EP 38: Robyn Deverett: Physiotherapist & Actor

Second Act Actors

Today’s guest on the Second Act Actors podcast is the funny, quirky and lovely Robyn Deverett, the self-styled ‘Acting Physiotherapist’. Robyn acted in a lot of school plays but eventually decided to pursue a career in physiotherapy. However, being Robyn, she found a way to combine the two and uses her acting and comedy skills to provide education on physiotherapy and particularly on the importance of exercising your pelvic floor. She regularly shares videos about pelvic floor and other essential physio-recommended exercises.

We discuss the problems of working in the healthcare system today and how acting can be an escape from your first act career burnout. Robyn shares some great tips with me on how to access your emotions and tells me how she learnt to cry on command in auditions. We also talk about why actors need to keep supporting other actors, despite the competitive nature of the industry.

To hear other fun, entertaining interviews with passionate actors, make sure that you subscribe or follow the Second Act Actors podcast wherever you get your podcasts.
