This is the worst Website I have ever seen for people looking to get into acting.
The listings are mostly items which are freely disclosed via reputable sources or which would be impossible for you to attend due to the vast distance between most users and the actual audition location. (IE a casting call for a one day shoot needing non-union extras to someone like me who lives in Washington. It would cost almost ten times more to travel there and back than I could possibly get for that one day job.)
The site charges for everything except the initial profile setup.
You will receive mysterious e-mails from people you don't know telling you how nice you look and how much talent they thing you have or that they want you to audition for something they're doing in your area (a "national" casting call). If you wish to reply to them, you must pay! The only way to reply is through the Website and you are penalized if you give out your e-mail address or phone number.
There were no positive aspects of my experience with this company. To charge for sending e-mail is a scam. To deliver those mysterious e-mails and then charge to contact the supposed senders to make sure they are real, is a scam. To send you casting notices that anyone can get for free and then charge you for the information on how to apply for them is a scam. To claim that parts are being cast in your area (again, "national" notices) but which are only being cast in a single city like L.A., is a scam. Just because a show is being cast doesn't mean it is a nationwide casting call. That's not how it works. I know. I've been in the industry for nearly 20 years.
If you wish a trustworthy Website to begin your career, don't use this one. In fact, don't use any of the sites on the Internet. Get a real agent. And that means someone who doesn't charge you unless you actually get paid first (and never more than 20%).
Be safe out there!
