Integrity Casting

Run, don’t walk to sign up at Integrity Casting!!! The class
taught by Toni Suttie there changed my life, giving me
the secrets of treating acting professionally so that I have
been able to be hired a lot in the film and tv industry.
Toni Suttie is a firework of inspiration and she always hires
great people to work for her. I can’t recommend her classes
enough! I started at 28 with her and I had done 40 plays but
no films yet at all! She taught me the business and now I’ve
done dozens of movies and tv projects. The very latest news
is that even in my 50s now just last night a film I was in won
Best Feature Film and Best Director at the International
Film Festival in Irvine, CA. So it seems that the career she
started hasn’t ended.

So far shes done nothing 4 me except make me resend head shots twice and was told she would contact me back for jobs in the bay area and that was in the begining of this year, I tried with her but im done trying. Ive moved along

Toni is a wonderful casting director with amazing connections in the industry. My daughter is one of Toni’s men-​tees and we had the opportunity to attend a trip to LA where we met with actors, directors, producers, agents, industry lawyers and branding experts. It was a whirl wind trip but filled with great connections that we’ve made useful already.
For just $ 30.00 a year Toni will keep your head shots on file at the studio and email you all casting opportunities first. After being notified of a local television commercial being filmed in Reno I submitted my head shot and resume and was cast to be in the Tamarack Junction Steakhouse commercial.
Integrity Casting offers many workshops at the Reno office and are all included in the Men-​Tee program or as a small fee per class. With so many things being offered we aren’t always available to attend but we know we aren’t forgotten. Toni is always emailing for auditions or interviews.
Integrity Casting has INTEGRITY. We are very thrilled to be partnered with such a honest hard working woman as Toni Suttie. Our only regret is not finding her sooner.

I’ve worked with Toni on a variety of projects over the last year, and she is a professional, pleasant, well qualified person to acquaint yourself with regardless of your intentions in the entertainment industry.
I have been cast for work with Integrity as a talent and I have used her casting services for my own film. Will I work with her again? Absolutely. Toni runs a quality business, offers a great service, and brings many demonstrable virtues to the Reno market.
Shout out to the rest of her staff for their friendliness and capable work ethic as well.
I commend Toni for her time-​management skills. It can’t be easy juggling hundreds (perhaps thousands) of registered talent, taking measures to communicate regularly with a spectrum of clients who possess varying inclinations toward the industry, not to mention talent.
As a filmmaker, I’m well aware of the industry’s tendency to buoy our talents’ expectations beyond realistic levels, but as long as you come to the table with realistic goals and rational motives, you will not feel disrespected or misled by Toni or Integrity Casting.

I drove to Reno to audition for Toni. SHe later called and said the client loved me, and wanted me to do the commercial. When she told me it paid $ 175.00, I said it wouldn’t pay for me to come up from Sacramento. She then said that the client really liked me, and said they would use me six more times that year for $ 450.00 per day. I said yes. On set, when Toni arrived, the first thing she said was,” I don’t want you guys talking business between yourselves.” She didn’t want us to know what each actor was being paid. Ihave never had anyone tell us something like that on a job. As it yurned out, there were no other jobs from the client. After the job she told me to invoise her and send a self addressed envelope. I handwrote the envelope and sent it to her. Two months later I recieved a call from her asking why I didn’t cash the check? I said I had never recieved it. She said it must have gotten lost in the mail. She told me to send another envelope. This time I printed it out on my laser printer. A few weeked later the check arrived. It had te recent date on it, but arrived in the original hand written envelope.
Then in April I recieved an email from her stating that she had booked my for a job for the California State Parks through Backcountry Films. SHe gave me a shoot date. The shoot date was then postponed several time. The job never took place. On her BLOG she fabricated a letter from Backcountry Films saying what a great job she did, and how wonderful the actors were. She added a personal note to the letter stating that Doc and Sam were registered in her San Jose and Reno studios. And that we were slated to work wit these people again in May. WE NEVER WORKED FOR THEM.
Subsequent to that Toni kept sending emails telling me what a great actor I was. Then she started telling me that I should move up to the next level and that she coul introduce me to Hollywood’s movers and shakers. When I said that would be great! She said tat she would like to me my mentor. WHen I said ok, she said it would only cost $ 2500.00. I declined.
From my personal experience with this woman, I urge other talent not to fall victim to her. I don’t know for a fact, but I have been told that SAG and the BBB are investigating her. Best check with BBB before doing business with her.

I have been working with Toni at Integrity Casting since I was 14, I am almost 30 now and I have never had a bad experience with Integrity. At a time in my life when I needed direction Toni came in to my high school acting class shook my hand and said «I want to work with you.» 16 years later I am still working with Toni.
I live in L.A. where I act and model professionally and I now have a radio show, The Stimulus on Fox News Radio 99.1 FM, and it is all thanks to Toni.
I moved to L.A. because Toni introduced me to the America’s Got Talent people. The brought me on board and I was a casting associate with them, an opportunity that I would never of had with out Toni and Integrity Casting.
I just completed a photo shoot with the Reno Aces in affiliation with their sponsors to promote a reading and math challenge. This project was really rewarding, they treated us well, and it was for a good cause.
Toni takes care of her talent and invest more than anyone else I know in the industry in her talent. I would like to remind people exactly what a casting director is. A casting director works for the production company not the talent, it is not her job to find actors work or invest in their success but Toni does.
Integrity Casting is the tops!!!

My son is a SAG and AGVA member who has worked in Los Angeles and New York. A couple of years ago he filmed a commercial for Integrity Casting. At the time of the shoot my son was non-​union. We were told repeatedly to not speak to the director and others about what my son was being paid — $ 150. He was on set for 9 hours at the age of 7. They knew this was breaking the California child labor laws. It took several weeks to receive a check from Integrity and it bounced twice. I had to make several phone calls before having this remedied and we were never reimbursed for the bank fees charged to us (which totaled $ 40). Before this, I signed my son up for one of Integrity’s «On-​Camera Workshops» which was supposed to have actor Corey Feldman as an instructor. The workshop was canceled twice and I requested a refund of my $ 150 tuition and STILL have not received my money back.
Toni and her team may appear very nice but I would warn everyone to contact SAG before paying her anything. She’s very good at dropping big names and faking her credits. It would behoove you to do some background work before you write the check!!! Legitimate casting directors do not charge for «package deals» to train you. Neither do legitimate talent agencies. You pay talent agencies a percentage of what you are paid AFTER you are paid — NOT BEFORE!!! The only legitimate fee an agency can charge is a web fee for posting your data on their website — and this should not be exorbitant! PLEASE EDUCATE YOURSELF!!!

I have worked with Toni and her team at Integrity Casting since winning the CW Reno America’s Next Top Model Casting call in July 2010.
She and her team have been very supportive, enthusiastic, and have presented me with opportunities to participate in film projects, runway shows, and commercials. Due to Toni’s persistent encouragement and coaching, I was cast in a paid principal role for a video game viral web film (Nov. 2011). On this project, I had the opportunity to work with an award-​wining production company from New York City, and a top production team from Chicago.
Toni also facilitated my involvement with «Dam California,» a full-​length film directed by Isaac Piche. The film was recently submitted to Sundance, and expects to debut in Feb. 2012. After participating for a day initially as an extra, I was later asked to audition for the primary female character! Although I was cast in a smaller speaking role, I did a scene with Jeffrey Weissman, who is best known for playing Teddy Conway in Clint Eastwood’s Pale Rider (1985) and taking over the George McFly role in the «Back to the Future» sequels!
Toni is genuinely interested in her talent’s success, and I have enjoyed working with her.
