carolyn's model and talent agency Model scam Mississauga, Internet
This agency is not legit for modeling. I have heard stories from people who have signed with them and they don't follow industry standards. They are not on the ACTRA list so that is a redflag. Knowing your rights as a model and actor are important. First thing an agency that is legit will have small rooster. Anyone who takes someone without experience is another redflag. NO legit agency will take someone on without porflio and experience. Legitimate agencies don’t require you to buy photos or insist that you only use a particular photographer. If a talent agency wants you to pay for photos up front, walk away.
Any legit agency will let you chooose a photographer, this means you don't have to use theirs. They can't ask you to pay for photos! You don't need to pay for course fee's that is a sign usally they just want money. A good agency will not pressure you to take any classes. That is not what they are for. Angeny that has experience will NEVER ask you to take classes because in order to get an agent you need experience. That is a scam! As well any agent that is good will have lots of industry connections. They will never take someone on unless they know they can get them work. An agent only makes money if they get the client work. As well if you are actra THEY can NOT send you out to do non-union work.
I don't know a single actra memeber that is with this agency. A good agent will get you auditons for TV and Movies. You may not get the part but a good agent will send you out on a lot for calls. It is the agents job to get you work. As well a normal rate or fee is $250 and the agency must be able to allow monthly pay. This means any rate they charge you they must be able to take installments. This means annual payments must be accepted as well they must accept all payment methods not just cash. As well just reviews some companies hire people to write good reviews. If you see too many negative reviews (like this company something is wrong) I don't think this is a good angency for anyone to sign on to. They don't seem to be very proffessional. Know your rights!
