  I went through the auditioning prosses and it was a great experience for me. I met mainly with ****** ***** and he was absolutely outstanding. He had great personality, super easy to connect with, very professional, and on top of that he is extremely motivational and able to recognize and work with true talent when he sees it and trust me if you have it he'll see it. ! ****** is AWSOMEEEEEEE!

  I graduated in November of 2022 from the 60 hour virtual training program and essentially wasted $2500. Please do not make the same mistake I did. JC sells this program by first introducing highly successful people in the industry giving you a false sense of hope. They tell you this program will give you the tools to find work in the industry. It's all fake. First off, the successful people involved with JC did not achieve their success just by doing this 60 hour course. No, they most likely have a BFA in acting from a reputable performing arts conservatory. This course does not give you the tools for entering the industry. No 60 hour virtual zoom class could! It takes years and years, decades to develop the skills necessary to act on a professional stage or set. The industry is saturated with graduates of ********, ****** ******** ******** ******** etc. So if all you have is this JC certificate you won't find any work period. The course is 30 two hour zoom classes. You meet once a week. 60 hours may sound like a long time to some but if you think about it, that is about a week and a half of acting training at any performing arts conservatory in the US. Most of the instructors don't know a thing about acting/modeling nor do they know how to teach the garbage material or use any of the technology JC provides them. There is no stage or on set training. The photo shoots are a joke. You go to a hotel and either the shoot is inside a small conference room with poor lighting and none of the essential equipment used at any professional photo shoot or the shoot is outside where you are literally leaning up against the side of the hotel near the front door. The photographer has a camera and a computer, that is about it. I literally can take better pics with my IPhone. It's $80 per photo shoot and if you have to reschedule they don't refund your money. You have to pay another $80! Lastly, the director didn't sign the certificate of completion.

  ****** their Director was very unpleasant and gaslit me the entire conversation when I said I was not interested in taking the classes. It was never clear what the audition was even for. I tried to cancel my second appointment but no one would answer, so I did it anyway. The conversation with the interviewer ****** was actually nice, she made me feel understood. However, I was not interested in paying for classes and didn’t realize that’s mainly what they offer. I said sorry I don’t think this is the right place for me and ****** hung up on me after making me feel terrible for not accepting “all the marketing work” she’s already done for me in the 2 days since our first conversation. My day was ruined after talking with her, my feelings were hurt. I get it the industry can be hardcore, but for a business that claims to teach professionalism, I saw none of that in my final call with ******.

  I feel like I signed my life over I did research to find that I made a huge mistake *********** has the worst reputation I have ever seen My confidence is the lowest it has ever been It looks like banks dont do charge backs or reserve payments for a company that dont honor their refund policy I want to know how to recover my money back and not feel like a victim I am homeless and dont have transportation This was suppose to be an investment on myself to improve my life They targeted someone like me who has battled mental illness suicide attempts and health issues. I sent the certified letter and I called my card company asked for a dispute but I dont feel confident Ill get my money back by so many horrible reviews. How is it possible for them to keep your money if you dont attend their classes which are offered online. They are actors and they rushed me not only did they lie they took advantage of my interest of getting a certificate to build a portfolio. Always follow your gut I didnt follow mines and I feel stupid like Im alive to just be a fool. I am depressed I need help.

  I can't really say how disappointed I am that I went with this agency. I ended up signing with them, paid 2,600 in full at signing. I suffer from ulcerative colitis and started missing classes. I stayed in a flare up with my condition so decided to withdrawal. I sent a withdrawal letter as it said to. I was only able to do 7-8 classes. Received no make-up brushes, no photo shoot. And now my agent ******* ******** is ignoring me entirely when I ask him about getting a refund. I understand paying for registration, I also understand paying for the classes I have taken. However, to just take that much money from a single mom of 3. That is just absolutely awful. If you are interested in modeling, I encourage you to go elsewhere. Do your research. If I had stumbled upon these reviews before I signed, believe me I wouldn't have. So I suppose this is just a very expensive lesson learned unless I decide to take them to small claims. I fully read the agreement, and there is no reason why I wouldn't be entitled to atleast some of my money back. All I can really say is, if something seems off it almost always is.

  The representatives lie about what the contract actually states to get you to sign up. They claimed to issue refunds on the phone, but dont and you still end up paying more. Very disappointed.
