Improv: Sound Offer Demo

We're talking about yes send, how to make an offer, accept that offer and build on to that offer with something connected to it. Right now we're going to be focusing on the kinds of offers that are Sound Offers. These are our sound effects, they might happen in conjunction with the physical offer or space work. It might be something that's a voice over or an be it sound that might give you an idea of a location. All these things are sound offers. They're not words, they're sounds, or noises that might happen in the world of the scene. So Shannon now is going to make a sound offer, we're going to take a look at that sound offer and we're going to see how I would yes send that sound offer. "Paging Dr. Williams, Dr. Williams. Paging Dr. Williams on phone 107". Excellent. So that's a sound offer, paging Dr. Williams and that gives us a sense of place. I heard we're on a hospital. And to me, my character might be Dr. Williams. So, there's also a little bit of plot involve there, some kind of emergency where Dr. Williams is needed. So this time, Shannon's going to going to repeat that sound offer and I'm going to yes into it. "Paging Dr. Williams, paging Dr. Williams. Dr. Williams on phone 107". Okay, did you see that? When did she go? She go to the pager phone. Yeah. So, sometimes, so the way I accepted that sound offer was by making a physical offer, I move across the stage or a character offer, became a doctor. So, that's a little bit about making a sound offer and accepting and yes ending that offer in this sound offer demonstration.
