Tami Erin Teresa Navarro, Celebrity Boot Camp workshop Tami Erin steals cildrens dreams and rips off parents San Francisco, California
I am trying to get my 13 yr old daughter into the acting business. I signed her up for an iternet casting board. I was contacted by a "casting director" Suzanne Wong for an Audition on a new childrens tv show titled Real Kids Adventures. We went to the Audition in SF, and a couple of weeks later were contacted via email that the Producer Tami Erin wished to speak to us on the phone. After 1 cancelation we received a phone call, and talked to a woman for over a 1/2 hr.
A couple weeks later we received another email from Suzanne Wong saying that Ms. Erin would like to speak to us again. When she "Tami Erin" called again she told us my daughter was hired and gave us intructions on how to get a work permit, Coogan acct, and to make sure and respond to any emails i received quickly. She then suggested i sign my daughter up for an acting on camera class she provided "seeing as my daughter did not have any TV training" and would not be asked to come back to filming if she did not "hit it out of the park"
We were sent a contract to sign stating rate of pay, other children hired, Directors name, name of series, budget, ect. from Starring kids productions. I signed it and faxed it back. I opened a Coogan acct, and worked franticly to get the Entertainment work permit in time for the June 4th filming date. Then on april 30th i received an email from a Teresa Navarro saying that there was a request from the director for my daughter to sign up for Ms. Erins acting class to get prepared for the up comming shoot. (www.filmandtvacademy.com I signed my daughter up for the class ($750.00) 6 weeks.
I was shown a great studio with cameras and a green screen. 5 days before the start class the location was changed to a seedy part of SF in a dingy old theatre (that smelled like urin) and the teacher who was supposed to be an "actor" is really a Real Estate agent. When i tried to email all involved about scrips, filming locations, times, dated ect. ect. i have not heard back from any of these people. I finally had to tell my daughter that Mom had been scammed, and there is no tv show, and that the class was a joke. She cried a lot, is embarressed because she told all her friends, and can't understand how someone could do such a thing. Hard lesson in life.

On Camera Acting Film & TV Academy has HAPPY clients since 2003, for 8 years which equals a 99% success rate which is high for this industry. Tami Erin has hundreds of HAPPY clients over the past 8 years and is a Movie Star and Humanitarian. This Self Proclaimed "STAGE MOM" has a lawsuit due to this and is LYING TO YOU.
This woman was served with a Cease and Desist Lawsuit. She lives in no where's ville in mid California. She is a Self Proclaimed "STAGE MOM" and we all know that "STAGE MOM'S " are aggressive and crazy.
She also LIED to YOU and said that there are 2 people who posted within minutes of each other and she pretended that she was 2 people. "STAGE MOM'S" are so CRAZY. She LIED to YOU about Tami Erin's Little Brother Todd Klicman who gave an hour to set up her online payment system was somehow accused by this loser.
She LIED to you about the Acting Coach who is a Father of 3 children and is an Actor in TV and Movies for over 25 years. This Father of 3 who is an Actor for 25 years has every right to be a REALTOR also.
The theater that was described as something that has an odor is an outright LIE - if it smelled why would there be people there every day??
This woman's 2 posting's are crazy, aggressive and quirt frankly disgusting.

The woman who filed the 2 comments on the same day has been served a Cease and Desist from our Attorney making her liable for damages.
In addition, both mentions from her on the same day trace back to the computer IP address in Aptos. She clearly had negative intent and deceitfully attempted to make it appear that they are from two people, but both traced back to her.
There are some beneficial points to note. For the past 8 years, since 2003, the Film & TV Academy has been in business with happy clients in 11 entertainment markets within the US including Los Angeles, New York City, Miami, San Francisco, Chicago, Las Vegas, and Dallas. There is also "Tami Erin - The Book" that is a biography written by 3 top writers about the most accomplished people of our time and it catalogues her 20 years of accomplishments and the Hundreds of Thousands of Dollars Ms. Tami Erin has raised as a Humanitarian to help children worldwide. "Tami Erin - The Book" is for sale at Barnes & Nobles, Amazon and many other book sellers worldwide.
