I have been on your website for about 3 weeks when I got a booking in Nashville and got signed to Alpha Model Group in Atlanta. I also got a job for ASAP Models and signed me on their agencies. These two non-exclusive agencies gave me more opportunities that I can ever imagine. With Explore Talent, I get thrice the chance to be seen, discovered and fulfill my dream of making it big in the entertainment business. Thank you very much. I wouldn't have been able to get these without you, so I am very appreciative! God bless!

I got my first acting job at Explore Talent on January 9,2008. I was part of the cast in a featured film entitled "Releve". The movie was shot on the summer in San Diego, Ca. Since then I've been getting lots of opportunities from the site. I'm really thankful for Explore Talent for giving aspiring talents like me a chance to be part of the entertainment business.

Hello. I am Betty Meyer. I found the link for Explore Talent and decided to give it a try. At first I was suspicious. I got a role in an up coming movie and one year modeling contract! It has been a great experience being with Explore Talent. I don't know why it took me so long to sign up with this site.

Promised my son, that he had roles lined up now, and all i had to do was pay the money to make $500. I told the lady me and my son was homeless and i only had a little bit of money. She said you won't be homeless for long, cause your son is going to be booked and busy. Took the money never heard from them again. Don't believe email me at *******@gmail.com and I will explain to you how they are scammers and should be reported and jailed! Hurricane victims stay away!

Waist of Money
March 22, 2018

I have an account with them for a year. ONE YEAR and I didn't get a single job. I submitted myself and talked to people who work for the company on getting jobs, but nothing came of it. Plus, I was on another site and submitted myself for an audition so of course I was what the title of the film was and the deadlines... well it was past the deadline and then a few days later Explore Talent posted the job. NO the job has expired and they are done looking for actors so why would another website post the casting saying they are still looking for actors... because this site is a scam! Don't wait your money like I did with them

Scam
April 15, 2016

I just got a call from them out of Las Vegas saying I had CDs interested in me but that my profile wasn't up to date. I never remember signing up for this. They had an address from 10 years ago in their system... I never even agreed to sign into "my profile" and instead told them I didn't recognize them as a legitimate business and refused to do so referring to identity theft and scams. They didn't bother trying to call back thank goodness!

In addition, they asked if I have ever "done any acting." If they were really concerned, they could have looked up my IMDB profile. They said I could be making up to $xxx a day... I'm a SAG-AFTRA actor and that number was ridiculously low. Lol, red flags left and right!

Not a scam
May 11, 2016

Okay the reason why other people are saying it's a scam is because 1. Either never got the role they wanted. 2. OR DIDN'T do the application right, or 3. Couldn't or wouldn't pay, so they're trying to get a bad rep for this site, if you want to act, model, sing or whatever. Their are some big chances you have to take, it's not just going to come to you one day and say "hey you're famous" like you actually have to work and try hard for this.

They are scammers
April 21, 2015

I joined them back in 2010. Had my mom pay for it because i did not have money and i told her that i trusted them. Boy was i wrong. I paid and they gave me paper work and he said just wait for my phone call. Its been 5 years. They email me again last week and they wanted me to come in for an audition. I accepted forgetting about them. I checked them out again and i remembered that they took my money and never called me. So i did not go then someone calls me from their and tell me that i missed the appointment and if i wanted to set another. I told her i joined in 2010 and paid money and never got a job. You really think i am going to do that again. So i told her to lose my number and i don't want that company to call me again or i will report them for harassment. Hopefully they don't call me again.

I did not see all of the reviews but i do not pay the fee stated by the first persons review that i saw i pay only about 10% of what she said and i have not have had any real problems i have been pursuing a career for more than forty years and some people can be ruthless in this industry even close relations your own parents even just to have petty desires fulfilled and then there are people whom don't enjoy the numerous careers involved in the entertainment industry and are only there for monetary means, Frederick Stills beam me up Scotty i'm out

Im broke with a dream
November 23, 2015

I applied for the website and I got the free profile. I was ok with that. But then I went to apply for some awesome roles and they said I had to pay $500 to submit the application. I am sorry but I work for a minimum wage job and cant pay that. I really hate websites that try to get money from people who are trying to make their dream come true. That's exactly what they do. If your rich and can get anything you want then go for it. But if your someone like me go to one source talent. If someone really wanted you for the role they would want you and not your money...

A SCAM!
September 12, 2016

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.

Scam
August 4, 2018

Let's think about this people... If you have to give a talent agent money to get a job... it's a scam! They sent me to text messages. Both were asking me for $300 and $250. Then I'd get the details on the job. Plus, I'd get an agent

I got a movie role on the day I registered at Explore Talent. The next thing I knew, I got the part of "Zoe" in the movie Bondage. The short film was shot in my hometown, Phoenix Az. I cannot forget August 5 since it was the first day that we shoot for the movie.

Thank you Explore Talent for your excellent service. It was really worth it signing up with you guys!
