This company is only looking for money to buy classes, you can buy acting classes for much more cheaper. Not even contacting on the phone. And chris claims that his daughter is bestfriends with a famous actor Millie Bobby Brown. And just showed a photo of them hugging when they could of just met on a meet and greet?

Scam. It seems really legit when first doing the audition… but guess what everyone gets a call back. They just want you to pay money for an over priced class. They tell you that you have to send an email with information on your child. I feel completely violated…… Parents don’t do this…. I even went back in and did another registration today after our audition for a fake child names and with my email. They changed the audition date to a couple days later …. They do this every week multiple times a week and find more people to scam We got a call back for tomorrow and that my child needs to prepare a monologue and I finally did my research on this complany tonight… I feel stupid

This is a money-making marketing scheme only, preying on children's dreams, at vastly inflated costs to parents. Check the small print on their own website which states that Casting Call is NOT a casting, talent or management agency - just a "network marketing business"! This isn't an audition for Disney. You'll be faced with 2hrs+ of being barraged with the sales pitch, whilst your kid is made to stand throughout. Your kid then gets just 50 seconds to deliver a memorised "advert script" & told that only a small proportion will make it through to a 2nd "audition" the following day. SPOILER ALERT: everyone gets through, contacted by text late at night, given just 15mins to reply, & choosing which of 4 "training packages" (which cost up to $10,000!!) you commit to buy! Once I'd researched online and replied to their insistent texts with links to negative reviews and news articles about their scheme, they sent me a barrage of very unprofessional, personally insulting messages. DO YOUR RESEARCH. If you have the money you can buy acting classes and attend showcases in front of actual casting agents for a FRACTION of these costs. Do not give these sharks your money.

Scam! Wasted 3 hours of our day for an audition only then to be asked for money for classes that start @ $1000 don’t waste your time or money!

Very long sales pitch masquerading as an audition. Alarm bells started going off when the 'talent scout' said that most of their emails go into the spam folder. They use children's dreams to hoodwink them and their parents into sitting (no, make that standing or you'll lose 50 points of your 'audition' score) through almost 3 hours of BZ..bull zhit!

SCAM Reading all the previous one star reviews- a very similar experience. Not sure why it’s getting 5 star reviews. A daughter didn’t complete her audition, got thrown out of the room and still made the finalists call back list! Obviously, because they want my money - prices begin at $895! Please do your homework and do not give any money away!!

This is a scam. Do your homework. They rush you around and there is limited time to think. They demand lots of money just for generic acting classes. We did the free audition. They knew what to do to get everyone thinking it was normal to have extremely tight rules like having kids stand for hours without sitting. They flatter the kids and the parents. Page five of their pamphlet is the only page with real information. The rest is fluff. Even then the information is scarce and misleading. When a person’s job is dependent on a lie they will believe it with their whole heart so don’t trust these people even if they seem genuine. Avoid and got to a local acting school for a fraction of the price.

Avoid this company. You will lose your money, get upset and your kid gets excited for nothing.
