I can't believe I got myself caught up in such a scam. Do yourself a favor and look up reviews on…read morethis company on google and the better Business Bureau before ever doing any kind of contract with them. A modeling school posing as a talent academy, coercing you in a hard close to sign up for modeling courses in order to be represented by their company. Now I'm stuck with a contract that I am realizing that I can't get any work for because there is barely any work in Las Vegas and all of their Utah castings are mainly for Utah locals. Not only that but a lot of these jobs require you to have no tattoos. Knowing I had tattoos on my body why would you ever let me sign a contract knowing that it's going to be something that is going to work against me? I feel dumb for being so coerced, but it looks like I wasn't the only one upon doing further research. Do yourself a favor and just run the other way the second that one of their so-called Talent scouts drops into your DM's telling you that you have such potential.

I am a…read morefull-time actor and I was looking for representation in the growing Utah market and I responded to one of their postings that they are looking for new talent. I responded and received a link to schedule a phone interview. We had a seemingly pleasant telephone interview with a lady named, Ali Clark, but what striked me as odd/scammy is that they required that I take an acting class via zoom with a lady named "Heidi at UFA," in order to be signed as an actor. The class was $600 ($300 which I had to pay before finishing my call right then and there and the other $300 would be debited out the weekend I started my class). I'm not here to toot my own horn, but I just finished studying at the New York Film Academy, and they tell me that I need to take some random class to get signed. Yeah, ok. I should have known better, but I paid the first installment. After speaking with some actors that they represent who told me that the "agency hasn't gotten them anything yet," and after speaking with some industry friends of mine, they felt that I'd gotten scammed, I asked Stars Talent for my money back and they ignored every text/email that I sent. The same goes for the reps at the acting school. To sum it it, DON'T even speak to them. They're clearly here to make a buck off of hard working actors' backs.
