hey there first of I'm really happy with the videos you do its fun and informative. thank you. I'm a silent person myself and some times conversations get really awkward when I don't have anything to say back and regret it later. I always feel great answers/comebacks come long after the topic is over. so watching your videos gives me an idea of building good fun conversation. if there is any tip that you'd like to suggest to introverts it would helpful. thank you!

Love this! I did improv a ton in and after college, but life happened and I haven't in 4-5 years. Getting back into it, and out of my own way, has been an interesting journey and honestly this has been one of the most helpful (and simple) and immediatly applicable videos I've found to kick off the rust at home. Thank you so much! Fun stuff!
