John Robert Powers Ripoff Frauding the public and its children Charlotte North Carolina
The advertise for auditions open to the public for an upcoming movie, or upcoming modeling print adds, and you get all excited. You get there with the rest of the people, they give you this HUGE SONG and DANCE, you meet with someone, they look at you for 2 seconds, you do their bit on camera. Then you have to call them back the next morning to hear, "We will have our director call you right back", an hour later they call and start with what time can you be back here for your second audition?
Then the BIG PRESSURE, when you come back, you need to have either a check or credit card amount of $1950.00 for 20 weeks. Ok, What the hell? We were told that this was an audition not tuition. I thought I was taking my daughters for a REAL AUDITION, not enrolling them in some sort of finishing school. That $1950.00 is each not both. Pretty sad, My girls are extremely beautiful inside and out. My oldest was HEART-BROKEN!!!!!!!!!! I did NOT take her to the second "AUDITION" we did do some checking on the interenet and found out a lot more about this SCEEMING-so-called-company.

JRPs are all individually owned and operated. The company as a whole is over 80 years old and number one in the world! JRPs combined have produced more top models and talent than all of the other development centers in the world combined. They usually only accept about 1/3 to 1/2 of the people from any first audition in most facililties worldwide. The fact that your kids are "great looking" will help get them noticed, but without knowing what they are doing via professional development and training they will not work! Being the cutest kid, or most handsome or beautiful in the room at a professional audition is a myth as a means to get work in this very competitive industry. It's too bad that you did not follow through with their 2nd audition (they may not have been accepted anyway) as you would have at least had the opportunity to get some of your negativity resolved through getting the correct information. Did you go onto the JRP website; call the BBB; ask for any local references from students attending this specific JRP if not offered by them at the first audition? JRP is a great company with great people. Sorry for your dissapointment, but you quit prematurely and without really giving them a chance. Believe what you see and experience not what you hear and read! Don't let your girls give up if it is truly what they want and if they are really that marketable. Break a leg!!
