Say girl, that's some mad improv!

Recently, I was able to attend an audition where instead of being asked to memorize a script, they wanted to see me improv around a predetermined situation. 

For those of you who aren't familiar with the fine art that is improv, according to Urban Dictionary, improv is:

"Short for improvisation, a comedy format in which the performers make up the scene on the spot

I saw some awesome improv at comedysportz last night "

Oddly enough  it is also defined as:

"Generally used after making a ridiculously funny statement, causing even more laughter from your peers

Yo man that joke was mad improv!!! "

Because my peers are often overheard yelling  'say girl, you just laid down some mad improv!!!!' (insert laugh track here) I thought I was going to own this audition. 

I walk in to the audition room, received instruction around the scene, given my action cue and then I let my magical improv fly.After the take, the casting director didn't say 'Yo girl, that joke was some mad improv!!!' like I was expecting.  Instead, he says "Sarah, that seemed sarcastic and a little condensing." I reply with a "Yeah? Thanks!" (because obviously that was a complement) To which he replied "Oh...so that's just you being normal? Why don't we do another take where you're not that."   

Improv: 1      Sarah: 0
