My improv skills need help!?

Question: My improv skills need help!!?

I was wondering if anybody had some really helpful tips on how to do improv well!. When I get up on stage, I kind of blank out!. also, why do you think I have great ideas off-stage, and when I'm onstage I'm like "oh my gosh"!? Thank you!Www@QuestionHome@Com

practice a lot!. and just work off of what other people say!. it doesnt always have to make a whole lot of sense!. at first it may seem kind of hard, but practice off stage with your friends and stuff and after a while you will get better, trust me! hope that helped!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Listen to your partner!. Just take small steps, and don't worry about making something "happen!." Trust that you are interesting!. Don't try to be funny--you won't be!. Your obvious choices will be fine!.

Offstage ideas are the future!. Onstage you have to be present!. One thing that tends to "blank" us is trying to come up with the "right" idea or a "good" idea!.

Whatever you do, commit to it!. When you act confident, you become confident!.

Sorry for the pithy statements and generalized advice, but those are kind of the basics!. There's a reason why people study improv; it's a craft and a skill that can be learned, but very few people can do it organically!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

always go along with what your partners say, do not create an argument,but pick up there ideas and add to them!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
