Would you like a beware? Talent 6 Sucks!?

I am sooo pissed. I deleted my account a long time ago but they still let you on there with a profile for free, you just can't send emails. I got an offer for a job and couldn't respond so I decided to fork the 20 bucks again one more time. (The contact left no other way to reach him except through talent 6). When I tried over the weekend a pop up window appeared that said I would have to call talent 6 during regular business hours to re-activate my account. Later, I decided to back out on the deal and NEVER CALLED. My credit card to my surprise was charged however. I called the 800 number to tell them this and this operator told me I was lying that their pop ups never say that b/c as soon as you click the button to reactivate your account it automatically charges your card and reactivates your account. I know this isn't true b/c I remember being frustrated having to wait an entire weekend to respond to a message I received and I also distinctively remember what the pop up window said.

Glad you figured it out but sorry it took all that to do it.





Legit sites:


http://actorsaccess.com/


http://www.backstage.com/bso/index.jsp


http://lacasting.com/la_home.asp





On actorsaccess it's free to set up an account but $2.00 to submit on each job electronically (nothing if you do it yourself through the mail). The best deal IF you live in an area where there are a lot of opportunities is to subscribe to Showfax $68 for the year which gives you free submissions for the year on AA and access to sides on Showfax. Really, it's the best deal around.





Backstage will let you search for free but to see the full casting notice you have to subscribe so I would search and see if they have anything in your area. If not, they still have good info online and no need to subscribe.





LAcasting - real casting info, but kinda pricey in my opinion. Many people use them and have a lot of success particularly with commercial castings. They just charge a LOT to change pictures,etc.





good luck,


Marianne

This truly sounds like a scam company - make sure and call your card company,dispute the charges,get your money back and make sure they can nvere charge your account again.
