My Daughter was in the San Francisco Class, after her 3rd Class she was picked by an agent out of Los Angeles that Paid her Full Cost of John Robert Powers For Life. We had her in some workshops in the City too she was chosen there too, we were always told she had a bright future in Acting and one day we'd see her on the Big Screen, but she has moved on to other things Acting wasn't her cup of Tea it might of been a faze for her as her Cousin's were doing it .

This place is a joke
I was probably about 13 or 14 and i entered the jrp world and i was excited i was joining to be a model and learn how to use make up right. Then they had me read a line about pizza and i thought i did okay. Oh you need some practice. So no biggy right. Then they told me modeling was going to be switched to sundays and i was in jrp with my cousin and his was on saturdays. So i decided to join the acting stage. And then they wanted use just for our money. Oh pay for this or pay for that. . Dont ever go here. Ever they are out for your money

Complete *Scam* don’t let anyone get duped like I was.
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.

Tyra's warning
Even tyra banks says if you have to pay money up front to ant agency, that agency is a scam!! I auditioned with John Robert powers on 2006 and then watched an episode of ANTM where Tyra stated not to pay any money up front.

Worked at the Chicago Location- and yea, it's a scam
I worked at this place as a "Talent Agent". It is absolutely a scam from first hand experience. We literally would cold call people and tell them their son or daughter must have filled something out at school. Totally made up. If you can pay, you are in, plain and simple. We worked on all commission since it's a revolving door with the turnover, they knew they could get a few weeks of free labor before you quit. All the reviews saying "it's not an agency! It's a school!". Dude, I worked there, and we were never supposed to be up front about anything. Lie lie lie, sell sell sell. This place is a joke, avoid like the plague

Poor follow through
I enrolled, paid $10k for the "full package", lifetime training and representation throughout ANY and ALL locations... Now the location that originally enrolled me has closed and every location has told me they are franchised and under no obligation to service me and honor my original contract.

THIS IS A SCAM!! April 2017!!!!
Please be aware!!! This is a SCAM!!! We went to the first audition in West Palm Beach they sell the company as a very recognize and serious in the entertainment industry and showed people that supposedly are in recognized networks because of them! Then they said that if they think your child has the potential they will call you for a second audition but THEY CALL EVERYBODY! There's no one on one second audition, that second day they just sell you the package and give you a schedule of the things they'll be teaching in the rehearsals. Personally we sign in our son not to pursue a contract just because we want him to learn and have the experience. The first rehearsal a lot of people showed up, parents were upset because the "coach" was very rude and when I asked my son about what he learned, I went over the schedule with him and he said they didn't do anything, that they were placed in groups to tell each other their monologues and take turns. The "coach" never stand up from the chair to teach them how to act the monologues, and I wonder how are they supposed to learn. Then she gave him (6 year old) an evaluation form to rate her job and of course my son who has no clue what an evaluation is and is not aware of what she's supposed to do in class rate her with a 10 LOL!!! We went to the second rehearsal to give them a 2nd chance, we thought maybe it was too much for the "coach" and she was just not organized so on this second rehearsal 1/2 of the people from the 1st one went. Parents were talking outside and sharing our thoughts and we were afraid that we were BUSTED. I reached out to Vince "the director" who signed the contract with us and nobody responded until I disputed the charge with the credit card. But they finally got out and I didn't get my money back because they responded my claim with lies and of course saying my son rate her with a 10 in the evaluation. People, a took the time to wrote this because I should've listened to the previous review and I wouldn't be in this situation. We couldn't send our son to a different camp because we spent our budget in this. BE AWARE!!! They are located on: 1699 E Woodland Rd. #200 Suite 100 Schamburg, IL

John Robert Powers - Modeling Service Review from Madison, Tennessee
Be on the look out for launch model and talent JRP is behind them now. They'er all scammers. I went in for an a audition with launch talent and model after they call me in for a second audition once I arrived there they were ready for me to sign a payment contract, and I was ask to put in a down payment to hold my spot before I can have my second audition. I went over plans and pricing and If i can read over the contract before signing and I was told no.

John Robert Powers Modeling Classes Review from Antioch, Illinois
John Robert Powers is Amazing! They helped my daughter get signed by 2 agents at the showcase! She started with promotional modeling. She has done voice over work, and has landed 3 commercial print jobs. I was looking them up for my friend and seen all these bad reviews and it makes me sad. I know that not every one makes it but. It has changed our lives. My daughter is paying for her own college and has been able to help me and my wife through hard times. Thank You JRP!

John Robert Powers Modeling School Review from Salt Lake City, Utah
When I was 12 years old I wanted to do some modeling and I did some research for a modeling/acting place in my area: Salt Lake City. I came across there website and told my dad about it and he told me to set an appointment with them. I did and I met this guy at their building and he asked for 1300 upfront and said I was too short for runway but to train for commercials. My dad paid the money and this guy scheduled me to come in every Tuesday and Thursday and one day I was sick and couldn't come in but I came the mext time I was scheduled and they had conepletely UP AND MOVED WITHOUT TELLING ANYONE! We tried calling, leaving voice mails.. Everything. They took our money and left! This place sucks and is a scam I feel I sorry for any poor soul who has falling for this terrible places scam.

Ipop
My 5 years old was just picked to go to ipop 2009 LA. I recieved the packet and the cost is $6,200 for her and $3,100 for the parent. Curious if anyone has taken a 5 year old and if they acheived anything from it? This is alot of money and I'm not sure this is going to be worth it or not. Hopefully someone out there can give me a little feed back if they had a child go to ipop and if they think it is worth it. Thank you so much for any comments. Scared and Worried!
