I've been on this site for awhile now and had been getting phone calls to start work several big name actors/actresses but I needed to be a pro, but I had no money at the time... then a few months later I got another call from them and they said I'd be with Dwayne Johnson and a few other big names in a movie... I looked up the name of the movie and they are making it but I was to get a call within 6 weeks and that was 6 months ago... you might have big dreams but go with someone else for them...

I got major roles in TWO movies since July 7,2006 at Explore Talent. I came back from screentest in Washington, D. C. and was offered major roles in not one, but TWO movies and I am being considered for the LEAD in a third.

I had been booked for a film within one week after the audition. It is so exciting to check onto your site and find out that nearly every day I have been either given gigs for which I can submit myself or better yet, by the time I get the information, you have already submitted me. The best thing about it is that these are not just castings where you are just a barely visible extra if you are lucky. They are quality castings with real credits. Even with an agent, you often times are not going to get this level of activity right from the start.

You are great, how do you do it?! Thank you and Best Regards!

Confuse...
June 22, 2019

Confused as in why I have submitted hundreds of applications but none really get back to me. I fell for the text about landing a Hollister commercial so I signed up for the $116 plan for 6 months. Never heard anything else about the hollister commercial. I was busy when I called them and mistakenly didn't look them up when I was signing up.

Sign up for ActorsAccess or Backstage if you want to book real jobs! :)

A woman from Explore Talent called and told me that my daughter was pre-selected by a casting director of a specific movie to have an audition, and that he would be calling her within a month to give her a skype audition and sides would be provided, yada yada. But wait, first you have to renew your daughter's account, which I did because I did not realize it had lapsed. This was about 3 weeks ago, and I was told that particular movie had not even started filming, and today I find out that they have wrapped up filming this week. Not only this but my friend, who is an actress, was contacted by them stating that she was the perfect fit for a different big name movie. Guess what... renewal time! Do not give them a dime. I haven't even stated all of the things the told me to do that made it seem like it was for real. There are many legitimate casting websites that my daughter and I both work through. This is not one of them!

So the Reviews that list Explore Talent with 4 stars all have profiles that have given reviews four different companies on the SAME DAY. They are trying to appear like they are getting REAL positive reviews but this TO appears to be fabricated. SiteJabber should investigate these "positive" reviews and shine a light on this company. I too paid 189 for there 6 month service. I'm not mad. Just laughing at myself for getting taken.

I was scammed!
September 29, 2019

I actually paid $299 dollars a couple years ago and nothing happened. I called them and asked them what happen they said I never payed the money I was so upset. I have 3 kids like I'm trying to get money and feed my family not give money to scammers.

Used car salesmen
July 9, 2019

The guy originally talked to Percy was very convincing say how much they would help me get an audition. Once I paid the fee it was almost impossible to get any real help. You can log on half the time the other half the site forgets your password. Truly I would not recommend this site to anyone.

Pimp
March 22, 2018

I tried it on a whim, not knowing my information went through when I was told it didn't, but I've been charged money every month for a service i don't use or even worked a day at. I want my money back and I'm going to my bank to stop and recover any unauthorized payments to them. Why do you need money for work you never provided, or I had no knowledge of? Two word for this company: PIMPING

I am proud to have signed up with Exploretalent.com and I honestly feel to share my success with them. I'm now a professional model and been having extras on films, this would not be true if it weren't for ExploreTalent. I give my deepest thanks to you.

Seems sketch.
April 14, 2015

I like to be open minded, so I tend to read the good AND the bad and make an informed decision from there. The bad all seem to say the same, unsure of where their money is going. The good all seem to say the same, got multiple gigs right off the bat. My only issue with the good reviews is they've all been written by sketchy profiles. Sure, the profiles have multiple reviews, but if you click on them, it's of things like "Google.com: Wow! What a neat site!" written on the same day as all their other reviews. Company trying to boost it's own ratings?

Received a call today from Angela, spoke briefly about available roles I'd fit, and then was hit with the sales pitch. I said the price was a bit steep (for a non-agent) and was immediately hit with a "promotional offer" about 40% less. Said I'd consider, doubt I will.
