Subject: National Discovery Network Author: Carla [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 05:46:29 03/27/03 Thu If anyone has had experience with National Discovery Network, Inc. out of Greensburg, PA, I'd like to hear from you. It's a scouting company and they are interested in my 2-year-old daughter. They want her to participate in a model search convention in Panama City, FL in late May 2003. NDN has a satisfactory rating with the Better Business Bureau, but I'd still like to get some opinions before I sign her up for the convention. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Carla.

[> Subject: NDN kids Author: No name [Edit] Date Posted: 07:55:27 03/22/06 Wed my daughter has also been chosen for the convention. I have already paid the $395 and then was contacted by them to use there photographer for the slides they need. I have my own photographer who said the 35mm slides they ask for seems outdated, and somewhat fishy. He went ahead and did her photoshoot with the 35mm (instead of digital) and warned that requesting the 35mm may of been there way of forcing you to use there photographer at an additional $195.00 charge. We will also have to pay an additional $50 per person. After paying for hotel, and accomidations this weekend convention will run over $1000.00 with no guarantees and no insurance as to who will be viewing the children. I wish I wasn't so financially commited to this scam or I would have back out $500.00 sooner. Good Luck at the show just maybe 1 out of the hundreds there will be noticed.

[> [> Subject: NDN Author: John [Edit] Date Posted: 17:30:53 06/04/06 Sun Thanks I'm suppose to meet with them on 6/6/06 here in Myrtle Beach. They just had a search about a month ago. The meeting was free and they only wanted to look at the kids eyes, becasue the "Market" area they were searching requested this. And with their years of performing searches for the "Indusrty". They were experts at fulfilling the needs of the "Market" based on what it was demanding. I think the only thing their experts at is seeing what parent or in my case grand parent, loves ther child enough to spend money or has the money to spend on, their child. The meeting date was enough for me to stayout this round. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> Subject: Talent Search Conventions Author: Kitty Barrow [Edit] Date Posted: 15:35:20 03/16/07 Fri I attended a talent search in Orlando with my Daughter a couple of years ago. I forget the name of the convention, but they all sound the same. We had a great time and met a lot of great people. She did her runway walk and a short commercial. After meeting with the call backs, we learned that unless my daughter would grow to over 5'11", she would never be a runway model and unless we were willing to move to New York or LA, it was really a waste of our time to sign with these agencies to get her print work, some commercials and/or auditions for TV or movies. Since we are not dedicated enough to my daughters potential "fame", we did not sign with any agencies. Regardless, we did have a good time and learned what it would take to really help her be successful in this industry. Of course, I might have also learned this by searching the internet, but it probably would not have been as much fun. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]
