JRP gets you in to their cattle calls with the radio and print ads full of name dropping.
Do not be fooled by this when you call in they will tell you that there are only a few spots available and they won't give out any details about the "audition" or what they kids are auditioning for.
Once you get there you will be shown videos and pictures of JRP "graduates" and sit through a sales pitch and then meet with the "agent" who by the way was paid to be there followed by a meeting with the "talent scouts" who are out of work actors trying to make a buck (they only get a commission on what you pay)
You then read a short commercial in front of a department store video camara with no tape in it, and they tell you they will review the tape (notice that if there is a tape there are tons of other kids on it reading the same commercial when they rewind it for you) the next day when you call in they congratulate you on making it anc schedule a call back, that's when the high pressure sales begin at the call back.
If your child wants to act, model or dance there are plenty of free or low cost classes locally that will give them the same if not a better experience than JRP.
Don't be fooled
