Seems when we get down to it, the best thing a voice actor can bring to the audition or voice over job is themselves. Sometimes that is easier said that done. But by building improv skills, we can tap into our truth and discover more of our creativity, hopefully resulting in great choices when we’re doing voice over work.

1. Helps give you ideas and choices in the booth
2. Helps you find character voices
3. Helps you trust your instincts giving you more confidence
