Is page.713 a scam too? please read.

so about 3 weeks ago i went to page Parke's and interviewed with one of the i guess talent scouts. she told me i have potential but i need to take that camp that's around 1000. I've convinced my parents to let me do it if i pay part of the cost too but I've been reading around here and i found some stuff on google and now I'm thinking it might be better to go take some acting classes at a cheaper place and get some headshots and then submit them to page.713 agency and other houston agencies.





i just want to know if you think this is a good idea or if i should just go ahead and pay the 1000. and also if page.713 is a scam or do they really get you places. please help me thank you.

Well lucky for you I've been through this process already lol. I've taken the class (i assume you're talking about the TVP class) and yeah it is expensive but it gives you formal training to put on your resume and all agents will like that. The class really all inclusive, you get a whole binder full of useful information, a class on skin care (about 1hr), a class on imaging (about 30min.), a class on photoposing (about 2hrs), and what i think is the most important a 3hr acting class (which i learned ALOT from). Plus the next day you get a photoshoot and with that your headshots and a guaranteed AUDITION for the agency. so all of that for a grand is worth it. at least i think so.





Also, only do it if acting is your PASSION! Don't do it if you only want to be an actor to be rich and famous! Because if you pay the money for the class and all you want is millions in return, i can pretty much promise you that you won't get with the agency. I've seen people in my "free classes" (oh btw after you take the TVP class you get free acting and photoposing classes for as long as you want) that did the TVP class, auditioned for the agency and DID NOT get in. So be sure your heart is in it! And be serious b/c a grand is serious cash right?





Anyway, to sum it up take the class (if you truly want to be a pro actor) because it is definitely worth it. I did it and got with the agency and its NOT a scam...people are just cheap and expect a whole lot of something for a whole lot of nothing, ya know?


Hope i helped!
