ExploreTalent

This site emailed me crap about castings that were a million miles away and I never got anything because I could never make auditions. Then when I wanted to cancel the day I got the recurring charge, they wouldn't give me my money back for the service I DID NOT INCUR. This website is a scam and complete bs. With that being said, I encourage everyone who has had a bad experience with them, to respond with your own terrible story of this so I can gather a portfolio, thank you.

STOP! DON'T GIVE THESE PEOPLE YUOR MONEY! SCAM!
A SCAM!

The company is fraudulent! A total and complete SCAM! Please notify authorities if they contact you. I run a high school drama club, and this company CHARGED a family $180 for "setting up an audition" for their 8 year old child for a role in a high school drama club production across the state, over 200 miles! To a show that is not at all open to any student outside of our own school - which we don't charge ANYONE to audition - incredible. The authorities have been contacted and I hope no one else falls for this scam. It's a phishing scheme, plain and simple. Our auditions are not open to the public nor were they advertised anywhere as such. SCAM! My heart goes out to the victims of this company. Please, people. NEVER pay money to anyone to get your child onstage.

I am very grateful to the service that ET offers and refer this service to several of my counterparts in acting class. On another note, I want to extend my greatest thanks to you and the great customer service you provide to me each and every time I call. You only not make sure that any information given to me is accurate, but you also make sure that I receive the full benefits of using ET for my acting career and I want to say again, thanks. I did a lot of research in your site, applied several roles, as a try out! Read your blogs, or articles... to enhance my skills! And your articles really helps! Some people out there, didn't appreciate probably because they just sit around and wait for something to happen! But :D guys you should do more research & practice to actually acquire fantastic RESULTS! You know what I mean? =3=
I've applied to several roles in theater & other marketing stuff, and they were happy about me! Maybe someday I'll land unto bigger opportunities! CAN'T WAIT FOR E. T. for MORE! :D

My bad, that i registered with this company online but stopped short of giving money for their membership as i was uncomfortable.
Got a call after 1 week and somehow Charles from Explore Talent convinced me to try out 6 month membership for $188, saying that i can cancel anytime. If satisfied, i will be charged 6 monthly for the same amount. Was told i will get some audition for sure within first week.
Immediately after the phone call, i just reviewed the company online for my satisfaction. With so many bad reviews and 1 * rating, i right away called back and asked to cancel my membership asap.
I was told that all the ratings are just few of the dis-satisfied customers. When i insisted 1* rating is impossible with few dissatisfied customers, i was finally transferred to customer service for account cancelling.
I was told my account has been cancelled and i will receive email shortly. I never got that email. Next day when i again called, Charles again convinced me to hang on for 1 week and then cancel for full refund if dis-satisfied.
Since then i called 8-10 times in 3-4 days time, but was always on hold forever. Finally i filed fraudulent charges with my Credit Card company and disputed the charge.
I would give them '-5' star rating if possible.

I really needed to laugh as hard as I did, when ET texted and called me 3 times tonight, to tell me that a casting director wanted me to come and audition for them in a nearby town. This nearby town gives new meaning to the words "small town". It has two traffic lights and 1 grocery store... And oh, a feed/ farm store! I was like, are you SERIOUS!? That is hilarious! No casting director would actually come here for anyone! Especially since the San Diego film commission went out of business years ago!
DO NOT GIVE THESE D-BAGS YOUR MONEY! I've fallen for their cheap "renewal" charges a few times, and last year told them I'm not giving you a dime until you CAN PROVE you're not a scam-- naturally, no results... But it sure makes a girl feel good when I hear that all these agents are dying to have me audition for them! Woow! LMAO for real.

I signed up originally and paid for a whole year and... nothing...! I applied for all of the outdated auditions and still nothing! Then all of a sudden they call me after a year and say they finally have a part for me but my profile had expired and I needed to pay $500 today. I laughed and said you guys are f***ing kidding me right? They mumbled something and hung up... DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY OR TIME ON THIS RIDICULOUS COMPANY. GO SPEND THAT MONEY ON LOTTERY TICKETS YOU'LL HAVE A BETTER CHANCE OF WINNING THAN BECOMING FAMOUS THROUGH THESE PEOPLE!

Its funny because I have been a pro member and got no rule all month long but as soon as my account was gonna expire and automatic payments didn't go through because there was no money in the account, I was called that a casting director needs me in a role "Jack Reacher 2" and got a second call saying that " Oh your subscription expired and the casting director rejected you for the role, but if i pay $288 for one year I can still get the role back.

I am not a total dummy and I know when something don't seem right. BEWARE OF THIS COMPANY AND HELP A HOMELESS PERSON WITH YOUR MONEY AND I BELIEVE YOU WILL HAVE MORE PEACE OF MIND KNOWING YOU HELPED A HOMELESS PERSON RATHER THAN PAYING FOR EXPLORE TALENT BECAUSE ITS A COMPLETE WASTE.

Explore Talent conducts deceitful practices In their Contest. They claim to pay the winner in the BEST BODY CONTEST A $100 CASH Prize, but then in the MIDDLE of the contest, they CHANGE the PRIZE to a 1 year membership instead. What's up with that ET? You can't be low on funds are you? With ALL those people who pay you hundreds of dollars each, hard to believe you can't fulfill your advertising offer. And why do you make us BEG for our winning rewards? Are you only interested in lining YOUR POCKETS with OUR MONEY and not giving US NOTHING in RETURN? BUYER BEWARE...

I got 2 jobs within 10 day after I signed-up! YOU GUYS ARE AMAZING! The very next day after I signed up I was offered a job with the ISO/JOICO hair show. Since then I've already been matched with another job (this one for several weekends), and have made it to the final selection for two Advertising spots in the San Antonio area. The service provided by the individuals I've dealt with at Explore Talent has been top-notch. David & Dustin in the Booking Dept. and Brittain in Cust. Service have gone above and beyond in answering my questions and providing information. In fact, it feels as though I am talking with people that personally know us, rather than being treateded like "a number". THANKS - YOU GUYS ARE AMAZING!

Got a role in a full length feature film! Just wanted to give a big "Thank You" to Explore Talent. My daughter Julia Hodgkins auditioned for a role in a full length feature film called Second Wind and got a co-supporting role in the film! We're presently in rehersals and will be filming in a couple of weeks. The experience has been amazing and so rewarding. Working with director, Daryl C. Sylva is awesome. If it weren't for Explore Talent, we wouldn't be here right now! We're very greatful for your service.
