OK so I call back today to find out if the scout from yesterday was interested in a call back for my son. I was also interested in the school thing, as he would do great there. Well, they lied. There was no scout from Disney or Nickelodeon. There was only this audition to be in their school, which my son did get a call back for… It still wouldn’t be a problem except that they want me to come up with $1000 TODAY to put him in the school.
Uh
No
So she says they have a less expensive program not in the package that is ONLY … get this only…
$600 down TODAY.
Yeeeeah… aiight. Not happening.
SO I have decided to take it upon myself to find him an AGENT that doesn’t require money up front and only takes their percentage for doing their job. That’s what an agent should do, anyway. They don’t get paid unless you get paid.
Be warned. If anyone ever calls you and says they are from an place that does talent scouting, make sure they are not just a school. Get your own agent or be your own agent. Otherwise, you will end up with a long day full of expectations that boil down to absolutely nothing.
