Don't listen to the 4-5 star reviews. Explore talent is a scam and you should never pay anyone for a chance of getting casted. Never pay anyone, YOU are the one who should be getting paid.

Before I was nothing and thanks to Explore Talent I am now one of the cast of a spectacular film. Explore Talent gave me more chance to prove how worthy I am in this film.

I can put this very simple, compare this site to a legit site like backstage.com. Backstage advertises just like explore talent with using phrases like "get your career in acting started today!" but the one VERY BIG DIFFERENCE is explore talent will say free sign up! That is how they get your phone number, after they get that they give you calls and emails. Then they will text you a bull$#*! made up role throwing one or two known actors names at you to get you excited, this is when they come in for the attack and give you the "All you gotta do is sign up" bull$#*!. Now lets just think, this company has hundreds of "clients." so if they were a real company THEY WOULD BE TO BUSY TO CALL/ANNOY YOU ABOUT SIGNING Up. Now look at backstage, right from the start they tell you make an account get audition info. So they let the service sell itself. Once you pay backstage you can instantly find auditions near you and contact the director/casting director with pictures and a message and if they are interested they will contact you and you set an appointment up from there. I just wanna say for all of those who have read this thank you for taking your time. I believe its sad that companies are made like this, I have a deep passion for this craft and i hope to be a successful actor one day and sites like these can take a lot away from you mentally as a actor. I was tough one thing ill always remember in this business, signing up for a site like this or any site wont get you anywhere as a actor, but dedication and persistent approach to learning the craft will get you somewhere.

THEY LIE THEY PROMISE YOU AUDITIONS AS IF ITS GONNA HAPPEN BUT YOU HAVE TO PAY $300 $#*!ING DOLLARS FIRST AND IF YOU TELL THEM U CANT AFFORD THEY LIE TO YOU AND MAKE IT SEEM LIKE THEIR FUCIING MANAGER TOLD THEN TO MINIMIZE THE AMOUNT OF MONEY BECAUSE THEY REALLY $#*!ING WANT YOU ANDTHAT THEY WANT TO MAKE YOU FAMOUS AND $#*!. AND ONCE YOU PAY THEM THEY NEVER EVER EVER CALL YOU AGAIN. ITS DISGUSTING AND I THINK SOMEONE SHOULD START A PETITION TO GET RID OF THIS DIRTY PIECE OF TRASH COMPANY WHO ARE JUST MONEY WHORES TRYING TO TAKE YOUR MONEY AND THATS ITTT! THEY DONT CARE ABOUT YOU.

I received a phone call so I returned the message that I too was chosen by the cast or coordinators of Jamie Foxx's new movie baby driver they hand picked me from my profile which is probably over 8 years old and I didn't even recall it so I asked what agency they were from and they told me and I asked if she could email me my profile due to the fact it was so old that I would like to update it because I know I cancelled my email then 8 years ago and I get switched from channel to channel to be told that she couldn't submit my application because my membership fees were due now this is after I asked her when the movie supposed to start and she said she had no idea and then now she tells me there's a deadline by tonight to submit all applications her whole story from the 1st to the 2nd was night and day... bull$#*!! So I go online and do a Google search real fast about exploretalent.com and see all of these listings saying it's a scam and I tell her that and thank her for her time and say goodbye... Click

I got 4 jobs within 3 days! HI Explore Talent, my name is Erica Hamilton. I just want to say thank you for the many jobs I have recieved. I have been on the website for a short period of time and I am really pleased. I recently got a call from Juan Meet in Miami a new line of maternity clothing for a catalog. I was also contacted by cardwell talent for promotional modeling for the Nivea Event and future events. It does not stop there I was contacted by Talent Inc for Venus modeling promotion as well. Just when I thought that would stop I got a contract for International Shopping Headquarters for catalog work. Wow and it still does not stop I was also contacted by Cardwell promotions for the Discover promotional Modeling Event and future promotions. I have got these jobs over a period of three days. I look forward in the near future to audition for film and other jobs. I just want to say you have to stay motivated and postive and never give up on your dreams. I wont stop I plan to stay active and take more jobs. "Thank You Explore Talent" You made it possible for me to acheive my goals, dreams and goal are possible just stay postive.
