Yeah, but you have no idea what's going on on stage with the actors. I mean, I have literally laughed thickly through speeches that I had to give because my fellow actors were putting carrots up their nose or broccoli in their ears or doing whatever they were doing to make me laugh.

It can be helpful. But Improv is, I'm a big, such a big believer in the writing and in serving the writing and doing the words the writer wrote. That improv for me, unless you're just doing like comedy and, you know, like, I mean, I love improv and In comedy, it's brilliant. So much fun to watch people just come up with something right there.
