Many improv theater games were introduced in the 1920s and 30s to warm actors up for a performance. The actors only use word suggestion or story inspiration from the audience or fellow actors. In today\u2019s world people are now beginning to realize that this style of acting, and the techniques behind it strongly relate to everyday life in the professional world. Main strategies like listening, body language, effective communication, team building, preforming under stress, and creativity. Each one of those strategies that improv brings together to make a scene can be brought together for a college student to perform in a job interview, and when that students gets that job become a strong employee.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\">Kevin Daly, an assistant professor of theater at Quinnipiac University, agrees that listening is one of the most important skills in improv and in the real world.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\">\u201cWhatever it is you\u2019re doing you\u2019re still going to need to have really sharp listening skills to be successful,\u201d he says. <\/p>\n<div\n        class=\"\n          image-block-outer-wrapper\n          layout-caption-below\n          design-layout-inline\n          combination-animation-none\n          individual-animation-none\n          individual-text-animation-none\n        \"\n        data-test=\"image-block-inline-outer-wrapper\"\n    ><\/p>\n<figure\n            class=\"\n              sqs-block-image-figure\n              intrinsic\n            \"\n            style=\"max-width:2500.0px;\"\n        ><\/p>\n<div\n              \n                style=\"padding-bottom:66.78082275390625%;\"\n              \n              class=\"\n                image-block-wrapper\n                \n          \n        \n                has-aspect-ratio\n              \"\n              data-animation-role=\"image\"\n              \n  \n\n          ><br \/>\n            <noscript><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/hqnn.org\/hqpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/IMG_9606.jpg\" alt=\"Sarah Fisher expresses ideas to Kevin Cathy, both members of Quinnipiac\u2019s Improv troupe.\" \/><\/noscript><img class=\"thumb-image\" data-src=\"http:\/\/hqnn.org\/hqpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/IMG_9606.jpg\" data-image=\"http:\/\/hqnn.org\/hqpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/IMG_9606.jpg\" data-image-dimensions=\"2500x1667\" data-image-focal-point=\"0.5,0.5\" alt=\"Sarah Fisher expresses ideas to Kevin Cathy, both members of Quinnipiac\u2019s Improv troupe.\" data-load=\"false\" data-image-id=\"5de95e7a3c2bd300273a2f8f\" data-type=\"image\" \/>\n          <\/div><figcaption class=\"image-caption-wrapper\">\n<div class=\"image-caption\">\n<p class=\"\">Sarah Fisher expresses ideas to Kevin Cathy, both members of Quinnipiac\u2019s Improv troupe.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\">Daly teaches two improvisational acting classes at Quinnipiac and develops the students who are brave enough to try his class, like Gudelski.

She is also someone who connects improv with the real world,<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\">\u201cThere are a lot of similarities to interviewing and improvisational acting. And I also think when you get into the workplace you\u2019re dealing with a lot of different conflicting situations, and having the ability to make decisions that have a positive impact on you, your job, and your company that you work for are all great skills to have,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\">One of Carney\u2019s concerns though is that students aren\u2019t consciously connecting improv acting and job interviews.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\">\u201cThey don\u2019t connect the two necessarily consciously maybe subconsciously. I think every job interview you do is improv related and every networking opportunity that you experience has improv built in. But I don\u2019t think students consciously make that connection, but they are doing it everywhere they go,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\">Another communications expert who put these skills into action in his profession is Kenneth Venit. Venit worked in television for decades, and coached many news broadcasters who worked for the Fox News Channel and more. Part of his longevity and success, and what he taught certain broadcasters was improv.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\">\u201cIn broadcasting just everything was live in the studio. Then it became live in the field. So we had to adjust the skill set because we didn\u2019t have the filtering system of writing a lot of stories that we were going to be read first.

Venit admires the beauty of improv and how it is a healthy challenge for anyone willing to try it. <\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\">\u201cWhen its improv somebody else has led you to that point. It\u2019s not that you did something voluntarily. You are somewhere you didn\u2019t necessarily think you\u2019d be or plan to be.\u201d He continued saying, \u201cIf you think of how a meeting in a business works or even an interview, somebody else is doing so impulsively and I think there is references to it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\">Three experts echoing the importance that trying improvisational acting, and practicing this unique hobby has plenty of benefits. As college students the goal after graduation is to obtain a job in the field you love. Now more than ever students need to recognize the importance of this hidden gem that is improvisational acting. One can become one step closer, and have a step above others who want to obtain the same job in the field of that students choice.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\">The other unique thing about improvisational acting and how it relates to the work world is its diversity. The strategies of improv can also relate to professions that do not relate to communications or theater. Gina Pallanta and Bridget Kavanagh are two women who have experience in improv at Quinnipiac, Hartford, and New York City and who currently work in health science fields: Pallanta as an emergency room nurse and Kavanagh as an occupational therapist. Both recognize that within their job force body language, quick thinking, and team chemistry is vital.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\">For Pallanta, lives can be in danger if she doesn\u2019t make certain decisions quickly enough, and is grateful to have the improv experience that she does.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\">\u201cWorking with other health care professionals it\u2019s good to have that mentality because especially an emergency you don\u2019t know what\u2019s coming,\u201d Pallanta said, \u201cAnd you don\u2019t know what you\u2019re walking into and you want to have that fluid aspect to be able to be flexible.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\">Kavanagh tries to add in a humorous and conversational aspects to her work, while thinking on her feet. Both skills she learned as an improvisational actor. Using that quick humor, she makes sure her clients feel comfortable.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\">\u201cYou\u2019ve got to deal with caseloads you\u2019ve got to deal with people\u2019s disabilities. They\u2019re in a place like a nursing home that they don\u2019t really want to be,\u201d Kavanagh said, \u201cSo having that humor and having that ability to build rapport and have a conversation with these people helps motivate them.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\">Communication and health science are not the only professions improvisational acting helps with either.
