This company is a management company... or at least this it what they say that they are. Make sure you read the contract which states if they find you an Agent their contract will automatically extend from 1 year to the length of the Agents contract. Also they tell you that they need you to get head shots from their photographer and the cost is $850 which is a joke professional head shots according to my daughters agent in Beverly Hills shouldn't run more than $250. They call you and push you every week to make sure you get your payment in to get those photos done ASAP. I fell for this and paid the $850 my daughters photos were awful she had stuff all over her face and the lighting was awful. The hair dresser was even an hour late. He offered to redo the photos after me giving him a hard time for weeks but found out that he was no longer using the same photographer and that I would have to pay another $250 to get new ones done.. Funny seemed to me like that was the actual cost of the photographer. I ended up finding an Agent for my daughter on my own thank God because otherwise I would still have to deal with these people. They say they are offering FREE modeling and Acting classes which are also a JOKE. I think the part of the $850 is for those FREE classes that they offer. The only thing this company does is host a meet and greet every other Saturday so that you can find an Agent in the hopes that they get to tag along to that new contract and make their 10 to 15% for doing absolutely nothing but collect money.

Can't trust

AUTHOR: Joey - (United States)

POSTED: Sunday, October 21, 2018

 I found Trent James on the internet with this I Talent Managment. I submitted my recent headshot to him online and recieved an email back saying they wanted me to come in for an audition. I showed up and read a commercial lines and he had his assistant record me in another room I went through the lines several times till he said I was done. I then went back into the room where T.J. was and i showed him my headshots. The headshots I purchase coat me 300 dollars in a photo shoot with a guy in Glendale, Ca. The paper i had it on were glossy. He then said that he wanted to sign me and to come back the next day. He then asked about my headshot and staryed recommending i get new ones. Instantly i knew he was up to know good. I also told him i had a disc with a bunch of headshots from the shoot i did previously before meeting him. The next day I showed up 30 minutes early because I learned in the army to never be late and I was brand new to the business.

I showed up and he was suprised how early I was and had me sit down on the couch while T.J. was talking to a young girl. I listened to the conversation and she said can I pay with my credit card instantly I knew it may be a scam. So when the girl was done and leaving i told the guy to hold on and i went out of the room to talk to her. I told her I looked the guy up on the internet and it says something about hom being a scam artist. I exchanged numbers with the girl and T.J. came out to see what we were doing. At that time I was done. I then went back in the room with T.J. he sat down and said do you see this guy I said yes and he said this is a disney star I represent. He then said he talked to and agent and that they wanted to sign me. I was thonking in my head this is way to good to be true.

So i listened then he asked if i had the cd with my headshot. I said oops i left it in the car. He then told me that i would need new headshots and showed me a piece of paper with the prices being in the 1,000 dollars range... I paid 300 for really good ones, multiple outfits that i brought, multiple locations and the guy even touched up some of my shots the ones I chose for him to do. All for 300! So I knew he was trying to scam me. He asked if Itook acting lessons i said yes in studio city which was about an hour away. He then told me I could take classes with him which would save me gass money for the drive. I then decided to confront him on being a fake and scam artist he got mad but I was not scared since I was muscly at the time. I told him I didn't want to sign and I left. Below is my Imdb account and be careful of people trying to get money from you do research and if its to good to be true do research. Be careful m .imdb . com / name/nm4072784/
