Do you find Improv to just flow on its own, like when you are out with a bunch of friends and the conversation seems like it is in control of itself? Does it seem to need no thought, it is just you coming through? (Not to imply that it is something anyone can do, or should be doing!)

Ideally, it should flow as you described. You should feel as though you are watching your own performance in a way.
