This episode of Actor’s Notes is a reflection on beginning my improv journey at Second City.

I talk about what it actually feels like to walk into that classroom, the nerves, the ego, the excitement, and the humility of starting something new. There’s a difference between wanting to grow and actually putting yourself in rooms that force you to.

Improv isn’t just about being funny. It’s about presence. Listening. Vulnerability. Trust. Letting go of control.

This episode is me documenting the process in real time, not as someone who has mastered anything, but as someone willing to be a student again.

If you’re in a season of starting, evolving, or stepping into something uncomfortable, this one is for you.
