Pace Yourself

I’m Michael Bradt for The Bit Theater. Just like great movies and television shows have great pacing, so do great improv sets. If your set has been filled with high-energy, frenetic fast scenes, it might be in your best interest to slow down for a scene or two to give the audience a chance to regroup. Similarly, if you're following a series of slow sets, it might be wise to play with a lot of fast energy. If you’re organizing your own improv or sketch show, it’s also worth considering the order of the teams or forms to pace your higher- and lower-energy moments evenly. That’s your improv tip for the day. Stay safe, stay healthy, love each other, and I will see you next time.
