I'm happy with Prestige program
To prepare actors and models for a interview with Agents. Preparation is key in these big opportunity moments, experience in auditions is they key to the puzzle when your child shows signs of talent in this industry. Presley is getting great Guidance from Bridgett and coach CAT!

November 8, 2021

My daughter started training with Coach Cat in August and went to her first showcase in October 2021. We arrived a day early for Mark to take her headshots and they are phenomenal. Mark walked her thru posing and made the process so easy. Bridgett and Marked helped us pick out outfits for the showcase and walk thru how the showcase would be the next day. As a parent, I was super nervous about the showcase and they had it down to make it comfortable and fun for the kids. The trainings she received from Coach Cat had her well prepared. She received callbacks from all agents and also has the ability to attend future showcases if we choose. From the beginning, Mark, Bridgett, and Coach Cat have been helpful and responsive to all calls and texts. We couldn't be happier! Thank you Prestige!

Bridgett Is amazing
October 28, 2021

I am so pleased to have come in contact with Bridgett. She has helped with process of my children getting started with their career in acting in more ways than one. She is very informative, kind and encouraging. My children have never received training, however Bridgett was able to prompt them in a way that made it a pleasurable experience for them both.

Scam
September 14, 2021

We spent 1k plus cost to travel to Vegas. My granddaughter did a showcase. We were told they would get back to everyone within a few weeks and its been over 2 months and they have not responded. I have sent 2 nice emails to Bridgett just to check on things and have yet to get a response back. I get every child is not going to book jobs and that's fine, but a simple email back is really not that hard to do when we paid over 1k to your office. Its just basic customer service.

We reach out to the parent listed on the signed contract.

Anyone who didn't get a callback, just as informed at the showcase, is to inform us of the next showcase you want to attend free of charge.

Again, all this is listed on the contract the parent signed. We let our kids perform until the job is done, no questions asked.

It is solely the performers responsibility to let us know which future showcase they plan on attending.

Sitting back at home no being proactive but willing to cry your own laziness via site jabber is your fault, not ours.

Notice how this is the only negative review regarding callbacks. Everyone else listened and enjoyed. It's just basic common sense and being literate.

Great Agency!
September 5, 2021

We went to an open casting with Prestige and were a little bit hesitant at first. They provided Acting, Modeling, Singing, and dancing training for their showcase that we attended. We worked with coach Cat, Donna, Bridgett and Mark. They were so good to work with and they prepared us to meet with agents out of LA and Vegas. We were able to sign with one of those agencies and now have a Print, Acting, and Dancing contract! Couldn't be happier with their service!

Guys, they're a scam
August 18, 2021

Lol a couple months ago I fell for it, firstly they make you pay for classes, they aren't SAG-AFTRA franchised, they are a fake agency, con artists, and they crush everyone's dreams, do no fall for it. Take it from me, I fell for it, my mother ended up paying 1,000 dollars for classes, then after I did my homework on this industry filled to the brim with con artists, I landed my first contract for representation with a franchised legit agency. Save yourself some time and don't be affiliated with a fake agency located in Las Vegas which is a another red flag, I also don't think the staff knows that they're frauds. Feel free to ask me any questions.

Do not ping on her that your kid didnt make it. My child has grown so much finding bridgette. They got signed by someone in hawaii and on stand by for other agencies the love and care she hasfor our family is outstanding. She spots talent and saw my son when other talent scouts were blinded to his potential. I recommend her to everyone I meet andeven had my neighbor sign their kid up.

Dont judge what you got no clue about.
Talent scouts bring you to agencies and agencies get the jobs.

Sign your kid up if you believe in them and she believes in them.
Trust me this is legit.,- Zaltanyah zoeys and zedekiyah mom

We are impressed!
July 20, 2021

Bridgett is amazing! She is so friendly and helpful. My husband and I were skeptical at first. However, she has bent over backwards to try and help us with any issue that we run into. She shows that she cares and that is so comforting. We are still in the beginning stages, nevertheless she has been such a help. She answers all of our questions and offers to help when we need it. We are very impressed so far. We are excited to see where this opportunity takes us.

We feel fortunate to have found Mark and Bridgett and the team of Prestige Talent Agency. At the start of the process, we were skeptical about their program, but we decided to go ahead with it. They offered 6 (2 hour + 1.5 hour) sessions of acting and modeling classes. The coaches were extremely knowledgeable. My 6 year old son trained with Coach Terry, Coach Cat and Coach Donna. Coach Cat customized commercial and monologue based on my son's favorite things. He was always happy practicing and performing and he felt more than ready for Talent Showcase. Mark and Bridgett were very gracious at their beautiful Vegas venue. They made all the kids very comfortable. My son performed with full confidence and got call back from agents. I am happy that we have started off with a solid foundation with Prestige Talent Agency!

Bridgett, Mark, and Coach Cat did an excellent job preparing our son and daughter for their showcase. Their training, guidance, and expertise got both of our kids signed to an agency. We are new to the industry and the Prestige Talent team answered all our questions and assisted us through the process. I highly recommend them to anyone who wants to get their foot into the entertainment industry!

My daughter walked in two Runway events. Prestige took the time to work with her so she was confident when she went onstage. We want to thank Prestige for making my daughters dream come true. Even though she is signed there doors are always open for her to come back and train.

Thank you

I can't thank this company enough for the experience they gave my daughter. Coach Cat was awesome! Bridgett and Mark are professionals and you can tell they love what they do and can see talent with all of the kiddos who walk through their doors (or zoom).
The Zoom classes were fun and informative and my daughter always left the sessions with something new to work on and to improve on. Coach Cat was a great coach. She was funny, kept the kids engaged and always had something positive to say about my daughters work, but was not afraid to also tell her areas to work on. Once in Vegas, the showcase was fun, exciting to watch and such an amazing experience. My daughter walked out of there knowing she did her best and that was all we were looking for. All the kiddos were supportive of each other, the energy was positive and the parents all bonded together as we all cheered each other's child to do their best. But to top it off, my daughter got call backs from 2 agents! This is just the beginning for my daughter's journey and I can't thank Prestige Talent enough.

Back in September, I came upon an advertisement on Instagram from Prestige Talent for auditions. This was a few months after my showcase with another management agency that gave up on me after my agent callbacks never reached out to me. I decided to schedule an audition, which would later prove successful.

The auditioning process was easygoing and exciting. Bridgett and Mark were very helpful and kind to the auditioners, giving everyone a fair opportunity to showcase their talent. They made it very clear that if we want this program to prove successful, we need to be committed and willing to do what it takes. Regarding their program callbacks, they notified us in a timely manner, where I am happy to say I was chosen to enter the program.

Having been through this process before with my previous management agency, my mother and I were concerned that we would end up the same way as before -- no results with money lost. It was something about Bridgett's tenacious demeanor that gave me hope, that this would prove successful. I want people to know that Bridgett DOES care about the outcomes, and if the first time doesn't prove successful, then she will put her trainees back out there should they be motivated and willing to achieve it. We agreed to enroll in the program for a MUCH more reasonable fee and schedule than the other company I worked with. If you're not convinced, at least understand that Prestige Talent's tuition isn't even half of the $3,500 for the 6-month program I mistakenly enrolled in before.

There are different levels for classes, each with different course lengths. I chose the 4-week course for acting only. I found that I learned so much more about acting, the entertainment industry, and more with Coach Cat and Coach Foster! Not only did they critique my acting pieces, but they also taught me how to build my entertainment resume and all the paperwork needed to enter the industry. I was required to memorize a commercial and monologue as well as provide a professional resume and headshot for the showcase that recently happened two weeks ago.

When it came around to the showcase, Bridgett and Mark were super helpful and guided us through every step. I remember asking Mark during the break, "What happens if I don't get a callback?", which he responded that I was now part of the Prestige Family and we could showcase with them as many times as we need to land an agent. The showcase might sound intimidating, but it's not. Just make sure you're ready and that this is the path you want to take. That being said, the rest of the showcase went smoothly, where I was able to confidently perform.

It took around two weeks to hear back from agents. I'm happy to say that Bridgett called me yesterday saying I got an agent callback, which my mother and I are still super excited about. Prestige Talent proved to me that there are indeed agencies that really do want young actors to succeed, and this is one of them. From aid to encouragement, Bridgett, Mark, and their staff aim to help their trainees reach their goals in the entertainment industry.

I just put my daughter through Prestige Talent's training program and it just started her career! My daughter found Prestige Talent through social media and decided to sign up for an audition. Once accepted, I was excited to encourage her to consider television and film acting along with modeling, singing, and dancing. Even though we were new to Prestige, we were treated like family and couldn't have asked for a more professional and well organized program! The online training sessions prepared my daughter for the final showcase where she was able to meet agents spanning from NY to LA! Bridgett and Mark are a fabulous team and we look forward to taking the next step with Prestige!

SCAM!
October 17, 2020

There is always an agency like this who is to take advantage of people in their dreams. These people are amongst them… Do not give them any money… Do not even think that they can help you in anyway.
It is the usual BS that they think that your child or your young person is above average and must be seen in Hollywood.
As a professional actor, producer and mentor I tell you to run not walk away from people like prestige talent.
Call your local screen actors Guild office and ask them if you should ever pay an agent.

Talent Agents and talent managers get paid a percentage of what the artist earns.

This company is a predatory scam for people who don't know and or are new to the industry.

Breaks my heart that thieves like this are still in existence.
I will do my best to shut them down.

Lonie R. Has never been a client nor ever received any of our services and has posted a false review.

Prestige Talent is the liaison between the client and the agent. Read our website as to what we do and services we offer. Why would we be an agency that introduces you to other agencies?

Prestige Talent offers training/development and showcases for their clients.

There is a growing epidemic in the entertainment industry that people who are just starting do not think they need to invest in themselves and in the entertainment industry… NOT TRUE.

If you want to be an actor, model, dancer, singer, etc you must train and attain the required, and necessary materials. Those things cost money! No one is going to pay for your classes, training, private coaching, showcases, workshops, seminars, photos, etc, except YOU!

Agents and managers make a percentage from that client. How long do you think an agent or manager will work without the client bringing in some revenue? NOT VERY LONG! Heres why: There are simple steps for you, the talent (actor, model, singer, dancer) to take in order to bring in revenue. You all remember the phrase "It takes money, to make money"? You have to have something to give to bettering yourself as talent, to insure you book, and have staying power within the industry. Otherwise you look as though you are expecting others to do it for you, and that wont happen. Let me be clear this doesn't negate the headline "Do you work for free? NO", they do have several clients and are making money from each of them at different times through out the year, they diversify their client lists with talent at all stages of their career to insure they aren't working for free.

The entertainment industry is just like any other industry, or sport; by which I mean, one must invest in the continuing training it takes to remain competitive. There is far too much talent vying for a spot on a Commercial, TV, Film, Stage, etc that you must do all you can to separate yourself from the pack. If you do not have the money to train, renew headshots, and private coach when needed, you may not see any results. Now having said that, there are sometimes ways around it if you don't have the money, you can ask if you may work for it. Intern or help out at the acting/ dance/ singing studio in exchange for classes. Mind you this may not always work as the studio may be well staffed, and just as the headline states, the studio can NOT WORK FOR FREE. They have to pay the bills.

Now when talent is starting out do they have to take some projects to gain credits that may be little to now pay, yes! You aren't working for free, you are working for copy, credit, meals, mileage/ gas reimbursement, etc. THERE IS SOMETHING GIVEN IN EXCHANGE FOR YOUR TALENT SERVICES, i. E. NOT FREE!

In this industry it baffles me why people think they don't have to invest time and money just like anything else in life. If you want to be a doctor, do you not have to invest time and money in studying, before you can make it back? It is exactly the same in the entertainment industry. Actors are paid well because they work damn hard to get there, and work damn hard to stay there…

Moral of the story, DO NOT GO INTO THE ENTERTAINMENT INDUSTRY thinking someone else should take care of these costs, tasks, investments, commitments etc for you, IT WON'T HAPPEN…

The process have been amazing from start to finish. Mark and Bridgett cares a lot about the industry and it shows through their coaching. They were able to answer every question for us, the day of the showcase was amazing, especially during these times. The studio was safe, everyone wore a mask, sanitizer throughout. We truly felt comfortable. Our daughter has received two call backs from the agencies that were there at showcase. I was hesitant at first but I'm glad I followed through.
