    Working with Nikolai is a collaborative process of discovery. When you are with him, he is very focused and attentive. He takes you through the process and equips you with the tools needed to create interesting characters and live in them as if they were comfortable clothes. I can see the difference in my work.

    II’ve work in the Entertainment field for over 30 plus years , plus I’m a Talent Manager and I can’t say enough amazing things about Nikolai. He has taken my actors to a completely different level of their acting. I’ve seen it with my talent. For me best coach/teacher in the West Coast. 👍👍❤️

    I have never studied with anyone that holds a candle to Nikolai. He has taught me a technique I can rely on no matter the circumstances, and he has always pushed me to go further than I thought possible. I consider him my mentor in acting and whether you are pursuing TV, film or theater, he is your guy.
