We are pleased to present

Stephen Tobolowsky

The Study of Improvisation

The Kalmensons were able to join forces with a qualified actor, teacher, and lecturer to kick off their Improvisational Adventure. With a biography that could start a handsome paper drive, Stephen Tobolowsky brings with him a verve and compassion for actors second to none. Stephen shares his in-depth knowledge of Stanislavski, along with more than two hundred theatrical credits.

"Life is a constant Improvisation."
For years we've been recommending Voice Over Actors to study improv...
