When in Doubt, Yield

I’m Michael Bradt for The Bit Theater. No matter how good you are at taking or giving focus in a scene, there will be at least a time or two when you find yourself talking at the same time as a fellow performer. More than one person talking at once, is not likely to be coherent to the audience. Unless that’s an intentional choice in service of the scene, it’s going to have to get fixed. Your safest bet to unclutter the conversation is to make like you’re back in drivers’ ed and yield focus. You’ll get your chance to speak later. When in doubt, yield. That’s your improv tip for the day. Stay safe and stay healthy, and I will see you next time.
