    The Power of a Human Storyteller with Special Guest - Elise Arsenault

    Send us a Message - let us know what you think of the episode Today we’re diving into an area of the industry experiencing somewhat of a boom – audiobooks. We wanted to speak to someone who not only understands that world, but who’s shaping it from the inside. Our guest in this episode is Elise Arsenault – she’s an award-winning audiobook narrator, actor, coach, and entrepreneur. Throughout her career, she’s narrated close to 200 audiobooks, as well as providing voiceover for commercials and video games. Elise is also the founder of The Global Actor, host of the Global Actor podcast, and creator of the The Great Audiobook Adventure – a program that’s specifically designed to help actors break into and build thriving careers in the audiobook industry. Most recently, she delivered a fantastic TEDx talk titled, The Power of a Human Storyteller in the Age of AI. If you haven’t seen or heard it yet, it’s a heartfelt, timely argument for why human voices still matter. So, today, we’re exploring all of it: Elise’s journey, her craft, the ever-evolving audiobook industry, and exactly what role humans still play in a world that seems to be increasingly full of synthetic voices.

    Don't Believe Your Thoughts

    Send us a Message - let us know what you think of the episode This time of year can be great – but also quite intense. There are more expectations on us, more emotions at play, and more stories circling in our heads about family, money, the future, and how we think we should think and feel about those things. Today’s episode looks at a simple idea from the teachings of Sri Ramana Maharshi that cuts straight through all that noise: you are not your thoughts. What’s interesting about this century old spiritual teaching is how it aligns with modern psychology and points to the same wisdom: to stop wrestling with your thoughts and instead change your relationship to them. We talk about how to do that in a world that seems so full of anxiety and fear and how to remain present when the mind is trying to run the show (which, around Christmas time, it usually is).

    Making a Living Whilst Making Your Art: The Curator Method with Anne Alexander-Sieder

    Send us a Message - let us know what you think of the episode This week we are joined by Anne Alexander-Sieder - an American actor, podcaster and coach based in Germany. She’s someone who rebuilt her creative life from the ground up. After taking a sixteen-year break from acting and living far from the industry, she found her way back through a process she calls The Curator Method. She’s since gone on to found Act Bold Training and create The Escape Route Challenge - a five-day journey that helps artists build better connections, break through obstacles, and find the people who can take them to the next level. In this conversation, we explore some of the biggest questions every artist faces: How do we make a living while staying true to our art? How do we balance family, career, and creative purpose? What’s the difference between our job - the thing that pays the rent - and our work - the thing that feeds the soul? Anne shares how the solution to most of our creative struggles can often be found inside the problem itself - and why the secret to getting what we need is often found through service and giving. We also talk about getting off the hamster wheel of comparison, celebrating the small wins, and choosing thoughts that serve our artistry rather than our ego. This is a conversation about how to stay connected to your purpose, even when life pulls you in a dozen different directions.   The Escape Route Challenge (10th-14th Nov): https://www.actboldtraining.com/escape-route-challenge The Escape Route Free Workbook: https://www.actboldtraining.com/escape-route-playbook Act Bold Training: https://www.actboldtraining.com/   Support us on Patreon: www.patreon.com/TheSpiritualPsychologyofActingPodcast If you’d like to get in touch with us, you can do so by emailing podcast@spiritualpsychologyofacting.com If you have any feedback, thoughts, topics you think we should cover in future episodes or questions about the Spiritual Psychology of Acting…whatever it is, we’d love to hear from you.   Follow us: Instagram:  SPOA - https://www.instagram.com/spiritual_psychology_of_acting/ John Osborne Hughes - https://www.instagram.com/john.o.hughes1/ Jordan Turk – https://www.instagram.com/jordan.turk/ Twitter: SPOA - https://twitter.com/spiritualacting John Osborne Hughes - https://twitter.com/JOsborneHughes Jordan Turk - https://twitter.com/jordantheturk   An Awakened State Production Support the show

    Know Yourself, Be Yourself

    Send us a Message - let us know what you think of the episode One of the big themes of this podcast is how acting and life are completely intertwined – the craft of acting isn’t just about performance, it’s about understanding yourself, other people, and the world we live in. And that’s exactly what this conversation is about. In just a few weeks, John will be running a brand new course. And this isn’t just another acting workshop – it’s something far richer, giving you the practical tools to understand yourself on the deepest level. So, whether you’re an artist looking to free yourself up creatively, or someone who just wants to live with more clarity, joy and purpose – what we’re talking about today is for you. In the episode, we unpack what the course is all about, go through the Three Higher Purposes of Human Life that forms the spine of the course, and how its lessons apply both on stage and screen and in everyday life.

    Building a Successful Career with Special Guest Richard Brake

    Send us a Message - let us know what you think of the episode We conclude our third season of the podcast by chatting to the brilliant, Richard Brake. If you don’t recognise the name, you will most definitely recognise the face as Richard has starred in a ton of movies and tv series over the last 20 years. After landing a supporting role in Christopher Nolan’s Batman Begins, Richard began to break out in the 2005 film Doom, Steven Spielberg’s Munich, and Hannibal Rising. Since then, he’s had a vast and varied career, not just in movies but in television as well, appearing in Peaky Blinders, Ray Donnovan, The Mandalorian, and most famously as the Night King in the HBO series, Game of Thrones. Richard is a fantastically versatile actor but he’s particularly adept at playing villains, monsters and psychopaths, as is evident in his work in horror films like Mandy, Barbarian, and as fan favourite Doomhead in Rob Zombie’s 31. Despite being scarily good in his horror roles, Richard has a warm, down-to-earth, lovely nature. It was especially good to get to chat with him as he worked with John early on in his career, studying the Spiritual Psychology of Acting. We discuss the impact that had on his life as well as the turning points that helped him build the career he has today.

    Send us a Message - let us know what you think of the episode This week’s episode is the final part of our mini-series on Transactional Analysis so if you haven’t listened to the previous three parts, do go back and check those out before listening to this one. Our final part is all about Life Scripts – the unconscious life plans we pick up in childhood, often without even knowing it. We’ll be breaking down the different types of Scripts, find out the characteristics of each of them and how they might be playing out in your own life right now. This chat that we had with our resident expert, Sarah Lowes, will not only help you uncover the script you might be living but also guide you on how to re-write it. Because once you know your script, you gain the power to change it! So, if you’re ready to take a closer look at the story you’ve been living, and maybe even start drafting a new chapter, then this episode is definitely for you.
