Talent website are not the way to go!. The listings themselves are legit, but you don't need to pay for them!. I'm in the DC area and just went to Explore talent to see what they had in DC!. All the auditions they had posted they simply lifted from places like Craigslist, theatre's websites and other resources like acting listservs!. All of which are free to the actor who knows about them!.

So, if you're too lazy to do you're own work to find auditions, then by all means, subscribe to Explore Talent!. Otherwise, do yourself a favor, research the market in your city and find out what the resources are available to actors (which you should do anyway) and save yourself (or your parents) the money that can be used for classes, headshots and gas!.

** Do not listen to the 2 posters below saying how great Explore Talent is!. The are plants and probably work for the company!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Explore Talent is the best possible place for you to find acting jobs!. I have been using them for the past 2!.5 years and the value I got is incredible!. I have landed dozens of acting jobs, way more than I could ever imagine!. The facts speak for themselves!. ExploreTalent!.com is by far world's largest talent website with over 1!.8 million members!. The reason ExploreTalent!.com is so popular is because it has on a monthly basis over 25,000 new auditions and job openings, 10 times more than any other website!. ExploreTalent is providing its members industry's best possible value for their money!.

Exploretalent is the best & most real value site !!

I was suspicious at first, you know the saying "too good to be true", but within a week I got a job for America's Hottest Mom as a judge which will air in the spring-not to mention the countless auditions that I have gone on!. Recently I have done a tv spot for Dog the Bounty Hunter which will air on A&E!. Thanks again, you have made my dream a reality!. Thank you Explore Talent!

uhmm yea just ask dont waste your time on websites!.
thats what i used to do and it got me no were
just take acting classes and such and maybe you'll get noticed by a director or agent!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Any time they are asking money up front is a scam, does not matter what it is!. If you are someone they are looking for, they would pay you 1st!. That is what talent scouts do!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Yes it is!.!. I had joined it, and they kept asking for money, money, and more money, but no real auditions!. Sorry!Www@QuestionHome@Com
