Product Model Management and Take 3 Talent are all SCAMS! They are NOT agencies! They MISLEAD people into thinking that they are, but are NOT. LEGIT Agencies only make money when you do (10% for film/tv and commercials, 20% for commercial print). REAL AGENTS DON'T take $2000 upfront and DON'T make you take their subpar acting classes. YES! You'll be paying at least $2000 for crappy acting classes!

When you get picked up by a LEGIT agency like INNOVATIVE, CESD, SHIRLEY GRANT or others they will teach you or hire coaches. They're not going to reject your resume because "oh, you don't have any acting classes."

If you don't think they're scams, then go waste thousands of dollars.

SCAMS AS PRODUCT MODEL MANAGEMENT still exist because there are a lot of suckers trying to get their kids into acting or modeling for the money. They think that going to pay will be the answer and it's not. It's these scams as Product Model Management give them and feed off of those false promises. For every 100 people that go through these scammy acting classes and lose their money, there will always be that naturally talented kid that gets work and that these scammy places take credit for.

PRODUCT MODEL MANAGEMENT has been known for unethical business practices and really have nothing to do with the real agencies.

Go look reputable agencies up! The ones that are respected by the industry and LEGIT!

Whomever has accused Take 3 Talent as being a scam sound like disgruntled, unknowledgeable asses. My son has been represented by Take 3 Talent for almost 2 years & Natasha, Chelsea & Eddie have NEVER, EVER suggested or 'required' him to pay for any classes....even though he is a newbie. Take 3 has sent him out on so many wonderful auditions & as such, he has booked a commercial & received a few callbacks. My son has improved so much & has had so much fun because of the wonderful opportunities afforded to us by Take 3 Talent. Success does not happen overnight, it is a very gradual process & we are very happy that the patient, kind & always professional team of Take 3 Talent believe in my son & are always available to help him. We are looking forward to future opportunities to grow & succeed as my son continues to flourish thanks to the expert representation & tutelage of the team of Take 3 Talent. Thank you. Devyn&Julian O'Neill .. non employees of Take 3 Talent.

We have been with this agency since 2014 and find them to be very professional. My son is sent on quality auditions and you can't ask for more than that. The rest is up to us .

We have been in contact and knowledgeable about PRODUCT/TAKE 3 TALENT for 6 years now and have nothing, but good things to say about them! First, and foremost- the parents who are saying they were scammed are more or less unknowledgeable when it comes to this industry. You were NOT scammed because you chose to pay ten dollars to send a digital request to an agency (TAKE 3) to have them view your child for potential representation. They get thousands of submissions a week which requires them to hire someone to look through all of these submissions-there is where your ten dollar fee comes into play! Most agencies do not even offer the convenience of online submissions-you would have to know someone to get an appointment or pay hundreds of dollars to attend a showcase with 50/100 other children present! If you do not hear anything back from them in their two week specified period (and I think it states right on the site-we will contact you within two weeks if we are INTERESTED) they simply were not interested in your child~ NO scam about it. I have three children and they have been with different agents-two other BIG NYC agents so I have had experience with model/talent agencies and TAKE 3 really is top notch!

Folks on here with the negative reviews are either feeling slighted in some way because their children didn't get enough casting opportunities or felt some sort of entitlement when their children were given an opportunity by these two agencies but did not see much activity. Well so you know, this is because they weren't chosen by the production companies or didn't fall into a certain demo. Not all ages are as popular and not all looks are as demanding. Take it from a parent of kids working with Take 3 - These negative reviews are without merit and should not be taken seriously. We have been with Take 3 for some time and have never been asked for a dime. If your child makes money, they make money - PERIOD. They work at all hours of the day and we've received last minute go-see calls in the middle of the night. They're always on their A game.



Slandering a company's name will not make the situation any better. Bottom line is that if you're not happy somewhere, take your chances elsewhere. Burning bridges will not make things right and these agencies all know each other so in the long run you will only be harming your child's chances.



Take 3 and its representatives are 5 stars all the way! Keep doing a phenomenal job!

Im a parent, and my experiences were totally fair and honest with Take 3!

I learned about the agency from a friend who's daughter has had a number of great gigs thanks to Take 3. My son was auditioning on a small level for projects though his drama program. He got a few good gigs and almost landed Ryan Gossling film project. I thought may be my son may have something. Went to Take 3, he was signed and they sent him out on many great audition even with out professional head shot. When we went out on auditions we saw all of these great head shots and realized when you represent an agency you must be professional and get the proper photos and that is what we did, we were never pushed! I was pleased and felt well taken care of. They didn't push any photog on me or acting lessons, but Natasha said if you feel frustrated and aren't getting the rolls or call backs may be you need to go and look for acting programs that will help. I found that to be completely reasonable, heck that goes without saying! If acting is what you really want to do then you must work on your craft. We also did model management site and the day after I payed the fee for my son to be apart of the site he landed a gig with Filip phone. The fact is landing a gig falls ultimately on the client. Take 3 can't give you a job, the casting directors do and I understand that. My son hasn't booked anything big, but has gotten call backs which to me says a lot. The work they do isn't easy. They submitt tons of kids I am sure. I remember paying for sites to submit my son for various projects if the casting director doesn't select your photo you don't get audition, it is that simple. It has nothing to do with agency. Don't shoot the messenger. Do your homework go with your gut. Our contract will be up for renewal in the spring. It has been slow for us and if things continue in that route I will not sign I will just let it go unless my son wants it badly. I can honestly say Take 3 gave my son a fair shot! We competed with the best of them for national commercials and many other amazing projects. He got to experience being on set and filming all day and going on a photo shoot. It was fun, fair, and honest!

Overall

I've been signed with Take 3 Talent for almost a year now and I'm really pleased. They have been nothing but kind and supportive, and they've gotten me some fantastic auditions. I've made good relationships with casting directors, and other people of the biz. I've learned a ton and I've been having fun doing it!

Take 3 is a scam

Take 3 talent agency is a SCAM. I had an appointment with them for my 8 years old daughter. We were excited to get her signed. But we have realized very quickly that this company is a SCAM while selling an expensive acting classes not only to my daughter but also 2 of my younger children who were not even there to be signed. Even worse they have insisted that my daughter has to attend a go see for fitting which pays onTly $40 per hour which we were not fine with. Another thing was offering us voice lessons with their vocal coach claiming that the one we currently have is not good. Everything to get more money from us.

TAKE 3 TALENT AGENCY IS A SCAM...

TAKE 3 TALENT AGENCY IS A SCAM. VERY SCUMMY AND DECEIVING COMPANY. Anyone who is rating this company with 5 stars has to be an actual employee of this terrible company. Most of the jobs that they have are completely fake and they just want to scam parents with tunnel vision that their kid is going to be a star. These people are bottom of the barrel scum who troll on sites like this to give their company a better rating. Please do not buy into any of this garbage. My wife was about to waste a lot of money for their acting classes but I convinced her to do a search online before proceeding. These are the type of people who would steal your money even if your child was on the verge of death and you needed that money to save your child's life. They have no remourse for the people they scam and will burn in hell at the day of judgment, stay away from them!
