My daughter Alalah Lytton-barker loved it. Mr.Chris was nice and made her feel at ease. Alalah loves to entertain people. She loves singing,dancing and acting. She's very beautiful and photogenic. She's a big sweetheart. Thank you for giving her an opportunity to fulfill something she's been wanting to do for awhile.

My daughter didn't complete her audition she never even read her lines bc she got scared but she still got a call back?? Doing more research it looks like a scam to me ? I mean why would they TEXT me and not CALL ?? That's not professional at all

My daughter practiced her line's for TWO days, just for them to cut her out of the zoom meeting while the host was speaking. It was sad to see the tears roll down my 10yo face! She knew there was a chance she might not get the part, but for them to get her hopes up completely! She had her line's down and she's VERY talented! Their loss!

The hosts were very informative and seemed very honest about the auditions and what to expect in the acting industry. I rated a 3 star for one reason. We waiting for over two hours and did not get my daughter's interview. Instead we had to send in a video which was alright but would have liked to been notified earlier as to what we could have done instead of wasting that two hours just standing there. It was frustrating but fully understandable. Thank you for your time.

Coming all the way from Dubai, we had absolutely no idea of what the IPOP event could turn out to be or what such an event encompasses. At times we wondered if all the efforts and expenses would be worth it. In fact, even a day before the event, we saw nothing conspicuous. But as the program enfolded, we could appreciate its scale and its purpose. The competitions and the seminars were very relevant. The panel that spoke in the seminars were affable people who put in efforts to help parents and contestants and understand the industry. Specifically coming from the real world of performing arts, the experience they shared and the guidance given has been invaluable. Casting Call team has done a fabulous job! They stayed connected with us all through the event; especially the morning meetings were very supportive and ensured that all got to know and understand the days proceedings. We were made aware of what role each member of the team played and who to reach out to to should we have needed assistance. Gina- As a director has done a fantastic job. Her work and her efforts have been so very visible even from the time we enrolled through till date. She has been calm, comprised, and even sensitive to little things that a parent or participant may need. Her directions and her support to her team and to others has been spot on. Ellie-Has been outstanding in her efforts to enscale and emphasize on all relevant aspects of the competitions. Niharika and I wondered how she was able to sustain her energies all through the day. She was omnipresent; has a strong personality and certainly is a person who could actually get the work done. Coaches- Each and every coach ensured that they connected with participants. Though my daughter worked with just two of them, I can tell that each one is talented. To say it all, its been a great experience and me and my daughter thank each and every one of you. We take back valuable leanings.

This is definitely a scam. We got the same story about how his son got a shot a commercial and made 140,000. We spoke to a guy named Ryan Herr. We received a text message last night saying that she was selected and how my daughter had a second audition and after that we need to sign a contract selecting one of the following packages: COMPETITIVE ACTING: • 5 Weeks (2 hours each week) online Agency Prep-Sessions • Agent Showcase CAREER ACTING: • 5 Weeks (2 hours each week) online Agency Prep-Sessions • Agent Showcase • 3 months on our professional Marketing Platform* • If within 3 months you do not book any work or are not signed with an agent or manager, you get an additional 3 months FREE COMPETITIVE AND CAREER PROGRAMS: Learning how to prepare for TV & Films, On-Camera Auditioning, Fundamentals of Acting, Movement, Development of Character, Script Work, Improvisation and One-Liners, Understanding Marketing Tools, Confidence Building, Audition with Agent or Manager USD 895.00 USD 1,895.00 ______________________________________________________________ iPOP!

Last night my daughter waited for almost two hours to audition for this company. I watched this guy Chris speak to children and their parents and seems sincere. Gushes over his 6 year old who "made $149,000 for a 4.5 hour commercial shoot for Target." Claims his daughter is "best friends" with the red headed female character from some show called Riverdale or something. Produced zero evidence to this. Claims he was at his house in Austin , TX. Keep reading, it gets good. So at about the 2 hour mark, my cell phone starts dying. I go get the cord and plug it in, but while trying to stand it back up, I accidentally hit the exit button on the Zoom meeting. My daughter and I were devastated. My daughter is a sweet girl and has a great voice, so she was very excited. I felt so bad. This morning, I wake up and find an email and text message on my phone congratulating my daughter for making it to the FINAL AUDITION! Whoo hooo, wait, how would she make the cut if they never heard her in the first place? Here's how...EVERYONE MAKES IT! BECAUSE THEY WANT YOUR MONEY!!!!! PACKAGE 1 - 5 WEEKS, 2 HRS PER WEEK - $895 PACKAGE 2 - 5 WEEKS, 2 HRS PER WEEKS AND SOME AGENT EXPOSURE - $ 1895 iPOP PACKAGES - $5995 - $9995!!!!! Special invitation only for these packages. I wonder how many kids from last night were "special"?!? While they may be able to get your kid some exposure, there are more legit ways to get your kids exposure to entertainment agents and not go broke. Be weary! Do your research, so your kids aren't hurt. PS - When I called Chris out on his bs this morning, he became irate and threatened me and my child. Pretty tough for being 1,000's of miles away. Chris, text me, I'll give you my address, then let's see you talk that way to me in person.

I have done plenty of research and found companies that are fake will use the same dialogue, and ask for very simple information , then after a while or you first 1-3 auditions will try to charge money . That's when you know they are a scam. By what I've learned this is not a legit site , there's no proof besides typed up info just like other scam sites , who make money by offering a course after a few "auditons" or sell your info to other companies.
