About Me
Michael Foerster has been passionate about acting, writing, and producing from a young age.
In 2016, he faced challenges in both his professional and personal life. He moved to Los Angeles to find inspiration and new training opportunities, continuing his work as an actor and producer.
In the heart of the acting scene, Michael met some of the industry's most talented people—visionary acting coaches like Bernard Hiller, Howard Fine, Ivana Chubbuck, Larry Moss, and Annie Grindlay—and renowned casting directors such as April Webster, Nancy Bishop, as well as inspiring producers like Brett Rattner and Brian Medavoy.
He is grateful to still work with many of them; some have become wonderful and supportive friends over the years.
He began his coaching career as an acting and audition coach in West Hollywood in 2018. Realizing that even the most talented actors often struggle to make a living, he expanded into success coaching for actors.
Today, Michael works with actors, models, CEOs, entrepreneurs, and athletes from Los Angeles, New York, London, Berlin, Hamburg, Munich, and the Netherlands.
Michael Foerster lives in Berlin and Los Angeles. In addition to coaching, he is currently developing a TV show for the US market with director Jon Ravid.
“I feel genuinely grateful to work with and support incredible and talented people from a variety of fields. Being a part of their journeys and successes fills me with happiness and a deep sense of fulfillment. Someone once played a big role in helping me change my life, and ever since, I’ve wanted to give back by sharing what I've learned and the kindness I’ve received.”
