ExploreTalent

It's quite sad to read several of these reviews. I'm not sure if they're paid to write poor ratings from other sites? Did they follow direction? Return calls? Show up on time? Make an effort? I may not be the next Hollywood mega star, but I did put in some effort and was at least able to be seen and attained several leads. Satisfied customer.

They called and texted me telling me that i was personally asked to work with Keanu Reeves in the new Matrix 4 movie. I don't even remember signing up for the website. As I was on the phone with my "talent advisor" I searched the name and saw all the bad reviews. The first thing that pops up on google when you search the name is "Explore Talent Scam". I told them I didn't want to pay for a membership and that's when she said the only way to be considered for the position is to upgrade and that's when I knew it was fake. Good try though. If I were anyone else I might have fallen for it but I'm smarter than that. Don't fall for any tricks and stay safe out there! :)

Why is it so hard for beginners in the acting world, or entertainment business to get an agent?
I get it we "lack" the experience agents look for but does that mean we lack in raw talent or dedication. NO. From the time I was a baby to the 24 year old man I am now I've been told I have a spark a light about me that meant for something, we'll I found one of my dreams and I'm pursuing it but these sites that want money constantly for me to be successful shut me down cause guess what I HAVE NO MONEY. I'm well aware that these sites are filled with PARAsites (< Ha Thee Irony) that want to suck us dry but I want to act and if that means bombarding audition until they see I'm the guy for the role so be it. Notice the flare of dramatic I in my writing, and IM NOT BORN FOR THIS, I THINK NOT.

So far I've been impressed with their service, I used to think that only the rich can be models. I'll never make it in the industry. When I first started to get text messages I was like hmm... Then I got a call from an agent who said he'd like me to put some pictures on my profile. So I said I guess that would make since. So I put some pics I had taken a wile back and a couple of new pictures I had just taken. Then I got another call from a different agent offering to lower the price of my service if I upgraded my profile. I don't have $100 to throw around. This guy offered to drop it to $60 to join. We will see, if they need talent they should be out looking for it for free.

You submit your information, they call you saying you're matched for Forever 21, Uber commercials, and whoever the hell else. Doesn't mean anything this is Explore Talent telling you they think you'd match...

When on the phone with a representative i told her i wanted to do a month by month service because i couldn't pay for a year or 6 months in advance. The b***h tells me "Well i don't have time for anybody who's not serious about this business" so of course i had choice words after that.

Last but not least... they will start sending you messages stating that "Casting Directors are trying to contact you" just to get you to sign back up if you've canceled your "premium". I paid for a month, i signed in, the casting director never hit me back. This was same day..

So, i got a call, email and text like everyone else about me getting a speaking role in Fast & Furious 8 and that the casting director tried to contact me but couldn't since my account was no longer active. I asked then how did they see my profile if my account is inactive? Anyway, an obvious scam. What confirmed it is when they called me a few days later for my son, saying the exact same thing! Just so you all know if you have paid them, don't worry, call your credit card company and tell them it was a fraudulent charge. They will credit you that amount and change your card no questions asked.
