Had improv class tonight. I wasn’t perfect the whole time, but I finally feel like things are starting to click. Some of the scenes are really working (some are even funny). This level has a concentration on character. Don’t know why I haven’t made the connection before, but that really is the secret to improv. Quickly choose a character and then go from there. I have spent some time lately watching people. Everyone is a character, but some need a little bit of a kick to make it funnier.

I just signed up for a solo improv series of classes. It is taught by Andy Eninger, who was my first improv teacher. I like the idea of being able to create everything yourself. It is kind of like taking on the writer role in a scene. When I am writing I am in charge of everyone, and it will be fun to do this in improv. I am a little afraid of being responsible for everything in a scene. One of the best things about Second City training is that we learn to work off of each other. This will be a little different.
