I am very impressed with ML Talent. I am a full ACTRA member and have had 6 agents in the distant past. I signed with ML Talent only 3 weeks back and they have contacted me a dozen times already for roles. I intend to stick with them for the long run and I highly recommend this agency. Another thing: ML has almost always given me about 48 hours for a shot..that is far more notice than I have had in the past and that is appreciated!

I’m a seasoned professional who has dabbled in and out of the Film Industry for over 20 years.

I came to ML Talent Agency in 2017 after having referred Talent for 5 years prior. With many of my past colleagues and associates on the ML Roster.

Melissa runs a boutique agency That charges an Industry Standard Fee and the Office is managed by a wonderful individual, who is helpful and kind.

The Agents however, are outsourced and this can make confirming call times challenging yet they do there best to provide you work.

Be sure to go into the Office monthly and have new photos taken, as ML Talent is very diligent in ensuring accuracy when submitting to Casting Directors. Please note, these photos will only cost you time and effort.

Thank you Melissa and the Team at ML Talent for a great year!

I am nothing but thankful to ML Talent for 3 wonderful years of business. Melissa is my top bg agent. She's always given me plenty of bookings. It's important to me to have good communication with the people I work with and thus far it's been great.

ML was once top agency. Not any more. Quality of service sank low. You think that agency that made as much money off cash and apprentice (15% commission), would hire staff locally. No, they are outsourced in Pakistan. Try to get them return your text. Good luck. I switched my business to other agency. Petergail is wonderful and so is Talent Catcher. Level of professionalism is unmatched. Giving ML one star is too generous. Cheers.

About 50% of the time I get booked with ML, they cancel on me last minute. Sometimes I don't even get the news that I've been cancelled until I email THEM at 3 am the night before. Almost everyone I've spoken to on set has said the same thing. My friend emailed them a year ago and pointed out that the cancellations are ridiculously frequent and he got banned- he doesn't get emails from them anymore. My friends have also gotten emails saying that their accounts are being deactivated because they haven't been replying to emails even though they've worked with ML literally a week before. I really don't understand why the reviews are mostly good when almost everyone on set I've spoken to have had similar bad experiences. I also find the responses to the negative google reviews by ML really unprofessional.

Couldn't find those vouchers from 5 years ago. Perchance, if you kindly ask Actra? I had been wondering why I wasn't getting booked. For 4.5 years I thought maybe you lost my email but when you emailed me because you desperately need commission ASAP just realized SARS 2.0 is why I'm not getting booked. I mean, what's the point if I have to wear a silly mask anyways. Sorry for the misunderstanding earlier. If I find my 2015 vouchers I'll be sure to let you know. Normally I'm more organized 🙁

Be safe!
