Question:

Talent Agencies.?

Hi. I have recently been contacted by a L.A. talent agency. They asked me to meet them at a local hotel. First, is this just a scam, like, "We cant use you now, but take our 6 week course and you just might?". and second off, how did they get my information?

Be very very very careful. People do not get contracted this way. You go on many interviews with real agencies and also real agencies do NOT meet you at hotels... this is definately a scam and might be dangerous on top of that... PLEASE do not go to this. If you are interested in an acting or modeling career then go about it the right way... usually if something is too good to be true it IS and you should always trust your gut!
