I heard on the radio that there was an audition this saturday. The number they told us to call was (416) 640-1919. I didn't get to hear the whole thing, but all I heard was that they were looking for 200 kids (or something like that) for Zoey 101, Fabulous, and the Amanda Show etc...
Any information will help.
Thanks.
(Does John Robert Powers have anything to do with this audition, as well as this email? info@jrpowers.net)

Don't go, it sounds like a scam. The audition will set you up for a high pressure sales session where they try to get you to take their 'classes' and sign with their agency or affiliated agency who I've heard some people claim gets them work but take 50% of their pay! They are not legitimate, they take people for all they can... it's ridiculous.
You can find better classes on your own. The only thing those people are 'industry professionals' in is scamming poor young people with stars in their eyes. They know how to work that angle. It's sad.
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.

I don't think you should attend it because most auditions on the radio are a SCAM. Don't believe what you always hear.They will take your money away from you.This almost happened to me.
John Robert Powers doesn't have anything to do with this i think.
