came across this.... all he said is 100% false like, dont hv to be funny, no controversial points, no motto of the story.... all of these are false
He is scary
Lol!!!
Despite the comments about the twist, I couldn't finish the video. It was one of the worst speeches I've ever seen. It's suffocating.
