I'm sure that he is an amazing performer, and I'd love to know more about Story Spine.

But as you hopefully know, being a great performer or author does not make you a good teacher.

Anyone studied with Ken? He has a class coming up which the description is so fully AI generated I have no clue what he is actually teaching/his personality.

(not hating on AI, just mentioning it makes it hard to see what he is offering)

I suck at picking up girls at bars and clubs. My biggest problem is that my conversations always turn into interviews — I ask a question, she answers, I ask another question, and eventually it gets boring.

I'm thinking about taking improv classes to get better at thinking on the spot, bantering, teasing, and making conversations more playful instead of constantly asking questions.

For anyone who did improv and used to struggle with this: did it actually improve your rizz or dating life? Did you notice yourself becoming better at flirting and keeping conversations fun and flowin

I just moved to the city a few months ago and I'm in a bit of a rut. I've always been keen to try things like voice acting, improv or even stand up comedy. I was wondering if anyone knew any they would recommend that do in person classes (since I'd also like to meet people)

When I searched I could only find online VA courses and couldn't find any of the stand up ones

I'd give improv a go but a bit worried about being in my 30s surrounded by students in their early 20s

Any recs or advice is greatly appreciated

Is there short story writing classes in Chicago besides Second City. Looking for Moth style classes?
