Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
ANSWERS TO YOUR QUESTIONS:
1!. NOT MUCH - THEY ARE KNOWN FOR THEIR MODEL TRAINING - NOT ACTING
2!. I WOULDN'T CALL THEM A SCAM - I WOULD CALL THEM VERY, VERY, VERY OVERPRICED
3!. THEY MAKE YOU READ A SHORT SCRIPT AND TALK TO YOU ABOUT GETTING TRAINING
4!. AN ACTING AGENCY ( WHICH COSTS NOTHING) IS VERY DIFFERENT FROM AN ACTING SCHOOL ( WHICH CAN BE EXPENSIVE) AN ACTING AGENCY REPRESENTS ACTORS AND TRIES TO GET THEM WORK WHEN PRODUCTIONS ARE SHOOTING IN PHILLY -
CONTACT THE PHILADELPHIA FILM COMMISSION ( A NON PROFIT ORG) TO SEE IF THERE ARE ANY PRODUCTIONS SHOOTING IN YOUR AREA WHERE THEY ARE CASTING LOCAL TALENT!. THEY also MAY BE ABLE TO GIVE YOU THE NAMES OF LOCAL TALENT AGENCIES AND CASTING DIRECTORS - THIS ALL FREE!. IF THE AGENT GETS YOU AN ACTING JOB - THEY WILL TAKE 10% OF THE MONEY YOU MAKE - THIS IS CORRECT AND PERFECTLY LEGAL - ANYTHING MORE ( UNLESS YOU GET A MANAGER WHO CAN TAKE UP TO 15%) IS A SCAM!
BEWARE ANYONE WHO TELLS YOU THEY CAN "GUARANTEE " YOU WORK FOR A FEE -THEY ARE SCAMMERS !!!!!
GOOD LUCK!Www@QuestionHome@Com

heres the basic idea: if they make you pay any money, even if its for training, don't do it!.
