Bubble Letters

from The Backline - An Improv Podcast Hosted by The Sonar Network

This week on Backline, Rob and Adam explore how improvisers can create characters with greater depth, vulnerability, and gravitas. Beyond funny voices and quirks, what makes a character feel like a real person? The hosts discuss techniques for building emotional weight, making meaningful choices, and finding humanity in even the most heightened scenes. They also break down "counterpoint" character moves—when and how to introduce contrasting perspectives, energies, and behaviours that strengthen a scene rather than derail it.
