Explore Talent is so amazing. They helped and provide me with auditions every week with the top casting directors and producers. This site is really the thing I've been looking to prove and show my acting skills.

I was in middle school when i made that profile. They had my old address. My old home phone number. Everything. They contacted me saying my pictures match what they are looking for for a zac efron and dwayne johnson movie but all they need is 288 dollars. But i need to make a decision to pay the membership today or she has to move on. I wasnt prepared to pay that for a maybe interview. When i said i'll have to think about it she got rude with me saying she can find someone else for the role. But if that was the case why did you search through a 7 year old account and call me about this? Clearly they need more people to scam. Theres no way they can be serious about my picture matching what they want. I looked ratchet in middle school. Ive graduated college since then. They have no idea what i look like now. I'm not stupid. Nice try though

It's a scam
June 10, 2016

Made the mistake of posting a profile but didn't go through with paying for the VIP yet. I wanted to give it some thought. Commonsense took over thank God and decided to look them up on the BBB. They are not credited which they said they were. That's right the better business bureau they are not credited. And now they are bombarding my phone and driving me absolutely crazy even though I told them I'm not interested anymore. You lied to me once by saying that your accredited business when you're not. If you lie about that you'll lie about other things.

SCAM SCAM SCAM SCAM

If you can't read this headline... then go ahead and pay your hard working money to individuals agents who can't even speak proper English. No legit agency or agent will ever charge. They are not even SAG franchised for you that doesn't know what that means meaning. They are not legit only sag franchised companies can do what they do and non union work. But just non union is all bull$#*!

You pay to get a paying job yea no. There are much better agencies that will help you for free. I kept getting phone calls from explore talent to buy premium for about 450$. They said I had auditions offered Just need to pay and I'll get in contact with the director. Wtf I'm gonna pay you guys to find a cheap paying job if that's even worth getting. Oh BTW I have a app that tells me where the phone calls come from. A couple from India and China and occasionally europe.

They are illegally using the name, location etc. of one of our clients, obviously without any sort of permission. Our client has never been associated with ExploreTalent. They refuse to answer any of the emails we've sent requesting removal, next step is legal.

I just wanted to say how impressed and satisfied I am with Explore Talent, especially with all of the help I received from Angela. She is absolutely great and wonderful at what she does. I have been picked as one of the models for a fashion show and a commercial for a shampoo. Credits to them, I have this gigs to start my career. I never regret that I signed up with Explore Talent.

So I get a call that my daughter has been chosen by the casting director of the Transformers movie and she is "perfect for the role". After a few phone calls I find out that since her account isn't up to date (and hasn't been for atleast 4 years) then my daughter isn't eligible to audition. I said so you are telling me that if I don't pay to update her profile, then she can't get the audition information? I was told, "that's right". This is Bull! It's all a LIE to get people to spend money they don't have. Please don't fall for their lies.

I believe this company is pretty much a scam. My contact and so called agent never returns my calls and takes Very little interest in me and always says she is busy. No personal attention to me is ever given and made to fell like just another number in their system. Never got the business cards I was promised. I never dreamed I was gonna get calls to be a major star but all they ever do is send me links to the same old ads for movies and TV shows that are supposed to be casting. I thought I would at least get some calls for crowd scenes or extras. I would not recomend them to any one or renew with them,,,,, Phil in Vegas
