Testimonials

“Ken Lazer has quickly become my go-to resource for casting on the east coast. I recently completed working with him on my third project for a major client and he continues to come through in a really big way. He has proven to be resourceful, reliable and genuinely fun to work with. I wholeheartedly recommend him to any producer looking for a casting partner in this region.”Joshua Evan GreenbergProducer
“Ken goes the extra mile… always. He’s a wonderful creative partner who finds a way to get more… more choices, more options, better performances even the right costume during an audition. Ken can work with any size budget and will tell you how that affects what your choices will be. But most of all, he’s genuine and straight forward…”Steven HoltzmanProducer
“Ken Lazer is great at what he does and is a pleasure to work with — even under pressure situations. We have worked with Ken for several years. He has cast voice and on camera talent for us –all with exceptional results. Ken is a highly recommended resource.”Laura DantonaProducer
“I worked as a consulting Producer on a Doritos Commercial with Ken Lazer, as Casting Director. Ken is one of the most motivated, dedicated, thorough and passionate casting directors I have worked with. He is open minded, caring, and considerate and always extraordinarily professional, making sure the client has everything they need when they need it. Ken really came through under a high pressure situation and deadline. In this business where most people are ‘off the clock’ during evening hours, Ken was there one late night and communicated with me to resolve a problem the day before our early morning shoot. He cares about his work and has integrity and it shows in everything he does. He really cares about who he works with both client and talent and he gets the job done well. One of his biggest attributes is his knowledge of the SAG rules governing most of our business. He has an amazing eye for talent. I had nothing but a great experience working together and would call on him for any project or commercial.”Laylah SmartProducer
“I have hired Ken on numerous occasions for casting on camera talent for various Web/TV projects. He has surprised me each and every time with the quality of the talent he is able to find, and I will continue to use him in the future. His attention to detail, and the effort that he puts forth in each session is very apparent when going through the casting options he puts together. Also the way the casting is setup on his site is very easy to use and client friendly. I recommend Ken Lazer Casting to anyone who needs to find good union/non-union talent in NYC.”Jeff RoosProducer
