I worked for Explortalent.com for 6 weeks. The jobs are fake, the testimonials are paid actors and the owner sits in the Philippines nurturing his drug habits. There is no head quarter in Las Vegas. It's only a P. O. box address. No Americans are working for him. All agents are in the Philippines and Mexico. He is an evil man. Opening and closing offices on a monthly basis and not paying the employees. Don't sign up with them. Take my word for it. When I found out what was going on I quit immediately. He's a con man and Explore talent.com is a fraud.
This company is a huge scam I no longer wanted to worth with them because it taken them forever to get me a role also the lady I worked with wanted me to do the vip membership but never called didn't help me with my resume nothing then I wanted a refund within time I still yet have seen my 199$ that they owe there lucky I don't sue them this company is bs
Confused as in why I have submitted hundreds of applications but none really get back to me. I fell for the text about landing a Hollister commercial so I signed up for the $116 plan for 6 months. Never heard anything else about the hollister commercial. I was busy when I called them and mistakenly didn't look them up when I was signing up.
Sign up for ActorsAccess or Backstage if you want to book real jobs! :)
Honestly, if you read this just don't waste your time. This people are making so much money for nothing is ridiculous... They are taking listings from pages like Backstage (an actual casting website) and putting them in their site without the casting director even knowing about it. Do your research when looking for casting sites... and if there's so many SCAM alerts, it must be one.
How did explore talent get my child's picture & name? We do not consent! The profile is fake. We have never even been in USA. Intercontinental identity theft?
Tip for consumers:
Legal action

They stole my child's name and photo!
If you can't read this headline... then go ahead and pay your hard working money to individuals agents who can't even speak proper English. No legit agency or agent will ever charge. They are not even SAG franchised for you that doesn't know what that means meaning. They are not legit only sag franchised companies can do what they do and non union work. But just non union is all bull$#*!
I did my own commercials and sent it to the agents when I was notified by ET and I tried out for everything and NEVER got a response from anyone. Very frustrating to be ignored after I put forth so much effort, time and money into everything I sent them. No one got back to me, no one at all!
Legitimate modeling agencies will NEVER EVER ask you for one dime! Their job is to find you work and then take a percentage. Modeling agents usually take10-20% and Acting agents take 10% of the gross earnings for a project. Btw, Modeling and Acting agents DO NOT give acting/modeling classes, or take photos for your portfolio! Please do NOT fall prey to this deceptive business practice! YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED.

Did a 7 day for 2 dollars on some casting that my daughter got an email for, still not sure when the profile was made. They then charged 188.00 for a memberrship that we did not want. Not only is this an outrageous price, not even close to Actors Access, Backstage, or LA casting all that are 120 and under for a yearly price. They apparently have in small writing terms and conditions for this and charge regardless if you want the service. I would give this a negative if I could. Bad business and over priced.
I made an account 9 months ago they just started sending me text messages saying I have been matched for an audition. As soon as I called they asked me to pay them over $100, and said they believe that if I don't pay or invent in myself I am not serious... they also asked for my debit card information which was supper sus. Then as I did research I found out they are gold diggers who only want your money. On the phone call they didn't really listen to what I had to say and called me disrespectfully for denying to give them my card information... don't fall for this company they just wanna scam you and it's no good to you at ALL!
A very nice and quick customer service. People are really professional and well qualified with the work they do. All the questions I have asked have been answered. Highly recommend!
I get all kind of text messages from casting directors saying you matched for a commercial paying $5,000 and give a number to call. Find out its a phone rep for explore talent telling me I'm matched with so many great money making jobs and they can submit my profile but I have to sign up with the pro for casting director to respond back to me. I told her I don't have the money and she said your going to miss out on this opportunity an she kept asking me which one I wanted to sign up with I told her again I don't have the money then she says its only $100 your going to make so much more doing the commercial. Big game play. Didn't get me though. If someone wants me for their commercial I'm not going to pay them. No thanks!
Dreams do come true! Never thought I'd be where I am right now in my theatre career. Thanks to Explore talent for providing me a better future, without you guys, I'd be lost and maybe continue to chase my dream. Thank you very much!"
At first, I talked to a man named William and he was very convincing. He made me believe I had a forever 21 modeling opportunity waiting for me. But I needed to pay. It jut doesn't add up. If we have the talent. They should want us more than we want them. Really got my hopes up when I first saw the ad. Later that night when I was supposed to call him back, I talked with my dad. Luckily he gave me the idea to look at the reviews and that's why I'm here. After seeing what everyone else had to say. I never called him back. I don't recommend this at all. It's a scam!
I was on this site for 6 months and didnt land any gig they give u nonsence... gigs that no bodys wants to be apart of if your looking to be in a real movie
DONT USE EXPLORE TALENT!
You submit your information, they call you saying you're matched for Forever 21, Uber commercials, and whoever the hell else. Doesn't mean anything this is Explore Talent telling you they think you'd match...
When on the phone with a representative i told her i wanted to do a month by month service because i couldn't pay for a year or 6 months in advance. The b***h tells me "Well i don't have time for anybody who's not serious about this business" so of course i had choice words after that.
Last but not least... they will start sending you messages stating that "Casting Directors are trying to contact you" just to get you to sign back up if you've canceled your "premium". I paid for a month, i signed in, the casting director never hit me back. This was same day..
They called and texted me telling me that i was personally asked to work with Keanu Reeves in the new Matrix 4 movie. I don't even remember signing up for the website. As I was on the phone with my "talent advisor" I searched the name and saw all the bad reviews. The first thing that pops up on google when you search the name is "Explore Talent Scam". I told them I didn't want to pay for a membership and that's when she said the only way to be considered for the position is to upgrade and that's when I knew it was fake. Good try though. If I were anyone else I might have fallen for it but I'm smarter than that. Don't fall for any tricks and stay safe out there! :)
Promised my son, that he had roles lined up now, and all i had to do was pay the money to make $500. I told the lady me and my son was homeless and i only had a little bit of money. She said you won't be homeless for long, cause your son is going to be booked and busy. Took the money never heard from them again. Don't believe email me at *******@gmail.com and I will explain to you how they are scammers and should be reported and jailed! Hurricane victims stay away!
This really is a SCAM people. Look at all the 4-5 star reviews. Each one of those, if you click on the name, only has 1 review. Some of these answers don't even make sense. Don't say we didn't warn you. I bet after my post goes up, they'll have a new comment with 4 or 5 stars, talking about how they got a role within a couple days or a weeks time.
I reached back when I seen the voice mail and I talked with the someone to help me with getting jobs and they asked for credit card which I felt kinda funny about. And my bank sent me a message now I had to get another card.
I don't suggest unless you want your Bank card in risk.
You pay to get a paying job yea no. There are much better agencies that will help you for free. I kept getting phone calls from explore talent to buy premium for about 450$. They said I had auditions offered Just need to pay and I'll get in contact with the director. Wtf I'm gonna pay you guys to find a cheap paying job if that's even worth getting. Oh BTW I have a app that tells me where the phone calls come from. A couple from India and China and occasionally europe.
