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.

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! Cheryl

Uncut casting has been super helpful in getting me work and have always been professional. Just got booked on Perry Mason! I’ve got to work lots of fun jobs. The website is also very easy to use. You can keep your schedule up to date on the website and they work around that for you. The booking fees are also very reasonable. I would suggest checking this place out.

Good morning. First of all WELCOME TO CALIFORNIA. I have the answer . www.Backstage.com. This is a National Talent website that will give audition announcement s in Los Angeles and and any state. The yearly membership fee is $149.99. One more piece of advice,. Once you are a member, apply to as many STUDENT FILMS that you can. This will give you the experience that you need. Break a Leg!! 👍 😎

Hi! Is there a possibility to get an acting agent if you are from Europe(Croatia)?

Hi All,Uncut is a booking service for extras! We do occasionally get more featured work and even principal work!The majority of the work is extra work.You can book yourself on extra work if you are willing to hustle but even if you do, there are certain agencies Uncut works with that only use our service.Just like you may be able to book yourself on jobs with agencies Uncut does not work with. Submit yourself, let Uncut submit you& try online services like LA casting.Uncut only charges a one time reg. of $85 or you may opt to do the deferred option&only pay $25 down then pay the rest of the reg fee upon your 1st job! One role will pay off the registration fee since jobs pay anywhere btw $106-$250 then it's $10 per standard job.The advantage of being w/Uncut is that we know all of our members&so we are pushing and talking to agencies about you everyday!Try us out, we will refund you if not booked so you have nothing to lose.We are a great resource that connects you w/ great agencies!

I am an actor with a Russian name that is sometimes hard to pronounce. How important is it to have a stage name that may complement me more than perhaps a Russian name that might land me type cast type of rolls?

Boris Yurganov | Sep 25, 2021
Uncut Casting Services | Sep 25, 2021

Boris, I do not believe it’s that important. When you are starting out, you want a name that is your legal name that you’ll be paid under. When it’s time to pay the talent, if production pays the wrong name that is not the talent’s legal name, they have to spend weeks just getting the check resent and corrected which means more work for production! You want to make things easier for them, not more complicated. Anytime you are cast in a project, they will ask you what name you want to list on the credit when shoot is completed..At that time,if you want to give them a different stage name, then go for it.

When we start working how much of our payment do they get?

Hi Lexi, Uncut takes 10% on all jobs! Jobs pay anywhere from $120 to $250 a day Please let us know if you have any further questions!

Does the member spot of the website ever go down? It's not letting me log on. I've tried two different computers and two different wifi connections.

Hi Jack, Please contact info@uncutcasting if having issues with the site, not google review site! Thank you, Jacques

How does the process works when you sign up with UnCut casting? I don't have any acting experience but its my dream to be an actress or an extra. Would they accept someone with zero experience? Thanks.

Julieta Lopez | Aug 22, 2019

Yes, they will accept you with zero experience. They are a calling service that books background actors. If you want to work in background - uncut will help you accomplish that. You will need to register with Central Casting (free). With uncut I have been background for shows like Grey's Anatomy. When you go in to sign up with uncut - you watch a video, sign paperwork (choosing which level you want to be - they are different prices), they take a photo & then you have a profile on their site where you add your availability, stats (height, weight, measurements). Keep your availability calendar up to date - log in daily. Productions post their need for background actors, uncut submits you, if chosen by the production, uncut will text you the day before & then email you details and a number to call with more details. Look into acting classes. LA Casting & Actors Access have lots of auditions for speaking roles. Break a leg.
