Boston Movie Extra

Have you ever been in a situation where you are driving and you suddenly hear this ad "Want to be in movies? Major casting agents from WB, MGM, etc, etc are going to be in town...etc, etc" First of all don't pay attention and change the channel!!!!! It is a SCAM! These so called "agencies" are there to pray on "dreamers" with glamour and putting stars in their eyes while blinding people and their parents. They will make you do these way overpriced classes and photoshoots, and who loses in the end is..... YOU! Obviously they always win. The best way to promote yourself in by doing Gureilla Marketing by submitting your headshots to projects and casting agencies. It is much cheaper and it is direct, but please do not get sucked in on these "hotel agencies" scams, you and your wallet will regret it in the end.

Once in a while you drive in your car and you hear an ad saying "Only this Saturday a well respected entertainment agency will be holding auditions for major films and tv shows." So now what happens a bunch of hopefulls jam this hotel function hall where this agency is to hold these "auditions". Truth is they are there for your money. What they will say is something on the lines of this "your good but you should be taking these types of classes we offer and take these types of professional photos we offer. Because you have a Brad Pitt or Sandra Bullock type of talent." So what happens the individuals hear those movie stars names and the next thing they know they are reaching for their credit card. STOP!!!!!! IT'S A SCAM!!!! They use those names as bait to sucker you into take their 6 week basic acting class for $1400 and their "photo shoot" for another $2,000 +! What is the end result....nothing, you still have to battle for roles ju...
