Holy Shit Improv

Hmm...not sure who I would pick for a megazord, but Amy Poehler, Zach Woods, Jordan Peele and Donald Glover are some of the best I've seen in-person. I guess if I'm building a megazord improviser, I'm starting with Jim Woods' calves and building out from there -Casey

If you could combine three (or five) improvisers to create a megazord improviser, who would you choose?

These are great questions! Please ask them again when we do our next Q&A. I'll answer two quickly. You don't have to be funny to do improv. I like following funny comedic patterns, so I go for comedy in my scenes but you can do amazing improv and not be funny. As for advice with better dialogue, here are my three pitches: 1. slow down 2. think "if this is true, what else is true?" 3. let the genre you're playing in be your guide. Improv can be hard because you can say anything at any time. Use structure/genre to limit your choices and have your creativity soar by simply saying what you think makes sense for the world you're in. - Casey

Thanks for doing this Casey! I had asked a question on a previous post that you answered, but I figured I’d ask it again in case you thought you could expand on your answer if you were talking instead of typing. - Do you have to be funny to do improv? - You’ve played with a lot of people and always seem to fit with everyone. Do you find it easy to play with everyone or does it take a scene or two before you feel comfortable? - Does world building (coming up with names, places, etc) come naturally to you? - What part of improv was the hardest for you to learn/grasp? - Any advice on how to get better at dialogue? I DM/GM TTRPGs for friends and I find it really hard to speak with my players unless I pre-write dialogue, so conversations always sound forced.
