Read the paper or books on topics you are interested in.
Keep up on current events. Form some opinions. Engage other people. If you are at a party, walk around until you hear something you want to comment on.
Practice while standing in line at a store or the bank.
If your short conversation did not go too well, it doesn't matter. You'll never see that person again, anyway.

To be a good social talker, you need to be more interested in others than you are in yourself.
If you are interested in them it makes them feel liked and accepted. They all want the same thing you do - acceptance.
Think about how you feel when someone asks you where you are from and when you tell them , they immediately make a comment about it or ask more about it. They are interested! And that makes you feel good about yourself- right?
If you do the same, everyone will feel comfortable.
But don't make a lot of opinionated remarks, that's a turn off.
Just be yourself and you will be suprised. It's even ok to let them know that you are a little shy. Unless they are are rock stars, they're a little shy too.
There is a subtle little process that goes on in the beginning of this type of conversation where each person is jockying around to find a 'connection" with the other. It may be a little awakward at first so don't let that stop you. Ask a question and then remark about the party or something. If that goes nowhere, move on to another person until you find one with whom you can glide right into an easy layed back conversation. You may have to go through several trys. That's just how it works. So just keep going and talking.

Be able to make an easy conversation with people. Social talker will mean your a social person. If you dont enjoy toalking to others then you will never be a social talker.
There's nothing to it. Just talk. Start and easy conversation....but at the same time interesting. Make people feel confortable with you. Be an open mind ...listen....and talk.
The best way to describe a social talker will simply be somebody who can pick up a conversation, any conversation with practicly anyone even strangers.
Don't be shy and let your true colors show. ...and by answering how you become a socail talker, easy: TALK......productive TALK> all you gotta do is talk talk talk.
Hope this worked out for you.

Have a few drinks and just let it all the words come pouring out! Just kidding! My advice to you is to make sure that you can speak on a variety of topics such as politics, health care, education, celebrities, food, etc. You get the picture. This way, you'll never run out of things to talk about and you'll be able to talk to anyone. You'll have a "diverse" conversation.
Oh yeah, don't forget to be a good listener too. No one wants to be around a "conversation hog". Good luck to you!

By practicing ---talk to the clerk in the store, talk to the girl selling tickets at the movie theater, talk any time you get the chance, especially to strangers ---be the one to initiate the conversation. This will make you comfortable talking to people you don't know.

Mock those who are downtrodden or socially awkward.
Give phony praise to people!
And you are on your way lad!
