Does any one know if john casablancas modeling center is a Jip?

Question

Im an aspiring modeling student. I was accepted in my first interview with the JC center in Tulsa, OK. But I have been hearing disturbing rumours that they dont actually find you jobs and they charge way too much. Does any one know if this is true and if it is, can someone tell me the agency with cheapest training (if any) and most effective in bookings.
thanks.

Answer 1

Go to Ripoffreport.com and type in John Casablancas. The first thing that came up was a report on the location in Tulsa...

I believe these franchises just like so many others that do the same type of things have a long history of preying on people who don't know any better.

You don't need training. Submit your photos yourself or go to an agency's open calls. Check the websites for big agencyies directly, they tell you exactly what they require physically and how to submit to them. Start here:
http://www.fordmodels.com/main.cfm - click on ‘global scouting’
http://www.elitemodel.com/flash.html - click on ‘be discovered’

Good luck!

Everyone knows they are a gyp! No one has the answer to your question. Usually agencies do not also teach. There has long been some kind of rule against it. maybe just an ethical code. Powers is the same. They make money giving lessons to people who will never make it and they know that. Just like most university theatre programs and so called professional acting schools.
