Today I am speaking about verbal processors and how they fit into an improv team (scene), or class environment.
So the episodes being released right now are about giving and getting notes (feedback) in improv. One thing that I haven’t covered in these episodes about notes is how verbal processors weather the notes part of an improv session.
And of course, there are wider implications on improv as well.
In this bonus episode I cover
What verbal processing is.
How this is different than auditory processing difficulties.
How verbal processors use verbal processing, and why they do this?
What are some of the learning/teachings challenges in improv sessions — are there are ways to meet this need (even partially)?
What can we do to support verbal processors in the scene – what are the strengths, and the challenges?
The thoughts in this mini-ep are basically me… processing verbal processing in improv! Fun. My hope is these mini episodes might start some thought processes out there regarding these topics, and lead to a longer researched non-paywalled episode at a later time on this same subject for the wider community to access.
Hope you enjoy and let me know what you think!
