Hi Creative Explorers,
FYI - From now on Blog emails will be prescheduled for 10am on Tuesdays ~ a more optimal time. I’m creating reliable systems! Thanks for your continued support. GREAT NEWS I am SO PROUD of my African-American 7th grade voice student, Haley Walker! After 14 beginner voice lessons, Haley competed VERY WELL in 4 categories at a middle school performing arts competition! 5-STAR GOOGLE REVIEW "Karen did an excellent job preparing my daughter for several competitions. As a result of her training my child placed in numerous categories including: semifinals for monologue, 2nd place lip sync, 4th place solo performance, 6th place costume design." ~ LaShonda Walker, Life Coach Thank you very much, LaShonda!! Haley is DELIGHTFUL and she did AMAZING, as a beginner!! ...and Haley is not the only one benefiting from improv training! 7 Research-Based Benefits of Improv Comedy
Back in the 2000's, I was a teaching theater artist with SteppingStone Theatre for 4 years, and taught improv and dramatics programs for public schools, day camps, and even the Girl Scouts (400 in one day)! So, I have seen first hand how improv can change lives! Fast forward to today, and not only am I continuing to teach improv as a Holistic Voice Coach ~ it's the basis for my New Choice: Improv Your Life! board game, which I am developing. How does it work? ROLL > TRAVEL > IMPROV! 1. Roll the dice. 2. Travel around the world and land on one of the 20 country squares. 3. Improv with the help of a Thought, Feeling, Action, or Place card prompt ~ and make money to help your parents pay for college by speaking, singing, acting, or creating a tune. (BONUS $ for RHYMING and making the other team LAUGH!) Ages 6 to adult - great for families! Play with 2 - 40 players (on two teams) IMPROV CARD PLAY EXAMPLE PLAYER 1: Reads FEELING card out loud: “I feel LOVED!” OPPOSING TEAM CAPTAIN: Says “New Choice!” and counts with thumb. PLAYER 1 (or 2): Sings out: “I feel PRETTY, oh so PRETTY!" OPPOSING TEAM CAPTAIN: Says “New Choice!” and counts with 2 fingers. PLAYER 1 (or 3): Acts out: “I feel HUNGRY!” OPPOSING TEAM CAPTAIN: Says “New Choice!” and counts with 3 fingers. PLAYER 1 (or 4): Speaks out and gestures: “I feel HILARIOUS!” OPPOSING TEAM CAPTAIN: Says “New Choice!” and counts with 4 fingers. PLAYER 1 (or 5): Improvises tune with a funny voice: “I feel DELIRIOUS!” OPPOSING TEAM CAPTAIN: LAUGHS, says “New Choice!” and counts with 5 fingers. :D Want to playtest it yourself? https://tinyurl.com/playtestnewchoicegame Best wishes, Karen Lyu (she/her) Holistic Voice Coach + Keynote Concert Speaker + Game Designer aka "Karey Poppins" ~~~~~ Karen's Links https://linktr.ee/karenlyu ~~~~~ NEW CHOICE Game Links (3 VIDEOS POSTED) https://www.tiktok.com/@newchoicegame https://www.instagram.com/newchoicegame https://www.facebook.com/newchoicegame ~~~~~ 612-299-2462 karen@holisticvoicecoach.com newchoicegame@gmail.com
