Go-To Characters

I’m Michael Bradt for The Bit Theater. Find some characters you're comfortable with and confident playing that you can pull out at any time during a set. Not only will you have a safe space of characters you can use when you’re feeling lost or a set is spinning out of control, but also you can grow these characters over time. In addition, your teammates will learn to recognize these characters, and they'll know what they're getting when you break them out. That’s not cheating any more than it is when you act like yourself, which is really just a character. At least, I don’t think so. That’s your improv tip for the day. Stay safe, stay healthy, love each other, and I will see you next time.
