John Robert Powers complaint by Celluloid
Total scam and a thoroughly berrating rude and untruthful "National Director" Jem Wiltshire. I can't stress it enough. Stay Away!!!! My child was accepted then refused because we wanted time to think about it. We were told that because we were not ready to sign that night ($2800 - $5900), Jem didn't know if she would ever have room again for him. She did this right in front of him! Not to mention the fact that she said, and I quote ,"I don't work with skeptical parents!" and she felt that we were "being ridiculous."

He's is now signed with an agent and filming a feature movie. Listen, if your filling out the a form that asks your parent's occupation, that should tell you something. All one needs is your address and where you work to search the net to see if you can pony up the $.

I can't speak for their other locations, but judging from the posts, I suggest you do your research.

My son is a client at John Robert Powers in Parsippany, NJ and I must say that I am surprised by these comments. My son is in the career program and we too paid $5900. However, we are very satisfied with John Robert Powers, their training and their staff. Like any academy, school or business, there have been one ore two scheduling issues, but besides that, I have never had a bad experience. In fact, my son, after training at John Robert Powers has gained a lot of confidence. No one can guarantee that my son is going to be a star and I don't expect them too. But, I am in touch with other parents whose kids are actually auditioning and working in the industry as a result of training with John Robert Powers, Parsippany.

We already gave them $3000 .00 and they did not allow our girl attend the first day class until we pay the rest of $5900.00.I think they don't care about theri students, they just want money
