I too, was duped... Well, both my mother and I.

Never pay money up front y’all. An “agent” will only get paid when you get gigs, as it were. First, I gave JRP hundreds of dollars just to sign up {They let anyone sign up. BTW.} Which, I understand they need some money to keep the school running.

But it shouldn’t cost that much. My school had to be using that money for something else ‘cause the inside looked horrible. It almost looked like a fixer•upper w/o it being fixed. Second, came the life•time membership.

We thought, ‘Oh sure! Sounds like a good idea. I don’t have any other options here.’ That was about $1,000... I think.

Teachers were teaching things they had no clue or experience in/about. Third classes were never a set time or day. You would just walk in and they’d stick you in wherever most students were. Now comes the IMTA part.

Doesn’t matter when you joined JRP. As long as you’re able or want to pay the fee, they will pitch anything they think you would go for. I payed about $5,000 thinking I’d have a much better chance to be discovered. They picked a horrible headshot and photos for my zed card.

When I got the negatives and looked through them, I found so many other photos that were so much better than the ones they used. Our teacher chaperone told me, *After* coming home, that ‘I probably didn’t get any call backs because my headshot made me look Hispanic and when the agents saw me they didn’t expect me to be some white girl.’ We get home and I still returned to go to classes {As if it would have changed. LTM} Then they tried to get me interested in going to Paris because they knew I’d be perfect there. We said no thanks!

I would have spent way more to go there than I would have in Cali. So many other things I could be pissed about. How much money I put myself into. How hard I worked for it all.

That being said, go look for auditions on your own.

Sometimes even being an extra in a scene they will pay you, keyword *Sometimes* I hope all of this helps anyone. Saving you from being scammed.
