On Misophonia & Improv with Sabrina Banes

Learn about misophonia - what it means to have this condition, and how it affects your improv practice.

Very excited about this ep! This week I am joined by Sabrina Banes, an improviser who has a condition called misophonia.

Sabrina Banes is an improviser and Tarot reader who lives in Brooklyn with her two cats, Shumai and Althea. She currently performs with her longform indie teams, Jace Spam and Dolly Lana, and with her Improv College narrative house team, Oops! We Fell In Love. Find Sabrina online: Instagram and Linktree.

In this episode we discuss what misophonia is like to experience, how it affects scene work and classes, and how to find your voice when you need to seek access needs and accommodate yourself. Sabrina has great advice to offer in this episode.
