I got taken for $120.00 from these people! I signed up for free account. The next day I received a call saying that they had two casting directors waiting to hear from me on two major movies paying $800. A day each both lasting for two weeks. I had to upgrade to PRO account ASAP so they could submit me to the casting agents because this was an Urgent Casting Call and the agents were waiting to hear back from me to arrange travel and hotel to the casting call. I paid the money and have never heard back from anyone! I check the people that have visited my profile and they are all other actors, not one visit from a casting agent! This is total Crap and a total SCAM! Read what everyone else is saying about them online by google search and listen! Don't be taken in by these people by ignoring what everyone else is saying. They talk a great game, tell you that casting directors are asking for you and then once you pay you get NOTHING! SCAM ALERT!
Because it's not true. I received a call for a non speaking part and that the casting director wanted me. Then she wants to send my booking number to the director and says I'm not registered. Hah. She quotes me the 1,2 and 3 year rates. I laugh. She then says she received this morning a special rate for 6 months at $188.75. Not gonna do it not gonna do it.
I question the integrity of this site. Its strange how they call you to submit to this big upcoming event just as your free trial ends and you don't renew. I question the number of their listings that are legitimate rather than just being there to make you think that they have access to alot of work.
I have my picture on Google Search I've been asking to remove it but all they do is snow blowing me no body has any sympathy when it comes to your personal needs and pivacy it is nothing but a scam be careful.
I know Ami Shafrir and Ben (who run ET). They have people writing reviews that are positive. I suggest to anyone wanting to determine if ET is on the level, ask to meet one of the people who have positive things to say about the company. I submit you will not be able to, you will be given many excuses. Notice also that all these glowing reviews have no pictures of actual people. Ami is busy in the Philippines also engaging in the business of defrauding people who are in real need of legit services.
I made an account last week and wasn't able to make many changes over my phone so I had planned on going on the computer. I didn't know anything about this company but just googled modeling and acting in Denver and they came up. So I never had time to update the things I wanted and today I received a call telling me that multiple agents have been going through my pictures (which I only have one uploaded) and there was a big casting coming to Denver to be an extra in a Tom Hank's movie. As I can see, this is the same rouge they have tried on many of these other reviewers. Deanna from Explore Talent tried to get me to spend 200 for a year membership. I thankfully got off the phone so I could do some research to decide whether something like this would be worth it. I will not be going further with this website and I hope most of you deciding whether or not, please consider spending your 200 on something else worth while!
Legitimate modeling agencies will NEVER EVER ask you for one dime! Their job is to find you work and then take a percentage. Modeling agents usually take10-20% and Acting agents take 10% of the gross earnings for a project. Btw, Modeling and Acting agents DO NOT give acting/modeling classes, or take photos for your portfolio! Please do NOT fall prey to this deceptive business practice! YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED.
Explore Talent is a Company where the talent really feels like a person rather than a number, from prompt bookings to professional career guidance. I had the chance to be in more than one commercial and make some really great connections in the acting and film community here In New York. I highly recommend Explore Talent to anyone looking to take their modeling/acting career to the next level. Damon Snow - Actor, Model
They said I fit the role for a big time staring Denzel Washington and when I signed up them my money, guess what... No more emails or anything. I was told the casting director would contact me in a few weeks regarding the audition times and details. Guess what... Nothing then when I try to go on my page somehow there site is down. Can't help buy feel like I got scammed. Smh. Don't lisyin to there BS they pretend well. And they got me.
What a joke. I fell for it befor I read the reviews! They got me damn it... $188 down the drain. I wish I can get it back. I'm so depressed bc im writing a book and I thought this was my break. I'm an idiot.
I got the roles... Thank you ExploreTalent... I just joined ExploreTalent and already has more opportunities than I ever imagined. An elite modeling management agency in New York contacted me after seeing my profile on ExploreTalent. A casting director personally asked me to audition personally for both a TV SHOW and a Music Video. A producer/director from Tampa requested a dancing video of me for a short he is producing. I am actually overwhelmed by the response I have gotten from working with ExploreTalent Casting Directors and Producers. Thank you again. You are the BEST!
I've been getting my baby 3 auditon in ny so far for myself and they went pretty good. I now want the good benefits with a good casting directors who really want to advance my child and support us while he shines his way throw with his greatness my baby is A+ and will do his thing I just need that one role to boom him out frfr so any advice on how and where. So this site is a joke hunn. No good
This is really great, I wasn't expecting this much for myself but I really am thankful to land a role for an indie film this coming 2018. ET gave me this opportunity to showcase my talent and to show what a great artist I can be. This site is really helpful to people like me who wants to show their talent in acting, I really thank you explore talent for this. Hope to have more auditions from you.
Explore talent gave me a lot of opportunities in the media industry that made me discover my own talent which is Acting. I was taking a risk at first sight when I saw a casting call for a TV prod but when I called Explore talent for advice it gave me the confidence to be what I am now. Thank you so much Explore Talent!
Explore Talent is a scam- I got a call saying a director wanted me in a movie with Tom Cruise. They said they'd pay me over 800$ each day on set, but I had to do one thing first. I had to pay 300-500$. If I didn't do this I couldn't be in this movie. They also asked me if I had any questions after they told me this and I said, "This is a scam." And right when I said this she hung up immediately.
Booked commercial for Dunkin Donuts I just would like to take the time out to thank Explore Talent for landing my first Job -- Dunkin Donuts. The feeling is so overwhelming, I just cant believe it. Once again thank you Francisco for your patience and superb customer service. You truly define the term "Customer Service". I was a Demo Model for Paul Mitchael! I just wanted to say thanks again to the entire crew at Explore Talent for my second job. I did the IBS Hair Show for Paul Mitchael. I was a Demo Model. They did my hair and it was a wonderful experience. I was also selected to be a model for the NY Cooperation (Beauty Group) Work shop. I loved the feeling after my make up was done. I looked even more beautiful. Once again thank you and all the best.
I would just like to thank you for sending me the audition for what was called The Right to Brag which ended up being A shot at love with Tila Tequila (MTV), Doron Casting, 495 Productions. I made it through 4 episodes and we are going to film the reunion here soon. I signed a year contract with them and they have me doing some more stuff. I've read Exploretalent.com in papers and on talk shows. Ever since I signed up, I've been receiving lots of auditions and callbacks. Thank You Explore Talent.
Explore Talent is all that it says it is! This is the best to discover what's your talent, modeling etc. I got several offers that I ended up picking the ones to respond back too. Keep it up Explore Talent..
I just received more than one notification on myfico black site watch saying info stolen from this site. I'm deleting my old page now.
I was told I was guaranteed a supporting in Fast and Furious 8. I was told I would receive the script in June. June came and went. No script. I then called them and Ethel ( one of the reps) told me I would receive the script now in July because they had an issue, but assured me over and over again that I had secured the role in the movie. That the directors were just wanting local talent and I fit the profile the role was mine! Today I received a call telling me that the role was never mine. That I was never guaranteed the job, and that I was never supposed to receive a script and they never deal with directors when handling scripts! I have recorded conversations with this lady stating I have the job! I would love to get a lawyer and sue this company to close them down. I am certain I could probably find many, many people who have been scammed by them! Do not work with them! And if you do work with them I suggest you do not waist your money on the web site and profile. Get an agent!
