SCAM. I ve been freelancing in the city of Pittsburgh for about a year before I decided I wanted to audition for an agency. Mind you, I have gotten paid gigs and have been published in a bridal magazine.
I submitted pictures online and got an email back from the owner who couldn t give me any information about the company until days later when I was referred to someone else.
I drove 4 AND 1/2 HOURS. After about 10 minutes of reading a commercial and taking a few pictures I was brought into an office by a woman and told how marketable I was and how much I could grow within their company. Sounded great. I was told a few success stories and then told I was needed to talk business. I was told I needed to pay $2,000 in order to receive coaching over an 18-week program. I already have a modeling portfolio and comp cards and this cost wouldn t even cover things of that matter. I have been published and had 0 interest in having modeling classes This would cost me a $700 deposit plus the cost of driving 4 hours every single weekend. I was also told I would need to dye my hair and was recommended their colorist because the woman told me that you don t see blondes in magazines . I was told I would need to pay this $2,000 before I could even be represented and this had to be within a week of meeting with the woman. Point blank this business is a SCAM that only wants to waste your money and time and the agents only want your commission. No legitimate agency would require you to pay an exuberant amount of money for classes that you don t need. Also half the people that are models with the company are also people that work at the corporate office. STAY AWAY.
