I used Argentum to update my latest reel.  Kevin Arreaga was beyond helpful and talented!  He took all my raw material and followed my directions to put together an amazing new reel that really showcases my work in a professional way!  He was very patient and easy to work with and also didn't charge me and arm and a leg.  I would recommend Kevin and Argentum to anyone who had a video editing project.  I plan to hire Kevin from here on out!  Argentum has also helped me to print headshots for myself and my family and they came out fantastic!  Anita More...

First things first:New address: 6844 Vineland (near the Burbank airport but falls under North Hollywood in your gps).If you go to the address above, you will see the Argentum sign & a very empty office, with a viewOf the park. They've left. They didn't go out of business. Visit them at the address above. Second of all -- it's incredibly easy to pass their address. It's not on the street but inside of a lot. The entrance is up the street from the gas station. My photos are akin to an "idiot's guide to find Argentum". I got lost. Learn from me.My visit was quick and very pleasant. I wish I'd gotten his name but there's a very patient and polite man (dark haired, pulled back) who gave me instructions over the phone and showed me around the space. He's the friendliest person there. In the actual video recording room, the backdrop is grey. If you wear grey, you'll blend in. Consider a top that will stand out from the grey. All in all, a good experience. They're prompt with sending your files and the vibe is pretty positive.Plus, if you live alone or don't have friends (jk) they offer self taping services here. You can also do a quick slate shot here too. A quality place that takes pride in its work. I'd come back and I hope you consider giving it a try!Thanks, Argentum! More...

Quality is unmatched. It's been over ten years now I've been going to Argentum for retouching and now the casting suite. I just can't trust anyone else and I know I'm not going to get as good of quality as Argentum. Staff is always friendly. Never pretentious. Always patient. Photos always come out pristine. There's a reason they have such a loyal base within the industry. Save a few more bucks if you need to and go to Argentum if you're afraid it's out of your budget (you are paying for A++++ quality) which you are going to need if you expect anyone to take you serious.

I have had nothing but positive experiences with the staff at Argentum! I started going to them somewhat reluctantly when they were still at their old location, and was hesitant, as the prices seemed high. However, it really is true that you get what you pay for; their prints are truly the best quality in town, and worth every penny!I have had trouble in the past ordering via their website, and I tend to appreciate talking to a person (at the bank, etc.), rather than have the entire experience be online (from start to finish, as Argentum has been implementing for some time now)... and they've always been quick to respond to my emails with concerns, and to accommodate my needs, like okay-ing proofs of reorders via online photos sent by email, rather than physically drive to  them to do so. Also, they are always so friendly and helpful over the phone! Negatives: I have been sad to see that they no longer offer specials around the New Year, when I always used to restock and reprint my headshots. I wish they'd bring that tradition back! More...

These guys and gals are just nice people that do really good work. They will take the time to talk about what you need and what you don't need. But the other night they hosted a seminar on Social Media for I guess about 100 people. I understand with technology progressing the way it is. There could be an inclination for some to skirt some cost thus affecting Argentum. They know that but they still got involved with helping people understand what Social Media can do at a certain risk to their bottom line. It was very very informative. The speaker, Ryan, well known in this area was great. The people there asked good questions. I walked away knowing something but that added up to very little in the big picture. But that was a beginning course. " An overview of how it can help you" and I took away the notes I made placed it in a Microsoft Notebook with pictures, And my day was made. Thank you, Argentum.  I Will Be BackRobbie Goldstein More...

Argentum is great for actor services! Like headshots, post cards, websites, etc... The majority of my experience with Argentum has been on their "hot sets" this is a service they offer to help actors get footage for their reels. Argentum sets up a set, and then shoots the actors in the scene. They use professional quality cameras, sound equipment, editing, color grading, etc... They also film on multiple cameras so that once edited the clip looks professional, and most importantly looks like something that could actually be seen on film, or television. Argentum also uses professional actors as your scene partners, and the actors will also work with you to make sure that you're getting the best performance possible! They're also happy to let you bring your own scene partner.The guys that run the "hot sets" are great as well. They're extremely helpful, and really work hard to make sure that every scene turns well. They're also just cool guys. I know that might sound silly, but when you're spending time with people it helps that they're nice. The price is reasonable for the service being offered, and the quality is high. For anyone looking to add some footage to their reel I would definitely recommend Argentum. I'd recommend them for other actor services as well. More...

I use the casting suite. I like to go here because of Lauren.  She is excellent.  It is very difficult to find her unique balance of skill and generosity.  When working on your audition, she never gives you a sense of judgment; she allows you to work.  She is also great in giving you feedback (if you want it), or she is really intuitive about just giving you space, when you need it.  Essentially she is great, because she really makes the process about you.  If you need a helping hand, she is quite skilled, and willing to help, but if not, she allows you the space and energy you need in order to focus.  These things may sound simple; but when you are in a vulnerable postion, as auditions are quite vulnerable, it's great to have someone as intuitive as her in the room with you. Also, she is great reader.  And, I don't doubt a fantastic actress!Prices are a bit high, but Lauren makes it worth it. More...

Argentum is a full-service photo lab. When I say full-service, I mean above and beyond a typical photo lab. Not only do they do high quality reproductions (which I highly recommend), but they offer casting suites for self-taping, and "hot sets" for throwing down some material for your reel. I also believe they do headshot photography as well. They also host free, informative seminars on a wide variety of subjects. I recently attended the John Dapolito "Acting-Niche" seminar which was absolutely brilliant. It led me to study with him for his brief time in LA, and after two nights I've already improved leaps and bounds. Thank you Argentum for facilitating all the needs of the acting community. Bravo!

If you're an actor and you need headshots, check Ajay. His work is absolutely incredible. If you don't live in Los Angeles, it's worth the trip every couple of years to shoot with him. Ajay has a way of making several different characters (looks) in one session. Plus, he's so much fun to work with. Not only is Ajay's work top notch, take a look at the print work Argentum does for it's clients.

I use Argentums casting suite for all my self tape auditions now. I used to hate having to do them myself, but ever since I discovered this place I actually prefer them. The staff is always friendly, the readers are good at giving you something more to feed off of in your read, as opposed to just saying the lead in lines. I think it's well worth the price, and unless you have 12+ pages of sides and need more than 1 or 2 takes, 10 minutes is usually enough time. The lighting, picture, and sound quality of the tapes looks great and they send them out pretty quickly. Just make sure you show up on time because they do not mess around with those time slots!

Q&As

I love working with actors and helping them be the best they can be. Let's land the roles together, as a team.

This is not a job... it's what we do!
100% Professional!

They should come in if they are serious actors trying to be a part of the Hollywood scene. We can help to get actors to a good spot, but really, it takes determination on their part first. We just help polish them up to be their best!

We can work remotely in sending files and such, but not really recordings that need to be done in person.

We are all very safe and masks are a thing of the past.
Get in here and let us help you land awesome parts!

Services

Seriously?! You can tape yourself at home in your bathroom. That's only if you don't want to land a gig.
Come in and let our staff record and edit your audition professionally and also give you direction so you can land the part.
This is not a game and everyone else is super serious... you should be too.

Argentum is the best in the business for a reason. We have a 30 year legacy brand in Hollywood because we want you to look great and impress CASTING DIRECTORS AND PRODUCERS.
Don't take a chance with your career!
