I had a Fun commercial audition today at slate casting! I only wish I had come here sooner…read more.. The offices have plenty of space for the actors to wait their turn to audition. The filming space for auditions is large and well lit. I will definitely look forward to Future opportunities from this fabulous company. THE DEAL: this Casting Company is conveniently located in the heart of Boston and the staff is warm and welcoming!

I cannot say enough about this Casting Company , they always treat you with respect, you are never…read morejust another talent in their pool.

This place is a scam. Most major production companies that I've actually met with have no idea that…read moreBoston casting even offers acting classes, and if they do contact you for background extra work they're sure going to lie to you jerk you around get you to take off work and then cancel reschedule and never call you back. This place is a joke. For everyone involved. All they want you to do is pay for their internet damn page and then never get you work. Don't waste your time I've been part of this casting agency for 25 years and it's been nothing but a run around and a hemorrhage of money to people who do not deserve it who aren't there and not professional.

I LOVE Boston Casting! They are for sure an Casting agency who cares about their actors , everyone…read morein the offices are so nice and treat you with the upmost respect , it doesn't matter if you're calling to ask questions , sending an email , taking a class or auditioning you get treated with so much respect and I do appreciate that. They have a lot of opportunities for everyone you just have to stay on top of your game if acting is really what you want to do. Make sure you sign up for their emailing list and they have a site called agencypro which is a database they also use for talent, it's super useful you can use the free one or pay for it ( paying for it has it perks trust me I know , it's worked out for me ). They provide an array of classes , all throughout the year. They have classes for kids , teens and adults check it out. They don't just provide one class they have numerous ones at numerous times which is very helpful when you can't make one you make another. Jenna and Ann hold classes as well as others but I have taken classes with them and they're AH-MAZ-ZING! I enjoy the classes I learn so much , and I indeed do see a difference in my acting after the classes , you also meet great people who later become your friends and co-workers. Angela the mastermind is great. She's such a busy lady but she for sure makes time to say hello when she sees you around , she always has your best interest at heart. And she knows her stuff , and knows it's well. I love being apart of Boston Casting and I'm so glad I've gotten all the opportunities I got so far from them and I can't wait to continue with the opportunities and see what the future holds.

Brett and his staff are very personable, professional, and accommodating. We have never been…read morepressured into signing up for anything. My daughters are 10 and 12 and enjoy taking the classes and regularly auditioning for visiting agents. They have extremely busy extra curricular activity schedules, which often conflict with each other. However, Brett has been very flexible about allowing them to make up missed classes. Our older daughter was signed by a New York agent and has had numerous auditions and call backs. She has appeared on a magazine cover, and had a non speaking movie role. What they are really gaining out of the association with Open Call is; confidence, self esteem, learning how to present themselves, understanding rejection, time management skills, self evaluation, negotiation and organizational skills, increased reading speed and better comprehension so they can quickly analyze and memorize dialog and scripts. Most recently they have started to be more fashionable and finding their individual sense of style. They are enjoying expressing their creativity with clothes and different looks. My husband and I think both our girls are very talented and photogenic. What parent doesn't? However, we are realistic. Everything in life requires training, exposure, some luck, solid work experience, and hard work on your part to promote/market yourself as well. Most of all REALISTIC expectations and self knowledge. We are happy with how Open Call manages their office and what they have to offer. Most importantly, our girls enjoy the classes, like their instructors and the staff. They are more confident and comfortable performing on stage and presenting themselves in public. I have recommended Open Call Talent Management to my friends and family.

Applied online and got a call back from Jen who was very friendly, told me to come take a visit for an interview. The building was very nice, prime location in Financial District. Front desk person asked me to fill out an application and led me to Jen after. Jen was telling me that she has been working at John Leonard for almost 30 years holy moly! She was very professional, knew what she was doing, and sounded like she has a great relationship with their clients (employers). Asked me couple questions about my skills and experience, what I want to do in a long run. After the interview, she explained some of the jobs they have in the system and asked me if any of those spark my interest. Really liked this short term assignment in Cambridge, was places there a week after that interview! Went through many assignments with various employers through John Leonard so far, was a great experience to work with all those employers. John Leonard seems to have a good clientele of employers that would treat you well as long as you do your job! Long story short- no matter what kind of career goals you have, John Leonard will listen to you, learn your story to find a great assignments that fit to your needs and qualification! Shout out to Jen, you are awesome!

Years ago, I applied to work with this temp-to-perm agency. I thought it was a very cool idea to…read morehave a temp agency that focused on jobs in the creative fields. I can't exactly remember what the job was, but there was some interest in one job I wanted and I physically interviewed at their Chicago office. (I'm not sure the downtown location is there anymore.) Shortly after, I ended up getting a full-time editing job with another company that I applied to on my own, so I never got to find out what the company was like. Fast forward several years (maybe a decade?) later. A couple of clients came and went in my full-time freelancing career. I'd randomly applied for jobs with this organization but never held my breath because I always seemed to be getting rejection notifications. (I don't take those personally. I realize there are hundreds of other people all applying for the same jobs.) But I'd been completing freelance work for about eight years and just had no desire to sit in an office again. I have had a handful of remote clients since the pandemic and LOVE(D) working with them. I decided to sign up for Creative Circle again after I stopped for years because of the rejection notifications. I found it was much easier waiting for invites than to apply on my own because the recruiters (obviously) knew what their clients were looking for. I accepted one job invite (along with a few more), and BOY, DID THAT MAKE ME LOVE CREATIVE CIRCLE! The recruiter (Liz) who I briefly talked to was nice. The HR and Payroll team are pleasant. Cesar (who I completed the interview with) and Paula Jean (Engagement Specialist) have been amazing to work with. And best of all, I really like the job and the duo from that company that I work for via CC. I don't know if I would've had this great of an experience a decade ago. All I know is it came "right on time" this year, and maybe THIS TIME was the right time. Even if the project is just for this year, I can easily recommend and compliment Creative Circle for how they treat their contractors. I have zero complaints with CC or the external client. I'd recommend them to anybody.

They have opened so many doors for me that now I have the confidence and experience to deliver quality concepts and ideas to my personal clients and acquaintances. In my personal opinion... any individual leaving negative feedback or bad mouthing their service is probably the real problem behind why things didn't work out. I would recommend them to all my peers in the industry and can vouch for others that have landed career level dream jobs at major agencies in NY, LA, and beyond. Who am I? Just a guy looking to make my mark in this world. https://www.linkedin.com/in/nathanielmillett Cheers guys!
