I ll know better next time

First of all the alarm bells started going off when they expected us to complete the paperwork while on a zoom call with them and only had 15 minutes to complete it They made my daughter stand there for 2 hrs while they just talked and talked about how the parents gotta pay up or their kids won t ever become stars NEWS FLASH everyone makes the finalists list They email you a brochure where you have to pick a package and the lowest one starts at 2 000 the highest one tops out at 10 000 What parent has this kind of money Are you kidding me Would of been nice to know before wasting two hours of my life Also you can take acting classes at a fraction of the cost so what am I even paying for

SCAM

SCAM Please don t fall for this Spent 2 days in auditioning process and got my hopes up just to find it was one huge scam Everybody makes it to the final callback where they proceed to persuade you to pay for the bigger packages and make you pay on the spot Gloria gave zero time to think about the money which was one of the many red flags The guest star is a pre recorded video They have you waiting for hours to hear fake results They claim that your in the last 12 of a 10 day audition process the reality is they do this every week I ve even seen ads for next weeks round even though they were closed for the next 10 days Do not give them any bank details or information Don t waste your time if you are passionate about acting modelling there is real professionals out there who will appreciate you for a lot less money

This is Scam

This is Scam I just had what they called an audition I have seen an add on insta Signed up they called me saying they are from Casting Call and that I have an audition via zoom gave me text to memorize commercial do K-Mart I have attended zoom the women who leads had a lot of make up and was wearing a black fur and said she is in LA It was first red flag who wears fur in L A It is warm there her name was Gloria didn t not gave last name Than she introduced Ryan H Like another person who makes decisions and then she introduced actor or someone who resembles the real one Larry Van Buren Jn He was loud and obnoxious I didn t believe what he was talking about There was over 100 people besides me on that zoom call Gloria was talking for hour and a half about same stuff and was repeating herself all the time She is a professional scammer she has a grip on people She was taking soo much and nothing about the cost It s specific tactic you have to stand all the time she is talking and get tired that you don t think straight There was a moments when she would break the character and you can see real her just for a brief moment She has a lot of jewelry and wears fancy clothes but she has bad teeth and that got me wondering too Finally they divided us in two groups and auditions started Kids went first and parents had so much hope for them You can see some very talented kids and very tired worried parents who want support they kids The guy Ryan H was complimenting everyone He had face that you can not trust I already new it was the scam when they sent us the brochure that said on page 10 all the prices All that talk and nothing about the prices It was ridiculous 900 for 5 weeks acting classes and they go up to 10000 depending on the level you choose So basically everyone thought they auditioning for an actual commercial but it was auditioning to get in they acting classes They are different type of scammers they hide behind the business that offers acting classes via zoom And that s it It s a two hour sale pitch

Scam

Scam It seems really legit when first doing the audition but guess what everyone gets a call back They just want you to pay money for an over priced class They tell you that you have to send an email with information on your child I feel completely violated Parents don t do this I even went back in and did another registration today after our audition for a fake child names and with my email They changed the audition date to a couple days later They do this every week multiple times a week and find more people to scam We got a call back for tomorrow and that my child needs to prepare a monologue and I finally did my research on this complany tonight I feel stupid

Scam

Scam No stars Don t bother to audition because everyone will get a callback Expect your child to stand for 2 hours while listening to sells pitch No legit website or info that you can find about it or talent scouts Disney guest star actor haven t been on any of the show s mentioned It s all about selling acting classes or modeling that cost I knew it was a scam after 10 min but didn t want to break my 9 year heart who prepared to audition and memorized the lines You will get an email with a brochure and page 8 has acting classes programs to choose from Like I ve mentioned above everyone will get a call text back thats how they make money

This is a scam

This is a scam Do your homework They rush you around and there is limited time to think They demand lots of money just for generic acting classes We did the free audition They knew what to do to get everyone thinking it was normal to have extremely tight rules like having kids stand for hours without sitting They flatter the kids and the parents Page five of their pamphlet is the only page with real information The rest is fluff Even then the information is scarce and misleading When a person s job is dependent on a lie they will believe it with their whole heart so don t trust these people even if they seem genuine Avoid and got to a local acting school for a fraction of the price

Casting Biz

Casting Biz is a scam This company will lie to you and your children stating that this is the last day of their 10 day run The alleged talent director Gloria who looks like the mom from Bewitched spends an hour talking down to the kids To send you to a break out room for your audition Our camera froze and the evil Ms Gloria told my son he had two seconds to fix his camera Well as we attempted to fix our camera she kicked us out I still can believe she did this We wasted over an hour and my child is devastated Do not waste your time The main speaker will drive a spear through your children s heart with her presentation

AVOID Unethical expensive marketing scam

This is a money-making marketing scheme only preying on children s dreams at vastly inflated costs to parents Check the small print on their own website which states that Casting Call is NOT a casting talent or management agency - just a network marketing business This isn t an audition for Disney You ll be faced with 2hrs of being barraged with the sales pitch whilst your kid is made to stand throughout Your kid then gets just 50 seconds to deliver a memorised advert script told that only a small proportion will make it through to a 2nd audition the following day SPOILER ALERT everyone gets through contacted by text late at night given just 15mins to reply choosing which of 4 training packages which cost up to 10 000 you commit to buy Once I d researched online and replied to their insistent texts with links to negative reviews and news articles about their scheme they sent me a barrage of very unprofessional personally insulting messages DO YOUR RESEARCH If you have the money you can buy acting classes and attend showcases in front of actual casting agents for a FRACTION of these costs Do not give these sharks your money
