I was wondering the same as Sarah. I hope these auditions are legitimate. Please don't let yourself get talked into paying for more classes or photos.

it's not a scam. they did offer an expo I was asked to go but said no. I have to complete my portfolio and then they'll send me on auditions. Sadly my portfolio won't be done til March 20. But there's nothing I can do, I can't afford to do it sooner. That would require out of state travel.

You realize that any company that makes you pay for your own photo sessions and portfolio is a scam right ? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk __________________ "I carried a watermelon?" President of the no F's given society. |

Do not pay for photos or for portfolio or for out of state travel. Everyone could be invited to auditions and asked to pay for it. It doesn’t mean there’s any chance in the field.
If you do want to sing, dance and act: every large area has multiple local small theaters. They do multiple auditions every season for every show, some are musicals where you can show your singing talent. Apply for those. It won’t cost you money and you don’t have to travel. It’s easy. I go to many local amateur theaters, they do great job and they’ll appreciate your talent. No need for agency ripping you off or other scammers taking advantage of you |

They pay for photos and travel. Again not a scam.

We pay for copywriting the photos, and that fee is due up front. which I wasn't expecting. I thought it would be sending them in to copywrite.

Why do you need to copywrite a photo of yourself?

But why do you need to travel? You can audition locally first. Then you can take next step. No need to travel right away. Audition locally and see if you have a chance. Why waste money on all this?
