Mel Mack Acting Studio
Hi! I’m Mel Mack, a working Casting Director in NYC at House Casting with over 29 years of experience in L.A. and New York. I founded Mel Mack Acting Studios 9 years ago, the #1 virtual acting studio run by a working Casting Director, SAG-AFTRA actor, and author of 101 Acting Tips (available on Amazon).
After seeing over 689,000 auditions, I’ve helped actors build on-camera confidence to book the room. My studio teaches you how to avoid common mistakes in self-tapes, live auditions, and branding.
If you’re submitting tapes, investing in headshots, and showing up for auditions but not booking, it’s time to fix what’s holding you back. Most actors struggle because their self-tapes don’t stand out, their branding feels generic, or they’re unsure how to shine.
I know what works and what doesn’t because I see thousands of tapes monthly and still audition myself.
