Audition America

I would never use this company again i was told i won and I could pay 150 for my photo shoot and will receive the photos and a digital cd with the photos. I never reveied anything but a cd from everyone auditioning.

So I did audition america when I was 15. And I literally just wanted to take a shot at it and see where it went. Well I ended up winning a "contract" and I paid $150 dollars for the pictures that they took which now that I look back at them were horrible! And then they told me that if I wanted to continue I would have to pay $300 for a portfolio! Right there and then I got the feeling that this company was not a legit one. I honestly dont regret the experience because it made me realize how much I actually want to become and actress but I know there is other ways. And audition america is not it! People save your money and find a real agency!

I paid for my disk and never got it never got information about my performance and they wouldn't answer there phone

I paid over $400 plus paid for my sons modeling cards and now no one will answer my calls or emails in regards to the next step. Even after he supposably won the 1 year contract, still no call back. No one answers the phone at any of the offices. It's totally a scam. Pissed!

Ok so I recently auditioned for america audition and I applied last month and when they called a couple days ago I even asked do I have to pay? Lady said no so I went. Did my audition was the last person with two other femafemales and I made the cut but I noticed EVERY BODy made it so I got happy but edge then the guy added with 3 payments of __ and seriously all my red flags went up. I have took many theater classes yyou are NEVER suppose to pay to have your spot save in a contest I'm sorry I cacall BS I call the good post about it BS. And aafter researching their headshots are not worth the price. I know people who go to audition and gget cast and get paid without a dime from their pocket. I wish I would of vcalled them out but instead i just was like I don't have the money. They are wonderful actors though I admit they get you to believe lol But seriously I liked the runway gave me practice and confidence but seriously please don't pay for it look around for better headshots and do it yourself.

This company is a fraud. They use little kids to get money. LA was suppose to take my 3 month old pictures since she claimed to be a professional photographer. She did not even show up the day of his photo shoot, so I want my 150 dollars back. I'm sad and pist off because I missed an important milestone in my baby's life. This company refuses to take responsibility for there inconvenience. Further more they have faulty equipment and don't show up to there on events on time. Some lady calls to tell you your child will audition for a pampers commercial when in reality its all a gimic.

The people running this company are scam artist i wish i would have researched them before paying them my money. They are unprofessional I heard several individuals on along with me requesting a refund. The guy that claims to be the photographer is rude i overheard him telling one contestant parent and a couple of the teen contestants no one would want to work with them due to their attitudes. He felt they should not give him attitude although he was very rude to them. He said several times he was in charge and ran it all so he did not have to be nice or professional. I felt this was something he was telling them knowing they would not follow through with getting them into a real agency.When i request a refund they gave me attitude and refused to give me a refund. I am so saddened that this mall in mesquite would allow their customer to continue to get ripped off by this company.

i wasnt to pleased how they treated me, i told them i didint have much money, to come up with in two weeks, took my 100.00, and said see you in two weeks, i was unaware of the situation, told him the girls phones were turned off and still sent the receipt to the phone, wanted to know if i can get my 100.00 back,dont have any money right now, there shoot date is schuduled for march 1st and we decided we cant do this right now, if i can get a refund i would appreciate it very much. my name is gail porteous and my email is luckydog1.2@***.com if someone can please email me i would also appreciate it, i tried calling leaving a message and nobody returned my call,thank you very much

What real talent agencies have a sixteen year old kid as a judge? Really!!! This is a scam. $395 for pictures? And you can't use your own. This is a scam that prays on young kids and their parents. They tell the kid how great they are and the parent feels obligated to spend the money to send the kid through the bogus program. It's a perfect set-up, the parent doesn't want say no and hurt the kids feelings. Legit agencies do not charge up-front fees. Be honest with your kids and teach them about companies like this. Find a legit agency and do it right. Think about it people.

my child was soo very happy they told him he had a future no doubt and asked him to come back and intern and then they set him up for a conference call that made no sense but making us believe this was a huge deal! my son believing this was true was so excited and posted things on facebook about the good things that weere gonna happen and now that people found out about this company being a joke...he is going through ***!!!! People are making fun of him calling him a liar and alll bc of what he was being told by this audition America. If my son wasnt as mentally strong as he is he would have already hurt himself over the pain, low self esteem and the feeling of failure that he has now endured! I have to say that the hosta were wonderful and they need to be in the movies,bc they are some extremely good actors!

Both of my girls made it to the finals and the photos that were taken were awesome. This has been great for their self esteem. My oldest one is not a skinny mini and she loved doing this. It has helped to see she is as beautiful as and probaly more talented than others!!!!! Yes it costs money but if you already have a portfolio you dont need to get theirs. My oldest opted to make her own with their pics and my youngest one did the $300 package and I would have paid $500 for them they were great!!!! I met a mom when I was shopping for my girls who's daughter won one of the contracts, we have to wait 4 to 6 weeks to hear about the final results. Wish them luck!!!!!!!!!!!

I would like to refute the report as Audition America being a scam. My kids had an awesome time at the event. They even won contracts and have done work from the event in TV, Print, and Film/ Each day, I am able to apply for jobs that are already listed with my agency who Audition America linked me to through their event. I am very greatful for the wonderful opportunity! I am including other testimonials from others that took part in the event that have had a great time and agree with me. -Auditioning for Audition America was like a dream finally coming true.

All of the staff were extremely friendly and helpful every step of the way. I must admit that after the first night of auditions I was a bit skeptical as any mother would be...what other cost will there be, is this a legit company,etc. Well I was very pleased after doing some research, to find out that ALL is good!

JERMIAH BATISTE 8 YEAR OLD GIRL.Being a Contestant with Audition America Talent Search Scouts was and is ABSOLUTELY AMAZING. My gorgeous seven(7) year old daughter Coralecia Diamond Burrell #224 was chosen to participate in the Model Search Competition 2012. The professional photo shoot was liberating and gave her an opportunity to express her true born natural talent. I loved this priceless experience and I as a proud parent would encourage this experience to any and everyone. Audition America is the TRUTH and a safe, effective way to be discovered in the model world. My daughter and I cherished this experience and her confidence is gold.LaTonya There is nothing better than going up on stage to entertain an audience. Watching the expressions of the many people that lie in front is a feeling that is indescribable. Although my first performance was in front of people at the mall, I would not change it. If it where at a zoo by all means, I would not change it. Give me an audience to present my talent, and I am their. This experience with Audition America gave me more confidence to let my talent loose. I love to see people smile and laugh, I love to entertain, and I love Audition America for giving me the chance to do it, even if it was just for a minute.Yubicela

The company make tours in several cities promising the opportunity to land a job with their clients such as (Calvin Klein, Target, etc.). They ask you to come to a preaudition in which they tell you at the end that you must have a portfolio in order to be considered for their remaining final audition. The fee $150 for each shot in their photoshoot session. The pictures are just ok, not that professional! They give you a T-shirt, bag and a book to go home. When you come for the final audition, this is a total joke! A scam!
