I would like to inform the rest of the oh, so gullible population what a waste of money John Robert Powers is. I found them on the internet, because I wanted to act. I would not call myself a beauty queen, and prefer to act and write scripts and music.
I sent off for the flyer and they promptly made an appointment for me to get "camera tested". They tested me in front of the crowd of other potential victims and I wowed the audience. I did great as well in front of the camera. They then took me back to the back office and told me I was accepted into their "prestigious" acting and modeling school; because I was talented and beautiful, ha!
After attending the school, they told me I needed to work my way up and eventually get into actual acting classes. So, I was in image class and all they wanted to teach was ettiquite and how to set a table. They told me I was "way too short" for runway, and yelled at me constantly when I couldn't walk runway, (Hey, I'm short, Spanish-American and have scoliosis~!)
After a while I developed kidney stones and was forced to miss several Saturdays of classes. They seemed empathetic, and assured me my money would be refunded and that I could make up the classes.
Also, when I joined JRP I was PROMISED in contract form that my headshots, with 3 changes of clothing from THEIR photographer would be included with my $1,800. $1,800 is not easy for a single mom to afford, and consequently throw down the drain.
I was never allowed my makeup classes, after a few makeup classes; and they pictures were not allowed either. They wanted almost $1,000 for these photos to occur. I would not send my worst enemy to this scumbag, "modeling school".
