Michaela ‘Oim’ Schwarzenauer

My name is Michaela Schwarzenauer, but I just go by ‘Oim’, and I’m a 26-year-old actress from Austria, based in Berlin.

My language skills include German as a mother tongue, English on a native level, as well as the Tyrolean dialect. After taking classes in theatre and screen acting for six years and obtaining my BA in English Studies in 2020, I finally decided to pursue a BA in Screen Acting at Catalyst School for Acting, graduating in 2024. My skills and passions include skiing, yoga, painting, writing, climbing, rock music, going on road trips with my van and working on my moderate Italian skills.

In my artistic work, I enjoy writing, characterising things without directly saying them, and building immersive worlds for my stories to live in. Although my boobs have often been described as my greatest asset, I also bring other things, like precision, commitment and a warm energy to projects. I use self-irony and humour as tools to critique, allowing my audience to reflect on themselves, without their pain being able to hurt them.
