I have to be honest, I knew nothing about this company,
but my gut told me to give them a try. When I tell you
this is the BEST CASTING COMPANY I've been with, I'm
not exaggerating. I've been with numerous companies
prior to this and none of them compared to UNCUT.
They have a very professional and respectful team, they
always communicate any changes and they're just great
at keeping you booked. Sign up with UNCUT, you won't regret it.

I highly recommend Uncut! I've only been with them for a few months but so far, they've been able to book me a lot. Jacques and his team are super friendly, helpful and respond quickly anytime I have a question (even after hours). Their online system is really easy to use. Check them out!

I’ve been with Uncut approximately a year and have no complaints. I have worked on many awesome shows and learned as well. I originally signed up for the Gold package, because I like the idea of not paying monthly or annual. After a year with Uncut, I’ve decided to upgrade my membership.

Uncut had a nice Holiday Party, to show their appreciation for their clients which I thought was really nice. I was able to meet the voices behind the scene, and we all had a nice time.

Meeting Jacques was a bonus. We’ve talked on the phone and when I walked in to the Holiday event he recognized me and by name ? He greeted me and was very engaging. Not to mention his charming personality, I love his bubbly and humorous tone. I’m excited about the future and look forward to what 2020 will bring. Thanks Uncut for an Awesome year!

Cheers!

Mostly what I want to comment on was the top notch customer service!!! Jacques is so generous! I ended up receiving a full refund for a charge they weren't required to refund. And the staff went above and beyond! It's hard to find good customer service in this city, but I was pleasantly surprised for the first time in a long time! Great work guys! Thank you for your integrity. It definitely will be remembered.

Update 04/04/2022: Year 5 is just about up. And they're still busy booking me.

In three years with Uncut, this is my assessment. Yours is probably gonna be different.

As far as calling services perform, this ranks highly among the best for your money and results. Nearly all calling services charge you monthly rates. Some charge yearly rates. Uncut offers a one time lifetime membership fee provided you

- Update your availability weekly (easy)
- show yourself accountable & reliable

In my experience, the following impact the amount of work you book:

DIRECTLY:
• Your look and skill set
• the level of demand for them for relevant productions
• the level of reliability of your transportation
• the number of locations/regions of L.A. you're willing to travel to
• your conduct on set and off

After this, there's the matter of choosing the plan that works best for your station at the station of life you're in.

• First, of all, is doing what we can do the best we can. Update your availability weekly and show up early regularly and be easy to work with.

Anticipate traffic delays and plan the safest and quickest ways ahead to make your call time at least ten to fifteen minutes early in order to avoid causing production delays in your end.
Uncut is on your side provided you keep the communication lines with them open and reach them ASAP..

CHOOSING A PLAN:
Skip the Silver membership as it is a waste of your time and money. Non union actors do best with the Gold membership at $150 for the whole year.
While I've heard that other calling services book more work for a lot more money,
Uncut anticipates lulls between seasons.
Jacques, its founder and manager since 2001, offers loyal clients a lifetime* membership as a way of expressing his thanks for staying with them.

Save the Platinum for when you go Union, as Uncut will send you on auditions they feel you may be right for with this.

FINAL THOUGHTS:
Give Uncut at least a year as a Gold level member before giving them a final weigh-in.

That's it for now. After a year, let me know your experience with them in a comment. Better yet, let them know.
