Sound effects...

BOOM!, ZIP, ZOUZA, wooOOOO...OOOooow, DO, DONG, POW, DA DA DA!, DOODE, SPLAT, KAPOW, and many more random high pitched noises that come out in our everyday conversation are a necessity to life.

I am a firm believer that the sounds that we create when we talk to others should be a natural thing that happens everyday that we still breath. Yes it is true that you could just say "the car crashed into the tree and made a loud noise" but that isn't half as cool as, "the car hit the tree and BOOOOOSSSHHHCCCAAAABOOOOOM!!!" and throwing your hands up in the air is also a must at this point of stories.

I do understand that not everyone witnesses a car running into a tree everyday and exploding on impact, but you can always have a sound ready for any occasion... say that you have been involve in a gun shooting, don't say "and I was shot at," even if you say it with much enthusiasm it doesn't compare to; "and they shot at my like BANGBANGBANG!! RATATTATTATTAT!! PEWPEWPEW!! ZIPZOUNDZING!!!" with spittle spewing on all listeners, but they won't care that you just gave them your cold and many other hidden things from deep in your body, they will be way too enthralled by your story...

So think about the next time that you are going to tell someone about what happened to you today, is there a place for the hands to fly and the lips to fling spit to enhance your story? If so, do...
