Take It 'Til You Make It

I’m Michael Bradt for The Bit Theater. Take classes. If you can afford the time and the money necessary to take improv classes, take as many improv classes as you can. Seek out different theaters, different teaching methods, different improv forms, and different teachers. A big part of being a great improviser is getting variety in your experiences, so the more varied classes you can take, the better. Don’t limit yourself to taking that one class with that one teacher that everyone tells you that you “just have to” take. A certain teacher may have an exercise or a way of explaining a concept that you’d initially found difficult, and they make it click right into place. Go out there and find them. That’s your improv tip for the day. If you have a rehearsal, class, audition, or show tonight, break a leg, and I will see you next time.
