TESTIMONIALS

Testimonials

Yves Jambo

For me it was a sense of direction, it was such a concise way of showing us, and letting us feel how the business works, and the roads one can individually go. In this convoluted business how I always perceived it, he narrowed it down, and gave us the view for the possible direction - whilst believing and bringing out what we already had in us, in our biography, in our being.

Sonja Chan

Christoph Dostal is not only a great actor, but also a great coach and teacher. He has given me very helpful personal notes and helped me finding more depth in my work as an actress. Oh, and I want to mention that he has helped me a lot with booking my first big project! I am very grateful for the work we had done initially and by now I work with him on a regular basis as my acting coach for film and TV projects. Thank you so very much, Christoph! :)

Sandip Sangha

I already knew in our first lesson that this man was full of wisdom regarding the movie industry, solely the way he handles himself was truly an inspiration to me. The lessons that Christoph gave us were thoughtful & fun. I was amazed by the output of knowledge and information in every single lesson! Everything he said was applicable. It was an absolute honor to learn from him.

Lena Rose

It was an honor and truly inspiring to work with Christoph Dostal. One very quickly notices that he is not only an expert and extremely knowledgeable in the field of acting in film/TV and on stage, but also that he is a person that has worked hard, and shares his experiences in a mindful and respectful way. He, indeed, showed me ways of tackling a role and a scene, but also the Business of/behind Acting, that definitely brought me to a new level of seeing myself as an actress and human being.
