The audience laughs

The audience laughs more easily.
When people are induced to listen closely because of how something is said they automatically absorb what is said more easily. It is vital that the speaker use every available device to insure that listeners understand each word. When clear comedic thoughts are expertly communicated, the audience will respond. Good delivery paves the way to laughter.
Competency is conveyed.
The audience senses that the speaker knows what he or she is doing. Self-assurance is perceived and the humorist gains respect. People willingly dismiss whatever reservations or doubts they might have had. They feel safe and comfortable. The presenter becomes their leader, their guide, their guru, a person they can admire. An audience will eagerly and anxiously surrender its emotions to someone they trust. A strong, dynamic style captivates an audience. It conveys confidence and believability. But most of all, good delivery makes a statement: I am competent, skilled and gifted. Of course, you just don’t wake up one morning having automatically acquired a good delivery. It doesn’t happen overnight. It takes years of concentrated effort and continuous rehearsal. However, there is a way to speed up the process by learning and practicing four basic techniques essential in achieving a good delivery: gestures, body movement, facial expressions and vocal variety.
