Inside Acting

In Episode 251, Trev and AJ share what’s new in the membership, an exciting upcoming IAP event, and discuss what a mindfulness practice for actors might look like—and how to add it to your toolbox. Then they sit down for Part 2 of their chat with returning superstar guest Steve Rohr and psychologist, author, and executive coach Dr. Shirley Impellizzeri—co-authors of the book Scared Speechless: 9 Ways to Overcome Your Fears and Captivate Your Audience.

The conversation dives deep into the timeless principles that anybody can employ to effectively ‘play the room’ and build immediate rapport with others at social gatherings, the various ways we consciously (and subconsciously) communicate our intentions and truth to others, how to leverage the power of rituals, routines, and habits to, as Tony Robbins might say, put us “in state,” how curiosity is the antidote to judgement, and more. Total running time: 1:08:11.

Then they sit down for the first of a fascinating two-part interview with publicist and popular returning IAP guest Steve Rohr and psychologist Dr. Shirley Impellizzeri to discuss  the book they’ve co-authored: Scared Speechless: 9 Ways to Overcome Your Fears and Captivate Your Audience.
