Slide 34 text
There are no rules or limitations for comedy or communication
Slide 35
Slide 35 text
Anyone can have a good memory, but...

Sometimes you just have to do your homework...
Slide 50

The 5 W’s!
Slide 51
Slide 51 text
Only then can you get to “How”
Slide 52
Slide 52 text
This same process applies for stand-up routines
Slide 53

Slide 58
Slide 58 text
A lot of people are afraid of making mistakes
Slide 59
Slide 59 text
Anxiety that accompanies the thought of trying something new
Slide 60
Slide 60 text
Dreaming of scenarios doesn’t set up reality very well
Slide 61
Slide 61 text
But those moments in real life can help us learn about others and ourselves.
Slide 62
Slide 62 text
Experience is necessary for Comic Timing
Slide 63
Slide 63 text
The most successful people you meet didn’t just land at the top of the mountain
Slide 64
Slide 64 text
There is usually Struggle & Failure on the path to Success
Slide 65
Slide 65 text
Sometimes the only way out (and up) is through
Slide 66
Slide 66 text
Comedians follow this thought process all the time
Slide 67

Sometimes it can help to learn to laugh at yourself and your circumstances

“Don’t Play the Result! “

Slide 93 text
Play each scene and each beat as it comes

You don’t always know the story as much as you think you do
Slide 95
Slide 95 text
This doesn’t mean “don’t be prepared”
Slide 96
Slide 96 text
But don’t play yourself into a bad situation
Slide 97
Slide 97 text
The result isn’t written yet
Slide 98
Slide 98 text
“Act as if”

“Act as if” it ‘s the way you want things to be
