First of all, congrats on making callbacks!

I'm guessing there are going to be some improv games (like stuff off of Who's Line is it Anyway!?)!. They will probably also give you a situation or a setting and a character and have you act it out, either solo or with a partner or two!. For example a place might be the grocery store and you are a dog trainer and your partner is a firefighter!. You two then interact in an interesting or creative or funny way!. They will watch your sense of being able to make it up as you go!.

This is a very valuable skill in theatre because people drop lines on accident all the time!.

That is how most of my improv callbacks have gone!.

Take a few breaths and just goof around!. Have fun!

Okay, when the moment comes to go up there, take a deep breath and zone out for a second!. Get into character when you aren't on earth for that second!. Then come back, and think of what YOU would do as that character if they were in a situation!.
If you aren't playing a character, then get into the "you" character!. Think of how you would react to whatever situation they throw you in!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

You just gotta relax, relaxing in improvising is the key, take a deep breath and just do whatever you want, and think quick before saying anything, and don't laugh, and they say that if you miss, 80% of the crowd wont realise that you messed up :), been there done that, very hard =!.=, GOOD LUCK :):):)Www@QuestionHome@Com
