Little Voice

Description

One player plays an improvized scene. The other player(s) play the voice(s) of objects in the environment in which the first player plays.

Anything can have a voice. Examples:

• a player walks in a forest and an ant starts talking to him
• a player is in the bathroom and his toothbrush starts talking

Variations

You can script the text of the little voice, and have the player justify anything that is said. See Actor`s Nightmare . See Evil Stick of Gum for a different variation of the same improv game.

Notes

Make sure players immediately make clear what exactly is doing the talking. Either the voice makes this clear, or the other player:

• Oh my god, a talking duck with a machine gun!
• Bet you`ve never seen a talking couch, have you?

Play Name the Monster in combination with this game. Also known as Speck.
