Lights, Camera, Insights: An Acting Coach's Journey

In this episode of Breakthrough the Couch, we’re thrilled to welcome a special guest: Matthew Corozine, Owner of MCS Theatre - a performing arts school and an acting coach who dives deep into the world of performance and the emotional journey behind the scenes. From their beginnings in the acting industry to the burnout challenges they see and face, our guest shares invaluable insights into a career that often pushes emotional limits. We discuss how therapy can serve as a powerful tool for actors, helping them manage the intense demands of embodying characters, processing complex emotions, and recovering from the toll acting can sometimes take.

Our guest gives us an insider’s view on the emotional barriers actors encounter and the psychological toll of maintaining a character long-term. They also talk about moments when actors might experience triggers, panic, or fear on set, and how they work through those moments. Tune in for a unique conversation that bridges the worlds of mental health and performance, exploring the role of resilience, self-awareness, and mental well-being in acting.

It’s an enlightening look at the mental health aspects of an often-misunderstood profession, perfect for those curious about what really happens behind the curtain!
