I signed with Urban Talent, regrettably. I traveled all the way out of state for an interview which they talked up to seem legit. After talking so so much about my potential and talking their company up, making false statements about their true demeanor, they wanted me to sign a contract. I was very hesitant and told this woman (Baylee?) I could not afford the payments, she then proceeded to another room, and tried to negotiate with a lower payment, as I STILL denied and explained that I'm in school still, she lowered the payment once more , pushing and pushing, trying to convince me that it's only ($75 a month) and that my parents can pay, also guaranteeing that I will make my money back quickly. I regrettably signed. As the months went on , I tried to apply for all the jobs I could, to no avail. I tried to negotiate and cancel my payment with them, also to no avail. They refused to cancel the contract, eventually sending me into collections, stress, and worry. I am very upset, as the promises made by Urban Talents' representative could not be kept. Now I sit with worry, wondering if I will ever survive this debt.

I dont understand how people are claiming this is a rip off. If you signed up for a class in college and had to pay the tuition, buy the books, and materials would you say that college was just a scam? This is the same situation. you are not paying for them to be your agent they get a percentage of your jobs. That is their payment. Your paying for education and knowledge in the industry threw their workshops. I personally have signed with Urban Talent Management and I know that Camilla Has been nothing but awesome and professional. Tina was immediately actively looking for castings for me. I am looking forward to my new college.
