Podcast appearances and mentions of bobbi block

For episode 064 of Actorcast, I am joined by my good friend, Bobbi Block!

We discuss a variety of forms of improv, how it can help actors with their scripted work, and how improv has the ability to help those outside of the industry as well.

Bobbi Block has had a lifelong love of acting. From as far back as she can remember, she's been bringing characters to life. It wasn't until discovering comedy improv, however, that she could express the full spectrum of her emotions. A self-described “recovering control freak,” she has found a level of freedom and flexibility through comedic improvisation that has translated into every area of her life. Bobbi now uses the fundamentals of improv to help others acquire more effective ways of navigating the world. This is a story about listening to one's self and others and embracing all life has to offer.
