We've had a wonderful experience with Prestige Talent. Bridgett, Mark, Coach Cat and the whole crew were just amazing to work with. They really take their time to answer every question and is there with us every step of the way. We enjoyed working with them so much. Our daughter learned so much in those couple of weeks working with the coaches. This is an amazing company!
Scam company. You don't need to drink snake oil to know a snake oil salesman. Study privately, get on platforms such as LA Casting, actors access or backstage. You don't need these blood sucker type "companies". —— No, we all know exactly what your company does. If you would like additional proof., I am more than happy to file claims in your local court. I have full discovery of how you people work. Do us all a favor. Stop putting yourself out as a legitimate company. As an entertainment professional for 40 years I have seen companies like you break young peoples dreams. I also am in possession of two horrific contracts requesting over $3000. 00 that you offered to young people of which you could never deliver what you promised. As a person that is extremely financially sound, I have no problem escalating the situation to expose you for who you are. Don't tempt me. How do you spell fraud? With a capital F.
Prestige Talent LA has been hosting auditions for children across Europe, announcing that they are casting for Netflix, Disney and so on.
When you get to the audition, you realize they are not agents and that Netflix, Disney and alike, are merely referred because a handful of kids that appeared in these shows had been, allegedly, their clients.
Also, they show a flashy video advertising iPop, an event in LA where the kids would meet 100+ agents and guaranteed to get a contract. It is mentioned that they would be choosing the top 15 to move forward.
End of the day, late night, I receive a message stating that my kid was selected - I got the feeling all kids were. I also received a message with a brochure on the options in terms of programs. SO my selected kid would need to pay USD6000 to attend iPop - so why only 15 if I would be paying for the iPOP, international travel, accommodation for a week, etc. There were two other alternatives for a shorter program with one of Prestige guys and an online option. All expensive.
I reached out to Bridgett - the lady leading the audition - and mentioned that according to the online reviews that I should have read beforehand - this was a scam - and, even if not, it was not professional to get these kids hopes high then to break the news that the parents have to pay a lot for them to move on and have the parents in a difficult position and the kids disappointed. SO I was not moving forward and not even meeting them.
Bridgett insisted to have a call and asked me for her report card so she could get her partner, Mark, to approve a scholarship. Strange already. Later she called me and said that the scholarship was approved and as soon as they would get to US (they were about to take a flight) she would send the paperwork.
Never heard back from them.
Sent a reminder weeks later. Read and no reply.
In the end, informed that their silence just confirms the overall opinion and reviews on the www.
Sad people!

There are companies like this throughout the country. They sell you a dream. This company is not qualified nor connected with any legitimate outlet. There’s simply there to make money from people with a dream.

There is always an agency like this who is to take advantage of people in their dreams. These people are amongst them… Do not give them any money… Do not even think that they can help you in anyway.
It is the usual BS that they think that your child or your young person is above average and must be seen in Hollywood.
As a professional actor, producer and mentor I tell you to run not walk away from people like prestige talent.
Call your local screen actors Guild office and ask them if you should ever pay an agent.
Talent Agents and talent managers get paid a percentage of what the artist earns.
This company is a predatory scam for people who don't know and or are new to the industry.
Breaks my heart that thieves like this are still in existence.
I will do my best to shut them down.
Tip for consumers:
Do not even talk to prestige talent.
They are scammers

Lonie R. Has never been a client nor ever received any of our services and has posted a false review.
Prestige Talent is the liaison between the client and the agent. Read our website as to what we do and services we offer. Why would we be an agency that introduces you to other agencies?
Prestige Talent offers training/development and showcases for their clients.
There is a growing epidemic in the entertainment industry that people who are just starting do not think they need to invest in themselves and in the entertainment industry… NOT TRUE.
If you want to be an actor, model, dancer, singer, etc you must train and attain the required, and necessary materials. Those things cost money! No one is going to pay for your classes, training, private coaching, showcases, workshops, seminars, photos, etc, except YOU!
Agents and managers make a percentage from that client. How long do you think an agent or manager will work without the client bringing in some revenue? NOT VERY LONG! Heres why: There are simple steps for you, the talent (actor, model, singer, dancer) to take in order to bring in revenue. You all remember the phrase "It takes money, to make money"? You have to have something to give to bettering yourself as talent, to insure you book, and have staying power within the industry. Otherwise you look as though you are expecting others to do it for you, and that wont happen. Let me be clear this doesn't negate the headline "Do you work for free? NO", they do have several clients and are making money from each of them at different times through out the year, they diversify their client lists with talent at all stages of their career to insure they aren't working for free.
The entertainment industry is just like any other industry, or sport; by which I mean, one must invest in the continuing training it takes to remain competitive. There is far too much talent vying for a spot on a Commercial, TV, Film, Stage, etc that you must do all you can to separate yourself from the pack. If you do not have the money to train, renew headshots, and private coach when needed, you may not see any results. Now having said that, there are sometimes ways around it if you don't have the money, you can ask if you may work for it. Intern or help out at the acting/ dance/ singing studio in exchange for classes. Mind you this may not always work as the studio may be well staffed, and just as the headline states, the studio can NOT WORK FOR FREE. They have to pay the bills.
Now when talent is starting out do they have to take some projects to gain credits that may be little to now pay, yes! You aren't working for free, you are working for copy, credit, meals, mileage/ gas reimbursement, etc. THERE IS SOMETHING GIVEN IN EXCHANGE FOR YOUR TALENT SERVICES, i. E. NOT FREE!
In this industry it baffles me why people think they don't have to invest time and money just like anything else in life. If you want to be a doctor, do you not have to invest time and money in studying, before you can make it back? It is exactly the same in the entertainment industry. Actors are paid well because they work damn hard to get there, and work damn hard to stay there…
Moral of the story, DO NOT GO INTO THE ENTERTAINMENT INDUSTRY thinking someone else should take care of these costs, tasks, investments, commitments etc for you, IT WON'T HAPPEN…

My daughter walked in two Runway events. Prestige took the time to work with her so she was confident when she went onstage. We want to thank Prestige for making my daughters dream come true. Even though she is signed there doors are always open for her to come back and train.
Thank you

Bridgett, Mark and Coach Cat did an amazing job bringing my daughter out of her shell! She has always loved performing and now, because of them, she has been signed by a talent agent! A big thank you to these three amazing people for the opportunity. This is just the beginning! Prestige Talent Management showed that they really care about kids' futures as performers and models. Keep up the good work guys.

We feel fortunate to have found Mark and Bridgett and the team of Prestige Talent Agency. At the start of the process, we were skeptical about their program, but we decided to go ahead with it. They offered 6 (2 hour + 1.5 hour) sessions of acting and modeling classes. The coaches were extremely knowledgeable. My 6 year old son trained with Coach Terry, Coach Cat and Coach Donna. Coach Cat customized commercial and monologue based on my son's favorite things. He was always happy practicing and performing and he felt more than ready for Talent Showcase. Mark and Bridgett were very gracious at their beautiful Vegas venue. They made all the kids very comfortable. My son performed with full confidence and got call back from agents. I am happy that we have started off with a solid foundation with Prestige Talent Agency!

We were so blessed by our experience at Prestige Talent! Coach Cat is amazing and created custom audition pieces for both of my boys based on their interests and personalities. Bridgett and Mark generously invested in our family using their industry experience and knowledge. They loved our family well through feedback, answering questions, and setting us up for a successful Showcase. The confidence and courage my boys have after this experience is a gift! Thank you for making this experience possible.

I am so unbelievably impressed with this company. They have exceeded all of my expectations. Bridget, Marc and Annette go way above and beyond for their kids. They are all so warm and you can tell that they really care. They are a liaison between the children and the agents and do all they can (and more) to help each child succeed. I am a cynic; so winning my trust is a huge thing. They are a extremely professional; yet know how to be so supportive to my extremely shy child. She has opened up to all of them in a way that she usually never does with adults. I am beyond grateful to Prestige Talent for all that they have done for us.

I am so pleased to have come in contact with Bridgett. She has helped with process of my children getting started with their career in acting in more ways than one. She is very informative, kind and encouraging. My children have never received training, however Bridgett was able to prompt them in a way that made it a pleasurable experience for them both.

Greater opportunities await him because he loves everything acting and modelling!

Bridgett, Mark, and Coach Cat did an excellent job preparing our son and daughter for their showcase. Their training, guidance, and expertise got both of our kids signed to an agency. We are new to the industry and the Prestige Talent team answered all our questions and assisted us through the process. I highly recommend them to anyone who wants to get their foot into the entertainment industry!

Bridgett is amazing! She is so friendly and helpful. My husband and I were skeptical at first. However, she has bent over backwards to try and help us with any issue that we run into. She shows that she cares and that is so comforting. We are still in the beginning stages, nevertheless she has been such a help. She answers all of our questions and offers to help when we need it. We are very impressed so far. We are excited to see where this opportunity takes us.

Prestige Talent had been searching for kid talents around the globe and happened to scout in Bay Area(walnut Creek). Our daughter had the opportunity to go for audition and experience the setting as she wants to pursue in theatre/acting. But our journey started right after Bridgetts/Marks professional structured meeting. They have taken kids skills seriously and have motivated them all times with full heart so that they are able to get in field with readiness and enthusiasm.
We were guided at each step to prepare our daughter for showcase and understanding the core standards of industry.
Bridgett and Mark have established relations and after working with them our daughter has several agents interested in signing her.
It would have been impossible to reach at this platform without Prestige. We highly recommend them.
Thank you Prestige Talent!.

The process have been amazing from start to finish. Mark and Bridgett cares a lot about the industry and it shows through their coaching. They were able to answer every question for us, the day of the showcase was amazing, especially during these times. The studio was safe, everyone wore a mask, sanitizer throughout. We truly felt comfortable. Our daughter has received two call backs from the agencies that were there at showcase. I was hesitant at first but I'm glad I followed through.

We have had a great experience with this company doing zoom classes with awesome instructors and talented kids! The directors of Prestige are very organized and responsive. The IPOP we attended with Prestige was a premier and life-changing experience to get to perform in front of so many people! My son is in the process of getting signed by an agency-so the time, effort, and money is worth it! We needed to learn things before auditioning for agencies that Prestige teaches the children I wouldn't have known to teach him. Thank you so much!

I am so happy with the results that I got from working with this company. They did everything they said they would do. Getting my daughter an agent for her acting and modeling start gave her the opportunity to develop her personality. The experience that she got from this company was super awesome. The company is very professional and it feels to us like a family.

Working with Prestige Talent and Bridgett has been an amazing and exciting experience.
Starting from the introductions, she was informative professional and educational.
She led my daughter through a great audition and we truly can see that the sky's the limit.
If you believe your child has real talent, meet with Prestige talent.

I signed my son up with Prestige Talents amd couldnt be happier. Bridgett and Mark were very helpful and always took the time to reply to all messages and answered any question's I had. Coach Cat was amazing and worked so well with all the kids my son looked forward to his class with Coach Cat every week. My son gained self esteem and confidence during this program and when the show case came around Bridgett and Mark worked with the kids so well they all did an amazing job on stage and had so much fun doing it. My son left his show case on cloud 9 and couldnt stop telling me
And the family how much fun he had and was so proud of himself and could wait to preform infront of all his friends and teachers and our whole family. I would highly recommend to any parent looking to start the child/children in the entertainment industry they give all tools your child will need and they treat you and you child/children as if you were there own family.

So to be honest, we were a bit skeptical in the beginning to work with this company due to previous reviews, but decided to give them a go anyways because everyone always has a different experience! I just wanted to say that I have no regrets and I want to say thank you SOOO much to Prestige Talent and especially Bridgette for helping out my daughter in training her and preparing her for the auditions for potential agencies! We just auditioned two days ago for an agency in LA and just got a call back that they want to work with my daughter and sign a contract! How exciting! Bridgette and her staff are definitely our answered prayers! Thank you for believing in my daughter and pulling through with your promises! Highly recommended company to work with!

Prestige Talent discovering talent for the entertainment industry
Thall,
You seem to have us confused with another company.
Your multiple spelling errors make your review even more unreal.
Reviews should be from actual clients only.
You have never been a client of our nor have you ever received our services.
Thall, you have never been in the entertainment industry. Why would we bring in Hollywood Agents if we were an agency? It is clear you have no clue as to what you are talking about.
We are a performing arts center. We discover unsigned talent, develop talent if needed, have agency showcases so talent can get signed and start working. Very simple and straight forward.
Feel free to escalate the situation as far as you can. We are calling your bluff. The only Fraud here is you Thall.
Your review is completely out of place and our countless 5 star reviews from actual customers rebuke your misinformed comments.
We work with kids, not grumpy nincompoops that feel the urge to spill their toxicity online.
