Avanti Talent is a scam. Avanti puts on a show twice per year\r
exhibiting their models and talent. They invite talent agents to come view the show to see who might be ""the next one."" \r
\r
Here's how it works. You pay Avanti Talent $850 up front. They then provide five 3 hr. rehearsals over the next three months leading up to showcase where all the talent is exhibited in front of talent scouts/ agents . Hopefully, an agent\r
will be interested in you and offer to sign you on as a client and\r
get you work. They claim that only a very few Avanti students\r
don't get any callbacks. Not true. I know a mom who has a very marketable child, who didn't receive any callbacks. I stayed away from Avanti and elected not to have my child sign\r
up. I'm so glad! Plus, the woman who owns Avanti is terribly\r
rude and unpleasant. She acts as though she is doing you a\r
favor by taking your $850 and allowing you to be in the show.\r
I ran as fast as I could in the opposite direction after the first\r
initial meeting. Also , the place is located in a low rent section\r
of town. It's a dump! Stay away!
