Plain and simple, no. We know this because many of us do or have worked in the business, there are so many scammers out there it's ridiculous. If anything the site you mentioned is regurgitated info. from other sites that are legit or it could be shady, who knows? I checked it out and some of the projects look familiar and some I've never heard of. Get training, get experience, and get an agent the old fashioned, tried and true way. No one on the web is going to hand you a career... if it seems to good to be true it is.
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.
Once you have an agent, they will get you the auditions, but until then you can check out actorsaccess.com. You can also see if your state has a film alliance. Sometimes they post audition information for projects filming locally. For theatre, you can go to backstage.com or http://www.actorsequity.org/castingcall/... If you find the audition on the Equity site, you still may be able to go, as long as their not taking appointments from equity actor's only :-) On backstage.com you have to pay to get all of the info, but the initial search is free and you may be able to see enough info to find out the rest on your own without paying.
Do not pay anyone like John Robert Powers anything. They make false statements and use high pressure sales tactics to get people to give up their money for glorified classes... don't do it.
Good luck

There are soooooo many questions about how to start an acting career that you can do a search here on answers.yahoo and find a lot of answers to that same question.
While I love answering questions here, I found that there is a lot of redundancy. So I created a free ebooklet that can be downloaded on my website. It doesn't cost anything. It is a free, 28 page guide that talks you through what it takes to become an actor and how to get started. Just sign in and download it.
That should answer all your questions.

Rule variety one is which you would be able to desire to have the two expereince and coaching earlier you will get an agent. you won't be able to easily get an agent. you could desire to first have approximately 2-3 years of training from a reliable performing college AND journey in maximum suited roles in newbie productions like college performs, community theatre, summer season inventory, and so on. No agent different than a scammer will additionally seem at you without coaching and journey in case you at the instant are not even gifted sufficient to be forged in a maximum suited place in an newbie community theatre production with different non-expert actors, there isn't any way you would be gifted sufficient to be forged in any television instruct, action picture or television commercial

There is no such things as a website to find an acting career.
NY Gal is right. There are no shortcuts and no exceptions.

No, it is not a good website.
It is not going to help your acting career.
If you want to be an actor, there is no way around what is necessary to become an actor:
1. Take acting lessons for many years,
2. Audtion for roles, in theaters, in your city,
3.
