Welcome to the Robert Mello Studio!

The Robert Mello Studio is dedicated to Meisner-based actor training. Classes offer you a technique for crafting film, television and stage performances that are:

• Truthful

• Visceral

• Grounded and Organic

º The BEST technique for film and television

Through dedication, hard work, and a willingness to take risks, actors leave with a solid, time tested technique that instills a profound level of confidence that serves both performance and auditions.

THIS ISN'T YOUR PARENT'S MEISNER TECHNIQUE. Sanford Meisner created a brilliant technique - for his time. This is updated, faster and works off of who actors are today, not the 1950's and 1960's.

Robert's experience as a working actor, veteran teacher, working producer, and development executive offers students unique insight into the business and navigating through the challenges of being a professional actor in today's industry.

Robert's teaching style is compassionate, straight-forward and filled with joy and humor.

Teaching is Robert's greatest passion.
