The Actor's Nervous System

The Actor’s Nervous System is a podcast exploring acting, embodiment, and the nervous system. Hosted by AEA actor, teacher, and MFA-trained performer Brian Zane, the show features insights from experts, artists, and practitioners across a range of disciplines. It examines how presence, tension, breath, and emotional truth emerge through regulation rather than effort. Drawing from the Demidov technique, classical training, somatic practices, and conversations with people across fields, each episode asks what happens in the body when we perform, create, and connect.
