Audition Division, LTD Just the Secretary Beware! This co. will solicit you with intentions to sell you photography services only. Bensenville, Illinois

All Agencies require materials to send to casting directors to be considered for a job. ADL uses 5x8 card comps as well as demo reels DVD's to show how workable said talent is and if they are capable to do certain jobs.ADL will use materials from other sources as long as they fit their format. If not ..they wont.Period.

Should someone decide to use ADL to produce the materials They not only will send the parents some sample comps but they even now send the parents the artwork (compcard)and parents can "multilist" their child with other agencies should they want to,which of course will help increase them getting placed. Remember...41 years licensed by the State,,A+ BBB member....Audition Division cant make everyone happy.This is a tough business.

They say there are no Guarantees who picks their kids..its up to the casting peeps. This should be fun..if not dont do it....btw my kid graduated college and cant find a job and Im not upset at the college.Sooner or later she will...I hope.

I want to say that I fell for the for it. They told me that i could get my daughter's comp cards from any where. When I stated that I would the guy John came right back with the statement that my cards would not be accepted by the agencies that they work with. I paid the $594 for the comp cards and the video. I was told that I would receive 20 of the comp cards for myself. 'Til this day February 27, 2013 I have not received any comp cards.

My pictures turned out very good and I'm extremely happy with how the agency worked with me. They showed me samples of other clients pictures and comp's so I could see the quality of their work.

They gave me time to think over if I wanted to participate in their program. Their prices was very competitive and I was told I could get pictures anywhere I wanted, I was not committed to getting them through Audition Division.

The staff was very helpful and put my child at ease at the very first meeting. If you are looking for an agency to work with, I couldn't recommend Audition Division more. It was a wonderful experience. 

As a producer that worked with them for a long time they are licensed,and have been around 40 years!/They tell EVERYONE modeling pics are necessary and you can get them where ever you like.period.Some people work with the agencies people and that is not free...no agency will give FREE materials to a beginner talent. If someone knows an agency that gives free materials to promote their talent let me know,I can send lots of people there

I have done work with the Audition Division for over 20 years.I am a freelance producer shooting pilots and Documentaries.I DO know that they say it the way it is and promise NOTHING.They even offer to help pay for comps and reels for the kids that need the help. On that note...they take it one step furthur and give the talent the composite artwork to help them "multi list" with other agencies.

Parents at times think that their kid should  or is the best of the best at everything they do...ie: sports,music,modeling,etc.HOW ON EARTH CAN ANYONE GUARANTEE that a casting director will pick their kid...they cant.Its a tough business and if you think that you have what it takes just make it fun for the kid.No pressure. Remember... 40 YEARS LICENSED BY THE STATE,MEMBER OF BBB AAA RATING.

These folks are a real deception scam and a rip off! Don't fall for it!! Go to a reasonable local  photographer and have your photos made professionally.

As a producer that has worked with Audition Division's talent for over 20 years and worked with their talent in studio I think what they offer to New talent is great.They have been licensed for close to 40 years.They never guarantee work (how can they) in their contract it states  WE DON'T GUARANTEE.

In their contracts(yes they have contracts..20% of earnings /commission ) it states you can get your pics ANYWHERE you like.So...40 years in business/licensed by the State, can get pics where ever you like,tell you before hand they don't guarantee placement.Yes,they do charge if you have them produce comps/acting reels (should they do it for FREE for a beginner?) but they charge around 1/3 of going rates....again, you DONT have to give them one Penney to rep your child. Bottom line...any Agency you go to will need some kind of materials to show your child to advertisers.
