Question: Explore Talent Phone Call Help!.!?
Hi im a 15 year old male
I got an email from explore talent for a commercial with skateboard clothes in LA!. i live nearby so its not a problem!.
So I called them and the guy said it pays $200 a day!. I'm not really in it for about the money, I'm trying to add to my resume!. But I'm not going to complain!.lol
BUT they said it has a $199 fee to become a member( future commercials and thing will no longer have this fee)!. I think this could possibly be a scam, what do u think i should do!?Www@QuestionHome@Com

Don't go there!. Politely decline!. Real agencies ONLY take money from you once a client has paid for the job (you get what's left, after agent's fee, tax etc is taken out: about 1/2 to 1/3 less the quoted price!.
They *can* ask for professional head-shots to be done, in which case you have to bite the bullet and fork out (at any agency), but it's a tax deductible expense!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
ExploreTalent brought a success!. I Got movie role in 5 days, I made $1,000!.
Let me tell you, in only five days after I signed up over ExploreTalent!.com, I was picked up for a role in a movie called "Coming Attractions," shooting here in Orlando!. It has many stars cast such as Angie Everheart (Supermodel/Bordello of Blood) Micheal Laslow (Beverly Hills Cop Movies) Pat Morita (Kirate Kid) and many more! I always knew that this site was different from all of the scam sites who don't even provide you with anything you need!. Just some address to send off a headshot and resume to a Casting Director, or Production company when they end up throwing all of those out anyways!. Explore Talent Allows you to book yourself!. Thanks to everyone at Explore Talent, who helps me to have my submissions out right away!!

Do not trust them!. You should never have to pay anybody for you to model!. If you are really serious about modeling then get your parents involved!. And try to send pictures to legit companies!.!. Like i said you should never have to pay time anything!. It is just a scam! You can be a commerical model, if that's what you want!. Or you can try to find auditions and attend some!.There are really no big requirements for that!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

That is absolutely a scam!. They're asking you for money, which a legit client would never do when hiring talent for a commercial!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
I just want to say thanks to ExploreTalent!. ExploreTalent have really helped me in this business!. I was turned down by so many agents and managers that I can't even count them on my fingers!. I have even been scammed by two of them!. I found my new manager that I am signed right now on this website from one of the auditions!. I auditioned for the management and was signed two weeks later!. I am so excited and now I have movies in the works and so much other projects!. I couldn't be more happy!. You guys truly are awesome and I recommend everyone and anyone who wants to be an actor or singer or dancer this is the place to be!. That send you to nothing but the best auditions and take it from me it may take time to get accepted to most of the auditions that you are casted for but believe me its worth the time!. Remember its not your choice its what has already been mapped out for you, so don't hesitate!. Sign up for exploretalent!.com and you won't be disappointed!. Thank you once again!.
