In this week's episode of Improv for the Podcast host Michael Lee Evans sits down to discuss how to IMPROV-yourself. Take a look at the section below to see Michael's recommendations. Find us on our socials: https://linktr.ee/iftp
Michael's Guide to IMPROV-Yourself:
Exercises:
Writing exercises - Set a timer and let your thoughts run wild on the page, afterwards see what sticks! You can give yourself a one word suggestion, listen to a monologue, or go off the top of your head.
Three things - find a random category generator and list three things from it or even five things for a real challenge.
Characters in the car - While driving, experiment with voices, observe another driver and act like you think they would act.
Media/Books:
Truth in comedy - Del Close and Charna Halpern
Improvise by Mick Napier
Improv Nation - Sam Wasson
Pre-class:
Pick an objective for your next class (Focus on space work, characters, range, who what where etc) then reflect in the car on the way home!
