You mean now I have to take YOUR acting classes to even audition for a role?!?

Now I'm not saying takeing acting classes are bad, as a matter of fact it's a great thing to take to further your craft. BUT to take acting classes in order to be considered for auditions for major productions and comercials, well my friends that is a WHOLE different story. There is no reason why anyone should "buy their way into an audition in order to be considered for a major audition." It's just wrong. Now this is be going on for sometime for what I understand by some casting agents. Sure the casting agents are our door to opportunity to getting "the gig" but not to pay our way in. All actors should have an equal opportunity to audition for a role have taken that casting director's acting class or not. I would consider this the nice version of the casting couch.
