OR is it a place that can really help you and succed in acting and modeling?

Answer 1

It is a school, not an agency. They will be asking you for a lot of money for "lessons". They cannot get you work as an actor or a model. Because they're not agents.

What they were doing is a sales technique known as "cold-calling". They are trying to drum up business. I don't know how they got your name and number, but in the end it doesn't matter. Whenever a business calls YOU, without you having called them first, they are after money. That's the only reason they call.

Buyer beware.

I keep on getting mail from them like EVERYDAY!! I once got like 4 postcards in 2 days. I dont even know how they know me...

Answer 3

It all depends on where it is located and who is running it. I was just caught up in an awful scam with Pacific modeling and acting academy over the weekend.

But you seriously need to do your research for this place.
