As a casting director and owner of Mel Mack Acting Studio (a virtual acting studio) I see over 20,000 auditions a year so I know exactly how to identify your blind spots and help you do the same.
I’ve worked on both sides of the camera as a casting director and SAG-AFTRA actor in NYC and LA for 27+ years. My goal is to help you book the virtual audition room while building a career you feel proud of.
I’m passionate about helping ambitious actors who want to book more work get clarity on their marketing tools while giving them the structure they need to build confidence in their auditions, get excited about their career and create strong connections with industry pros so they can finally have the career they dream about.
