Be brave
Be brave on stage and don't be nervous if you are brave then you won't worry so your act will be better.

Be authentic
Be original come up with your own ideas of what you want to do don't use anyone else idea but build upon others ideas.
The don'ts
Don't ask questions
Don't ask questions is to just not ask questions during improve because it ruins the flow of the scene.
Don't use props
Don't use props during improve because they only have one purpose and they can't really be used for anything else.
Don't dictate actions
Don't dictate actions is simply don't tell others what to do during improve as well as don't say what you yourself are doing.
Don't Negotiate
Don't negotiate during improve about anything relating to the scene as to what you want to happen you just have to go with it.
