I’m Michael Bradt for The Bit Theater. Asking for a “word, any word,” is fine when you’re soliciting a suggestion, but don’t be surprised if you don’t get suggestions that you like. When people are asked to give a suggestion of a word, they can be overwhelmed with all of the choices of words that they know. On the flip side, if you ask them for their favorite memory, a song lyric, or even something that would fit in a bread box, they’ll likely be quicker to come up with a response. If you direct your audience by asking for suggestions with more specificity, you’ll get better suggestions in return. That’s your improv tip for the day. Stay safe, stay healthy, love each other, and I will see you next time.
