John Robert Powers auditions


Question Posted Thursday July 17 2008, 5:35 pm

I recently heard on my local radio station about John Robert Powers auditions and my mom and I called to schedule one. I have been on one of them before and apparently there are classes that they would like you to take that range from 1,000-6,000 and after you take them, they will help find you work..but there is also a casting director from Disney Channel that will be there so it's kind of like a double thing..my question is, has anyone on here ever been on one of these auditions and gotten something? Or is it just a huge scam? Like a win-lose situation?
Help me out here please!


Thanks!

I had an audition at John Robert Powers. Not only was the agency a scam for asking for money, but I also have a friend who works for a modeling agency who have told me that John Robert Powers is the worst agency to work for.. because the only guarantee you'd have-- would be blowing wayyy to much money.

To answer your question-- yes, it's a scam. You won't win, you'll lose money. There are other agencies that you can look into. Or, you can create your own portfolio and go from there. There's better ways to get found. And remember that any agency that asks for money-- is a scam. Always.

hey I've been to an audition like that before, only for Barbizon. They have you take the classes, but they do not gaurantee you work. The classes help with self confidence, but you aren't guaranteed any jobs. But if I were you I'd go and see what its all about, you never know. What town is it in anyway? They travel all over the country like Proscout. Don't give them any money to join thats a scam.

Go and see, you never know what could happen.

All the best!
