Position:Home>Theater & Acting> Will John Robert Powers scam me?Question: Will John Robert Powers scam me!? I got on the callback list, and I searched around yahoo if anyone got scammed!. Most people said they did, some said they didn't!. They said we have to pay 3000$!. It's in Toronto with Mimi and Patrick!. Today I got an interview with them because I auditioned yesterday!. So is it worth it!? Thanks!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: i think it is worth it but i don't think you are going to get scammed so don't worry i think you did fine!.Www@QuestionHome@Com $3000 is waaaay too much for what they're offering you, which basically amounts to some classes that won't teach you very much and possibly sending your info to a few local agents (which you could do yourself for the cost of the postage)!. also, you should know that almost everyone who auditions is accepted!. John Robert Powers is what could be referred to as a legal scam!. They operate within the boundaries of the law, but they do it in a way that takes advantage of people who don't know much about how the industry works!. I know you want to believe what they're telling you, but you should save your money and go get some legitimate training from people who don't demand thousands of dollars from you!. These are NOT people who are going to help your career!.Www@QuestionHome@Com The problem with these institutions is that they charge dreaming would be actors a lot of money to do something that each person could do on their own if they had patience and were interested in dealing with reality!. Listen, you will have to invest in yourself as an actor whether it be classes which will forever be ongoing, pictures, resumes, etc, but the notion that you will pay this one entity a few thousand dollars for levels and that this will somehow make a success out of you is beyond naivety!. Instead, invest time at the library or a few bucks on Amazon or any local bookstore and research titles like "How to be a Working Actor" or Acting for Kids!. The information that these con artists are selling you for thousands of dollars exists in books for a few bucks!. Www@QuestionHome@Com to be honest with you I don't know I took my son to audition last week and they cme back and said because he had limited experience we had to pay $1995 level 1 2995 Level 2 or 5995 for level 3 either way it's a lot of money for uncertainty!. I researched them online too but didn't get anything convincing enough plus all the actor they brag about having signed with them are in the 60's 70's and 80's Www@QuestionHome@Com Many of the Powers franchises do have bad reputations!. Be very, very cautious!.Www@QuestionHome@Com if you make it just dont give them any money they are posed to be paying you for your acting are modeling when i went it was for modeling and they payed meWww@QuestionHome@Com |
