StarNow.co.uk

Thanks to StarNow I have a fair few projects on the go at the moment and hope to get cast again real soon.
Two of the shorts I did recently (lead roles), that were cast through StarNow, have been entered into the Galway Film Fleadh (Festival). And a StarNow casting that I played the lead in last year was shown at the Cannes Short Corner this year!
I also cast a short that I wrote through StarNow and that worked out very well.
I find the job application process as well as the casting process real straightforward with plenty of ongoing feedback as the process evolves.
So high hopes for the future all round.
A big thank you to StarNow & the team.

I've had a great experience using StarNow, it's helping me build an online artist portfolio. As a recent graduate and art Major, I seek to implement what I have learnt in school. StarNow has given me the oppertunity to do so. Oppertunities can be paid, or voluntary, which allows action for enjoyment or work. StarNow staff are quiet compliment, although I admit they can take a bit of time to get back to you (but not everyone can reply right away, so it's forgiveable). An affordable priced site, and well organized.

Anyone seeking to enjoy themselves with their talents should sign up to this site. However, keep your expectations not too high, because jobs are awarded both on experience and talent. I find doing voluntary work has built up my portfolio and is now helping me get paid jobs. (Just as some advice)

I was on starnow year ago I created few account s because they kept deleting my account I made new Email plus sign d up with them I uploaded my photos and they deleted my account over and over so I used my other email to join again same again deleted by them then they told me if I join they would report me that's bad website and that's wrong what she said and sent me bad email link I wont forget that I help this out year s ago and this is the thanks you get deleted and get told never come back again what kind of website so call ceo says that to anyone thing is there is scammer s on there I Noticed when I used to be on there they don't care all they care about is money of people who pay membership s fact

I felt compelled to write this review to warn others to be careful with the reoccuring payment structure.

6 months ago I paid £29 to starnow for a 6 months membership for my daughter. I have rarely used her profile and so to be honest totally forgot about it until I see a payment of £29 has been taken out of my account a few days ago for membership renewal.

I contacted them to advise that due to the covid situation I would like a refund as had no idea that the account was set up by them to auto renew every 6 months, I didnt complete a direct debit for this new payment.

They refused a refund and
I explained I felt this unfair because you should warn people payment will be taken from their account and secondly with the current covid situation there are no jobs to cast for so paying for a non existent service. They refused even a small refund.

So basically I just paid starnow £29 for absolutely nothing. And theres nothing I can do as their terms are no refunds.

My advice is if you do join up to star now make sure you go to settings and turn off reoccuring payments. Or email them and ask them to take you off auto renew payments. You could end up paying for years and not even realise it if you dont check through bank statements.

You guys knows me, Mrs Nayak

I took a free trial to see hows the website for a month, and boom there goes R320 off my cheque card yesterday. *I never signed up to be a full member, *i never gave authority to take money from my account, which in my eyes i feel its fraud. They dont email you to ask if you want full subscribtion, they just take you money. Let me quote the email.

StarNow, being a full member (Hopefully Pro Soon) ehem :D I can tell you and provide you with work that STARNOW has brought great things in to my life and achieved things that i thought i would have never accomplished before. Its not all about money i did jobs that was no pay ans did jobs that was with great pay, had met some amazing people on sets and made a great group of friends. I have been on the new VAUXHALL car advert, i am currently being featured for a major big movie through maddogcasting once again through the starnow website. Once again thank you so much this week 22 june been shortlisted 8 times. If i can do it why cant you? Believe is the key. Thank you. Can Kabadayi

I VISITED STARNOW.COM AND THOUGHT THIS WOULD BE AN INTERESTING WAY OF GETTING WORK AS A MODEL. HOWEVER THE ABUSE I EXPERIENCED WAS NOT ANYWHERE NEAR A PROFESSIONAL WAY OF DOING BUSINESS. THEY DON'T TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR AGENTS CONTACTING MEMBERS, I WAS CALLED A VARIETY OF NAMES - TOTAL WASTE OF TIME DON'T LET THEM 'RIP' YOU OFF. CASTING NOW IS ANOTHER COPYCAT SITE. DON'T BELIEVE THEM OR THEY WILL TAKE YOUR IDEAS AND MAKE MONEY OUT OF IT FOR THEMSELVES.

Do not sign up because when u try unsubscribe they will block u I will be reporting them to trading standards

They have had a new update that took days. Since then I am unsubscribed according to them (should be active until July). I will NOT be reviewing.

I joined StarNow back in the day and have found the company to be - in my opinion - the best site for both aspiring and fully professional working artists. My company has discovered a wealth of talent via StaNow and some have gone on to great things. One of the nicest things I have personally found is the fact I have made many good friends over the years with StarNow - I regularly receive news of their progress from America, New Zealand, Australia and of course Europe and the UK. Keep up your stirling efforts on behalf of the artists of today and tomorrow StarNow - long may you reign supreme for us all in the wonderful life we all call Show Business.

To the people associated with "StarNow", thank you so much, I want to give you hugs and kisses!
Your website is a godsend. It certainly keeps a mature aged lady on her toes.
I recently applied for a job on "StarNow", and I got it!... I rode a bike for the day!
MATURE MALE AND FEMALE EXPERIENCED ACTORS NEEDED FOR WELL PAID TVC.
My pretend hubby and I had such a great day!
Then I got together again for VO, which I love doing.
I am in the middle of an independent Full Feature Horror called 'Saving Grace'. I am also about to embark on a tropfest black comedy, Behind Closed Doors, as Gwen, a saucy, fun lady.

This is all recent and from "StarNow", so good on you, and keep it coming!

Cheers,

Carole Sharkey-Waters
