Stand-up Persona Sessions (on Zoom)

Service Description

Are you a stand-up comedian (new or not so new) looking to discover your authentic comedic voice? Well, that takes time... but you can speed things up with this two part Zoom session! Here’s what we cover: •  We identify you archetypes, likeability and status: ◦Identification of your Jungian archetypes (e.g., Innocent, Regular Person, Crusader, Caregiver, Explorer, Rebel, Sensualist, Creator, Jester, Sage, Magician, Ruler) that fit your persona. ◦ Likability: What makes your on-stage persona appealing to the audience? Rapid-Fire Persona Polarity Assessment: The group participate in a quick rating exercise to define the perceived extremes for each participant's persona across a 1-5 scale for traits such as: Friendly/Scary, Angry/Calm, Serious/Silly, Grown-up/Childish, Realist/Dreamer, Wise/Stupid. Persona Games: As a group, we also explore and select the persona games (e.g., giving bad advice, overthinking, impulsive, arrogant, shameless) that suit your comedy. Creative Writing Exercises: There are also creative exercises in class to explore your persona. • Plus guidance on how to interpret and utilise the feedback received (whether to cultivate an emerging trait or reign it in). Whether you've just started out or have plenty of gigs under your belt, understanding and embracing your on-stage persona focuses your writing and performance and enables the audience to immediately get you. Join me in these engaging and interactive online Zoom sessions to find your authentic stage voice. Be funnier, clearer, and more impactful.
