COACHING
I help you shine
I work with professional actors on text, movement and voice — helping you find 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 graduated from the Moscow Art Theatre School and since then have spent years finding ways to achieve truthfulness and spontaneity in performances — what Demidov called "the art of living on stage".
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 such actors as Sir Mark Rylance, Simon Pegg and Damian Lewis. That experience gave me practical tools to help you own a self-tape, stay alive in front of the camera and be a part of the global entertainment industry.
Students I've worked with have been accepted to major drama schools, including the BA at RADA, while others have landed their first screen roles, led stage productions or signed with new agents.
I also work with anyone looking to develop their charisma, public speaking and improvisation skills — helping you bring your authentic self into every room you walk into.
I keep all my sessions fun, encouraging and supportive, creating a safe space where you can take risks, make mistakes and grow without fear.

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.”
