If you've ever taken an improv class or attended a comedy club featuring an improv troupe, you've likely heard "Yes, and..." quite frequently.

Now, let me ask you this:
Have you ever heard anyone use "Yes, but..." as an alternative way of accepting and extending the story?

Come join my free workshop next Thursday, April 4th at 7:00pm CST and you'll have a chance to learn how to use "Yes, but..." effectively along with games like "Call from Chris", "You're on Mute", and "Monologue Mischief".

They're all part of an experiment I'm working on to develop a longer workshop called "Impro for the Solo Voice Actor". The workshop is completely free and I have 17 slots remaining.

You can register for the workshop right here: https://bit.ly/Voimpro1

If you have any questions, feel free to ask in the comments or shoot me a private message.

Free Workshop for Voice Actors!

You're a voice actor looking for more training, more coaching, more connections...

I'm looking for voice actors to participate in the draft version of what I plan to be a 6 week series of lessons.

You get to experience impro for the solo voice actor where you'll play some impro games, talk shop with other voice actors, and give some feedback on the activities.

I get to, basically, experiment on you with lesson structure and content.

I have 20 slots to fill for this second session. Just click on the link below to register.

Session #2 When: Thursday April 4th; 7:00pm-8:00PM CST Where: The comfort of your own home studio Cost: Free as a bird friends!

Impro for the Solo Voice Actor Part Deux!
Another free workshop from the same guy who brought you the first one!

This time, I've built this fancy-schmancy form (https://lnkd.in/erBAMxD8) for you to sign up to attend. The workshop is totally free. Lasts only 60 minutes. And I can all but guarantee you're gonna giggle at least once.

When: Thursday March 28th at 7:00pm CST
Where: In the comfort of your home studio via Zoom
Cost: Zilch. Nada. Free!

What should you bring?
An open mind. A willingness to share live feedback about the workshop. And your funny bones.

How do you register?
Fill out this form (https://lnkd.in/erBAMxD8), answer a smackerel of questions, and boom you're in!

Is there a limit to how many can attend?
It would be a wonderful problem to have too many people attending! If the numbers go over 20, I may have to close registration because it's my goal to keep things small at first so everyone can engage in a bunch of games and activities while leaving time for Q&A and feedback. I am planning to do at least 2 more of these free workshops, so if you can't make this one or registration gets closed, keep an eye out for one of the next ones.

If you have any questions about this workshop, my virtual office is always open via LinkedIn messaging or you can find me at the watercooler on all the popular social media hangouts. Look for !
