The Comedy Arena Training Center

Have you ever wondered how people make up songs on improv shows like“Whose Line is it Anyway”?, or improvise a musical? Laura Hall (Musical Director, “Whose Line Is ItAnyway?”, The Second City Chicago) andJessica Joy (Actor, Modern Family, Chicago Med, The Second City Chicago) teach music improv workshops that will show you how it’s done. You’ll work with two seasoned improvisers and get two different perspectives; from an experienced improv actor and musician. Laura & Jessica create a lively, supportive environment where you can grow, explore and move out of your comfort zone, starting with warm-ups and games to help ease into singing. You'll build vocal confidence and learn to listen to each other and the accompaniment.

We’ll look at musical form and structure, rhyming, harmony singing, communicating with a Musical Director and more. All in a positive setting where you can explore, stretch out, and most importantly, have fun. Before you know it, you'll be belting out your own great improvised songs!

You’ll play loads of song games! You’ll do rhyming exercises and games like Irish Drinking Song. You’ll do word-at-a-time songs like Three Headed Singer, and line-at-a-time songs like Conducted Song. You’ll play scenic games like Bartender and That Sounds Like a Song (aka Sing It). You’ll never have to be afraid of singing in a short form show again!
