Marco Rigazio

As host of "The Cognitive Performer," I blend my professional voice acting expertise with a deep passion for cognitive science to explore how our brains can enhance our creative performance and resilience.

My journey began with a Masters degree in Exercise Science, where I first became fascinated with the science of human performance. This academic foundation, combined with my years as a professional voice actor, gives me a unique perspective on the mind-performance connection.

Throughout my career, I've witnessed how understanding mental processes transforms my creative work. My experience in improv and acting classes, voice lessons and ongoing coaching to hone my skills, further deepened my appreciation for how neuroscience principles can be applied to artistic expression.

Each episode of "The Cognitive Performer" draws on this background as I interview leading experts and share evidence-based strategies on topics ranging from neuroplasticity and flow states to emotional regulation and burnout prevention.

Whether you're a voice actor, performer, or professional seeking to strengthen your "mind muscle," this podcast translates cutting-edge cognitive science into practical techniques you can apply immediately to your craft and life.

Join me monthly as we explore the fascinating intersection of brain science and peak performance.
