How is it that the shy child ends up training to be an actor, and forging a successful career in acting? In this episode, Imogen Church talks about her route into acting, why being a voiceover artist is the dream job and about forcing herself to go to events that she dreads. She talks about how some of her friends simply don't believe that she's shy and how it's only in recent years that she's begun to accept this part of her personality and create boundaries. Together, we explore whether shyness might make you more productive. And we chat about her years as a burlesque dancer.

I’m going to keep it short, as this podcast is mostly about hearing from other shy people - their stories, journeys, experiences, the barriers they’ve faced - and overcome. But today, I just wanted to say a quick hello from me - a shy writer, entrepreneur, coach and mother. And to share a few notes about the science of shyness, my own shyness and how shyness can be a superpower...
