"Matthias, an acting teacher himself, has created wise and profound journeys for the actor. He is sympathetic to the students’ concerns and questions, and if necessary, can effectively communicate them to the teacher. During my workshop, Matthias was invaluable in helping to create the atmosphere of trust, which allowed all of us the freedom to achieve our individual gifts. It was important that the students could speak to Matthias, especially at the beginning of the workshop when we were all getting to know one another. He was a valued member of our group, and everything was organized in such a Wise Knowing Way.” – Sandra Seacat

„I’m a director and acting teacher and I want t say what a wonderful resource the Schott Acting Studio is for actors, directors and all people active in theatre, film and television. I have had the great pleasure and experience of working with Matthias Schott over the years, taking his own online-classes which are some of the best I’ve experienced – inspiring and offering great knowledge of craft – and also benefiting from our in-depth conversations and the work with the many international teachers that he has invited to give classes in his studio. This has opened new doors for me and helped me to discover and learn about different techniques and approaches to work from around the world. In all respects, I think the Schott Acting Studio is unique.“ – Mike Alfreds (Theatre Director UK, Author of „Different Every Night“, „Then What Happens?“, „What Actors Do“)

„Schott Acting Studio is a singular place on the global map of theater arts overseen by a deeply intuitive and open-hearted curator.  A few years ago, Matthias Schott asked me to travel to Berlin from my home in New York to teach my Personal Narrative Writing Class. I had known him as a wonderful writer and thoughtful artist. But upon entering his orbit in Berlin, I immediately encountered his quiet, magic touch: A real gift for bringing together passionate students and fine teachers from far and wide in a safe and welcoming space that allows for creative alchemy and groundbreaking inspiration. I have rarely encountered the kind of deep work and gentle joy I experienced in my time at Schott Studio. I am so grateful to be a part of it.“ – Martin Moran / Author, Actor and Playwright
