When I create a new character, I always start with a backstory. Name. Where are they from. Likes/dislikes. Dogs/cat person. What do they eat for breakfast? And do they take a hot or cold shower? What are some of your character creation hacks?

Whenever I perform for kids and there adults are unresponsive I aways have a safe distance between myself and audience. Always let them know that in order for me to perform I have your attention. Or I won’t be able to perform .
