After submitting my daughters comp card to their website, I get a call a few days later saying that they had an "audition" for a Kelogs commercial and wanted her to come try out. So they scheduled me to come in the next day. When I get there they give me a "script" for her to practice, but it is about milk and not Kellogs. When they call me back I meet with "Jeff", who begins to go over all the movies and actors he has helped with. He had posters on the wall of the movies that he would point to and explain how he was involved, he had old magazines and showed me the pictures of an actor who made it big and he showed me a postcard that was from the actor that was thanking him for his success. He went on and on about all his "work" in the industry, meanwhile Im thinking to myself, well then why the hell are you sitting here if you are such big deal. So after he thinks he has proven to me what a big shot he is he starts showing me all these papers from "casting directors" who are looking for models. He then has my daughter read the milk script for him, and he begins to say that she has potential and he likes her look and they can definetly use her, oh and that he is the number one booking agency for disney. He shows me his website and the models on it and says they are all making thousands of dollars, and that in order for my daughter to get work I need to add her to the website and gives me a form saying that the cost is $400 for the year, and if she doesn't make that back then the 2nd yr is free. Ok, now I think everyone should know that you DO NOT GIVE MONEY TO AN AGENCY!!! They make money off of you! So they lured me all the way into their office with the "kellog commercial auditon" just to tell me that they wanted my money. I was furious, so I left and when I got home I googled the agency only to find that there are many reports of this agency trying to scam people, so Please do not be fooled by them and never give money to an agency, they make money off commission when they get you work!
