Voice Registry Podcast-Tracy Pattin talks to Improv Expert Bill Applebaum and Improv Voice Actor Students
February 24th, 2009 Posted in Audio Podcast
Bill Applebaum worked and studied Improvisation in Chicago with Del Close and Paul Sills. He worked onstage as a writer/performer at The Second City Theater in Chicago. Bill founded the Actors Improv Studio in Los Angeles and has been teaching Improv for the last 15 years. The Actors Improv Studio has a unique approach to improv these days that focuses on how improv helps people become better actors (and voice actors) by tapping into their creativity and not by being clever. It comes directly from those he studied with. Improv classes are ongoing at Compost Productions .

Great stuff! Can’t wait to hear more. I took a VO class with Bill Holmes and heard lots about Bill Applebaum’s classes. I’ve been thinking of starting them up, and this really tells me I should get on it if I want to improve my chances of being successful. I’ve always been terrified of improv for the very reason of “trying to be funny”. It’s nice to hear that it’s not really about that.
