COACHING
I help actors shine
I love acting. I’ve been working in this profession for over 10 years and it never ceases to excite me. It is my biggest passion in life, and I want to share my passion with you.
As a coach, I work in an engaging and warm way. However big or small the task is, I want to make sure that you first of all feel empowered, confident, and inspired. I believe that the key to great performances is an actor who feels free and can open up without fear.
My coaching is based on the tradition of Russian dramatic training, particularly in the work of Stanislavsky. I went through rigorous training at the Moscow Art Theatre School and have years of professional experience, which allowed me to find the best working techniques by trial and error. I am also passionate about Meisner technique and use it in my work.
My expertise also extends to screen acting. I hold an MA in Acting for Screen from the Royal Central School of Speech and Drama and I worked on numerous film and TV projects, including collaborating with such amazing actors as Sir Mark Rylance and Damien Lewis. This allowed me to not only learn from the best, but also develop working tools to help you shine in front of the camera, record your best self-tapes, and be a part of the global entertainment industry.

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.”
