Isabelle is a degree holding international working
actress, acting coach, and screenwriter.
Isabelle’s work is influenced by a long-time
collaboration with Robert Castle, a unique director
renowned for
the evolution of ‘Method acting’ and the founder of
International Theatre New York, and Susan Batson, one
of the most significant Hollywood acting coaches in the
world.
Her method is based on ‘Method acting’, a technique
originally created by Stanislavsky and further
developed by Lee Strasberg, Stella Adler, and Sanford
Meisner. The actor is trained to create the character’s
life using the senses, in order to produce a reality. The
actor discovers a physical and emotional availability
that leads to working moment-to-moment, based on
spontaneous organic impulses and their free expression
through the character. The technique offers actors the
freedom to be emotionally available, and artistically
creative in both theatre and film.
Isabelle works with scenes and monologues from well-
known playwrights such as Tennessee Williams,
Edward Albee, William Shakespeare, Harold Pinter, Caryl
Churchill, Alan Ayckbourn, Gotthold Ephraim Lessing,
Sibylle Berg, Ingmar Bergman, Jean-Paul Sartre, Dario
Fo & Franca Rame et al., film scripts or scenes of your
choice.

Right from the start I felt very comfortable having
found Isabelle as my coach. This impression was
justified as each coaching session with her was
energizing and fun as well as providing with tools that
enabled me to increase my performance during my
current engagements. The main focus was on
monologues and dialogues in German and English. Her
coaching style, specifically the way in which she
provides feedback is incredibly professional and to the
point. I wholeheartedly recommend Isabelle for any
coaching needs for budding as well as established
actors and actresses.
Working on monologues with Isabelle was very
inspiring. She always gives thoughtful and constructive
feedbacks that allowed me to progress fast and
durable. She created a pleasant atmosphere while
maintaining a level requirement that is conducive to
work with good results. I warmly recommend her class.

The lessons provided by Isabelle have broadened my
perspektive, have been very enjoyable and
continuously inspired me to have new ideas. Her
objective and cordial mannerisms encourages me to try
new things as I feel safe in her presence. Working with
her allows me to efficiently further develop my
monologues for the drama school auditions.

Academy of Dramatic Arts Berlin.
Taking lessons with Isabelle is positively intensive. The
intensity is very helpful to further my knowledge. She
provides input so that I am able to take these inputs
and run with them. Her sympathetic ways and her
professionalism help to drive me forward. We worked
on various monologues which Isabelle used to highlight
different acting techniques and she gave me tips how
to implement these techniques. The lessons I took with
Isabelle provided me the ability to slip in various
different roles which increased my self-confidence for
the drama school auditions.

Terms and
Conditions
I spent a wonderful hour with Isabelle and her coaching
allowed me to really deep-dive into character work
and provided tools and insights that I cannot wait to
take with me and apply. Isabelle created a
collaborative, inquisitive and joyful space that allowed
for great exploration!
I have attended many acting workshops and worked
with various mentors over the years, but my sessions
with Isabelle were truly unique. What stood out most
was her approach to understanding a character—not
just within the scene, but as a whole human being
with a life before and after the moment on the page.
This perspective opened up an entirely new way of
thinking for me.
The exercises she guided me through, were eye-
opening. They helped me uncover emotional layers
and genuine motivations in a very organic way. Isabelle
has an incredible ability to recognize passion in an
actor and she deeply respects the craft. Her sessions
are conducted in a very safe, encouraging, and
creatively liberating environment, where you feel seen
and understood.
What she has done for me means a lot. I left each
session not only more confident as a performer, but
more connected to myself. I am forever grateful for
her guidance and the space she held for growth.
I highly recommend working with her to anyone
serious about exploring the depth and truth of acting.
Isabelle is an exceptional acting coach whose guidance
elevates the craft. She offers sharp insights into the
script, helping uncover layers of meaning that I might
otherwise have missed. Most impressively, she knew
exactly which questions mattered most, steering me
towards stronger performance choices.
A truly inspiring coaching session with Isabelle Mann.
Diving deep into the world of the character and
exploring their inner reality gave my work a whole
new impulse.
I'm looking forward exploring more of it in the future.
Thank you for our coaching session together, it was a
pleasure working on this text with you!
Isabelle offers an interesting approach to the Method
technique and a 'what could have been' exploration that
turns limitations into creative freedom. She guides you
with a kind heart and offers suggestions for work that
will examine and improve your performance. It’s a
lovely exercise to explore acting!
Isabelle coached me for an emotionally challenging role
in a play. In just one hour, she elevated my work to
another level, and with her help, I was able to give the
character much more depth and background.
Isabelle works in a very structured way: she gave me
plenty of exercises to continue working on
independently, and sent a summary afterwards, so I
could focus entirely on the performance during the
session.
Her way of teaching Method acting is highly effective,
lasting, and always in a safe manner. Furthermore,
Isabelle offers valuable, practical insights into conduct
in projects, and the industry in general.
A strong recommendation for actors who want to refine,
and bring authenticity to, their craft. Thank you very
much for your brilliant work, and I look forward to
continuing our collaboration in the future.
Isabelle Mann helped me to deliver a more believable
and convincing character through extremely helpful
techniques and very valuable feedback.
She has given me eye opening ways to break down and
pull more life from the page.
She's a wonderful teacher and an absolute pleasure to
work with.
I would highly recommend her to anyone seeking better
understanding and outcome of your characters, 10/10.
