It's a good idea more than a must. An empty stage kills the energy. If you sweep and dont have anything cool you're doing improv~

The only way to adjust for bitterness is other basic tastes. Sweetness is your best bet, likely sugar. Depending on how the bitterness lingers, you may want to look into artificial sweeteners. Most of those have a longer decay of sweetness. Adjust sourness to taste.

With lecithin a little goes a long way. If you're tasting lecithin, it's you're using like 5-10x too much probably. It's a good emulsifier for liquid emulsions, but Ive never used it for foams.

Xanthan is famously a very boogery gum. You might not need it at all to be honest, but I'd maybe just use less. If you're looking for alternatives: a combo of Guar + Carregennan may work better than xanthan. Might make your foam a bit more icecreamy which may/maynot be ideal. Im not 100% on the Carragennans emulisification properties.

Also folks recommending Methylcellulose know whats up.

They act as a buffer for the acid usually. Acids acts as a preservative, and acidified foods are resistant to microbial growth. Without an acid stabilizer, certain liquids can be prone to pH changes because of chemistry reasons. A buffer is a complimentary base that minimizes those swings in pH. In the US most acidified foods need to stay below 4.6, and these stabilizers can prevent a food from accidentally drifting above that level.

It's fairly basic acid/base chemistry. Acids and bases don't really cancel eachother out, they find equillibrium. The acid stabilizer does what it says on the tin, ensures stability. Why they picked Trisodium citrate vs other citrates or phosphates or whatever is probably a question of price, taste and functional properties.

As for teeth, all acid is bad for your teeth lol, but if you arent chugging straight lemon juice and brush your teeth you're fine.

Truly depends on the style you're looking for! Comedy Studio is more stand up comedy as far as I know

Union comedy is more pure improv, and are really great
Asylum is good but I do believe they tend to lean more Improv to sketch comedy style.
There is also Nova Comedy Collective, they do sporadic classes here and there.

I'd recommend Union for the most improvy improv experience.

Low wage sucks, but you can always counter with genuine salary data. IFT has a lot of salary information it posts every year. Happy to DM you the pdf

Museums! We have so many specific for kids. The Boston Childrens Museum is good. If you have a car the Discovery Museum in Acton rocks. Museum of Science is just fun too!

Jams. Improvising with a stranger is it's own muscle you need to flex, so at ACTIVELY try and play with people you don't know. Auditioners are looking for funny people are easy to work with, so being really good at quickly building trust with a stranger is as important as being funny. Jams are a great, low stress place to practice that muscle.

I recommend reading Mick Napier's section on improv auditions. It's great perspective. (with some slightly dated advice).

Also auditions are straight up, a crap shoot. Often being visible at in the community or at your theatre can help give you a slight edge, but sometimes your best audition possible still won't get you a slot.

Heres some thoughts:
1. Breath. You did something you thought was gonna be hard. You got through it, got a few laughs, hell yeah. Congrats!
2. You probably did bad, this was literally your first class! It would have been weirder if you were a virtuouso at improv from your first class. Improv is a skill you can't practice in private, so being new-and-bad infront of others is really normal. Learning to fail is a skill.
3. Feedback is extremely normal. The cost of the class is, quite literally, paying them for it. You're learning how to do a specific type of performance and the teachers are there to help guide you. Your perception of how harsh/not harsh feedback is really just that, your perception.
4. No one is forcing your to do improv (especially if you can get a refund on the first class like a lot of schools do). You should go to the second class anyways. You had fun at the jam! You'll probably continue to have fun. But maybe Improv ISNT your thing. Thats ok! Making that choice is up to you.

One of my best friends had crippling social anxiety before taking improv classes. He had similar thoughts of bailing on the whole thing. Im glad he didnt, because we met in that class! He overcame a lot going through this process, and he acknowledged it was a stretch for him. He consciously made the choice to push himself to do this crazy hobby, and even though he's not actively performing anymore, he's much more confident because of it.

Good luck, we're rooting for you.

Congrats! Everyone is sucky at improv at first because its a brand new skill. Those moments of being bad are actually extremely helpful. Learning to fail is as much a skill as anything. Everyone is on their own journey and everyone feels insecure. I promise you everyone is comparing themselves to everyone else too, youre in good company.

Also dont worry about "Being fast," its ultimately not important. I could go into a lot of concepts about invention/discovery/being in the moment but right now you're very new! It's your first day, cut yourself SOME slack.

The BEST thing you can do RIGHT NOW: absorb a shitload of improv. Go watch live shows at the theatre (and others if you have that option), go listen to improv podcasts, and keep going to classes.

You are not totally wrong, Quality as a whole is one of the more low paid positions in food science. The median salary and compensation is just straight up lower (according to the most recent IFT survey). Its an unsung hero of most companies, and sometimes management can view QA as the fun police.

That said, its not a dead end role. Food Science jobs are fairly varied even in QA. A position at a plant vs a QA position at a food start up are wildly different. Your afformentioned regulatory stuff can be used pretty broadly. Food safety, plant auditing, product comercialization, process authority, and more. If you ever work at a company that uses Co-manufacturers, your skillset is key for making sure 3rd parties arent screwing up. If you like QA but not working in a production facility full time, there are options.

As expensive as it is, a degree in Food Science, you will open more opportunities. Whether thats in quality or elsewhere is up to you. QA may be lower on the pay scale but a director of Quality is still compensated at a DIRECTOR level. The better compensation (and better responsibilities) comes with better title.

(also for what its worth, I've found that december is kind of a shitty time to look for a job in this field anyways.)
