ACTORS Stop falling for scams

Stop Falling for Scams.
Have you fallen for those expensive showcase companies? Spent thousands of dollars and still have n acting career. I know you have and I am sorry. So sorry that people have taken advantage of you It breaks my heart.
The TRUTH is there is no such thing as overnight success in the acting business. No such thing.
The FACT is you have to become a GOOD actor if you want to compete and book Television & Film roles you see in the theater. The people on TV & in the Movies KNOW how to act. They trained their assess off to get good.
Learning how to act takes TIME. It also takes training with great acting teachers not amateurs. So invest in your training.
Signing with an agent or manager does not give you an acting career.
For the love of GOD...Do NOT pay for $5,000 - $10,000 for these showcase companies to "meet agents and managers." You are WASTING your money. Agents and managers who re actors for TV & Film are looking for well-trained actors who have experience working in student films, short films, feature films, webseries, voice over and CAN ACT.
Actors often start their careers in Commercials and you do not need to spend money at showcases to get a commercial agent - you can follow the instructions on their websites and submit to them for FREE. You need a Casting Networks profile with a few happy professional photos in a dressy outfit, a casual outfit, a sporty outfit and if you are biker, or cross dresser - look like that. That is enough to get started.
FOR TV & FILM You need Actors Access and Casting Networks profiles to submit yourself on. And your profiles need to be outstanding. These showcase companies will not even tell you about them - but THAT is what agents and managers actually need from you. Without them there is nothing we are going to do for you.
If you REALLY want to be an actor on TV and Film learn what you really need to do. Take 90 minutes and watch the 90- Minute video I recorded explaining the "10 Steps To Start Your Acting Career From Scratch." After watching this you will know exactly how to start.
WATCH it here BEFORE you spend 1 penny at those showcase companies.

Very admirable for you to speak out about these showcases, Ms. Wright! When we were kids, my brother and I tried out for something like this - the open audition was free, but then you had to pay $500 if you were called back. We were at the audition, then "won" a callback, but we didn't fall for it. Someone attending the open audition actually spoke out to the crowd and said the whole thing was a rip-off. At the time, the host tried to explain it away as a disgruntled heckler, but it made the whole thing suspicious. As you teach repeatedly, you should not have to pay to audition!

[@missmack2328]

I’ve went to a few of these showcases before and it’s exactly what you said. They were too busy trying to order food & party later than to even care about us giving them our headshots.😢

[@wendyalane1]

Shameful places.

[@pitpride1220]

One would do better as an actor, to take that 5-10k if you have it. Do your research, find a low or micro budget production that needs funding. One that you're interested in being a part of. Use that money to invest in that film. If your conversations go well. You'll get to see the whole process. You'll also be in a position to get a role in that film. You can get producer credit. It's on your resume, you get more set experience. That's just one option. $5-10k is also enough to do a mini web series or a short yourself. You'll have to be very creative. But your money would be much better spent doing those things, than one of these scam programs she is warning you about.

[@wendyalane1]

Absolutely. And they don’t even need to spend the whole time they can spend $5000 on a film and $5000 on classes, clips, headshots and profiles. But I’m a firm believer. They need to come through Hollywood Winners Circle Academy with me because people don’t understand how to take head shots with emotion, they don’t understand you’re acting clips need to be very specific and really feature them in the clip not everybody else.

[@daniellemaroney2931]

I just came back from the Folsom Talent Connection today in Sacramento CA who just sold me what you are talking about for $4,900.00 at the Sheraton Hotel in LA. And that's not including airfair, room and meals. Thank you Wendy, I will block them.

[@billie_24]

Thank you Wendy, from bringing this on light…well done for being honest…you are power house . Be careful … from (Hey Hollywood here we come)… whoever this is reading… I’m one off the luckiest.

[@wendyalane1]

You’re welcome from the bottom of my heart

[@MK-Creator]

Thanks for sharing this thoughts and insights!

[@kiranmocherla9277]

Thank you. I wish I have seen this video few days back 😢.

[@Annbakermodel]

Been there! It felt so false from the git go that I did walk out. I cab’t speak for anyone else, but for me, I do not want an ego brush. I want good feedback and honest opportunities. And..if I need more experience or training, then tell me! It was a waste of time, but not really. No experience is wasted if you see the lesson. Appreciate your addressing this matter.

[@iSoaring]

Hi Wendy, my name is Francisco. NY-based actor here. Uhm so for NY specifically Nine9 have definitely been scamming people. I went to an event they had before.. i also tried to get an interview with them and they were telling us about packages and stuff like that for about $500? People were sharing that they paid the money and never heard from them again. I went to an agency call back later in life with an industry professional agent named Shirely Adunni Faison. Great lady btw. But yeah.

[@Fashionpreneurondemand]

i was literally just contacted via email by some company called discovery and i attended this large zoom call to audition. And i was the first oone to audition and i was very Excited ! and i did excellent with my commercial audition. Then i get a text hours laters stating congrats youve been selected to attend our workshop in northcrolina tro present yourself in front of other agents for like $800 plus and no travel is included in the price. seem like a gimmik and i wasnt sold.

[@th3bestedits]

I truly admire the dedication you have to this channel and helping beginning actors get to where they want to be in life. But if I live in Kansas, have no money, no transportation, my mom doesn't even know I'm serious about being an actor..even i somehow found a way to pay for acting classes and casting networks, it seems impossible I would be able to make to make it even close to a film set. Do you have any advice for me?

[@Romeox7x]

This gave me flash backs. Pro Scout came to mind when watching. went to an event of theirs. and the price they wanted for me to go to the event was $750 dollars. and I also had to get money to stay at the hotel they were at in Chicago. Fortunately I didn't go. but I was desperately trying to back then, but something kept coming up and kept interfering with it. so glad I didn't fall for this. reading lots of books and been in acting classes.

[@nikkikruz8458]

[@mrballoonpimp]

[@wendyalane1]

Telling the truth. Thanks for watching xoxo

[@mrballoonpimp]

@@wendyalane1 And the truth will set you free!

[@thewarriorsgarden6316]

Is there any reliable place in Oklahoma to audition for acting?

[@re7416]

Gratitude is important. It's to do with Karma. U asked a question. 'KazinaTheArtist' answered it 4 u. PLUS!! gave u resources. And not a SQUEAK from you 😲 ● Go back and say 'Thank You' ● PLUS give up while ur behind. Work on bring an appreciative, socially-mannered human being. When u've mastered that...the acting will follow.

[@jeremyfreeman87]

Have you heard anything positive or negative from the PMTM agency? Asking for a friend...lol

[@re7416]

(🤫 Clue) Google...(or Trust Pilot)...r ur friends.
