Impro is probably one of the most useful tools for an actor. Always having something to say and being able to react appropriately are two great skills you can quickly develop by taking regular improv classes.
There are lots of classes to choose from in and around London and once you have developed your impro skills there are plenty of opportunities for performance.
With a few lessons under your belt you will also find auditions a lot less stressful, as very much like an athlete, you will be ready for that all important event when they ask you to improvise on the spot.
Lots of actors I know cringe at the thought of even taking an impro class but believe me it is a necessary part of your continual training. Just like a vocal warm up and the great thing is, once you become proficient at it you will be able to start creating your own work.
At my drama school all my kids classes do a heavy amount of impro and I am delighted to report that as they reach their teens they are able to produce their own material and compile their own shows. So if you haven't done any yet now is the time to start, don't delay find a class and get cracking. Who knows it may be the beginning of a brand new show and a trip to the fringe festival in Edinburgh .
