An Introduction

by scott.hearne »

I've met a ton of folks here in the Austin Improv Community, however, it is time for me to properly introduce myself on this forum.

My name is Scott T. Hearne and I grew up in Shreveport, LA.

Before I lived in Austin, I lived in Olympia, WA. It was a dark time in my life and I wasn't doing anything creative. Working a desk job and slowly dying each day.

I moved to Austin in December 2010. I was muddling around, staying home too much most of 2011. In the Fall of 2011, I started researching different performance opportunities. I listened to a ton of comedy podcasts: WTF? w/Marc Maron, Adam Carolla, Comedy Bang Bang!, and others.

I learned about improv. A lot of comedic actors and stand up comedians got their start doing improv and I wanted to try it out. After some digging online, I discovered the improv mixers at SVT. I mustered up my courage and took the plunge. I was hooked! I loved all the warm ups and when it came time to do open scene work at the end of the mixer, I was lost.

It was apparent I needed training. So, I enrolled in an improv class at Merlin Works. The rest is history. I no longer view improv merely as a gateway to other performance opportunities. Improv is a viable art form on its own. I'm addicted to improv and I want to continue to challenge myself as a performer and continue to grow.

Thanks for reading.

I love playing with Scott in the Seven Eight Sevens.

He is humble, playful, funny, and does great characters.

Wonderful guy.
