Great Agency!
September 5, 2021

We went to an open casting with Prestige and were a little bit hesitant at first. They provided Acting, Modeling, Singing, and dancing training for their showcase that we attended. We worked with coach Cat, Donna, Bridgett and Mark. They were so good to work with and they prepared us to meet with agents out of LA and Vegas. We were able to sign with one of those agencies and now have a Print, Acting, and Dancing contract! Couldn't be happier with their service!

Scam
September 14, 2021

We spent 1k plus cost to travel to Vegas. My granddaughter did a showcase. We were told they would get back to everyone within a few weeks and its been over 2 months and they have not responded. I have sent 2 nice emails to Bridgett just to check on things and have yet to get a response back. I get every child is not going to book jobs and that's fine, but a simple email back is really not that hard to do when we paid over 1k to your office. Its just basic customer service.

We reach out to the parent listed on the signed contract.

Anyone who didn't get a callback, just as informed at the showcase, is to inform us of the next showcase you want to attend free of charge.

Again, all this is listed on the contract the parent signed. We let our kids perform until the job is done, no questions asked.

It is solely the performers responsibility to let us know which future showcase they plan on attending.

Sitting back at home no being proactive but willing to cry your own laziness via site jabber is your fault, not ours.

Notice how this is the only negative review regarding callbacks. Everyone else listened and enjoyed. It's just basic common sense and being literate.

Prestige Talent Agency is one of the best agencies you could ever want your child to become a part of. Bridgett Foster and Mark Carroll made us feel like family from day one of my grandchild's audition to the end of her actually being herself in front of an Agent. We were so excited to see her perform her monologue and script, guided by the Coach and the growth that she achieved through it all. The coach that guided her was Coach Cat, phenomenal she is. Every step of the way she coached my granddaughter to a level that I had never seen before. This is just the beginning for my granddaughter and I have Prestige Talent Agency to thank for this. It was worth the time and effort and I would recommend this Agency to any parent who is seeking greatness for their child. Thank you Bridgett, Mark and Coach Cat for an experience that my grandchild will never forget and for opening doors for her that she will never forget.

Amazing!
June 18, 2019

Bridgett came to Boise, Idaho and we were sent straight through to LA. Everything was explained to us and what we needed to do and bring and prepare for.
When we arrived in LA Everyone was so amazing and supportive during this whole process. My daughter was excited about the experience and she was picked to be signed with MGMT! We are so excited about this next adventure thanks to Bridgett and everyone believing in us.

I can't thank this company enough for the experience they gave my daughter. Coach Cat was awesome! Bridgett and Mark are professionals and you can tell they love what they do and can see talent with all of the kiddos who walk through their doors (or zoom).
The Zoom classes were fun and informative and my daughter always left the sessions with something new to work on and to improve on. Coach Cat was a great coach. She was funny, kept the kids engaged and always had something positive to say about my daughters work, but was not afraid to also tell her areas to work on. Once in Vegas, the showcase was fun, exciting to watch and such an amazing experience. My daughter walked out of there knowing she did her best and that was all we were looking for. All the kiddos were supportive of each other, the energy was positive and the parents all bonded together as we all cheered each other's child to do their best. But to top it off, my daughter got call backs from 2 agents! This is just the beginning for my daughter's journey and I can't thank Prestige Talent enough.

Not a scam great experience!
April 19, 2022

When we came across an open casting call for prestige talent and my seven-year-old daughter Asked to audition, I was extremely skeptical. She did audition and got excepted into the program.
Pristige Talent offers online additions And group acting classes/coaching. This seems like a great way for people like us in a remote location to get involved in the industry. Not to mention having a group of kids to do it with, I guarantee my daughter would not of maintained interest without the camaraderie of seeing other kids doing it.
My family warned me this was a scam and as a single mother I didn't even have money to sign up. I saw value in this program regardless if she got booked or not. So we put up a go fund me account and raise enough money to sign up at the lowest level.
This level included four acting classes and online additions with Hollywood agents. Our second class was disappointing, so we wrote Bridget to let her know. I requested that Bianca have her previous coach, Coach Cat for her next class. Not only did they meet this request but they went far beyond my expectations and offered us a free make up class with Coach Cat to make up for a less than perfect experience. It was perfect and really restored my daughters confidence and gave her that extra practice so when it was time for the Hollywood agent audition She Nailed it! And got on their Call back list for another audition with the Hollywood Agency!
My advice to parents is if you're in a remote location this is an amazing opportunity in the skills your children learn will stay with them for life. For that reason alone it is not a scam.
However it's a very small chance. And no matter what format you used to get there it would still be a small chance.
But if you have one of those rare special children who been trying to crawl onto stage since they were a baby and are obsessed with being in the spotlight.
They will raise to the top and this is an opportunity worth taking!

After going to a few websites and talking to a few people, they all said Scouts are out there discovering talent all over the country and world, "just make sure whoever you work with are actually in the industry". I ended up reaching out to Prestige Talent.

They were very upfront about what they do. They got my son prepared with commercials, monologues, how to audition, how to interview with agents, walk the runway, the list goes on and on. Then they put him in front agents that were interested in him. He got signed, they even helped with explaining the contract and the workers permit.

Within a month he was going out on auditions. So we couldn't be happier.

In regards to them being a scam? I don't see where that makes sense? Not once did they ever say they'd be responsible for feeding my family while we spent our time in Los Angeles. They did provide simple snacks and drinks during our meetings which was more than expected. We came there to get signed, not taste hors d'oeuvres.

Call them up, look them up, they worked in the business, know the business and got us started in the business. Next time, Asian g. While your crying about nothing, at least use proper grammar and spelling. You're lucky they don't see this and sue you for slander.

Do not ping on her that your kid didnt make it. My child has grown so much finding bridgette. They got signed by someone in hawaii and on stand by for other agencies the love and care she hasfor our family is outstanding. She spots talent and saw my son when other talent scouts were blinded to his potential. I recommend her to everyone I meet andeven had my neighbor sign their kid up.

Dont judge what you got no clue about.
Talent scouts bring you to agencies and agencies get the jobs.

Sign your kid up if you believe in them and she believes in them.
Trust me this is legit.,- Zaltanyah zoeys and zedekiyah mom

My daughter started training with Coach Cat in August and went to her first showcase in October 2021. We arrived a day early for Mark to take her headshots and they are phenomenal. Mark walked her thru posing and made the process so easy. Bridgett and Marked helped us pick out outfits for the showcase and walk thru how the showcase would be the next day. As a parent, I was super nervous about the showcase and they had it down to make it comfortable and fun for the kids. The trainings she received from Coach Cat had her well prepared. She received callbacks from all agents and also has the ability to attend future showcases if we choose. From the beginning, Mark, Bridgett, and Coach Cat have been helpful and responsive to all calls and texts. We couldn't be happier! Thank you Prestige!

Thank you guys for your work with my girls. This journey we have gone on with you is already making a huge difference in their personality, confidence, and life. For that I am so grateful! They are loving the practice we do at home and it has brought our family together and united us. Our work at home is full of emotion and laughter, something we really needed to have as a family.
I really want other families to have the opportunity to find Mark Carroll and Bridgett Foster so I write this review of Prestige Talent LA. Mark is a humble, nice, and patient guy. Bridgett is awesome and works so hard for the kids trying to make sure all aspects of the process are clear. Annette teaches the kids from her heart and is able to connect with the kids through her sincere personality. We have thoroughly enjoyed the time we have spent with each one of them.
If you are looking for a special family to be part of in the modeling world, Prestige Talent LA is totally the place you should look.
If you are contemplating an audition for Prestige Talent LA, from first hand experience I can tell you that you have no obligation to be with them. They do not pressure you or your children. They are amazingly courteous. They are extremely professional. And, most importantly, your children will have fun working with them. I am so happy we found them and had our daughter audition. Through the first four weeks with them, our daughter has come out of her shell. The difference in our daughter is something I will always be grateful for. Thank you Prestige Talent LA.

I, like most parents these days, am always skeptical of new people, businesses, opportunities, etc. When my daughter asked if she could enter an online audition she found on Facebook, I was a bit apprehensive as usual. However, I was sitting next to her and was able to witness how the owners, Bridgett & Mark, and staff, were working with the kids. Their attention to each child was comforting to see and made them feel relaxed and able to have fun. Plus, they were happy to answer all questions asked by us parents.

So, I signed my daughter up for their online acting, singing, dancing, and modeling classes. The coaches were experienced industry people and knew how to guide each kid in the different talent areas. Since this was all new to my daughter, it was exciting to observe the evolution and personal growth she made from the training. When she was ready for more, she attended the Hollywood Agent Showcase where she performed in front of agents for her very first time. And, due to her consistent training and practicing, she was ready and earned her way to IPOP LA 2022!

Parents, this industry sees cute kids every single day and we all think our own is/are cute enough to instantaneously rise to the top. Wrong! They need the right foundation to allow them to springboard past other cute kids. Prestige Talent Management does just that.

While at the studio, we were honored to meet and work with both Bridgett and Mark. They each have quite a bit of their own, first-hand, industry experience and are well connected, which means they know what they are doing! They are kind, grounded, honest and extremely hard-working people. They do what they say and really care about the kids they work with. My daughter has benefitted greatly from working with each. If you want to get your kids started off in the right direction, these are your people.

As an aside, and just my personal observation as a newer mom to this industry, I've noticed that us parents are often times what gets in the way of our own child's success. As a result, I recommend that you take a step back, give your kids some breathing room, and allow these industry professionals to guide you and your kids with their knowledge and expertise.

Thank you so much, Bridgett & Mark!

BRIDGETT
March 14, 2018

Wasn't sure about all the ads I saw about this place. Their ad said they were providing an opportunity to try out for commercials. I didn't believe it. I wanted to know if this "audition" was for a commercial OR just an "audition" for an agency. I tried to get ahold of them prior to the event but they did not return my call. They even sent me a text stating that I was confirmed for my spot the next day. When I responded to the text with my question they never wrote me back. The day of the appointment, I ran in and asked my question before I even brought my daughter in. A really nice lady named Bridgett gave me her phone number and told me to call her with any questions. A few days later I did call and she answered. Her demeanor was TOTALLY different than it was that day in front of all their potential "customers".
I told her there was an auditon in Boise that I had questions about. She said the audition was "closed" and that she would not be able to answer any questions about it. I said, "oh no, I don't care about that, I just want to know so I am prepared for the next time you come". She said she would not answer any of my questions and then she hung up on me! I guess I got the answer to my question! She was very rude!

I myself have never been involved with this or ANY "talent"/modeling company/agency because they're all huge scams and such a waste of time. They claim to have casting calls and have kids casted on Disney shows/etc. This company is ridiculous, they're the biggest scam artists out there so I decided to comment on their page warning people to stay away and as a comeback, they PRIVATELY messaged me with a very rude, unprofessional comment and blocked me from commenting on their page. They've commented back to other people that claim them to be a scam with very rude remarks as well. Unfortunately, there are so many companies out their like this and they get people's hopes up and just drain people out of their money. I've done a fair amount of research and decided to post this so I can warn people to not get involved because they will get completely and totally taken advantage of. So just warning you, any companies like this are NOT WORTH YOUR TIME. They aren't certified agencies, they're looking to get money out of you. This company is absolutely absurd and PLEASE, stay away from companies like this because all that they're after is money. Please do your research on companies like this one, companies that ask for money from you just profit off you, you do not benefit whatsoever. ANY talent/modeling company that asks you for money is not legitimate. Example: they will always bring up how you need to take modeling/acting classes and pay for professional headshots. They say that the big agencies find all their models and actors through companies like this one. That is a total lie. If it is legitimate company, they will not ask for a single cent from you. You won't benefit and make any money from "companies" such as Prestige Talent. All you do is waste your time. Stay away.

Rena M. Has never been a client nor ever received any of our services and has posted a false review.

Prestige Talent is the liaison between the client and the agent. Read our website as to what we do and services we offer. Why would we be an agency that introduces you to other agencies?

Prestige Talent offers training/development and showcases for their clients.

There is a growing epidemic in the entertainment industry that people who are just starting do not think they need to invest in themselves and in the entertainment industry… NOT TRUE.

If you want to be an actor, model, dancer, singer, etc you must train and attain the required, and necessary materials. Those things cost money! No one is going to pay for your classes, training, private coaching, showcases, workshops, seminars, photos, etc, except YOU!

Agents and managers make a percentage from that client. How long do you think an agent or manager will work without the client bringing in some revenue? NOT VERY LONG! Heres why: There are simple steps for you, the talent (actor, model, singer, dancer) to take in order to bring in revenue. You all remember the phrase "It takes money, to make money"? You have to have something to give to bettering yourself as talent, to insure you book, and have staying power within the industry. Otherwise you look as though you are expecting others to do it for you, and that wont happen. Let me be clear this doesn't negate the headline "Do you work for free? NO", they do have several clients and are making money from each of them at different times through out the year, they diversify their client lists with talent at all stages of their career to insure they aren't working for free.

The entertainment industry is just like any other industry, or sport; by which I mean, one must invest in the continuing training it takes to remain competitive. There is far too much talent vying for a spot on a Commercial, TV, Film, Stage, etc that you must do all you can to separate yourself from the pack. If you do not have the money to train, renew headshots, and private coach when needed, you may not see any results. Now having said that, there are sometimes ways around it if you don't have the money, you can ask if you may work for it. Intern or help out at the acting/ dance/ singing studio in exchange for classes. Mind you this may not always work as the studio may be well staffed, and just as the headline states, the studio can NOT WORK FOR FREE. They have to pay the bills.

Now when talent is starting out do they have to take some projects to gain credits that may be little to now pay, yes! You aren't working for free, you are working for copy, credit, meals, mileage/ gas reimbursement, etc. THERE IS SOMETHING GIVEN IN EXCHANGE FOR YOUR TALENT SERVICES, i. E. NOT FREE!

In this industry it baffles me why people think they don't have to invest time and money just like anything else in life. If you want to be a doctor, do you not have to invest time and money in studying, before you can make it back? It is exactly the same in the entertainment industry. Actors are paid well because they work damn hard to get there, and work damn hard to stay there…

Moral of the story, DO NOT GO INTO THE ENTERTAINMENT INDUSTRY thinking someone else should take care of these costs, tasks, investments, commitments etc for you, IT WON'T HAPPEN…
