MEL MACKINTOSH - CGA
CASTING DIRECTOR
'Casting Director' may be the official title, but Mel prefers to think of herself as a collaborator, host, observer, researcher, negotiator, problem solver, investigator and team player. Maybe also add magician. With a quick calculation, her casting career has afforded her the opportunity to conduct over 100,000 auditions and she still gets a kick out of saying ‘action’ and ‘cut’. She is a founding member of the Casting Guild of Australia and has been on the Executive Committee since 2013. She also launched TheBizBook © in 2017 - Australia’s first and only online resource directory for actors.
