In case my friends don't find my constant musical outbursts annoying ENOUGH, I have decided to Make it Official. As of this week, I started the UCB's Musical Improv class. Sooooo, over the course of 8 weeks, I'm learning to continue long form improv, completely made up scenes,.... all in song. (OR SOMETIMES FREESTYLE RAP).
It's weird and stressful for sure; but it's so much easier to swallow the stress of improv when there's a song! The accompanist plays a tune based on the suggestion, and as long as you understand song structure, it's really not that terrifying. In fact, I love it so far and I've only been to one class.
You may laugh and roll your eyes now, but someday I will meet Wayne Brady in a dark lounge somewhere....and we will ascend the stage.....each give a nod to the jazzy pianist with the cigarette....and sing a song about a random one word suggestion from the audience.
