Creating Interesting Characters with Frank Caeti
This workshop focuses on building interesting improvised characters. Using a simple approach of one choice at the top and subsequent nuanced choices as the scene proceeds leads to memorable characters and informs vocal quality, point of view, want, and disposition. When we become the character, content choices become easier, and scenes get more fun!
