Testimonials:
”Matthias is a phenomenal acting coach. I always come back to his teachings, whether it be preparing for theatre or film. Matthias has an engaging, attentive and intuitive teaching style that nurtures each student’s journey. He identifies potential blocks and offers the tools to work through them in order to understand where you need to go to reach a level of higher awareness and understanding as an actor. He breaks down the multifaceted process through a vast variety of exercises which makes the task at hand tangible and approachable, no matter where you are in your acting journey.
Matthias’ workshops constitutes both individual and group exercises that shapes and forms each student and attunes to each individual level. Matthias has guided me from a fundamental level, to individual scene- and character work or auditions for schools and jobs.
There is a wisdom and deep sense of humanity in the way he approaches each character or scene, teaching us to challenge our understanding of the human experience, be conscious and present in our acting choices, never judge our experience or understanding of the character, but be curious, free and creative.” – Nina Mariko Sandquist/ Gangs of Oslo Blodsbrødre
"If you have ever thought of taking an acting class (and also if you haven't until now), I highly recommend doing the foundation workshop with Matthias. He has an amazing way of gently guiding you on this journey to explore the human experience in all of its complexity, to understand yourself and others better and how we interact. He creates a trusting environment, really brings the group together and gives perceptive, individual feedback to help everyone grow over the course of the workshop. It is the kind of intensive experience that leaves you energized and hungry for more! Couldn't recommend it more highly!" - Tanja
“I took Matthias‘ workshop as a beginner. It was one of my first acting experiences. Although I had a hard time openning up in the beginning, his sensitive individual care helped me overcome my fears and blockages. By the end of the week, not only did I perform like I had never imagined I could, but also learned a lot about myself and my abilities and strengths. I would recommend Matthias‘ workshops to anyone who wants to improve their acting by taking a deep look into their soul and grow out of self reflection...” – Rebecca Veil
"Matthias Schott is a gifted and spirited artist, and an effective curator / organizer of events, serving actors and directors all over the world. He has fused his talent for creating workshops, intensives and "happenings" of all kinds, with his own experience as an instructor, and his cultivated, keen judgement and good taste. Matthias endless curiosity and love of his art form, his city of Berlin and his fellow actors, seem to fuel his ability to selflessly give a great deal, year in and year out. - I wholeheartedly recommend working through his studio." - Seamus McNally, Coach for lead actors in: "Orange is the New Black", "Roots", "The Night Of..."
"The foundation acting course with Matthias is fantastic. It was engaging and exciting. Every exercise opened something new up and allowed us to step beyond ourselves and our habits and into a more honest place from which we could perform."
