ExploreTalent

One star is too much for Exolore Talent. DO NOT SIGN WITH EXPLORE TALENT! I filled out their forms and a few weeks later received an email stating that a hair modeling company in Atlanta, GA, had requested me specifically for their gig. I was told to call Explore Talent for what to do next. My mother and I called them (I am a minor so she had to be present) and the first 2 times I called my "talent agent" was in a meeting. Then they called me back and we started asking questions. First of all, the man answering was PAINFULLY SCRIPTED and had no idea what he was talking about. He started listing off auditions in NYC, New Mexico, & Texas. I live in Tennessee so obviously I was very confused. Then he said there was a singing audition (I specifically stated that I could not sing) and an audition for a middle age, African American male. I am a Caucasian, highschool aged, female. He had no idea what was going on and completely ignored our questions. He began asking for money and that's when I knew what was going on. No legitimate agency asks for money before you even look at an audition! THIS IS A SCAM!

I paid money to be fed b. S about how I could land auditions soon and how it usually happens. I could get paid $800 per gig. And not to be worried about not landing a role or a gig.

Lakeisha was my representative who signed me got her commission. She pitched me on the dream.

I signed febuary of this year and its august now still havent landed anything. I basicially found this was a "self service" type of pro gt am where you pay to book your own auditions.
You are Endlessly clicking away at openings in your area. Alot of them you would have to pay to fly to if you are willing to.

You arent working with any of the cast directors directly or have close consistant connections to where you could land a gig.

I couldve googled auditions in my area or other states for free than to pay for some wack self service. Program.

They hype you up in beginning even offer discounts so they can get the commission and customers. You arent guaranteed help. You have to book auditions on the website every day when t he y have openings. The most the rest can do is book some for you ifbyou having difficulties signing up. They are just "customer reps." Simple no connections
Even to try to reach out someone is always busy and a hassle.

The reps can be rude and hang up on you. Its ghetto. And unprofessional. They are about getting their bonuses thats it.

That was my bad experience with this company. I was hoping for a break through for acting and singing career but I hve a better chance going to american idol than these money suckers.
