has anyone ever heard about bravo talent studios?

Question

in a couple of weeks i have an auditions for them and i wanted to know some information about them. i couldnt really find any useful information on the internet so if anyone could help me here it would be great. i had read in a website, though, that if a person goes and "makes it" then bravo doesnt really do much about it and that people might get jobs but not anything worth getting attention from any other agencies. i would just like some information; links, personal experiences anything. thanks!

Answer 1

I've never heard of them, but I can tell you that most scams go like this:

You're walking around the mall, minding your own business when suddenly someone walks up to you and tells you (or your mom) that you are absolutely adorable and have such a special or different look that you could totally make it in the entertainment or modeling industry. They just happen to be having auditions in your area in the next couple of weeks that won't cost you a thing. Just show up and they'll put you on camer to see if you really have what it takes.

Audition day... you show up, they take a polaroid of you and film you reading a scene or commercial page (probably something that you recognize. The commercial might be a big name product, the scene might be from a well known tv show... both materials are easily obtained). NOTE - what they are actually doing here is sizing you up. If you look like they can squeeze a couple thousand out of youm the they will tell you "Congratulation, they think you have the talent and they want you to meet with the agents"

Either at the above meeting or at the next one is where you'll find out that money is involved. They'll tell you you need classes and workshops and seminars, etc. All of which may be true, but not at the prices they are sellingthem. These places get you all excited and make you think you are meeting agents, when in fact you are meeting high pressured sales people trying to get your money. Just stay away if this is the case with them.

If you want to find a legitimate agent to represent you for commercials, TV & film go to Sag.org. Use the dropdown menu on the right labeled 'resources' and choose 'agent information'. On the next screen, on the left choose 'Find a SAG franchised agent' and follow the directions. You can look up agents all over the US, but there are higher concentrations where the work is (Los Angeles, NY, IL, FL, GA etc.)

Then you can send them your headshot, resume, and a cover letter stating that you are seeking representation and wait to see if they call you in for an interview.

Good luck!
