Some people have actual technics they do to sort of help them warm up before they go on stage. 有些人有一些技巧 能帮助他们上舞台之前热身

There was one exercise they used to have us do in improv class,and it was this exercise called give me back my son, 在即兴表演课上 他们要我们做一种练习 名字叫把我儿子还给我

And have you ever seen the movie"Ransom" with Mel Gibson?Yeah,yeah,Ok. 你看过梅尔·吉布森的《赎金风暴》吗 看过 好的

In that movie Mel Gibson's son is kidnapped and there was a dramatic scene where he's on the phone with his son's captors 那部电影中 梅尔·吉布森的儿子被绑架了 其中有戏剧性的一幕 他跟他儿子的绑匪打电话

and he goes,give me back my son!And he's really red face and angry. 他说 把我的儿子还给我 他面红耳赤 十分生气

So the exercise,the wear the exercise worked,you would like walk up to somebody in the class and you would make eye contact. 这个练习也类似如此 你走向你的一个同学 做眼神交流

And you would have to with full rage and intensity² say,give me back my son and hold eye contact. 你愤怒起来 然后说 把我的儿子还给我 并保持眼神交流

And not laugh.And then they would do it to the next person. 不要笑场 他们会对下一个人这样做

So,How does it work? How do you get eliminated?If you laugh.You laugh.You can't laugh. 所以 这是怎么回事 怎么就算被淘汰了 笑了吗 笑了 你不能笑

You have to commit.even thought you're anxious.there's no more awkward thing to do than walk up to another adult, 你必须全神贯注 就算你很焦虑 没什么事比走向另一个成年人 冲他喊着

Scream give me back my son and hold their gaze. 把我的儿子还给我 并保持眼神交流更尴尬的事了

Would you live to try it?I think we should.Absolutely. 你想试试吗？我觉得我们该试试 没问题
