[NEohioPAL] : Re: Auditions for national booking agency

[L H]

I heard about Wilhelmina scam a few years ago. The agency got into trouble for scamming people. You will not find many agents from New York or LA going to Florida.

If the senior booking agent claims to be from Cleveland, then shame on him/her for scamming the artists of Cleveland. Google Talent Network Company scam and see what pops up. Then add Wilhelmina to the mix and even more scams are uncovered.
Parents, you must think about this...are you willing to relocate to New York or LA right now? These scouting things are geared towards the "pie in the sky" hopefuls who are willing to spend whatever is necessary to "buy" their kid a break in the biz.
Please go to Bizparentz.org or look up discussions on this very company on the Backstage message board. 
I live in NY and my daughter is in the biz. All it takes is the cost of postage to be seen, and the Cleveland/Pittsburgh area is a fantastic training ground for young actors. Focus on working locally with the wonderful opportunities that are presented. It kills me that these companies take advantage of children in this way.
