Name Names

I’m Michael Bradt for The Bit Theater. Name your characters. The sooner you get into the habit of naming your characters, the more naturally naming will fit into your scenes, and the better your memory for names will become. Naming characters not only makes them more realistic, but it also makes it easier to call back characters and to invent a backstory and a voice for them. If you have a hard time coming up with names, use people you know. It will make names even easier to remember if the character reminds you of a real person in your life. So name names. That’s your improv tip for the day. Stay safe and stay healthy, and I will see you next time.
