      The point I see is how he sees the people around him. Improv is about being able to see everyone around you, appreciate everything about them. His attitude towards them is what got nurtured and developed. I've witnessed this happen with so many really amazing improvisers around me from all walks of life. They found that extra something that makes others look good in improv. That collaborative spirit. I'd even take it to the world of football...like a midfielder who sets up a play where a striker can send the ball into the net, and everyone cheers the striker. That's improv and that's what he's discovered

      He has a lot of great and very funny characters there. Too bad the the mill that is the entertainment industry is chewing all up in the end. I am watching now "Ted Lasso" and to my big surprise, it is a really good show, even better than his lead character itself, you don't see that often. So he's doing kind of well now, but I am afraid it's the short up before "they" come and stick you on on their plan.

      @Billy West Well I was mainly referring to the fact that he didn't really provide any specific advice for how to do good improv, just that you'll be better the more you practice around better people which is essentially a given. But maybe you're right and me and my 48 pals are just stupid.
      Homeboy, word of advice, assuming people around you are idiots is an idiot's fallacy. Assume people are smart and you'll learn a lot more. There's a specific tip for better improv; assume your scene partners are talented and lean into their better qualities, trust them. But what do I know, I've only been doing it around "iron" for 2 years.

    • @jsharp3165
      @jsharp3165 3 роки тому +4

      In ancient Greek theater, there was a small group of people (usually dressed in identical robes) who were part of the play but external to the action who stood to one side and served as narrators and commentators on the story. They spoke in unison, as a "chorus." So, all these people in Jason's head serve that function in his work, standing to one side and providing commentary on his improv.

    I hope he's nicer now because when he was my improv coach he was less than....professional, I'll just say that. But, I learned a lot from him about improv (he's an improv master) as well as more constructive ways to teach and relate to people. LOL.

      @HEAVYHONEY1 5 років тому +11

      I didn't know these were here! Note: I'm not knocking him as much I as I am saying he was a rough teacher back in the day and I hope he's not anymore. He was one of a few teachers I had at the Second City Las Vegas. I was also taught by my overall fav teacher Kay Canon (Jason's ex). Later I was cast in the SCLV show, Scripless and was also Jason's understudy on the mainstage for a short time (this was all back in 2004 at the Flamingo Hilton LV) @Robinh4
