Synopsis

This book will show you how to play 12 characters in one minute. It is for comedians, writers, essayist, sketch comedy, online content creation, sales professionals and anyone who enjoys making people laugh. Playing multiple characters rapidly sounds crazy. Only a few people in the world are known for doing it well. Robin Williams, Andy Kaufman...it's a short list. Today we have the technology, the exercises, and techniques available to allow anyone to create and portray endless characters. I would compare it to running a marathon. The first Boston Marathon was in 1897. 15 participants ran, but only 10 finished. A task that seemed impossible more than one years later draws more than 35,000 participants. Today anyone who learns how to train, eat and puts the time in can run a marathon. Comedy, creativity and the ability to portray characters will also explode in numbers. It wont take 100 years.

This booklet also includes excerpts from "The Outliars Interviews" including Bill Burr, Iliza Schlesinger, Doug Stanhope, writers, screenwriters, and many more.
