Carolin Ott is an actress, voiceover artist and theatre maker. Born November 1985 in Lübz. Brought up in East-Berlin. Moved abroad, by herself, aged 17 to follow her dream of becoming an actress.
In 2017 – after living abroad for 13 years – Carolin made the decision to pack two suitcases and move back to her hometown Berlin, where she now works and lives with her family.
Carolin trained at the School of Physical Theatre London, where she completed an intensive one year course based on the methods of Jacques Lecoq. She then continued her studies at the renowned Royal Central School of Speech and Drama, followed by postgraduate acting training at the Drama Studio London.

Carolin believes that theatre is and can be for everyone and is particularly interested in socio-political subjects, ensemble work, contemporary literature, combining different mediums to create stories and identity.
Most recently she finished filming the highly anticipated music video ‘Abbas Agha’ for Iranian Rap Artist Justina. Carolin embodies a strong and loving woman in resistance. Director: Omid Mirnour, Casting: Studio Levi.
