Wow! So many castings within 3 days! I'm so thankful and happy I have only been with Explore Talent about 3 days and I have already got so many casting directors contacting me. Thank you so much Explore Talent!

SCAM ALERT!
October 7, 2016

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!

To good to be true
February 12, 2016

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 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.

Called today 12/11/2015
December 11, 2015

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!

TOTAL SCAM
July 10, 2021

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
