Starting a presentation with an opening story sounds simpler than it looks. The reason is because many presenters do not have the experience or knowledge of how to do an academic presentation.
Let me share a short video as an example of how to open a presentation with a story identifying techniques to gain and keep the audience attention.
In this TED video we can see how the presenter opens the presentation introducing the topic and telling a short story about it. He also asks rhetorical questions and at the same time he is answering the questions. The presenter puts some humour to the story to gain the audience attention.
The presenter uses good resources of visuals creating a scene for the topic. In addition, introduces the characters of the story and at the end resolves the story and make his point.

REMEMBER: A story will keep the audience attention, because they will want to know what happens next.
