Sounds Heard:  This is a longer clip than usual, but I wanted to record the entire warm-up.  My improv troupe is in tech week for a show, and we have late night rehearsals at which we first warm up by taking turns sharing a story while leading a group stretch.  I made the mistake of asking my troupe if I could record them beforehand, so they can at first be heard making jokes about it, while the troupe leader Will tries to rein in their focus.  We then take turns telling stories.  At various points (usually at the start of a new stretch), moaning and groaning can be heard when the story-telling troupe member attempts a particularly difficult stretch.  You can also hear from time to time (like during Annie’s cantaloupe story) the volume of the storyteller’s voice increasing as he or she moves to the floor and closer to my phone for a stretch.
