I was fortunate to meet Mel at the Golden Gate casting club some years ago,
he was a very entertaining gentlemen,
After that exchange I frequented the club over several years occasionally seeing him there
giving a casting lesson. Many times indirectly watching as he instructed a group
on the joy of casting.

I hope some will look at the clip I posted, his energetic style comes through clear.
between him , Gary and Bob Jacklin I finally got the feel and love for the cast .
or as Mel coined the the phrase " the essence of the cast "

I do not consider myself a great caster but I enjoy showing anybody interested
the basics of the cast , with that energetic style that rubbed off on me...

Who or what most influened you on your journey to become a better caster?
Anyone having trouble learning to cast ? Have a question , I bet a member here
can help...

Be safe everyone -
