"Hi guys. We're learning how to play some Improv games today. And, now Dan B. and I are going to teach you how to play Little Voice. To play Little Voice, you're going to need two improvisers. One who's on stage and one who's not. At that point and time, your host is going to get a suggestion from the audience about a location. The one player is going to begin doing a one person scene up on the stage. And, the player that is down off the stage is going to be the voice of an object that one might interact with when in the scene. This could be any little creature in the forest. It could be something that you find in the kitchen like a cup or inanimate object. The little voice can be anything. But, the fun is to watch the player on stage interact with this fictional voice offstage. Dan, you want to be the little voice? Alright. Awesome, thanks. If you just want to kind of crouch down there. And, I'll just go ahead and do a scene and speak loud enough for the camera to hear you and we'll be good to go. Can I get a suggestion from the audience? Bathroom, ok I'm in the bathroom. Alright. Hey, what are you doing? I know you're trying to soften up my bristles. But, that water is really cold first thing in the morning. What? You heard me, come on man. Be a little more respectful. I mean, I'm just waking up this morning to you know? No, my toothbrush can't be talking to me. Oh, I'm talking to you and another thing. How come you haven't use me, it's been like three days man. Quiet! You be quiet! No! Did you just bite me? Maybe. Listen, I don't know what's going on here. But, I don't need a talking toothbrush. Oh yeah, I tell you what you do need. You need more toothpaste! Because, your teeth stink. Woah, woah settle down there. I'll put some toothpaste on you. Just keep it down, will you? My wife's in the other room. Alright. I guess you're right. Teeth can't really stink. It's probably just your breath. And, that's how you play Little Voice."
