Class Description:
You can analyze a script with the best of them. You’re comfortable on stage and \ or in front of the camera. And directors love you!

Then you go to an audition or a rehearsal and hear these terrifying words: “Let’s improvise a bit”.

Improv is a big part of an actors’ skillset, even if you’re not doing improv shows. And it’s becoming even bigger every day.
In this special workshop for professional actors, you’ll learn how to improvise with confidence and use your acting skills to create solid spontaneous scenes and stand out in those auditions where you’re asked to improvise.

Here’s just some of what you’ll learn

  • Fearlessly going script-less at a moment’s notice.
  • How to do solid acting without a script, a director or rehearsal.
  • Creating solid characters in an instant.
  • Overcoming the unique challenges scripted actors face when improvising.
  • How to stand out in those “let’s improvise” auditions for commercials and industrials.

Improvising with actors who don’t know how to improvise (happens all the time at auditions) and still creating stand-out work.

Sign up today and become the actor who shines in those “let’s improvise” moments! It just might be the most fun you ever have without a script.
