Mel Mack Acting Studio

This is the best acting class I’ve ever taken for film/​tv. I’ve been acting since I was 3 and have studied Stanislavski, Meisner, Suzuki, etc. I love that she honors these methods while giving you a completely new set of skills and process to use and apply. Her method is so straight-​forward and intuitive that once you learn it, it becomes so much easier to approach any script with confidence and to include details in auditions that you may not normally find until a rehearsal period. I know that because of Mel, my process and acting has improved more than I ever thought it could have.
On top of that, Mel is supportive of every single person who has ever taken her class, whether they’re current or former students. She is one of the most positive coaches/​cheerleaders in my life. She’s a perfectionist, but has one of the most calming influences I’ve ever experienced. She won’t give up on her students and will do whatever she can to help boost their careers. From one-​on-​one coaching, to helping find agents and managers, to getting meetings with casting directors, she wants people to have all of the right opportunities to work in this industry.
Mel and her studio go above and beyond to create a positive, safe, creative environment so you can grow.

Easily my favorite acting class in the city. I’ve been in the industry for years, and her process is the most accessible. After working with her, I can approach any audition with ease and confidence. Mel’s knowledge of the craft and industry is enormously helpful, not only in helping you grow as an actor, but helping you flourish in your career. I highly highly recommend!

I love training with Mel and will continue to do so because she is an acting teacher who really cares about her students. I have been in her class for about a year and a half now and absolutely love it! I have learned so much about TV/​Film acting. The class meets once a week but requires outside rehearsals with the other students. The students in the class are very dependable and fun to work with. I have been in many acting classes in NYC and none of them compare to her class. She also provides personal coaching which I use whenever I get an audition! BEST ON CAMERA CLASS in NYC!
Also, Mel is the coolest person ever! Great personality! Love her to death! :)

The way Mel teaches is the most comprehensive and accessible technique for TV/​film I’ve ever come across. I have been an actor my entire life and studied at many different studios in NYC and got my degree in theatre. It’s so simple that it help takes away any nerves or stress that naturally comes with the audition process.
Mel also genuinely cares about all her students. She helped me get signed by my commercial agent and get meetings with legit agents. Her class is a necessity to for actors trying to break into the TV: film:commercial world!!!
