Enrolling in an Improvisational Theater class is among the best recommendations for performers who want to learn how to connect with audiences. It should be a requirement for team shows, but solo shows can also benefit from it. One of the most valuable skills to learn is active listening.
Nobody likes it when someone talks down to them, and they like it less when ignored. They love it when they’re made to feel special. Making the audience feel special is not hard to do when you turn your language inside out using powerful language with an external focus, and that often comes down to active listening and responding.
