Category: Performance Critiques

This is the second class show for my latest improv class and I’m only gonna critique my parts. The format of this show was, walk around and dump three thoughts, do a monologue, repeat the previous two steps, then do two person scenes with the same person for two scenes, then do anything

0m54s Add details of the airline name, the company name and the hotel name

2m12s Look up more when speaking

3m22s I need to stop coming out on the first scene EVERY time

3m59s I could’ve focused more on his sneaking in plot and less on adding more information, move things forward

5m02s Should’ve focused on us as expert speakers to bankers on money laundering

7m29s Funny

Part 2

0m37s I should’ve talked to them instead of just giving them the sign, I should’ve talked about the laundry thing

1m03s Not terrible for being put on the spot

1m09s Should’ve cut back from ancient China to current day or some future time

3m35s I was confused where I was and came up with something

3m48s I’m not sure if I was supposed to be the same character as before, so I just went for it

4m16s After “stranger” I could’ve said “just call me Bob”

Part 3

1m08s No idea what that was supposed to be about

3m35s I’m confused what’s going on, I should’ve given “dad” a reason to walk away instead of looking like a dear in head lights

3m58s Good job going with the avante garde dance thing

Overall: I was confused in a lot of scenes and didn’t commit fully to what was going on, and I questioned premises instead of assuming whatever the other person was doing was brilliant. Basically, I improv bombed: no strong “yes and’s”, no strong initiations and I didn’t commit to characters fully.

I took another improv class and this is my first class show, I’m only gonna critique my parts. The format of this show was, walk around and dump three thoughts, do a monologue, repeat the previous two steps twice, then do two person scenes with the same person for three scenes

2m49s Be more specific and say what we should do, instead of “something”

3m19s Good line and good job keeping a straight face

3m49s We could’ve had more action taking place or at least started a bigger plan

Part 2

1m16s I screwed up the last name of the other characters, good fix by my partner

2m32 Good job acknowledging the bad object work

4m54s I should’ve come in as the female masseuse

6m20s I still could’ve come in as the female masseuse

7m10s Good call back

7m28s I should’ve focused on why he kept making tacos, said that he owns the store or something

8m23s I could’ve said something like, “Now that I’ve made out with the sixth girl, I don’t need the “smart” title to get action anymore”

9m16s I should’ve remembered saying the lessons thing and gotten into a future scene with the Gambilini’s

Part 3

2m52s Both me and my scene partner are up on chairs filming, you can only see him

3m36s The show was supposed to end, but didn’t, so we came out for another scene and ended it on a laugh

Overall: Decent improv but I could’ve assisted in other scenes more and my scenes could’ve gotten to the funny quicker
