It is definitely an interesting blog post, at the very least. I started watching the talk (Thanks for mentioning it, I missed the link when reading the blog), but I won't have time to watch all of it until tomorrow. From what I've watched, however, you guys (all three of you) have a really good stage dynamic.
- tptacek 17y agoThat's all Mike (he's an Improv guy). I'm really happy with how the talk was received; it's the most fun I've ever had doing a talk. Advice to startup entrepreneurs re: public speaking: hire someone who does improv.
- wallflower 17y agoTaking an improv class and going to improv workshops was and is still a stretch for my logical, dominant right-brained personality. I highly recommend it for anyone who wants to experience what it feels like to be spontaneous and/or funny (and sometimes both). The exercises that you do literally are designed to get you comfortable with thinking on your feet. Starting with simple exercises like A-Z (conversation with someone, one statement ping pong 'A beautiful day', 'Because you got out of bed' etc.) and going all the way to 15-20 min improvised loosely-tied sketches.
