Booked talent is THE WORST for calling services. I signed up in April and all I got was "only one"…read morebooking in late June. They do not reduce their fees when we got zero booking. They keep charging me the full monthly rate. We have no bookings no paychecks... how can we pay them. ABSURD. I had it with them, whenever I talked to Joy, she was no help and very condescending. Booked Talent want our money monthly and don't booked us. So I closed my account. Save your money guys... sign up with other calling services that actually care about helping us to get booked.

I applied for a job through la castings unfortunately, BTS was the third party. I had a question…read moreabout payroll so I TRIED to contact BTS. while going through their website, I realized they DO NOT have a working phone number only a recording instructing you on how to join the company. I reached out via email and was finally contacted 1 hour prior to me having to be on set with a gibberish answer that I'm sure she (Debbie) did not read prior to hitting the send button. as I'm writing this I am still unclear about payroll so I am choosing not to film that particular project since payroll is through BTS. from experience, if you CANNOT contact a company then there is a chance that you will NEVER be paid for your services.

I FREAKIN LOVE THIS AGENCY. I came to this agency with no real credits and can confidently say I've…read morebeen in dozens of commercials and print ads. I've even been on billboards. My agent Sueanne is the best. Literally. She reps me both commercially and as of this year theatrically. There is rarely a week that goes by without me going out on auditions. She keeps me submitted and pitched. Not only that but Sueanne has helped me embrace my uniqueness and has taught me how to use these things as an advantage to become more competitive. She takes the time to critique and push every client on her roster in ways that will help them become more professional and stand out from the millions of other actors.

He is professional and tough when he needs to be and the best in the business. There is a reason Hugh wins agent of the year time and time again. My best compliment is that CTC thinks outside the box. They put you up for roles that I perhaps wouldn't submit myself on and then you realise they were right (again). If you are interested send in your headshot and wait for them to contact you. If you get called in, show them your talents. ie. guitar, singing, dancing, comedy....whatever. The CD's love Hugh and CTC. Make sure you are doing classes too. Good luck!

What to say about Jeff Olan? He is one of the best in the business. He has heart and shows a…read moregreat understanding of what extras go through. He and Gil are very involved with their productions, showing up on set, and they seem to know how to deal with any problems. Once there was a problem on a smaller budget production, but he made sure extras were paid-- he went the extra mile. On the casting side, he gets quality talent, actors doing national commercials, guest star roles, etc. One of the productions he cast was featured in the LA Times, with many photos of extras, to the title 'dapper extras'. On the philanthropy side-- he is an actor and gives helpful advice and encouragement to aspiring actors. He was involved for many years with an annual film festival, which gave actors and directors a chance to be seen and get noticed. His casting service is really well-run. If you are cast, you are often given a chance to confirm with your call-in service. That's something few c.d.s will do. The reason why I don't give 5 stars is I'd like to see online submitting. Nobody likes to tell a casting director they are unavailable. For extras availability is always changing. Sometimes you submit for something earlier in the day, only to get booked before the c.d. can get back to you. Having a way to communicate your availability online would be very useful. Also, extras could add specialty photos and a small bio. Finally, if you're not getting booked, don't worry. Keep trying. It takes time. Once they get to know you and you develop some rapport, you will get more opportunities. If you aren't registered yet, new registration does open up from time to time. If it does open up, seize the opportunity.

Been wantin' to write this piece for a while actually...... If you're lookin' to make some extra…read moredough, plannin' on becomin' the next big superstar in hollywood, or just want to get paid to sit on your ass all day than look no farther.... Cause a life as a background extra is just around the corner! I've been with Jeff Olan castin' since about early Sept 2010. They were the first people that I worked with and have had much success with them thus far that is why I'm excited to Boast. ***If you're new to bein' an extra or thinkin' about signnin' up with them. Just take the plunge. It's a one time fee of $25 bones. You take a headshot and you're in their data base. You call their number and you see what's available and if the producers like their look they will book. It's pretty self-explanatory. Castin' agents: Jeff Olan, Ryan, Milton, Gil, and Vera.. Each individual has their unique style on the phone but Shows: Greys Anatomy, Private Practice, Medium, and Hard times of RJ Berger... (They occasionally have other projects but this is the most consistent. I feel that as an individual of color (Someone who isn't white) especially in Hollyweird can be very very discouraging at times. If you notice on set... The cast and crew is very pre-dominating white. However, you can't let that stop you from achieving your dreams. I feel that through all the casting agents and and calling services Jeff Olan is definitely the most friendly and in terms of caterin to individuals who aren't white such as myself and others. Also, not to knock other places such as Sandi Alessi and Central which are good. But the success rate is just so much harder to get booked and like everything they do pick a lot of favorites. So you gotta try your luck. ***I've gotten 2 sag vouchers from them and even Jeff Olan often times leaves things on the line and shows up on set to see how his extras are doing. In addition, he often leaves some heart-felt messages about life which can be cheesy but I do appreciate the sentiment.... So whether you're tryin' to break into actin' or doing this as a part time gig. If you're lookin' for a place to start I'd suggest Jeff Olan. Cheers and don't forget to leave your name and repeat your number twice so they can contact you.

I took some time off from BG but wanted to get back into it and am so thrilled that Face2Face was able to bring me onto their roster. I have been fortunate enough to be booked often since I joined, and that's even without being re-registered with Central Casting (can't wait to also do that when they re-open registration and tell them that I'm with F2F so I can get even more bookings)! Eden, Mike and the whole team have always been very easy to get ahold of + very detail-oriented and timely with all the necessary information I need to arrive to the right place prepared and on-time. Can't overstate how happy I am to be a part of this roster as I look forward to more opportunities of working productions in 2021 and beyond!

When I reached out again, they revealed they had already removed me from their roster. I understand it's on me to keep my calendar updated, but the way they handled things was unfair and rude.
