Matt Aromando

Hello, I'm interested in coaching your improv and sketch teams!

In improv, I like to focus on listening, relationships, game, and keeping scenes grounded. I can also help practicing forms such as the Harold, Monoscene, La Ronde, Expansion, Deconstruction, Spokane, Slacker, Montage, Free Form, Armando, Pinata, Living Room, and more.

For sketch, I will help find the best idea to make your sketches shine. Often it just takes someone else giving the sketch a look at to see where it can be improved and focused.
