Comedy
comedy is
an exact science, you must learn the science
frame the joke
| 1. |
The track has to be continuous until
the beat before the joke. |
The
skill of the comedy beat: |
The first thing you have to
do is study your script and you have to make a
mark where you believe the laughs are. This way you leave room for the
audience to react. Your laughs come from your
knowledge of them, not accidentally. |
String of words, try to find all the
beats. |
Get
factual. Don't punch anything until something ridiculous. "Beat" before you want
them to laugh. |
Don't do
all the punch line with each line.
The joke
has to be perfectly framed (cleaning up the joke). Don't
bury a joke because you went by it as if it was of no importance.
"In the end, it
can't look like acting."
