Genre Guru have taken their years of improv and movie experience to create these unique Genre Guides.

Each Genre Guide takes a specific genre and breaks it down into the essential elements:

• What type of characters frequent the genre?
• What do they do?
• Where do they do it?
• When are the movies typically set?
• What other elements are closely associated with it or can readily identify it?
• What are some of the better known or most typical movies, actors, directors, writers, etc, of this genre?

Then there is a list of performance tips giving guidance on:

• How to play the characters.
• How to speak.
• What sort of things you can say.
• What emotions and atmospheres are key to the genre?
• What specific things or types of things you can do.
• How other players, musicians or lighting and sound people can help.
• What things should you not do or avoid doing, and why? (i.e. What things can disrupt the flow of a scene or that are so over-done an audience will just groan.)
