Multicam is a TV show.

There's like...

Single cams and multi-cam.

Multi-cam is one that's a play, but there's a camera.

So there's no fourth wall.

There's a live audience usually.

And traditionally, plays, you don't improvise too much because there's so much choreography with the blocking of the camera switching and everything, right?

Yep.

On his show, on Jim's show, which is Chuck Lorre, where he's known for, not only are you not allowed to improvise, you need to pause when there's a comma.

It's very exact, right?

Yep.

If you're going to be a great multicam actor for this type of boss, hit your mark, know your words, know your pauses.

But then, well, what about what I bring to it?

What about my phrasing?

You're going to have your phrasing built into it or you'll be a robot, right?

And I feel that way with a piano as well, as much as dictation.

I mean, whether it's your accent or it's your charisma of like putting things aside and adding your own little twist, whatever it might be.

As a comedian, it's called, I mean, most artists, it's like finding your voice.

What's your voice?

Do you know who Sebastian Maniscalco is?
