"The basic idea of one idea, one comment, is that whoever speaks first in an improvised scene has created the what of the scene. The next person to speak, the partner, provides the comment to the what.
Person one: I think it's a beautiful day.
Person two: I couldn't agree with you more. Beautiful days make me happy.
In this case the idea is: I think it's a beautiful day. The comment is: I agree and it makes me happy.
Technically, those two ideas, that the day is pretty and that the other person happily agreed is all this scene needs to be about. From this point forward, it is all about heightening that idea. And exploring it.
In short, focus right out of the gate on what is being said and how you feel about it. It is an artificial way to get you to express your point of view early in a scene, and then stick to it."
