COACHING
I help you shine
I work with professional actors on text, movement and voice, helping you reach the next step in your career. I also teach anyone looking to develop their charisma, public speaking and improvisation skills to elevate your daily life.
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 been rigorously exploring the profession ever since. My interest lies in achieving freedom and spontaneity in the actor's creative process, so you can be fully alive and experience undeniable truth in your performances — what Demidov calls "the art of living on stage".
My expertise extends to screen acting. I hold an MA in Acting for Screen from the Royal Central School of Speech and Drama and have worked on numerous film and TV projects, collaborating with the likes of Sir Mark Rylance, Simon Pegg and Damian Lewis. This experience allowed me to develop a toolkit to help you shine in front of the camera, record your best self-tapes and be a part of the global entertainment industry.
Additionally, I offer a unique approach to developing your charisma, improvisation and public speaking, helping you become more energetic, captivating and fearless in all areas of your life, as well as unlocking the full capacity of your voice.

REVIEWS
“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.”
