Improv is great when you’re performing and someone forgets there lines or some how Act 1 lines end up in Act 3. I can't tell you how many times it has saved me when either a fellow actor or I have skipped a line that provided important information for the audience to know in order for them to follow the story. With lots of practice I got good at improv and did join an improv group for sometime performing downtown on the street during the summer. You are a great speaker and entertainer, I have full confidence that you will perfect the craft and have people laughing and crying out of their seats. God Bless.

You captured what we have all experienced, that flat audience that sucks the energy out. I love what you said about there is always one person who needs to hear the message and that is who you are speaking to. You can not give up on that person. Normally corporate and Government speakers, this week I had the opportunity to speak to a senior class at a High School. Boy, they gave me nothing for the first 5 minutes, kept fighting through it and BAM we connected. Thanks for re-confirming our belief that someone needs to hear the message. Keep Winning and Live Life Dynamically! Bill Jonathan,
