So...You Want to Be An Actor
The 'skinny' on industry scams Acting and modeling rip-offs have been around since forever. Preying on newcomers while eating the profits over empty promises of a show business career. You've seen the ads. 'Wanna be a star?' 'Wanna be on TV?' - accompanied by some toll-free number that connects you to a call-center that will try to sell you a pricey 'talent' page, on a phony website that results in your email and phone getting spammed... or some bogus weekend-hotel 'audition' package for $2,500. Or, maybe you've already forked over $2500 to attend of one of those 'weekend showcases' at a hotel, like a friend of mine did. To realize afterward that you got scammed when they took awful, rushed 'headshots' of you. Were mean or rude during the whole 'talent' process. And no legit agents, producers or casting people booked you on any film or TV shows, as promised. -------IMAGE Stardom shouldn't be THIS TOUGH
