Hi, going to this meeting should be harmless if they ask for money it might be a scam. There's this thing called ProScout, they help find models and acters for agencies. You go to an open call if choosen you are given info about a ProScout event on the spot. It cost about $500 please hotel fees (if you stay in one) and the price of food. The people are pretty nice and they have helped discover tons of models and acters. I went to their event and now I'm being followed by two modeling agencies. Anyway they explain it better then I do if you want to check it out their wedsite is http://www.proscout.com Hope I helped somebody.

Stephanie,
I went to an open call with my daughter in New Orleans. We are are going to Little Rock for Jan. 07 invitational. I did some modeling when I was younger, so I know a bit about what she is in for. They are not exactly a scam... but slick. I wouldn't even dream of going for acting. It is too subjective and you only have a short monologue to prove yourself. Modeling is about a look and has more criteria. Height,weight etc.If you don't meet the criteria don't waste the $$$. It is expensive, but I think she has a chance and it is easier to go the convention than to do it all myself!

I just read what you wrote. Im trying to get into the Modeling world too,but DONT PAY THEM ANYTHING!!!! No one should have to pay anything. An agent is suppose to do that for you if they want to get you work. Proscout and Model Search NYC all tell you that you got want it take and that they invite you to a convention. NO one get picks its ALL a scam. No REAL modeling agency is goin to the STUPID convention to look for models. Real Model agency have open calls at their company, so would go there. DONT waste your time and MONEY on these things because you dont get anywhere. Tyra Bank said that you dont pay any money and its true.

My child was also chosen for Proscout. Price was 695.00. I like what was said about Proscout. I was not sure. Top Model Tara Banks says if you have to pay money at the beginning such as this that it was probably not true. Asking you for your opinion. Did you daughter go and was she successful.

I went to one of these open calls with my 5'9" 13 year old daughter. She made it through first interview and was asked to go to another where the "top" agencies would be. For $400 we could have a photo session done and use the pics for the interview. I called local modeling agencies to check the guy out. Level Modeling said she knew Dwight Young and said "oh, now he's selling photo packs." She said you should NEVER pay for these things. Agencies make money by booking jobs. You should NEVER pay any money up front. She recommended we have prof pics done if we could but stressed to NEVER pay money at open calls.

I never anything about modeling and did I mention my child is only four years old. It would truly be a blessing if he could go to the top though this program, but a nother problem that I have is that I do not have that kind of money right now and I probably miss out on the opportunity for now anyway.
