A Song in Your Heart

Consider adding song into your non-musical improv set, particularly if you have musical accompaniment.

I’m Michael Bradt for The Bit Theater. Musical improv is almost always a joy to watch and to perform. Consider adding song into your non-musical improv set, though, particularly if you have musical accompaniment. You get an extra layer of forgiveness from the audience when you’re singing, and they’re even more prone to laugh than they otherwise might have been. In addition, as we’ve learned from musicals, anything that’s sung onstage instantly seems much more important. Since improv is best when it examines the most important moments in people’s lives, the occasional song is an amazing way to punctuate it. That’s your improv tip for the day. Stay safe, stay healthy, love each other, and I will see you next time.
