Is "One Source Talent" A Scam?

• I'm only 14 and I went to their website for a interview, they called my house over 10 times to talk to my mom so I acted like I was her the last time they called but now I'm looking at their reviews and its saying its a scam. I don't know what to do, all I want to do is be famous. Someone please give me advice or help me!?

• Answer:

  You won't get famous through One Source Talent or any other talent service as they are not an agency and do not represent models or actors or book them on jobs. They are a paid for talent service that charges upfront and monthly fees. They do not guarantee that anyone will ever get a job - nobody can guarantee that no matter what you pay. You can see what they charge by googling One Source Talent fees The way you can get professional acting jobs is to be signed to an actual AGENCY. You can find legitimate agencies on the SAG and AFTRA websites http://www.sag.org/content/find-agent - choose your city/state from the pulldown at the bottom http://www.aftra.org/1098020CF8E64E9E8017CFA4DDC56BE0.htm You pretty much need to be with a SAG/AFTRA agency if you want to be on tv, film or commercials as these are almost all union productions and only cast through union agencies. And an agency will never charge anything out of pocket. An agency takes a commission AFTER they book you on a job But you can't get into any agency until you have actual training and experience. If you are not even talented enough to get the leading role in a school play you are not talented enough to get a role in a film or television show. You first need to prove yourself locally before you can get an agent. So get out there and audtion for everything you can find in your area - school plays, church group plays, community theatre, etc Here is the BBB review of One Source Talent http://www.la.bbb.org/business-reviews/Talent-Advertisers---Advance-Fee/One-Source-Talent-in-Beverly-Hills-CA-100069816
