BARBIZON MODELLING - Anyone with experience to please tell me how things went?

Question:Okay, well I went to the auditioning and I want to be a model and actress, possibly even a singing. I learned about Barbizon because they came to my highschool for the college fair.

Anyways, they said only 16 people out of 250 got callbacks. The next day it turned out I was one of the callback people. I go to their appointment for callbacks and the lady just filled out the paper and asked for the credit card for like 3,000 bucks! She also wanted my baby sis, which was like 2,000 bucks. All in all my mother had to pay 5,000 bucks for both... and the lady didn't even say much. She just flattered on and told me she was excited - she's a talent scout or whatever.

So... I learned about the IMTA thing which is 5,200 bucks more, right? What do you do there?? Thats a lot... I'm not sure if it's worth the $$

most importantly: WHEN EXACTLY WILL WE GET NOTICED OR HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE SENT TO CASTING CALLS OR GET AN AGENT?

these are for classes. i want real casting calls...

I would definitly get your money back, but also check out IMTA. try google or yahoo, my agent wanted me to attend it but I didn't have the money at the time.
Good luck and remember if you have to pay stray away!

call your credit card company and get your money back

it's a rip off
