Avoid the 3 Deadly Mistakes that Stop Actors from Booking More Work
Master Your Self-tape and Zoom Audition
AS SEEN IN
Does self-taping make you cringe? Do you feel like a weirdo on Zoom callbacks?
You’re not alone. I see this every day in self-tapes and Zoom auditions. Casting just simply doesn’t give you enough direction on what they really want. You need to practice this new system so you’ve got those audition-muscles as strong as they used to be.
Actors come to me with Questions like…
Do I really need to invest in equipment?
Why do self-tapes take so long to make?
How do I choose my best take?
What do I need to do in my Zoom auditions to stand out to Casting?
And More…
Let me tell you a secret.
Virtual auditions don’t need to feel so overwhelming.
With the right set-up and a little know-how from Casting (me), you can revolutionize your self-tapes overnight, and you might even have FUN making them! You can also learn the right Zoom-etiquette so you don’t feel like a robot on virtual auditions and callbacks.
At the End of this masterclass you will walk away with…
A rock solid plan to create the best space to shoot self-tapes
A stress-free way to look like a pro on every callback
A super simple tech hack to look great on camera even in a crowded apartment
Complete confidence that you know how to pick your best take… every time
What Others Are Saying
Hey Mel. I hope you can feel it. Because I am sending a lot of love your way!! I just got back from a week in New York where I had two commercial bookings. TWO!!! The reason I booked both of these was absolutely because of your KILLER self tape course. What a game changer! Each of these castings came with some complex instructions because they wanted different looks and settings. But because of you and your amazing course, the logistics and technology were no problem! I now have so much more confidence in what I am doing that I can relax and focus on what really matters – the substance of my auditions. Thank you!!! And LOTS of love!!!
Meet Mel
Mel Mack is a Casting Director with over 20 years of experience in L.A. and New York. Currently at House Casting, Mel also is the Founder and Lead Instructor at the Mel Mack Acting Studio, the only acting studio run by a working Casting Director in New York.
As a former Actor, Mel knows what it’s like to be on both sides of the table, and how important it is to be now teaching all the cutting-edge techniques for rocking auditions. When she was acting full-time, she either felt like her auditions sucked (but she booked it) or they rocked (and she didn’t).
It wasn’t until she sat on the other side of the table she figured out what was wrong. Now, over 500,000 auditions later, she can pinpoint those problems, unique to every Actor, and uses the Studio as her platform to teach what she wished she knew then.
Mel’s goal is to help Actors feel more confident throughout the audition process, teaching techniques that are simple- yet fast and effective- for making unique and memorable choices in the audition room.
The Mel Mack Acting Studio focuses on comedy and comedy’s influence on drama to help Actors create dynamic choices with the script. On a deeper level, she teaches how to do this in “T.V. Time,” which helps Actors feel comfortable making adjustments on-the-fly that are specific to the Actor’s unique take on the Character.
Mel has been a featured expert writer/contributor for Backstage, a guest teacher at NYU Stone Street, Binghamton University, Kathy Wickline Casting, and Actors Connection, as well as a CSA panelist. She has also been a featured interview on podcasts such as Nothing Shines Like Dirt, The Boss Life Balance, and Lady Geek.
