I signed with OssLin and for 18 months didnt go on a single audition.
They charged $100 to participate in each of their shows when the scouts they promised would be there never showed up.
I attended one of the conventions they preach about and got a callback from an agency in NYC. However, they never took care of my follow-up work like they promised, and the agency lost interest.
They also charge $500 for comp cards by Kelly Williams and other out-of-towners, which are affected pictures that no legitimate agencies, like World of Kids in Miami, DK Model and Talent in Tampa, and Thursday Artists in L.A., would ever market. Moreover, comp cards are rarely used in the modeling business today.
OssLin also offers acting and modeling classes, which are nothing but practice for the convention, which is useless.
If you live in Southwest Florida and want to enter the entertainment industry DO NOT join OssLin. Find legitimate agents in Tampa, Orlando, and Miami. Although you'll have to commute farther, avoiding OssLin's scams will save you time and money in the end.
I've been in this business for a while and know the ropes. If you have any questions, ask and you shall recieve answers.
