In Improv we generally don’t have the time to create rounded characters, however knowing how to do this and employing those techniques whenever you can, definitely makes your characters more varied and more believable, as well as giving you – as an improviser – far more detail and nuance to draw on in the moment.

This Character Workshop will teach you some easy to apply acting techniques which can be practiced and used to bring another level of skill to all of your improvisation.
