Comments from attendees of recent Advantage Improv training events include:
“If you're naturally introverted but wish you could be more outgoing (because it DOES help in life), I promise you'll find no better cure than attending an IPPD workshop. Bob and Lee are fantastic instructors that go above and beyond with each student. They encourage you to step outside your comfort zone while providing the utmost support. You'll learn through both instruction and practice on how to think better on your feet, as well as improve upon one of life's most rewarding skills -- active listening. It's a requirement for improv and you'll find it greatly improves your relationship with others.
Finally, these classes are just plain fun. It's not often you can let your guard down and be silly among a group of people. Can't forget to mention that it's an AMAZING value. You're not going to find this high quality of instruction (even in the improv mecca of Los Angeles) for such a deal. I recommend you sign up quickly before they figure it out...”
Phillip McCollum
“Bob and Lee are such dynamic leaders. The environment they create at Advantage Improv is the perfect mix of fun, delight, challenge, safety and teamwork (not to mention funny British accents). As a complete beginner to improv I felt like I was part of the troupe from the onset. The exercises were perfect at connecting the participants and getting us in sync to begin creating improv performances.
I learned a lot about myself during the 5-week class. I learned I don't always go all in, but when I do it sets up my teammates for success and we can do anything! I also learned that improv, like dancing, can be truly amazing when the performers are connected by a sense of reciprocity with each other and their audience. I can't wait for the next class!”
Andy Shouse
“As an Eagle Scout I learned that the Scout’s motto is to “always be prepared.” I am quite good at planning the future and/or living in the past. What I have been wanting, though, is to improve being present. Knowing this about me, no less than three of my friends in one month suggested I take a class in improv to help with this goal. Had to be a sign, right?
Last week I completed 5 weeks of improv and want to encourage anyone with the same goal to check out Advantage Improv. Bob and Lee developed a program that helps you push and challenge one's comfort zones, while also making you feel completely safe. I was so impressed by the classes that I signed up for the next 5-week IPPD workshop!"
Adam Alexander
“Just when I thought I knew it all, I found Advantage Improv! You'd think with a Master degree in Speech Communication, I'd be an expert. Well, I was so pleased to know, even I could learn so much more about connecting positively with others through improvisation. What I'm improving most is how to be present and really actually listen to others.
There's never a dull moment in class, it's so interactive and super fun. Lee and Bob are the most entertaining improv coaches. They really make it exciting to learn! Come along to discover new communication skills for everyday life!”
Tami Smith
More important than the certificate you’ll receive, graduates of this workshop series will discover how improv skills can expand and maintain strong, long-lasting connections.
