Uncut Casting Services

I just worked a shift and wanted to express my gratitude for having your company booking me. It was really a professional set up and even the booking process was easy to follow. I’m starting out as an actor so I get pretty anxious and have fallen for a couple of shady incidents already so I was pretty skeptical. However if only I got this for uncut I’m satisfied already so it could only go up for me. Thanks again.

Uncut is probably the best casting service in LA. They keep you working constantly, everything is built around your schedule, and they genuinely care. What I love most about them is that even more than the fact that they book me pretty often, they truly understand the actor’s life. They know that we’re probably juggling a million different things outside of the work we do for them and they are incredibly understanding. It’s sad, but that’s just a rare thing in this city. But all-​in-​all, Uncut is the gold standard for background. It’s just that simple.

Uncut is great! There are very professional and get me as much work as I want. I booked on my own and changed my availability and they asked me if I still wanted consideration for a commercial shoot on the same day I booked myself. I told them yes since what I booked was lower pay and at night. Jacque asked me to standby and not cancel my gig just in case. Turns out the commercial shoot was cancel anyways. It is only $ 85 one time fee a year and $ 10 per booking. $ 8 for work booked eight hours or less rate. This service is great if you are a master at booking yourself and want a break from doing all the work. If you’re lazy, then yes you might want to consider a calling service, lol and maybe go for the Gold Membership. I unfortunately had to cancel for a bereavement and they were understanding and empathy even when they thought they never received my voicemail from the emergency line. They just checked it again and confirmed my canceling.
If I choose to continue getting background work, then I would definitely renew next year! This is one of the cheaper and better calling services especially when you are good at getting through the hotlines and finding work yourself.
Please do give it a try!

Just wanted to thank Uncut for continuing to be so awesome! They keep me busy working with some huge TV shows and commercials! They are always great with communication and very personable. Great learning experience and a fun way to make money. You want the work. they will get it for you! Looking forward to my future with Uncut Casting!

I have been with Uncut a few months and they have kept me busy. Every time I have been booked through them I work on great shows and usually end up with OT. Which means great checks! :) Thanks Uncut team!

I signed up with this service on February til July and within 6 months I was never booked. I was really hoping to work on a lot of cool gigs when I signed up because of the many positive reviews and its 4 and a half star rating on Unilocal.However, I never received one single booking. I was not sure why maybe because I was union. I canceled and they were happy to offer me my refund. Friendly and very professional people. I believe they are really good for non union people.

I worked with different casting companies but LA Uncut always remains number one on my list of preferences. They are up to date on everything. I’ve been with them for about three years already, that’s how long ago I moved to Los Angeles. They are very responsible, always double check my availability if I didn’t log in for a while. I changed my credit card several times during this time and when it didn’t go thru their system, they always notified me and gave me a chance to update it instead of charging the fee. Uncut hosts fun down time events for its members and the whole team is very friendly and polite when it comes to phone, email or text communication. The key to be selected for most of the jobs is to log in, log in, and log in again! Once you manage to do so, LA Uncut will take care of the rest for you. I’ve got two of my Union vouchers with them as well. They are the best.

Pleasure working with Jacques and the crew. Keep your status updated and be on time and you’ll get a lot of work… Communication, communication…

Jocque has been the best… non-​union and SAG. Uncut was instrumental in qualifing me as a SAG member.
Thanks Uncut! Brian Leng

The team at Uncut goes above and beyond for their talent. They are great at booking me on shows. They also provide me with opportunities to further my acting career beyond background work. I would definitely recommend them to anyone who wants to hire a calling service!

Uncut really put the hours in for their actors.
Jacque is great and really cares about getting everyone work.
I’d recommend Uncut to anybody that’s wanting to get into extra and acting work.
They don’t require monthly dues either, so it’s much more convenient if you don’t get as much work, but they do take a small amount from each check. This works out a lot better compared to how much other booking companies charge.

Uncut Casting Services are one of the best booking agencies in Los Angeles. I have been a member with them for over 4 years. They always book me on fun and exciting projects!
They also give me the opportunity to be booked as a potential supporting role and not just background work.
Definitely one of the best in business and I am very happy to be part of Uncut Casting’s team :-)

I’m currently 8mo pregnant and I registered with Uncut last Friday (3days ago). I know, I’ve taken a great leap of faith to get bookings. It’s three days later and I just got booked for an 8MO Pregnant Role in a Jim Carrey Movie!!! First SAG Union gig finally achieved thanks to Uncut Casting! AMAZING! Just 2 more SAG vouchers after this and I’m way closer to my acting career goal! I look forward to more wonderful achievements with this team. They’re awesome!

I’ve been with Uncut since late February 2014. They got me as much non-​union background work as I wanted on such hit shows as Parks & Recreation and two episodes each on The Newsroom and Kingdom aka Navy Street. Last time I did that one I got bumped up to union, which paid more than double and helped me get my SAG card.
When I first signed up I sprung for the $ 150 Gold membership to save money on future booking fees and to help me be near the top of their list for gigs. The other way to stay on their radar is by logging onto their website and updating your availability… often. I do it almost every day and it’s helped a lot. That way they see you’re serious about wanting to work and that you have a professional attitude about it.
If you’re non-​union, of course you’ll get more background work, but Jacques and the staff are continuing to promote me for union gigs as well.
Lastly, I just want to say how grateful I am to Jacques and the great Uncut staff for all the work they’ve given me over the past 14 months. It’s been a real blast and I’ve learned a lot. And… they are consummate pros! They work their butts off to get you work and I’ve been completely happy with them. I would definitely recommend them to anyone who wants to work great background gigs without having to try to beat the rush at Central Casting. I rarely get work directly from Central even though I submit quite a lot, because there are so many other people competing for the same jobs.

I’ve been part of the Uncut casting family as a Gold Member almost from it conception and I will highly recommend signing up with them for a number of reasons.
!.) Your are treated courteously
2.) They work very hard to get you work
3.) They are very informative and send you news about work shops to attend
4.) The friendliest people in the casting business
5.) You will get work the will stretch you acting chops
One thing is to remember is keep your availability up to date because it WILL help you get more work. Also fill all the information on your page for the same reason. Because it WILL help you get more work.

Having recently signed up with Uncut Casting I am pleased with the results. Their website is easy to use, and managing my availability has never been easier. The staff are helpful and friendly, and Jacques (the owner) is a great guy. They have booked me on some awesome jobs and even got me my first stand-​in gig, which I have been trying for years to get on my own. Thank you Uncut Casting!

Uncut has been very beneficial to my acting career. They have not only booked me on some awesome productions as an extra, but they also helped me land a great gig as a body double. I have been with 2 other similar companies in the L.A. area that were either not as friendly or cost effective as Uncut has been to me.

Signed up with Uncut Casting 2 months ago, I’m impressed with the professional services from friendly uncut staffs. Great place for talents and. Background actors. I also got a lot of opportunities to work constantly with a good pay rate commercial and movie. Also very practically that Uncut Casting allow you to set your own availability to work online!
Thanks Uncut!

I first signed up with Uncut about five years ago and I was always very happy with the amount of work they got for me. When I was in between jobs (the 9 to 5 kind), they were booking me left and right for commercials, TV shows, movies… and audience work when things are slower. Regardless, I was working so much and on set so often that I made a ton of valuable connections. And had lots of fun in the process!
After I got a full time job, it was harder for me to garner the energy to keep with the background acting biz so I stopped doing it for a while.
I reregistered with them recently because I’ve given serious thoughts to being a working actor. And I’m sooooo pleased that they developed a way for extras (oops, background professionals lol) to manage our availability and profile online! It’s so easy and convenient.
For me, I chose to pay the one time $ 75 registration fee and Uncut takes a commission from every job they book you on. All specified during orientation (that’s when you come in to register) so make sure you ask about anything you’re unsure about. They’re somewhat good with answering your concerns but you can also read the paperwork, it is pretty straightforward.
I’ve always recommended Uncut. They’ve gotten me onto many movie, TV show and commercial sets. Without them, I’d be going to unpaid auditions all day. I love what they’ve been doing for this aspect of my life.
In retrospect, though, Jacques n his staff could be friendlier, less jaded, more patient n professional with their clients. Especially with inquiries. Seemed they’ve a high turnover, since I often found myself dealing with newbies who had little or no idea. Kinda annoying, that’s why no five stars. Joey’s List is a better booking service. No personal ego, just straight up business arrangements.

Uncut Casting is quite the catch when it comes to a professional and personable call-​in service. I found out about Uncut Casting through a working actor and after seeing him book multiple high profile shows like Grey’s Anatomy and feature films, I knew I had to sign up. After signing up, within a week, I was booked on a feature film and I’ve had at least one gig and/​or an audition a week from this casting company since I joined in June (minus any week that I was unavailable). This is honestly one of the most hard-​working casting agencies I have encountered in LA and Talin and Jaques are always doing their best to get me out on-​set.
Jaques and Talin are personable, professional, and sweet. They are working for you, and they work hard, but just like any business, you also have to make it easy for them to get you booked. By being up to date and truthful about your availability and profile, but also being accessible via phone, text, or email at any time of day or night, Uncut will go above and beyond to get you onset and I can say this last bit with confidence because I am living proof: I worked on the TV show Navy Street today by being available last minute which I booked through Uncut. Take note LA.
Keep in mind, this industry runs on its own time, not yours, but Uncut does its best to accommodate all of its talent by making it convenient to update availability online and Jaques and Talin are understanding. I love the fact that they follow up and communicate with me about bookings and possible job leads all the time! Uncut Casting is the best casting company out there and I highly recommend this casting company to any serious actor in town!
