I have been taking improv classes for a while. Compared to going out alone and approaching and getting blown out over and over again, this has been waaay better. I am a much better at talking shit and self-amusement.

I have heard that certain MPUAs take acting, and some have suggested toastmasters as well.

I know toastmasters is cheap, but money is not really the major concern here. Time is. I have a demanding job and cant go out 7 nights every week.

I come from a very introverted background for ~ 26 years. I didnt have a good wing/mentor, probably why I didnt improve fast. I have found that these improv classes, even though they dont involve the opposite sex or pickup was much better because they gave me immidiate feedback of what I was doing wrong. Having done 7 months of improve, I am thinking I will continue for this year atleast.

I am trying to understand if Meisner technique/acting classes/toastmasters will be helpful.

Please comment if you have direct experience with acting/toastmasters/improv or know anybody who has done this.

P.S. I know the common suggestion will be to go out more. I have done that. Didnt help. Around 5-6 of my friends also did that. None of them improved, actually got worse and worse.. The popular advice of going out and approaching more women and more women, going out solo etc is pretty much bullshit, and only incorporates bad habits and social skills, if you dont have proper feedback mechanisms.
