The 39steps Casting was recommended by quite a few people who I knew from film shoots. I could simply not ignore the positive utterances from those who were booked by this casting agency. At that time The 39-steps Casting were the new kids on the block and I was a bit skeptical at first, as casting agencies in Cape Town were coming and going fast. I did not know enough about the industry to trust my judgment, but based on very good references by people who had first-hand experience working for these “new kids”, and people who I trusted and respected, I decided to give it a go and made “that call”. Well! I have never looked back. My experience too, has been a positive one. I have done many shoots since then.
When I first met the team. I was greeted warmly and immediately felt that I had done the right thing. The photos for my portfolio was taken professionally and in the in-house studio. The photographer was patient and determined to get the best possible shots and angles. When I am booked on a shoot, I am always armed with the necessary knowledge in order to ensure a trouble-free and as comfortable a time as possible on set. One thing I can say is that they care. The bookers are always available when questions need to be answered and I have always been able to get hold of my booker when needed.

Let me begin by saying before going into this industry, I was very much an introvert. I took an optimistic chance going into this 'extra/feature/casting' business, and I can honestly say without a shadow of a doubt, it's been one of the best decisions of my young life. The 39 steps had made me feel so welcome and WANTED! Through their expert management of my professionally made portfolio, I've met hundreds of new people and made dozens of new friends from across cape town. I've seen more of the country than I ever have before, and of course, I've made more of a financial savings now than I ever did when I was working in retail. So to sum everything I've said up, my time with the39steps has been, and continues to be, an extremely enjoyable experience. All I can really say is, thank you so much to Mark for starting this business. It's directly because of him I am as happy as I am now.

I registered with The 39 Steps Casting Agency on the 6th day of February 2013, over the period of 3 years and counting I have come to realization that The 39Steps is the most RELIABLE casting Agency.
Having worked for all the agents I can for SURE say they are very TRANSPARENT, CONSISTENCE and EASY to relate with.
There have been times that I needed some clarity either of job confirmation or payment related queries, and their response has ALWAYS been PROMPT, making The 39Steps Casting first and the BEST amongst rest of other casting agency.
Working for The 39Steps Casting has ALWAYS been a PRIVILEGE and FANTASTIC OPPORTUNITY I look forward to all the time.
