Be a Character

In improvised scenes; actors have the ability to establish characters on the spot per the audience's suggestions. They base these characters after people they have witnessed in real life and they can be far from the actor's personal personality. This is a great perk of improv, going beyond the norm, but why does it have to stop there?!?! Who says you have to be one person all the time. You can be whoever you want... adapt change grow broaden your horizon. Try on a different hat, act a different way... be one person at work, another at the gym, challenge yourself to go outside your comfort zone at the bar, but no matter what your character you play remember you are still the same person underneath. Be true to that.
