Taking improv has helped every other aspect of my field.

Improvising is wonderful. But, the thing is that you cannot improvise unless you know exactly what you're doing. That's a kind of paradoxical thing about improvising.

Doing improv really got me started in my whole career.

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.

Improv is mostly what I've studied.

I never went to acting school, so improv was my training. Just being quick on your feet helps in everyday life.

When you're improvising, it's fun to find something that you can lean on that is similar to your life experience. In my opinion, that's very helpful.

No, improvising is wonderful. But, the thing is that you cannot improvise unless you know exactly what you're doing.

I never did improv professionally, but that was certainly in my training as an actor. I like it.

Even if you're improvising, the fact that beforehand you know certain things will work helps you make those improvisations successful. It really helps to have a certain amount of knowledge about musical structure.
