Trust me this game is loads of fun - to play it you will need
1: An actor 2 : A sound provider, and 3: A scenario
It helps if you have something to make your voice louder as well (ideally a microphone and amp), but it's not essential.
The actor goes to the front of the playing area and the audience have to give him a scene/scenario to act out. It helps if the suggestion isn't too specific, so that there is room for variety and for the actor and sound effects guy to play with the idea.
Once the scene is decided it's time to start the game. During the game the actor cannot make any verbal noises or communicate with anyone outside of the scene. It is a mime scene no props are needed. While actor is miming the noise provider supplies the sound effects that they think should go along with the actions.
This is a funny game to watch and play because it can turn weird at certain points especially if the wrong sound effects are given and the actor has to work them into the scene. Here's an example from, 'Whose Line is it Anyway,' with Colin being the actor and Ryan the sound provider.
Enjoy!!
