Telling captivating stories isn't difficult nor very hard to learn.
Roosh wrote in I think Bang that he learned how to tell stories by retelling jokes from Seinfeld. I'd also recommend reading more fiction. You're looking for words and how to use them to extract an emotional tone or flavor. How something makes you feel can generally be used as a gauge for how others will feel.
Practice on close friends and family.
Be honest and don't try to make lame stories sound exciting. Sometimes telling mundane wtf type stories in a normal tone of voice is all you need to keep the pace of a conversation.
Reading is always useful because it stimulates criativity.
However good written storytelling doesn't always translate into good spoken storytelling. It's just a different medium. Hence why, in my opinion, watching stand up comedy and listening to podcasts/interviews is more useful.
