URGENT ADVICE

Flipper just got a call back for A.C.T. (Academy of Cinema and Television). But it's a pretty costly school/program ---Are they worth the price of admission?

As in Flipper, her child and not Flipper, the dolphin. Just trying to be helpful.

Finish each day and be done with it. You have done what you could. Some blunders and absurdities no doubt crept in; forget them as soon as you can. Tomorrow is a new day; begin it well and serenely and with too high a spirit to be enbered with your old nonsense. ~ Emerson

Thanks shamey, you're a gem.
I am starting to freak out a bit...the damn call back commitment time is only 2 hours and 15 minutes from now.

By the way I still can't quite believe she got a call back in the first place there were over 500 kids there. It's mind blowing.

I almost hate to even suggest it, but have you tried the main board or maybe even the student board?

The main board scares me shamey. Really and truly.

I know. Hey, what about calling local talent agencies or dance schools and seeing if they know anything?

I know nothing- but it's always nice to be asked! Congrats Flipper!

What's the harm in going to the callback? Unless you have to PAY for that, in which case I would say RUN AWAY.
See what happens and do some research.
Is it very expensive?
Is this something SHE wants? (I mean REALLY wants?)

Remember, you should never pay an agent except for commission AFTER they get you a job. I know this is a training program, but be careful of scams. Many are willing to take advantage of people who aspire to be a star! And many are legit, too. Just be wary.

PEACE.

Well it's not an agency -- apparently it's a call back to be part of these classes/workshop-- I'm playing catch up now because I never took the thing seriously. And yes they want money up front. And I am not sure how committed she is...she got this initive in the mail and went to the audition on a whim.

Wait, money up front for the classes or the audition?
How did they get her name? (Which I am SURE she will be changing when she goes pro...

)

PEACE.

apparently for the classes. Not real clear and I won't be the one going to the call back.

Actually her first and middle name only is very hip and cool I coul see her dropping off the last name.

My opinion: not worth the cost. You only pay that much if it gets you serious connections, and the folks at ACT don't have 'em. That's my two cents.
