COACHING

I help you shine

I work with professional actors on text, movement and voice — helping you move past competence into something more dangerous: genuine freedom on stage and screen.

My acting coaching is based on the tradition of Russian dramatic training, particularly the work of Nikolai Demidov and Konstantin Stanislavsky. I studied at the Moscow Art Theatre School and have spent years in rigorous pursuit of what Demidov called

"the art of living on stage" — finding pathways to undeniable truth in performance.

I hold an MA in Acting for Screen from the Royal Central School of Speech and Drama, and have worked across film and television alongside actors including Sir Mark Rylance, Simon Pegg and Damian Lewis. That experience shaped a practical approach to camera work: how to own a self-tape, stay alive in front of the camera, and be a part of the global entertainment industry.

 

The same principles — spontaneity, presence, an unlocked voice — apply beyond the stage. I work with anyone looking to develop their charisma, public speaking and improvisation: not to perform better, but to show up more fully in whatever room you're in.

TESTIMONIALS

“German is an excellent self-taping coach. I often don't like to do too much prep beforehand to avoid overthinking - German helped me take the scene apart as well filmed it, to identify the character's essential want and clarify the core relationships. Using Meisner and hypnosis, he helped me to relax and make me fully available to my impulses. As a result of this tape, I booked a big TV job.”

Michael Tcherepashenets (actor, London)

"Wow! Where to start? German helped to get my first lead in the UK for a musical. His coaching made a huge difference during the self-tape process and for the in-person auditions. He made me feel comfortable and relaxed, think in different scenarios where I just had to be myself. After that, he often coached me for self-tapes and I've had a call back after his lesson, so I can tell his coaching helps a lot!"

Juan José Galeano Pareja (actor, London)

"I’ve got my first role in a British TV series for Channel 4! Thanks a lot to German for preparing of the self tape and supporting me. He is a cool guy."

Nikolay Mulakov (actor, London)

“German’s extensive knowledge and artistic generosity, has allowed me to re-gain confidence in my craft. With his support and advice I have been able to stretch my skills and challenge myself to find new forms of truth and depth in my work. His professionalism and commitment to the craft, allows students to gain invaluable advice and support in a precarious industry. I would highly recommend German’s expertise for anyone who is seeking support in audition prep and continual practice.”
