There was an advertisement on the radio saying that there was a casting call going on for Disney. There were only 200 spaces available and to call right away. When I called the 800 number, I was told that this was, indeed, a casting call for Disney. They said that there would be two directors there from Disney and only had time to interview 200 people for the roles they were trying to fill. I asked them if this was an agency and if they were going to be expecting money and was told, No. He specifically said that they took NO money from you and that they would only get paid if you were picked for the role. So then we show up and are put in this room where the television was blaring Hannah Montana until this jerk came up and started talking about how only a few people are good enough to make it in this industry and if you were one of the chosen few then you were lucky. He was insulting, in my opinion, and tried to make these kids second guess themselves. They may not be pretty enough or skinny enough or have that special quality that makes them unique. It was disgusting. Then after he rambles on for about an hour and a half, they call you up one at a time and tell you that if you are chosen, you need to pay about $6000.00 UP FRONT to go to their school. I would say that it was the biggest waste of time, but at the very least, it showed my girls that there are snakes out there and you need to make sure you do your research before you start handing out your money to someone who tells you they're going to Make You a Star.
