TAKING ACTORS FROM ORDINARY TO EXTRAORDINARY.
NYC’s only acting studio with 100% hands-on instruction from a working casting director who sees over 20,000 auditions each year.
Ever have that audition where you thought:
✔️ This part was written *for me!*
✔️ I was thoroughly prepared!
✔️ I TOTALLY NAILED IT!
…But you didn’t book the job?
It’s not that you’re not good enough, it’s that you have a blind-spot in your auditions and you need an expert to shine a spotlight on it so you can book the room!

I have worked with Mel Mack over the years and can easily say she is such a great coach to work with. She has helped me prepare for numerous network auditions and really provides an easy-going approach to help me get my best readout. I always come out feeling super confident after coaching with Mel. Plus the casting directors seem to dig it. Not too shabby am I right?
While sharing her knowledge and skills with you, Mel manages to walk humbly and confidently with you in your work. Learning from Mel feels like learning from a friend — a friend who just happens to be able to observe you clearly, guide you ably, and help you get more work as an actor. Since attending Mel’s classes I have used techniques and ideas she’s shared with me in every audition and performance I’ve had, on-stage and on-camera. I recommend Mel for anyone looking for an ego-free zone to stretch their skills and have fun doing it.
I had to learn about the frame, the space and the moment before. A play starts at the beginning and builds until the final curtain. The people watching can be 200 feet away and for simplicities sake, has one moment before. Each scene builds on what happened in a previous scene. On-Camera is remarkably different. Each scene is a world of its own. You usually cannot build on what happened before. Scenes are shot out of sequence; the end is often shot first. Mel’s class helped me discover the story that each scene has. But most importantly, she taught that an audition is not a performance. And I think that is the single most important lesson I learned.
