Pay attention to your volume, and try turning it up or down for a change of pace.

Address the elephants in the room sooner rather than later so you can move your scene to the next logical step.

Until someone joins you onstage, you have free rein to make any of the scene choices you want to.

Only by getting better every day will you ever be the best, you competitive nut.

If you focus on learning how to improvise from a real place, the funny will eventually come.

If you break down your scenes into a series of binary choices, you might find it easier to free up your brain to focus on reacting to those choices.

Everything should be important.

When you’re manipulating an improvised object, it should look just like you’re manipulating a real object, but you can’t see the object.

There’s no need to wink at the audience if you struggle to come up with an idea or stammer over a line.

Believe you’ll succeed.
