Do not think that Industry Model and Talent Studios is legit. They will impress you with their image and big names in the music business that they will throw around, or claim to be family members of.
I am new to this world and learned the hard way. I was not aware that I could do anything about this. My husband and I signed our son up and had his pictures taken and did the web comp cards and it all added up to an absurd amount. But they INSURED us that he would DEFINITELY get work immediately. They never told us exactly how they worked and we were too naive to ask a lot of probing questions.
Since then I have brought my son to other places that are indeed agencies and have NEVER asked for money up front! If you are EVER asked for money up front, get out of there, chances are they are just after your money and won't try to get any exposure regardless of their sales pitch!
If you have been taken by this place, I suggest you complain to the BBB!
