A callback of sorts! We revisit the topic of being the Voice of Reason (formally and sexistly knowing as Straight Man). We explain how to be the voice of reason while keeping the scene moving, how to not be a stick in the mud, and how to keep yourself from being not fun. Is it possible to be a character AND the voice of reason? What kind of influence can a voice of reason have a wacky scene. How can you practice being an effective voice of reason?

We also rip off Back to the Future... hard.

Find out all of Matt & Brian's opinions on improv, or at least Voice of Reason in Improv, in 15 minutes! Our Facebook page is HERE Our Twitter handle is: @minutes_game (correct, no "15" in the handle)
