Melanie Brooks is the byproduct of a Valley Girl and New Yorker, a true hybrid, and a native to Los Angeles. She began her professional acting career at the age of eight and never looked back. Melanie has booked work in several national commercial campaigns, chasing Goofy through Sleeping Beauty's Castle in Disneyland, being Amy Poehler's sidekick with Xfinity Mobile, exclaiming, "Sketchers, they're delicious!" as the vo artist, as well as roles in TV, Film and Theatre on both coasts. For her first professional writing credit, Melanie also served as leading lady, starring in the web-series, "Party at Micah's." The series was showcased in Cannes at MIP TV.

Melanie earned a BFA at New York University's Tisch School of the Arts, studying Drama at The Lee Strasberg Theatre & Film Institute and Musical Theatre at CAP21. She graduated with minors in Film Production and Child & Adolescent Mental Health Studies. She honed her improv comedy skills with Kip King (LA) & The Groundlings (LA), and at Upright Citizens Brigade (NY). She studied writing for TV and Film at NYU's Dramatic Writing Department, and UCLA extension. She continues to study acting with Leigh Kilton Smith (LA).

Beyond hosting red carpets and panels, Melanie hosts Virtual Team Building events for corporations, leading events for many of the world’s biggest companies such as Meta, Amazon, and Microsoft. Connecting people from all walks of life and professions through curiosity, creativity, and collaborative communication is the special sauce Melanie has to offer in her events and interviews. It is the thread that brings all of these moonlighting professional pursuits together, and what allows her to be her most authentic and creatively fulfilled self. 

Melanie splits her time between LA and NY.
