I know this sounds silly but..how to be talkative?

Answer:
Just keep going online and asking how to be talkative... that'll get you far in terms of social skills. (sarcasm)
My best guess would be to ask lots of questions. People love to talk about themselves, and this gives you a chance to interact. When they start talking, dig deeper into the conversation by asking for more information.
from a VERY talkative persons point of view, Just bring up any small talk you can think of. That's what I usually do, and I talk alot. Or you could talk about what happened today, or things like clothes or hair products, and if your using business talk bring up a fact about the business, that should start you up with some conversation:)
WAIT WAIT WAIT

I HAVE AN IDEA OF BRILLANCY !


OPEN YOUR MOUTH AND TALK YOUR LITTLE HEART OUT !!!!!

SOUND GOOD !! GGGRREEAT!!

THAT WILL BE A START FOR YOU

GOOD JOB
It may sound silly, but I really think it helps you be extroverted if you think that what you have to say is more important than it actually is. If you listen to people talk and talk and talk for hours on end or at any time, they mostly talk about bullshit. I too had to sort of learn to be extroverted, as I was extremely quiet in high school. Now, after some trial and error, I realize that my bullshit is pretty good. Even if you talk about nothing try to make it entertaining. Plus, my high school was more like a day club than a learning institution. I really hated it there. But when I went to college, it was a different environment, one where it was cool to be smart and extroverted at once, two things which I didn't think coincided in high school. So another piece of advice is to find a place where you're comfortable and know what you're talking about to come out of your shell. Confidence and competence always help make a good impression.
You can make use of your "power of observation" such as body language and perhaps work on increasing your memory to recall things people have said which is important information. The talkers have value-but the quite people have much to offer too. Go with what is natural for you and build upon it for success. A well thought out response is worth a thousand disjointed comments.
Hi, i was there. If you don't love your voice this is what happen and may by you love a voice that is not around or gone forever it can be a song or someone voice that melt you, it can be others say "YOU SOUND TERRIBLE" this is how owe voice shut down and we become quiet.I believe you on the right track cos you r schooling.
i have been in your situation, and i think it really helps to first become very comfortable with yourself and confident, first, and becoming more extroverted will follow that. Smiling and laughing goes a long way, seriously. but i also think that you should be careful not to become someone that you're not. i don't know about you, but i've seen more instances of people who are annoyed with those who talk too much than people who are naturally quiet. for instance if you're going into international business, many east-Asian cultures prefer quieter people over loud people. they see it as a sign of maturity and dignity, and more quiet people are popular there.
Don't despair In the fact that you haven't met people you can click with. I was painfully awkward in school when it came to meeting new people and striking up conversations or carrying one. I think what helped me was that as I got older I learned that most people (remember we are only 1% of the population personality wise) will let you guide the conversation if given the chance.
Trying to force it will probably backfire.

If you're naturally quite, don't seek out things that require being extroverted -- don't go into sales as a career, for example.

There's nothing wrong with not being noisy.

When in groups, seek out other quiet people, and talk to them -- get them to talk.

You don't have to turn yourself into an extrovert.

All extroverts doesn't work -- the world, and every situation in it -- needs both.

Ask people questions; get them talking. People love a chance to talk.

You're young (so I assume); as you get older, you'll be in more situations where the noisy people don't completely dominate.

Um, take some time to give people a chance; those that seem compatible, see if things develop.

Give things time.

I'm a person who doesn't hit it off with many people.

When it does happen, go for it (within reason).

When it takes time, let it take time.
