Mel Mack — Often Called the Tony Robbins of the Acting World

(and sometimes, the Kevin Bacon of Acting Coaches). Mel Mack isn’t just an acting coach — she’s a force in the industry.

With over 27 years of experience in both L.A. and New York and more than a half a million self tape auditions under her belt, Mel has helped thousands of actors transform their careers from uncertain to unstoppable.

As a Casting Director at House Casting in New York City and Founder of the Mel Mack Acting Studio, she’s built the only online acting studio led by a working New York Casting Director — giving actors the kind of insider guidance you simply can’t find in a classroom.

A proud SAG-AFTRA actor, Mel has lived both sides of the casting table — she’s been the performer sweating the audition and the Casting Director making the call.

Today, Mel helps actors master the mental game, the on-camera audition technique, and the marketing strategy needed to thrive in today’s competitive industry.

Her no-nonsense, heart-centered teaching style has earned her comparisons to Tony Robbins — inspiring, transformative, and laser-focused on results.

At the Mel Mack Virtual Acting Studio, actors don’t just get training — they get transformation. They learn how to hook casting directors in seconds, elevate their materials, and walk into every audition with confidence and strategy.

A sought-after industry voice, Mel has been featured in Backstage, taught at NYU Stone Street and Binghamton University, and served as a CSA panelist and keynote speaker at the Southwest Actors Conference.

She’s also guest-taught for Kathy Wickline Casting in Philly, Get Scene Studios in Atlanta and Actors Connection, inspiring actors nationwide to step up, stand out, and finally own their place in the industry.
