Improv is a fascinating technique in the performance world that some people love, many people fear, and, I suspect, many simply don’t fully understand.
I admit, myself, that I fell into a combination of the fear and lack of understanding category. Until this interview with Rebecca Haugh.
Rebecca is a gifted voice actor and coach who teaches voice actors the art of improv.
If improv is something you’ve never really explored or considered before, I strongly urge you to listen to this episode with an open mind. You might just find improv could be the catalyst to leveling up your comfort and performance level in the booth!
