Open Casting Calls? Eek! What to do?

Question

I'm a fifteen year old brunette from Massachusetts, with no singing or acting experience. Well, I guess I just don't count being just dramatic in general, or singing with two other friends in front of a group of fifth, fourth, and third graders in the fifth grade. Acting is something I've wanted to pursue my entire life, since I was very small. My sister thinks I'm a natural and decided to call into this place that they had over the radio for girls and boys wanting to audition for roles in Disney shows and movies. What would I expect when I go? What do I wear? What will they expect of me? If anyone has gone to one of these, please let me know what happened. Please, and thanks to anyone and everyone who can give me advice on this. :]

Answer 1

Your sister called a SCAM artist. Don't go they are just after your money. It sounds like Powers, the worst of the worst.

Answer 2

Be careful, if you heard about this "agent" on the radio, its most likely not legit. If they make you pay to work for them then it is a scam. I would suggest getting involved in community theatre to gain more experience first.

Answer 3

The others said it for me.  I'll say it again because I hate to see people get ripped off.  Glad you checked first.

Answer 4
