ExploreTalentReviews 248

I just want to say thanks for Explore Talent. You guys have really helped me in this business. I was turned down by so many agents and managers that I can't even count them on my fingers. I have even been scammed by two of them. I found my new manager that I am signed right now on this website from one of the auditions. I auditioned for the management and was signed two weeks later. I am so excited and now I have movies in the works and so much other projects. I couldn't be more happy. You guys truly are awesome and I recommend everyone and anyone who wants to be an actor or singer or dancer this is the place to be. That send you to nothing but the best auditions and take it from me it may take time to get accepted to most of the auditions that you are casted for but believe me its worth the time. Remember its not your choice its what has already been mapped out for you, so don't hesitate. Sign up for exploretalent.com and you won't be disappointed. Thank you once again.

My bad, that i registered with this company online but stopped short of giving money for their membership as i was uncomfortable.
Got a call after 1 week and somehow Charles from Explore Talent convinced me to try out 6 month membership for $188, saying that i can cancel anytime. If satisfied, i will be charged 6 monthly for the same amount. Was told i will get some audition for sure within first week.
Immediately after the phone call, i just reviewed the company online for my satisfaction. With so many bad reviews and 1 * rating, i right away called back and asked to cancel my membership asap.
I was told that all the ratings are just few of the dis-satisfied customers. When i insisted 1* rating is impossible with few dissatisfied customers, i was finally transferred to customer service for account cancelling.
I was told my account has been cancelled and i will receive email shortly. I never got that email. Next day when i again called, Charles again convinced me to hang on for 1 week and then cancel for full refund if dis-satisfied.
Since then i called 8-10 times in 3-4 days time, but was always on hold forever. Finally i filed fraudulent charges with my Credit Card company and disputed the charge.
I would give them '-5' star rating if possible.

I got taken for $120.00 from these people! I signed up for free account. The next day I received a call saying that they had two casting directors waiting to hear from me on two major movies paying $800. A day each both lasting for two weeks. I had to upgrade to PRO account ASAP so they could submit me to the casting agents because this was an Urgent Casting Call and the agents were waiting to hear back from me to arrange travel and hotel to the casting call. I paid the money and have never heard back from anyone! I check the people that have visited my profile and they are all other actors, not one visit from a casting agent! This is total Crap and a total SCAM! Read what everyone else is saying about them online by google search and listen! Don't be taken in by these people by ignoring what everyone else is saying. They talk a great game, tell you that casting directors are asking for you and then once you pay you get NOTHING! SCAM ALERT!

DO NOT I REPEAT DO NOT SIGN UP FOR THIS WEBSITE! THEY ARE SCAMMERS! I signed up and they called me and some chick I believe her name was Denise or Tiffany I dont know but I heard noise in the background and a british lady as well. They said that you need to pay 90$ just to be an extra for a wolverine role. Really $#*!, Im not that stupid, Ive been an extra before and they are always free. My mom was also talking to the lady and she would not leave us alone and my mom told her we were eating dinner and that $#*! scammer wouldn't hang up. Screw you mother $#*!ers Id rather help the community

My profile expired in 2012 which is why I found it so weird that I got a call from Explore Talent this week saying that casting directors are interested in me for a speaking roll in the new Avengers movie. I was really confused because my information must have been so outdated by then, especially my height, hair, and location, so obviously they didn't know what I even look like anymore even though the guy on the phone insisted that they wanted me specifically. I kept asking for more information about the role/dates/why they wanted ME, but he said he'd have to connect me to the casting directors so he put me on hold. 5 minutes later he gets back on and says my profile expired a long time ago and that in order to log into my account from his computer he'd need to update my membership. I STUPIDLY gave him my credit card info before asking the price of membership renewal. Almost $500 for a 2 year membership. It DEFINITELY wasn't that much when I first got a membership. I told him nevermind, I can't afford it and that I needed to think about it and that I'd call him back later. And at this point it was sounding pretty scammy to me anyways. He was really stubborn and kept saying I'll make back the money in no time with the roll and that he needs a decision right now because the casting directors are waiting (even though I waited all weekend to call him back after his initial voicemail so obviously if they can wait 3 days they can wait another hour) but I said I'm not interested. He said "Okay, fine, I will offer the opportunity to someone else and you are missing out". Stay awayyyy

The company is fradulent! A total and complete SCAM! Please notify authorities if they contact you. I run a high school drama club, and this company CHARGED a family $180 for "setting up an audition" for their 8 year old child for a role in a high school drama club production across the state, over 200 miles! To a show that is not at all open to any student outside of our own school - which we don't charge ANYONE to audition - incredible. The authorities have been contacted and I hope no one else falls for this scam. It's a phishing scheme, plain and simple. Our auditions are not open to the public nor were they advertised anywhere as such. SCAM! My heart goes out to the victims of this company. Please, people. NEVER pay money to anyone to get your child onstage.

So I received a voicemail with a woman expressing interest based on my online profile.
I had signed up for a few acting profiles so I decided to give them a call back (in the back of my mind well aware that it was a scam)
The woman was incredibly rushed and the background noise was nearly unbearable resulting in her shouting into the phone.
She gave this whole rundown of how amazing their services were, how much money I could make, an opportunity for a casting call in Palmdale for The Avengers Infinity war. (Red flag number 10 by now)
Palmdale is not far from Los Angeles. So I was incredible skeptical as to why they wouldn't have me go down to LA where most casting calls are.
So basically after this woman babbled on and on she finally gave me the chance to OF COURSE buy a subscription to their services.
When I explained to her that I would not purchase the services without knowing if they actually work she insisted it was the only way I would be cast. That Talent Agencies take a percentage of my money.
I responded saying, look I told you how you were going to get my money, if you don't like that then you don't have to do business with me. She began screaming at me saying that's how talent agencies work and that I am ignorant about the program, which I had googled while she was going on and on earlier in the phone call.
I reiterated that I was not interested in paying for something that I wasn't sure was a set thing and if she wanted my money they would have to offer a free week trial in order to prove the services work.
She then shouts at me that I have no money and hung up.

So ive had my profile for about 2 weeks now & i got a call today & it was a lady. It sounded like she was in a restaurant or something like it was nosiy which i found weird. & Then she tells me how My dress is pretty on my pictures so i figured she was looking at them & then she asked where i bought it like it just sounded non professional & then she asked if she could. Speak to my Parents & i told her they were busy at the moment but that i would call back later. & She just mentioned something about money i really couldnt understand nothing because she was in a loud place & then i heard her mention clothing line so i hanged up & im here like im going to see reviews with this site & well turns out there experience is similars to mine so ya i think Its a scam & im going to delete my pictures etc.

You mean an offer for money is on the Internet and it turns out it actually isn't true!
OMG its on the Internet and it isn't true! But but but... its on the Internet? How the he*l can it not be true? Just the fact that Explore Talent has money to create a website is proof that there is a serious problem with EDUCATION. Hey people, yes you of all ages. Next time you have the opportunity to learn something from a teacher, stop talking, stop being "cool" stop snorting, smoking, interrupting, and\or generally being an $#*! and LISTEN-LEARN pay-attention. OR... you may just get scammed for time and money later on because you were too stupid to make a good decision for your own life. Maybe you should have learned how ridiculously easy it is to have your own website, untraceable phone number and BS scripts so you can spend all your time between "trips" answering calls from idiots who will give you a credit card number if you just have "people skills" and tell them what they want to hear. Does that sound like a good business model to you?
You can redeem yourself by doing America a favor and not voting for anything... ever!
P.S.School is free here, check it out.

The positive reviews on here are from ExploreTalent reps trying to recover from the truth, do not trust them.

I checked this out, they got my email, but through an email exchange with a rep, I discovered that they tell you about roles not in your area, roles you could not possibly make happen. Now they are spamming my cell.

On here their email is *******@yahoo.com, ask yourself why. Why not something at exploretalent.com? NO transparency, NO Truth, NO Real Acting Roles.

You have been warned.
