Great experience with casting collective

I have worked with Casting Collective for many years and have had an amazing time as a supporting artist. From dancing to stunt work, no two days are ever the same on set.
I have always been treated well and always had any issues sorted out by the team.
Always looking forward to the next world/set and production with Casting collective.

Casting Collective are one of the best agencies out there. Its been an absolute pleasure dealing with them.
I have been on amazing projects which I will never forget and have met such wonderful people since starting as a supporting artist.
Thank you to the team at Casting Collective for everything and giving me the opportunity to be part of movies and shows that I never thought I would be in in my wildest dreams, now anything is possible.
I am hoping to turn this into my main job as I love it so much.

I cannot wait for my next project !

Poor Communications

Hi I do not usually write reviews as no one really knows what goes on behind the scenes of any large organisation. However I feel I need to quote a recent availability enquiry. Location, must have own transport has location difficult to get to and there is no station pick ups. Fine I actually live in this village and have the same post code quoted. I informed the booker twice on this by e-mail. No acknowledgement at all then the standard release e-mail. Your reviews state good communication with all artists. What was good about this ? BTW have done SA work for many years since I retired and have been with you for over ten years and had not one job. When I read your reviews I wonder is this the Casting Collective I have been with all these years.

Could you please email me at Vicky@castingcollective.co.uk so I can look into this for you. I can see that you have only had two jobs with us since joining so I would love to be able to turn things around for you and secure you some more work.

Great Agency

I have been working as a Support Artiste for 8 years and my best jobs have come through Casting Collective. I have ice-skated, danced, swum, been a corpse and been involved in many wonderful productions. The team have always been so supportive and approachable, such as when I had to pull out of a film at short notice because a long-waited-for operation suddenly became available. I am very grateful for all the opportunities I have been given through CC and wish them every success in the future.

My experience with Casting Collective

I’ve had such a great experience working with The Casting Collective over the past projects. The team are always professional, communicative, and genuinely supportive from start to finish. Every production I’ve worked on has been well organised and enjoyable, with clear coordination and a friendly atmosphere on set.

I really value the consistency and trust they build with their artists, it makes a big difference working with people who care about both the production and the individuals behind it.

Grateful to be part of the community and looking forward to more opportunities ahead!

Fantastic Experience with Casting Collective!

I joined Casting Collective last year after a friend recommended them, and it’s been fantastic! I’ve had a mix of one-day jobs and a brilliant nine-day film shoot, met some amazing people, and always found the sets professional and well run. As a photographer, I love seeing the behind-the-scenes side of film and TV, and I actually enjoy the long days and early starts. Casting Collective has been friendly, reliable, and supportive throughout — I’m really glad I signed up and can’t wait for more opportunities ahead!

Working with Casting Collective has …

Working with Casting Collective has been a great experience. Every time I get booked through them, I’m genuinely thrilled—it’s such a joy to be on set doing the work I love as an actress, singer, and dancer. I’ve met so many wonderful people through these jobs—fellow supporting artistes who become friends, fantastic ADs, and sometimes even opportunities to interact with the main cast. The atmosphere on set is always professional and respectful, which makes the long days enjoyable.

Casting Collective is also excellent at supporting their artistes. If there’s ever a query about payment, allowances, or credits, they work hard to resolve it and make sure we’re treated fairly. I appreciate how organised they are, especially with early call times, which I personally enjoy.

Overall, they do a fantastic job connecting us with productions and making the whole process smooth. I’m very grateful to be part of their books and to have the chance to do work that I truly love.

Support Yourself First

I joined this Agency end of 2005/2006 getting work. I left the airline industry after falling into a deppresion I could not get out after losing my father of Sudden death in 2003, Be careful, who you talk to in the set, "they" want to find out every little details about your life in order to "cast you" into productions that will only cause you more harm than good. I had a good experience but unfortunately there's an element of who to give the unwanted roles to whom and who gets better roles. Also, if you are an actor with a stiff upper lip this is not the agency for you and please do not bully support artists who are there to literally support and respect your privacy. Good experience but this industry is a self employed one so no perks, no medical insurance, union was ok when I was with Bectu had a nasty experience once and nothing was done about it. Also if you are not born in the UK take care with sensitive roles in history or medieval times as actors can get very aggressive, they have to, only they do it to sell a movie but if you are a sensitive kind of soul be warned and be prepared. Large casting calls in crowds are not safe, I was approached many times to work in other industries that I did not want to work for. Human trafficking is a concern is this industry. Grooming, and lies from other people who only join the agency for ulterior motives.

With Casting Collective you always know where you are, details for jobs are clear and there is always a number to message if things become a problem getting to the shoot. Big Plus is they always Release you when not wanted, its so frustrating hanging on to a day 'just in case'.
