Scam
April 15, 2016

I just got a call from them out of Las Vegas saying I had CDs interested in me but that my profile wasn't up to date. I never remember signing up for this. They had an address from 10 years ago in their system... I never even agreed to sign into "my profile" and instead told them I didn't recognize them as a legitimate business and refused to do so referring to identity theft and scams. They didn't bother trying to call back thank goodness!

In addition, they asked if I have ever "done any acting." If they were really concerned, they could have looked up my IMDB profile. They said I could be making up to $xxx a day... I'm a SAG-AFTRA actor and that number was ridiculously low. Lol, red flags left and right!

Not a scam
May 11, 2016

Okay the reason why other people are saying it's a scam is because 1. Either never got the role they wanted. 2. OR DIDN'T do the application right, or 3. Couldn't or wouldn't pay, so they're trying to get a bad rep for this site, if you want to act, model, sing or whatever. Their are some big chances you have to take, it's not just going to come to you one day and say "hey you're famous" like you actually have to work and try hard for this.

They are scammers
April 21, 2015

I joined them back in 2010. Had my mom pay for it because i did not have money and i told her that i trusted them. Boy was i wrong. I paid and they gave me paper work and he said just wait for my phone call. Its been 5 years. They email me again last week and they wanted me to come in for an audition. I accepted forgetting about them. I checked them out again and i remembered that they took my money and never called me. So i did not go then someone calls me from their and tell me that i missed the appointment and if i wanted to set another. I told her i joined in 2010 and paid money and never got a job. You really think i am going to do that again. So i told her to lose my number and i don't want that company to call me again or i will report them for harassment. Hopefully they don't call me again.

I did not see all of the reviews but i do not pay the fee stated by the first persons review that i saw i pay only about 10% of what she said and i have not have had any real problems i have been pursuing a career for more than forty years and some people can be ruthless in this industry even close relations your own parents even just to have petty desires fulfilled and then there are people whom don't enjoy the numerous careers involved in the entertainment industry and are only there for monetary means, Frederick Stills beam me up Scotty i'm out

Im broke with a dream
November 23, 2015

I applied for the website and I got the free profile. I was ok with that. But then I went to apply for some awesome roles and they said I had to pay $500 to submit the application. I am sorry but I work for a minimum wage job and cant pay that. I really hate websites that try to get money from people who are trying to make their dream come true. That's exactly what they do. If your rich and can get anything you want then go for it. But if your someone like me go to one source talent. If someone really wanted you for the role they would want you and not your money...

A SCAM!
September 12, 2016

The company is fradulent! A total and complete SCAM! Please notify authorities if they contact you. I run a high school drama club, and this company CHARGED a family $180 for "setting up an audition" for their 8 year old child for a role in a high school drama club production across the state, over 200 miles! To a show that is not at all open to any student outside of our own school - which we don't charge ANYONE to audition - incredible. The authorities have been contacted and I hope no one else falls for this scam. It's a phishing scheme, plain and simple. Our auditions are not open to the public nor were they advertised anywhere as such. SCAM! My heart goes out to the victims of this company. Please, people. NEVER pay money to anyone to get your child onstage.

Scam
August 4, 2018

Let's think about this people... If you have to give a talent agent money to get a job... it's a scam! They sent me to text messages. Both were asking me for $300 and $250. Then I'd get the details on the job. Plus, I'd get an agent

Excellent service!
November 18, 2016

Just wanted to thank Explore Talent for their excellent service! My daughter landed a movie role in an upcoming feature film and also a photoshoot after just one month as a member. Yesterday, we just heard from another director who would like to cast her in ANOTHER feature film! Thanks so much

On 07-04-06 07:43 am, I got selected as a principle actress of a rock video. Many thanks for the professional approach and connections at Explore Talent. I was selected as a principle actress in the first rock video of a new young music star! Since then I had lots of gigs. I am looking forward to lots of acting opportunities.

Explore Talent is a great source of industry employment! Thank you Explore Talent!
