Act Out Loud

To improvise means to make something up on the spot, or figure it out as you go. Improvisation is the foundation of acting it is like your tool kit of acting, apart from it being a lot of fun once these skills are learnt they are never forgotten.

Another meaning for improviserefers to acting onstage without a script.
