Sandy, who is the owner and President of this company, advertises her company as "a Christian company". That is FAR from the truth! The way she treats her students AND lies to them is NOT something Christians are in the practice of doing. When we (my wife and I) signed up with this company we were told we had to make a $200.00 deposit, which my wife and I really didn't have, but did anyway! We asked if we were going to have to make monthly payments-"NO!" Sandy said, "we're going to talk about that today, " she continued. She told us about fundraising and asking friends and family for donations to pay our way to fame. I was able to raise $1,153.75 towards my trip to N.Y. Not to mention the $500.00 she "took" out of our account. That was not mentioned when we signed the contract that "they" would be taking $250.00 per month out of our account. When I asked Sandy about this she said "how did you expect US to get paid, did you think your training was free!" "Actually I thought that's what we were doing the fundraising for Sandy!" She didn't like my comment-Yes, I actually said that to her. The packet we received DID have a breakdown of the differences in the prices-Do it on your own or do it with AIG. It only breaks down the do it on your own-NOT w/AIG. So, when she says-"We break it down for you", she's only HALF right! Oh, and the training-let me just say this-my 16 year old son could do it better! Sandy had arranged for a "professional model" to teach us to "walk the runway", but she taught us ALL the same technique... HELLO! Guys DON'T walk the same as girls! She wasn't at this class, so the next time she was, I mentioned this and she actually got mad at ME! Like I should know how to walk a runway-I'm NOT a model! Bottom line is this-if you want to make it big, look for an agent (they SHOULDN'T charge you up front, don't go w/them if they do), at least you won't have to pay out $250.00 each month for WHATEVER it is that Sandy and her bunch is supposed to train you for. One of the students had a monologue w/some excessive swearing-Sandy's comment "you can read that, the judges won't care, they hear it all the time." The other students, incl. Myself said-"didn't you say there are going to be kids there, should they listen to that language?" Sandy said to the student-"it's okay, don't worry about it." Whoa! How Christian of you Sandy. Promoting foul language! As for the Compliment everyone keeps giving her-"she is too tough on her students." Sandys reply-"thank you!" Sandy-it's NOT meant as a compliment... Are you really THAT dumb! It means that you are a MEAN person... Not stearn! Look it up in the dictionary! Mean does NOT mean "good." Wow! When someone is paying for a service and they aren't getting it, they do what I did-go the BBB and the Atty. Generals office. I was not as fortunate as to get a refund of ANY of my money, even though I was only w/them for two months. I'm sure Sandy and Co. Used it for buying supplies-like paper. She goes through a lot of paper! I also noticed that her advertising was removed from Spirit 105.3's website (I'm sure that was voluntary, right Sandy?), but nonetheless, it's not there, so it makes a person wonder... Hmmm. Christian or NOT Christian? Don't be fooled by this misnomer! Oh and Sandy, if I owned a business or company, I wouldn't say ANYTHING negative either-I wouldn't have any clients, so of course you are going to splash this rebuttal with nothing but positive comments and great things to say! Oh, I know it's not very Christian of me to talk bad about other people right!? Wrong-Jesus LOVED EVERYBODY-except the Pharisses-which He only liked. Remember that Sandy! People need to know the TRUTH! There are too many people getting taken advantage of. How many of those people that succeeded in IMTA actually used AIG? Ashton Kutcher? Sean Farris? Nope, nada! Just people that you know. Hey I've met Lou Ferrigno and Elvira, does that mean I can start teaching people how to act. I've thought about writing a book for Dummies, do I qualify? Why aren't you acting now? Okay I'm done. People make your own choices, just don't choose this one.
