You know how sports teach kids teamwork and how to be strong and brave and confident? Improv was my sport. I learned how to not waffle and how to hold a conversation, how to take risks and actually be excited to fail.

I want to be an improviser, and I've worked very hard at that. It's an art. You don't just play whatever comes into your head; you have to be very deliberate about what you do.
Doing improv really got me started in my whole career.
Taking improv has helped every other aspect of my field.
Improv training allows you to get out of your head a little bit and take more risks, which is something I would like to continue to improve upon.
I started in improv and went into different kinds of things.
I love improv so much. Listening. I think that's the key. When you improvise, you put a lot of pressure on yourself to create, and to be generating information, and trying to be funny, but if you just listen to what's being said to you, and then react honestly, you generally get better results.
I did improv for about 10 years professionally, and before that, I had done it in high school as part of an improv team. It was definitely a big part of my upbringing.
Improv is mostly what I've studied.
I started doing improv my sophomore year.
I know how to have a conversation, but I've never done improv. I've never taken improv classes.
