| '''Brent Chismark''' is a stage and technical improvisor and transplant from Metro Detroit, MI.
| |
| | |
| | |
| == Summary ==
| |
| Brent's earliest improv experience comes from playing basic short-form games in high school acting classes and as part of rehearsals for scripted productions.
| |
| | |
| After providing some technical consulting to the pilot episode of the ''Tales from [[The Black Vault]]'' podcast, and making the decision to move to Austin, he joined the ''Tales from The Black Vault'' team as a production engineer in 2015, working remotely on around half of the first season's episodes.
| |
| | |
| On arriving in Austin in June of 2015, he started taking classes at [[The Hideout Theatre]], joining [[Andy Crouch]]'s Level 1, continuing with Level 2 with [[Jessica Arjet]] and [[Kareem Badr]] and then through levels 3-6 with his cohort (known as "Zippy Spork") and Kareem.
| |
| | |
| In December of 2015, Brent participated in his first [[Maestro Raw]], winning the coveted CAD$5.
| |
| | |
| His first foray into Technical Improvising was with the 2016 run of [[Austin Secrets]] in March/April, where he worked on that show's interstitial scoring. Later, he created the "hosting" video sequences for the May/June 2016 run of [[Fiasco]], and was enlisted to create the opening video animation for [[How I Saved the World Over Summer Vacation]] during its May-June 2017 run.
| |
| | |
| In late 2017, he used his knowledge of TV production as a technical advisor to [[Local on the Eights]] which is the first Hideout show to include a live simulated TV broadcast as part of each show.
| |
| | |
| Outside of improv, Brent works remotely for an IT Outsourcing company as "the guy that makes pretty graphs that show how well we're doing our job." He also has a history of "minor fame and infamy" in the contemporary a cappella community.
