I just met with a sales rep earlier today at this agency. If they are making so much money from placing talent throught their agency then why are they purposing to chargie you for a nine week course at $2,000 per person?!? I didn't fall for it and nor should you! But, a word to the wise: if you are an actor/model and you submit a package to them for review and they tell you that you are a "natural" but that you just need some "training" that they would like to offer you at this month's "special rate" — don't buy it! Sadly, during this tough economic time our country is in; there are a lot of scammer criminials out there looking to rip people off. Don't get suckered! If you have to pay to play just walk away and tell anyone you know about it so that they don't get scammed. These folks will have to answer to the main man upstairs come their judgement day for their actions and it won't be pretty! As one does to others; one does to oneself. Listen to your intuition — it won't lead you astray!
And do your homework too. Don't take anyone's word for it; verify it and then proceed or not. Best of luck! And remember, real life breaks do happen.
This type of business would be a good investigative journalism piece waiting to be done. I'd love to see 60 minutes or Dateline NBC do a segment on these types of so called, Talent Agencies.
