Everyone's favorite award show :0 This one is a little self indulgent, but was delightful to make! Congrats to everyone who won a Mu-ie this year! Thanks to Limited Resources for inspiring this episode (and honestly the whole podcast) Also, I realized we missed the Tesuji of using the delayed Tesuji point to bring it to a tie... That is why it is such an important concept.

Slasher 10 - Pickle Combo - Muprov Musings 063

Muprov Musings: Exceptionally Average Improv ·

2024/12/30

This show is fantastic! Improv people always warn you not to do transaction scenes but they don't give you the gory details about can happen if you don't follow their advice ;). The show starts out as a sort of normal silly improv show about pickles and arcs into something intense and amazing! Hal and Julian both think that it is the best audio show that we have done so far and if you make it to the end you will see why. A great lesson in breaking the form and the perfect finale to our Slasher

Slasher 07 - GIGAskeleton - Muprov Musings 060

Muprov Musings: Exceptionally Average Improv ·

2024/12/09

Our GIGAspine episodes talk though all the thought processes that go into the narrative choices of a complete show! We think that this is one of the best ways to get insights into how you and you teammates actually make decisions, and to build up that skill separately from the actual improv.

SuperScene 02 - Directing - Muprov Musings 049

Muprov Musings: Exceptionally Average Improv ·

2024/08/20

Directing is one of the most important improv skills because if you learn how to be a good director, you will also learn how to be a good Side-coach and Artistic Director! If you want to develop your own signature style and innovate in the world of improv, directing a SuperScene is a great place to start!
