What makes a good rant?

A rant is usually done with wit and humor, at the same time expressing a position, a stance, or just something that you think is important. A good rant has the following components:

  1. Clear structure
  • Intro – Establish the topic of the rant.
  • Middle – Provides a challenging statement which makes the listener/viewer think….The “AHA!” moment.
  • End – Wrap up with a statement that leaves the listener/viewer with an understanding of the topic, i.e. a summary with a catch. The catch should include content but could also be a facial expression/movement.

  1. A topic that is current
  • Topic should not be threatening, include profanity or malign an individual or organizations’ reputation.

  1. Utilizes facial expressions

  1. Good intonation

  1. Clear and concise message


Also remember, a rant can be as individualistic as the person ranting!
