Your Characters Are as Unique as You Are

I’m Michael Bradt for The Bit Theater. There’s a part of you in every character that you play. Even as you’re onstage playing an alien from another world or a character with a completely different background than yours, you’re playing that character through the lens of your experiences with characters like that. And that’s okay. Because that means that you’re never going to do the exact same character as someone else, even if you’re specifically trying to do so. And that’s a good thing. Don’t worry about making your alien unique from everyone else’s. It will be because it’s played by you. That’s your improv tip for the day. If you have a rehearsal, class, audition, or show tonight, break a leg, and I will see you next time.
