STEER CLEAR
October 4, 2019

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..

A very scripted scam
April 29, 2016

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a speaking role in Fast & Furious 8 and that the casting director tried to contact me but couldn't since my account was no longer active.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.

Soooo rude!
September 29, 2016

I spoke with "Toni Sox" and her extension is #8837 phone number *******777.
She was nice and quick to say "free this" "free that"... tell me "Okay please hold to submit your profile" I waited... then she said "Okay, the director cannot take your profile due to not having paid the ProfilePro rates."
Typical scam approach. Don't fall for it people!

It's a scam
July 16, 2019

At first, I talked to a man named William and he was very convincing. He made me believe I had a forever 21 modeling opportunity waiting for me. But I needed to pay. It jut doesn't add up. If we have the talent. They should want us more than we want them. Really got my hopes up when I first saw the ad. Later that night when I was supposed to call him back, I talked with my dad. Luckily he gave me the idea to look at the reviews and that's why I'm here. After seeing what everyone else had to say. I never called him back. I don't recommend this at all. It's a scam!

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.

Overwhelmed
January 26, 2017

Explore Talent, I wanted to thank you for your wonderful services. I really enjoy checking my calendar to see what new and exciting casting calls are listed. Because of you I was cast as a featured extra in the short film. I hope this leads to more opportunities. This ExploreTalent website has been a wonderful experience and I tell everyone about you. Thanks again!

I have always been told that I should be an actor because of my personality and flare for style. I didn't know how to break into acting from my level, no formal training or connections. I found the link for Explore Talent and decided to give it a try. I was doubtful at first but within 2 weeks of becoming a member I was picked to work in a Lee Jeans Promotion making $14.00 per hr.

It's not the dream acting job I am pursuing but it is a start, and it shows that Explore Talent does what they advertise; your company is in business to promote talent, and I am very pleased with your services. The business cards are beautiful and I look forward to gaining recognition with them while promoting your services at the same time.

I'm contimplateing
June 2, 2015

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.

I learned a lot from Explore talent and I'm really glad I went with them as I enter this career field. As an aspiring singer I am really happy with the process and it was quite easy to sign up through them. Weeks later, they called and told me that I had an interview and the experience I gained from just that interview was more than worth the effort I made. When it comes to service, ET folks have great people and their staff answered all the my questions. I would recommend them for anyone interested in furthering their personal and career development.
