Is ExploreTalent.com a SCAM...it is FREE......isn't it!!? (PLEASE Reply/Thanks! ;)?

Question

I was emailed a website, ExploreTalent.com and it says it's free unless you wish to upgrade to get more stuff...
But I read on here that it's a scam! (they said they paid money, and didn't get any acting jobs, etc) So what I am wandering is, does it have accurate information about where open call auditions are being held, etc. (because I have a free account and am receiving that information)

______________________________________…

Also I have lots of acting experience under my belt (non-paying theatres-leads-5 years), and am now persuing a career in it (so I can get paid ;), so if any of you know of any good legitimate website(s) that offer(s) info. on where auditions are being held, please let me know!

Thanks! ;)

This one is a scam, don't bother with them. For some good indepth info on online casting go here:

the pages on this site tend to take a bit to load, at least they do on my comp so know that going in and be patient. It's worth the wait.

good luck,

Answer 2

try and get into a more experienced talent agency that you know has been around a long time

Answer 3

They're pretty rude and full of themselves there for people who should be ashamed of the way they make their money. They pay cheap, horrible scale. Yeah - they're a scam. I didn't pay for them - they still sent me with the free account. So, I would say most of the time the locations are legit. Just stay away from those leaches...

Answer 4

The problem is, a lot of the auditions (95%) of the casting notice that you see on Explore Talent are available FREE else where.

Actors Access (http://www.actorsaccess.com) is a legit service for you to submit for the casting call. It's free to register and create an online resume - but you will get charged $2.00 for each casting notice that you submit. (Compare to the monthly service charnge you get charged for Explore Talent, $2.00 is nothing)

Answer 5

Yeah.. it's pretty much a scam, because sooner or later they're going to tell you that you have to upgrade in order to keep finding the auditions....
a lot on actors with out agents use www.actrsaccess.com like the kid above me mentioned before.

And another thing about ExploreTalent is that you really don't know if they send your info to the right place.... the Internet is a scary place and any lunatic can find a way into the system and get your information! Plus a lot of their agency info is outdated (i checked)..... half of the agencies i looked for weren't in existence any more!!!!!

You're better off with Actors Access or an agent!

Good Luck!
