After going to an audtion for John Robert Powers, I was to speak with a lady by the name Alana the next morning to find out whether or not I made the callbacks. Now..keep in mind my name is JENN. When I called, Alana's first words were "LAUREN, WE WANTED TO LET YOU KNOW HOW MUCH WE LOVED YOU!"...my name is not Lauren. After telling her I was Jenn..she said "ohh right, JENN! We loved you!" hah! She went on for about 15 minutes about how I am ready to be noticed, how beautiful I am, etc. I then asked her how I would go about persuing this. She told me all she would need is $7,000. She said I am ready for the career level..which is why it was $7,000 instead of the $3,000 that I had heard about earlier. I then asked if there was a garuntee of getting a big job. She said no, there is no garuntee. I have read many things about this school being a SCAM..and it really is. So many people have paid this money and gotten nothing out of it except for a knowledge of how to walk down a runway. Give me a break. Plus the fact that they tell you Lucille Ball got famous through their agency. That is a lie. I feel so bad for everyone that takes their young children to these auditions. These children have to much hope and excitement....only because they don't mention that you have to pay these obsurd prices the second you get to the next meeting! This is wrong!

#3 UPDATE EX-employee responds

response to Nick

AUTHOR: Tiffany - (U.S.A.)

POSTED: Saturday, March 29, 2008

You can certainly say you are from MD. But you could also be the Nick from Corporate. Alana worked at Corporate and other places. RP could have sent you out there, or anywhere. Bottom line is that JRP employees, "Directors," etc., are not to be trusted. They will say anything to improve their "bottom line."

Sorry Tif, I never worked for corporate. Im not from L.A. If you can, uh, read, I'm from MD. As far as believing what I say, anyone can feel free to ask any question they wish, and they will get a solid, truthful answer. I have nothing to hide! Thanks.

#1 UPDATE EX-employee responds

JRP Scams

AUTHOR: Tiffany - (U.S.A.)

POSTED: Sunday, February 24, 2008

Ha Ha! I wondered where Alana ended up. Is she there with her boyfriend, Sean, the ex-con? I used to work for JRP in Southern California and know a lot about how they run their business. They are mostly sharks and scam artists. All they care about is transferring money from your pocket to theirs. I've seen postings by Nick as well. I wonder if he is the same Nick that worked at Corporate Headquarters in LA. If so, don't trust anything he says.

Don't believe they look at the "tapes" of the auditions from their seminars. What they really look at is if you have enough income to pay for the classes. They look at the pictures of your children that you bring in to see what kind of house, car, furniture, etc., you have--to see if you have enough money for them to take. JRP is good if you have all kinds of money and don't mind giving it away to people who will let you or your children attend some classes which may or may not be beneficial. I know the people who opened up Bloomington, MN, and Rockville, MD, JRPs. They are liars and have no consciences. They do not care what they do to the people who trust them. I have had first-hand dealings with them (GC and MP--if they use their real names). Alana used to work in several JRPs--mostly in Southern CA. She was part owner in the Pasadena, CA. I guess that went under as well. The owner of the rights to JRP (RP in "Beverly Hills") makes money by selling franchises, setting them up to fail, stealing from them, taking them away, then selling them to some other poor sucker. There may be a few good JRPs out there, but staying away from them altogether is the safest way to be.
