They called me and said that I've applied and been selected by scout to go to a free workshop at 369 Sutter St!. San Francisco, CA 94108!. from a lady name Kelly Williams!. I don't remember applying for Barbizon, but I have in the past applied for other modeling/acting places!. I'm searching about it online, but some say that BARBIZON is a scam, is it really!?Www@QuestionHome@Com
Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: I have to say it's a scam!.!.!.!. it's just like JRP (if you haven't heard up it look it up) Barbizon is a "school" and you have to pay for lessons!.!.!.!. did you see that girl before she said it was EXPENSIVE! it's a good 2-3 thousand dollars for 2 classes every month for six months! they don't even teach you that much!. My friend went and all they told her was how to keep yourself looking nice!.!.!.!. 3,000 dollars for that no way!.!.!. tell you what, before you go to that "workshop" look up Barbizon on google and you'll see how many sites that say it's a scam! You're better off with just getting some regular classes instead of wasting your time with money suckers like Barbizon Good Luck!Www@QuestionHome@Com I think it depends!. People say a lot about John Robert Powers as well and I think they are very similar!. They are a franchise, so each one will be operated differently, some good and some bad!. They cost money of course, probably a lot, and they are school only, they do not get you work!. I'd shop around for schools if you are interested in modeling or acting, you might find one you like more!. By the way, the workshop is more than likely a cattle call for people they would like to bring into their school!.Www@QuestionHome@Com i cant say its a scam since i've never done it but i'd say look for other choices in your area so if this turns out to be something you wern't expecting then you have your backups to go to!. also, try the acting training that agents like, sometimes they have it on their websites of what they reccomend!. If you want you could go to this free workshop and then see what its like!.!.just follow what you think but keep your mind open :)Www@QuestionHome@Com no its not a scam!. I went to barbizon modeling school in Chicago!. Its a 6 mos course and you get a big graduation and diploma at the end!. Its very expensive and the make up and portfolio is not included so u pay extra for it!. I don't know if they just got your name from other modeling applications you have filled out but I'll tell you this!. They don't pick everyone!. My friend applied and went to the auditions w me but didn't get in!.Www@QuestionHome@Com |
