Lights! Camera! No Action! Ladies and gentleman if you are reading this review you are obviously…read moredoing your research because you have been contacted by or heard about this company. You are looking for a break in the industry and this only seems like a legit way of doing things. Here we go. This review is based solely on my opinion and my life experiences as a entrepreneur. I was called to this group for what I believed was background work for a movie set or tv show. I always thought it would be fun to be a part of this exciting industry. I submitted my pictures, along with my contact information, and within a day I was on my way to be in the industry. Or so I thought. Arrived promptly at 12:50pm for my 1:00pm appointment. Me, along with 50 other dreamers, were checked in and escorted to a room. This is where a "director of the southeast offices" gave a dazzling speech about the thousands of people he submits to casting all over the world. He had photos of 3-4 people that have "made it" whom I have never heard of. That doesn't mean it isn't so, but I digress. Next you're called to go to another room for photos by someone with a Canon camera. A couple of snap shots and your back to the waiting room. Lastly, "the interview"!!!!! Now they want to know how serious you are about acting, modeling or singing. I'm sure most people would say 11 on a scale from 1-10. These are the folks they are banking on that are going to shell out $500 and $40/mo to be in their system. If you say anything under 6, which I did, they know you're not a target and get you out as soon as possible. Now folks, I have been a seasoned entrepreneur for over 15 years. I have seen a lot of business models and I appreciate a good hustle. HOWEVER, I have a passion for warning people about getting involved with any company that preys on your dreams. Here are a few facts to consider. 1. Your network is your net worth! Do background jobs that don't cost you money and network when you are there. You never know who you're going to meet. Just like this company says in their speech "your personality gets you the gig" 2. You should never have to pay someone to get you a job unless they are your agent. Why would you pay money to make less than what you are paying to be a "member". Anyone can get headshots and compcards these days. This is 2019 folks. 3. Do your homework. Please! Don't get caught up in what you believe is not the real deal because your gut is right. Now you're probably asking yourself why I gave this place two stars instead of one if you have read this far. That's because I can't say for a fact that they haven't helped one out of the 1000's that pay the money. Is there a chance it may work out, yes. Is there a chance you can spend $2 and win the lottery, yes! I believe in supporting dreams but not supporting businesses that are looking to take advantage of your dreams. Side note: I was contacted for background work on the show "Greenleaf" by an actual casting company and it did not cost me a dime. It was a great experience! That's my $.02 and I hope this helped in your decision making process.

It's a scam, they're doing it legally though...

You'll receive emails to your own personal "account" After payment. Once you enter the password and username they give you, you're prompted to a page where you must accept term and services and I took the liberty of providing a screenshot of it stating that after you accept you are no longer able to receive a refund. And they encourage you to delete emails and information from your device. DO NOT ACCEPT TERMS AND CONDITIONS WITHOUT FIRST READING THEM. Especially if you're not so sure. From research no agency will ask for payment or fees up front.

Hello I'm an aspiring petite model who was extremely…read moreoptimistic about the Agency, so signs that where in front of me about the company went over my head untill my third evaluation, they are an agency strictly about getting paid. $$$. They where suppose to help me get started for a fee of $495.00. I ask an employee if she could give me ideas as to what to wear for a shoot and she said no. Solely because I asked to use my own photographer. During a grop interview a private interview and 2 evaluation they said they wouldn't help me get started. For the lack of customer service, inconsistency, and indifference I highly recommend other aspiring models, to spend your money else where. DO RESEARCH. Thank you Shannea

Lesa tells infinite lies. Be wary of these 5 star reviews. I've never been told so many lies by…read moresomeone who is actually in business anywhere and hasn't gone completely bankrupt. I am flabbergasted & gave her a million chances to make it right, but she does not see us as valued clients. All she sees are cash cows! Do not fall prey. To start, I have been repped by an agent previously. in ONE month, he had me meet far more potential casting directors for commercials & modeling than she did in over a year AND I didn't pay a fee with him. Period. What I believe this woman needs is a class action lawsuit and no I'm not kidding. Let's start from the beginning. She responded to my app, went into office. She gives everyone the same song and dance- we just booked this person for this much money, and this for that and blah blah blah. The first lie is wildly overpromising implication that you will get bookings like this. Exact percentage unknown - assume 90% of you won't. She is not discerning in who she chooses to bring in as long as she can get her money from you. So, I asked multiple times - do I need the acting classes to get booked. I do not live anywhere near here and would like to use this money to take acting classes elsewhere. I told her this over & over. Every time she said no- you don't need the classes. She implied that I would see similar demand and bookings. She also told me that this money goes to the teachers. Sure, I'll bite. Maybe some of it does, but how much do you keep, Lesa? And don't lie... it will be hard for you. So, if you're part of the (exact percentage unknown- assume 90%+) of people who pay the $2K+ and never even get close to making this back, you aren't alone. Another lie - I wrote a review to this effect previously. She IMMEDIATELY sent me a text. I deleted it and thought maybe I'll give her another chance. Her canned lie is that her receptionist/admin saw the review and told her about it. FAT CHANCE- the review was up for about 15 minutes and she texted me literally right after I posted it. Ok, fast forward- it's been over a year and I can count on one hand the number of times I've been contacted about even potential prospects. So, I asked for a refund for the acting classes I never took. Goes to teachers, right??? Ok, so she pretended she was going to refund the money, but then quickly reneged. I don't mind paying for Tom Logan or the headshots, but I never took the classes. If your teachers are paid out of this money & you give any sh*ts about your clients, you'd refund money for classes I never took. So, she said it would come out of her account, etc. So, I said yep, I'll take the refund as you've had OVER a year to contact me with any gigs so that I could WORK and make the money back. Please note than one gig was booked for $75- enough for gas money and lunch what a joke. Ok, so, I think she's going to make this right and refund the money for acting classes, BUT SHE DOESN'T.. she starts sending me random bookings for other people and a bizarre one text about prom & all this random garbage. Yes, Lesa, I'm sure you book your top clients with gigs... Is it about 2%? But, a solid majority of her clients will NEVER and I mean NEVER get close to making that money back. What else? Oh, she said she wouldn't be in business for 30 plus years if it were a SCAM... beg to differ here. Jeffrey Epstein was in "business" for decades without getting caught. Since what you're doing - preying on the aspirations of young aspiring actors and models for a fee, you will fly under the radar. So, yes, I absolutely believe you'd still be in business even though most of your customers get metaphorically screwed. Did I mention I'm in sales? I've had to refund fees - even if the fault was not my own to keep the relationship in tact. As we all know, actions speak louder than words- the fact that she won't refund my money for acting classes never taken (oh, and this last go around, the lie turned into - oh the acting classes ARE required to get bookings and make money)... yeah, they weren't when we first met. You just wanted my money. What did you spend it on Lesa? A new purse or a vacation? So, for the majority of us who never even get close to making this money back because she'll contact you less than a handful of times over 1.5 YEARS with low paying gigs, this woman needs to be hit with a class action lawsuit by ALLLLLL the people who never came close to making this money back despite her promises of grandeur and money in your first meeting with Lesa. This review is 100% true and it will be posted everywhere I can find a place to post. For those who were also scammed out of money, it's time we all band together because she does NOT care about you as a customer. She just wants your MONEY. DON'T DO IT!!!!! I'm certain many of you had similar experiences. Power in numbers. Feel free to contact me. People who prey on others are the lowest of the low. Poachers. Thanks for the lies, Lesa!
