Meet Gil Polk
"I was inspired to utilize applied improv to help people and organizations discover its many personal benefits and illuminate more fun, focus, and lightness in their lives. I can help people find and express their voice—whether that’s through a microphone, a message, or a melody. In acting, practicing the mindset of improv can inspire fresh and intuitive new perspectives and interpretations on text and intention, whether filming your on-camera scenes, giving your all at auditions, or performing your role live on stage. Let’s connect if you’re passionate about communication, creativity, or purposeful storytelling—in all its forms."―Gil
