Prestige Talent LA has been hosting auditions for children across Europe, announcing that they are casting for Netflix, Disney and so on.
When you get to the audition, you realize they are not agents and that Netflix, Disney and alike, are merely referred because a handful of kids that appeared in these shows had been, allegedly, their clients.
Also, they show a flashy video advertising iPop, an event in LA where the kids would meet 100+ agents and guaranteed to get a contract. It is mentioned that they would be choosing the top 15 to move forward.
End of the day, late night, I receive a message stating that my kid was selected - I got the feeling all kids were. I also received a message with a brochure on the options in terms of programs. SO my selected kid would need to pay USD6000 to attend iPop - so why only 15 if I would be paying for the iPOP, international travel, accommodation for a week, etc. There were two other alternatives for a shorter program with one of Prestige guys and an online option. All expensive.
I reached out to Bridgett - the lady leading the audition - and mentioned that according to the online reviews that I should have read beforehand - this was a scam - and, even if not, it was not professional to get these kids hopes high then to break the news that the parents have to pay a lot for them to move on and have the parents in a difficult position and the kids disappointed. SO I was not moving forward and not even meeting them.
Bridgett insisted to have a call and asked me for her report card so she could get her partner, Mark, to approve a scholarship. Strange already. Later she called me and said that the scholarship was approved and as soon as they would get to US (they were about to take a flight) she would send the paperwork.
Never heard back from them.
Sent a reminder weeks later. Read and no reply.
In the end, informed that their silence just confirms the overall opinion and reviews on the www.
Sad people!

Scam company. You don't need to drink snake oil to know a snake oil salesman. Study privately, get on platforms such as LA Casting, actors access or backstage. You don't need these blood sucker type "companies".

No, we all know exactly what your company does. If you would like additional proof., I am more than happy to file claims in your local court. I have full discovery of how you people work. Do us all a favor. Stop putting yourself out as a legitimate company.
As an entertainment professional for 40 years I have seen companies like you break young peoples dreams. I also am in possession of two horrific contracts requesting over $3000. 00 that you offered to young people of which you could never deliver what you promised. As a person that is extremely financially sound, I have no problem escalating the situation to expose you for who you are. Don't tempt me. How do you spell fraud? With a capital F.

My daughter did this program last summer instead of a summer camp. She enjoyed the virtual acting classes and then we performed the showcase in Las Vegas. Made a road trip out of it, had a blast. My daughter received a "call back" from an agent, however despite my submitting per the instructions repeatedly we received absolutely no response, nor could we get any support or contact from Prestige. Pretty much once the showcase was over all contact/support was dropped. So for a summer camp everything was good enough. For an opportunity, a potential job or a professional acting program, this is a waste.

Note: The agents at the showcase... One was a local talent agent (we were out of state), one was a model agent and the third was an agent looking to pick up participants for another more expensive showcase (talking thousands). So it was a very limited offering if your student only did one of the programs.

We've had a wonderful experience with Prestige Talent. Bridgett, Mark, Coach Cat and the whole crew were just amazing to work with. They really take their time to answer every question and is there with us every step of the way. We enjoyed working with them so much. Our daughter learned so much in those couple of weeks working with the coaches. This is an amazing company!

Prestige Talent really goes above and beyond. My son has had nothing but the best experience working with Mark and Bridgett! My expectations were definitely surpassed. They have given him the confidence he needs to excel in his modeling and acting career! He is on 2 agents call back list because of Prestige Talent! They did exactly what they said they would do! I can't thank them enough and I know My son will never forget his experience with Prestige Talent!

We were so blessed by our experience at Prestige Talent! Coach Cat is amazing and created custom audition pieces for both of my boys based on their interests and personalities. Bridgett and Mark generously invested in our family using their industry experience and knowledge. They loved our family well through feedback, answering questions, and setting us up for a successful Showcase. The confidence and courage my boys have after this experience is a gift! Thank you for making this experience possible.

My son had no background or experience in acting and model when I enrolled him in Prestige. However, Bridgett, Mark, and Coach Cat supported him build his confidence through their continuance encouragement and guidance. Greater opportunities await him because he loves everything acting and modelling!

We have had a great experience with this company doing zoom classes with awesome instructors and talented kids! The directors of Prestige are very organized and responsive. The IPOP we attended with Prestige was a premier and life-changing experience to get to perform in front of so many people! My son is in the process of getting signed by an agency-so the time, effort, and money is worth it! We needed to learn things before auditioning for agencies that Prestige teaches the children I wouldn't have known to teach him. Thank you so much!

I signed my son up with Prestige Talents amd couldnt be happier. Bridgett and Mark were very helpful and always took the time to reply to all messages and answered any question's I had. Coach Cat was amazing and worked so well with all the kids my son looked forward to his class with Coach Cat every week. My son gained self esteem and confidence during this program and when the show case came around Bridgett and Mark worked with the kids so well they all did an amazing job on stage and had so much fun doing it. My son left his show case on cloud 9 and couldnt stop telling me
And the family how much fun he had and was so proud of himself and could wait to preform infront of all his friends and teachers and our whole family. I would highly recommend to any parent looking to start the child/children in the entertainment industry they give all tools your child will need and they treat you and you child/children as if you were there own family.

We are happy and satisfied with the services provided by Mark, Bridgett and Coach Cat at Prestige Talent! They've created such an open and welcoming environment for children to learn "what to do" and "what not to do" in this business of acting and modeling. Everything has been professional in every way! My daughter who is 12 years old, enjoyed each of her in person workshops and always came out learning something new. The Hollywood agent showcase was a success and we received callbacks from both agents already. We're looking forward to this journey and the opportunities it leads to. If you're looking into getting your child into modeling and acting, then Prestige Talent is your first step.
