You will get an accurate pix of who these people are by just reading what others wrote. Sad that they rope in these young kids and get them so excited for nothing! They were rude in their presentation and made the kids stand for the whole meeting, 2 hours! Im sure EVERYONE got a call back for a second audition..... thats where they want you to immediately sign a contract and pay between 900 and 10,000 for acting classes.

Parents beware!!!!! They had a video casting call today. I was picking up all the inconsistencies. 1. Parents or guardian only had to be with their kids during the call. (They need the financial supporters present) 2) The audition was 10am (CST) but if they like you, they will call between 5pm-12am (PST). Why did the time zones change? 2. When the lady said “do these kinds of things cost? Yes they do. You can’t go to school to be a lawyer and not pay” but she never threw out a price. 3. If they think your good , You get an email later and have to read page 5 and be ready to answer questions when they call you at 3am EST . After you see page 5, you will already know what the questions will be and they only give you 15 minutes to make a decision. Why the rush for parents to pick a package that range from $895.00 to $9,999 and why call when they know your half out of it sleep 3 in the morning. My son does not have an agent but, my son, myself and my two daughters were booked to do a family Verizon commercial October 2020, that ran for 6 weeks and my son just recently completed tapping a film in Pennsylvania, April 16 thru April 21, this year and they paid him for both and my two daughter and me were paid from the Verizon commercial. All without prior training, experience, classes or an agent and didn’t have to pay money up front. I thought the female was very rude the way she spoke to the kids and the parents. She won’t make money taking rudely that’s for sure. Half the parent probably dropped out because of her rudeness anyway. Luckily, I can pick up on these things. I won’t be picking up my phone if the call.

THESE PEOPLE ARE SCAMMERS. A FAMILY MEMBER OF MINES AUDITIONED. THEIR CALLBACK ONLY HAD LIKE 2 PEOPLE EVEN THOUGH THERE WERE SO MANY CHILDREN WERE IN IT. THEY ASKED FOR A HUGE AMOUNT OF MONEY UPFRONT WHICH IS VERY STRANGE. THEIR WEBSITE IS POORLY DESIGNED AND THEY ARE LIARS.

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!

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.
