Episode 12: 'Like a Child' with Gerry Grennell

Today's podcast is a pinch me moment. I talk with Gerry Grennell, voice coach to Heath Ledger, Jonny Depp, Meryl Streep and more, on his concepts of the self.

Gerry's techniques are rooted in ideas of deep self reflection and 'Ownership'. We talk to him about these ideas, particularly that concept of 'Ownership'.

Gerry is renowned around the world as a great thinker and voice in the art of acting, particularly film, but his concepts can be valuable lessons to everyday life.

Having learned about Gerry's concepts in acting school (Bow Street Screen Acting in Dublin) the process of using the techniques he shared with us completely changed the way I approached life. I began to accept who I was in a way that I never had before, and born out of that was this podcast and everything I am so fortunate to be involved with now. If you are lost and seeking direction, going down a new career path or even interested in the human mind I think you will really love this podcast.

You will notice that during the podcast, I don't ask about the celebrities Gerry has worked with or what were they like (if you would like to know more on this search his name on youtube and there's lots of interviews to enjoy). I just felt it unnecessary, his success speaks for itself, but what we really should take from this is why he was so successful as a coach, why did these people choose to learn from him.
