Academy Of Cinema And Television; ACT; A.C.T They tried to scam me real bad Phoenix Arizona
So i callled for this advertisement that i had seeen on tv. I was so excited that my dream of finallly becoming famous would be finally here. So when i got there they gave me this booklet about how everything was gonna be. When it was my turn to go up they made me read from a microphone which was showing on a big scrren tv. They told me that the next day i was to call to know the results.
The next day when i called they told me i had made it . Out of 1000 or so people i was one of the 15 chosen. The talent scout Cathy my dad if he had the money to pay the classes. My dad siad to give him until the next day to bring the 7,000 dollars. Cathey (the talent scout) told my dad that if he didnt have the money they would put someone else in my place. I told my dad that i really wanted this but that it wouldnt be fair if he paid that amount of money. So it was a closed deal.
All i want other kids to know is that if they tell you they have connctions with disney chanel (hannah montanah etc.) they have no connctions at alll.

IF ANY OF YOU PARENTS WHO WERE SCAMMED would open your ears and pay attention when you make the original appointment, you might not be so confused and less likely to take your anger cause by ignorance, out on everyone else! You are auditioning for two different people and AGENT and a PRIVATE ACADEMY! Everyone is told this when they reserve a seat. The problem is no one listens to anything anymore and everyone wants a free hand-out! All you people who were asked to pay for classes.........THAT MEANS YOUR CHILD DIDN'T MAKE THE CUT AND THE ONLY OPTIONS LEFT IF TAKING CLASSES! ALL YOU HAVE TO SAY IS 'NO'. So stop screaming SCAM, because it will get you NO WHERE!! If the AGENT is interested in you there is nothing to pay for....Congratulations on your new career! If the ACADEMY is interested in you then you will have the opportunity to review their programs. The AGENT has nothing to do with the PRIVATE ACADEMY and vise versa. THE AUDITION IS FREE that means NO COST, except maybe a few bucks for parking. As soon as you people hear the word 'school' or 'classes' you immediately assume the worst. YOU ARE WRONG! There are several WORKING ACTORS who have graduated from A.C.T.! You can view their site at: www.theact.tv!
