Dawn Martin Talent Scout At JRP Liers, Thiefs, Scammers, Rip Off Artist, DECEPTIVE

I took my 6 year old daughter to an open call audition at JRP and she received a call back which made my daughter feel so special. When I met with my agent, Dawn Martin at her office she had so many headshot and comp cards on her desk so I asked her if any of them were working. Dawn smiled and said, Oh Yes! They were all working JRP students. This made me feel good because I went to Bibizon as a child and they didn't get anyone paying jobs.

I made it very clear to Dawn that I am giving her my last savings money and that I am a single mom who just got laid off. Dawn knew how important it was for her to get my daughter a paying audition so that I can off set the JRP fees. She told me that her niece is right now working and doing very well in the print modeling and acting. She further went on to tell me how she already off set her class fees at JRP and is starting to save alot of her money to prepare for College.

This was all "BULL SH*" coming out of Dawn's mouth. Dawn never called me once after she got my money and when I wanted to talk to her, she was always so busy and on the run. I personally think she was afraid to see me because of what she claim was not truth and her only motive was to scam me out of my last savings money. Dawn is probably pressured to tell every parent coming to the PHONY open casting call that JRP holds, to sign up as many parents as she can by whatever means possible.

My personal experience with JRP came with a very big price but the knowledge I've gained and feeling of expressing my thoughts gives me some gratification that other people reading this will be prevented from being taken and SCAMMED. My biggest disappointment came when Dawn made a big deal out of auditions being held in front of a LA talent scout named "Carol Ann Stevens". When Carol Stevens audition was taking place I was shock to see all the JRP parents and their kids.

The event held on June 9 of this year was the most disorganized and chaotic event I have ever seen. Everyone coming out of the audition with Carol told the same story, they need to take more classes! Not a surprise. Carol gave a presentation of herself and made herself into some big famous well known talent scout in LA but this all a lie. Carol Stevens is a dime a dozen in LA and their are more talents scouts who are more well known than her.

I told many of the parents waiting to audition for Carol Stevens that she was a "has been" and a "marketing tool" for JRP. Carol was there to tell JRP parents to shell out more money for useless classes and probably Carol gets some kind of kick back from JRP for any parents who pay more for classes.

The biggest disappointment came when I realized that the bulletin board posted in the hallway of JRP never got updated and the famous celebrity faces that hung on the walls of JRP never went to JRP or was even associated with JRP. JRP shameful ways to fool people and deceive them by hanging up famous celebrity photos is just DISGUSTING and should be put out of business.

You will never get an answer to their placement rate or number of JRP students who have gotten jobs throught them because they don't find jobs for their Students like they should. JRP may not have the network connections needed to get their students paying jobs or they only really concentrate on is selling classes and using any means possible to sell more classes.

Personally I feel victimized and my daughter feels crushed by this whole experience. My daughter walked away from taking the useless and lousy classes from lousy teacher at JRP and learn absolutely nothing. The only thing she knows now from taking the classes is the word "monologue".

Finally, JRP classes are lousy, not worth the money or your time, they have no placement rate, you will never off set your fees because they will never find you a paying job. If anyone out there feels they want to share there experience with me, please feel free to call (ROR removed because of security purposes)
