Conscious Acting

Let the real you shine and pave your way

AUTHENTIC PORTRAITS
Who are you?

And how much do you show from yourself?

THE SECOND QUESTION

How do you act?

And which actions do you take in life?

AUTHENTIC PORTRAITS

Drop the mask

Let go of all the parts where you had to fit in and adapt to your circumstances.
It's time to let the real you shine.

Level I
"The Build Up"

Why are you where you are right now?
What do you want to be an actor for?
What may you let go of in order to be fully present?

Together we will work on your portfolio and demo reel.
We will analyze where you are and what brought you there.

First we will look at the steps you can take to make a leap into this life as a performer with more presence and heart. I want you to understand that everything starts with you. You are the creator of your current situation. That's why it's essential to make the changes in you. Then the outside will change too.

Level II
"The Promise"

The auditions are here but the job ain't coming?
Don't give up! I'll work together with you on each audition to give you a guideline and support when things might feel tiring. We also look at why it hadn't happened yet and what we can do to put you in the right frequency with what you want.

Remember: Everything starts with you. What part of you is still working against your success? Which unconscious parts of you are active to protect you? The way of conscious acting will clear those things up and help you shift your energy to become a fuller and more present version.
I'm sure the reactions to your audition will suddenly change and bring you further to what you desire.
You may not always like the answers you get when you work like that. But these are the things you need to hear, so you can open new doors.

Level III
"The Creation"

You booked a role and now you are ready to shine? You feel that you want to make the most out of this opportunity and you don't know where to start?

In our work together we will craft different ideas and scenarios for the character. I'll be your sparring partner to test new ideas and motives for a scene. We will look at the bottom of it all and find the truth in you and your character, so you can go on set and be present in your work. Through the different approaches and methods I learned, I can help you to dive deep to the bottom of the script, so you can make it yours.

If you decide to have feedback and support on set, I'll be right there with you and we can further evolve and expand the horizon of a character. I'll give you feedback and accompany you throughout the whole shoot.

Real

True

Train your truth

You have every aspect you'll ever need to play inside of you.
But is the path to those aspects open and available to you?

Photography

I started with photography as a second passion, but it turned out to be something honest and truthful to me.
I mostly worked on different filmsets and got to meet many personalities and settings. Later on I focused on the arts of portraits. I like to show people for who they really are and help them feel comfortable and natural in front of the lens. Whenever I take pictures I take the time to connect and really ask myself: How can I let this person in front of me shine?

ABOUT ME

Nikolaas von Schrader

My name is Nikolaas von Schrader. I'm a photographer, videographer and musician, but foremost an artist. I grew up in Vienna and started acting when I was 18. I finished my acting diploma and worked on different film sets and theaters in Austria and Germany.
Later on I stumbled across photography, which brought me to many new places and people. I also work as a healer and an aspiring body therapist. Through all these professions and different experiences, I realized what's the most important thing in my life. It's a big heart and a full tank of gratefulness and passion. Both of them are paving my way and bringing me to where my true essence is.
