It's a school, not an agency!. It's not really a scam since you pay for classes and photography, and you do get to attend classes in things like public speaking, etc and have a portfolio at the end!.

Maybe David did go there, but he's not an actor or a model, is he!. He's a singer!. Maybe the classes gave him the self-confidence he needed to be able to audition for Idol, or maybe not!. But the school did not do anything to get him the slot on the show either!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

EXHIBIT A!. You are about to spend $2295 on it!.

That is your first clue that this place is a scam!. That is not how the legitimate entertainment industry operates!. While it will be necessary to invest in yourself as a business with an acting coach or with various photographers if modeling is what you want to do, paying some "agency" to "teach" you these things is absolutely wrong!. Places like Barbizon prey on the naivety, ignorance and dreams of young boys and girls!.

Do yourself a favor, visit a book store or amazon!.com and research books on the entertainment industry!. A career does not happen overnight or after some 10 week course taught by hacks!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
