I’m Michael Bradt for The Bit Theater. You’re bound to get tongue-tied at some point during your improv career. If you do ever mispronounce a word or misspeak an entire sentence, instead of correcting it, consider using it. This entire world you’re creating onstage is invented, so why can’t the language be, as well? What may start as a simple verbal miscue could become a hilarious running joke throughout your entire set. Embrace it, and see where it takes you. That’s your improv tip for the day. Stay safe, stay healthy, love each other, and I will see you next time.
