Don't be a Moron!
There are many hazards in this world and one of them is trying to get into the field of entertainment and modeling. There are a number of scammers out there and you have to be careful.
We have seen and heard numerous ways people are taken advantage of when trying out for so called auditions and casting calls. Everything from paying the casting personnel a fee to "Train" for the part to posting a call for an opportunity that really is a cover-up to recruit for illicit purposes.
We cannot say this enough! BE CAREFUL! BE DELIGENT! People with shady characters are always thinking up new ways to scam the hopeful. You need to be one step ahead of them. Never trust what a stranger is telling you. Check it out, don't give them your money or personnel information and for heavens sake if your kids are out there, go with them, tell them to be wary as well.
It saddens us to have to continue to write about the dark side, but we feel that you need to be aware and use due diligence when dealing with people who are representing the film and television industry. There is much room for scammers to take advantage.
On the other hand, there are more serious opportunities than bad one's. Many professionals and students of the art need the services of actors, actresses and entertainers. You just need to use common sense and KNOW what it takes to get involved in projects to become a professional.
Read books on the subject and be prepared when you apply for calls. If you are armed with knowledge and a since of wariness you should fare well. If you rush in blindly with your hopes of fame and stardom, then well you might as well paint a big red V on your head for VICTEM.
ExtrasForMovies.com is dedicated to promoting all types and skill levels of people to anyone who is seeking talent for projects. Extras for background, bit players, professional actors, actresses, entertainers, production services and even animal actors get projects from this site.

We have set up this BLOG to get your feedback and comments, please use it to learn or to assist others who want to make it their career.
And most importantly don’t let a Moron make a Moron out of you.
