I also took my 3 children to the audition, photoshoot, and talent show paid 100 for both my girls and L.A sponsered my boy. I was a bit nervous about paying and had the idea that they shouldnt charge but Idid it anyway, a month later i received a phone call said both my girls made it and got a contract but yes they do need the cards to be sent of with the contract its 70 dollars for black and 70 for color so for each of my girls Id be paying 140.00 BUT just a couple weeks ago i recieved the contract 4 my boy so its 140 times 3...now i know its alot but i dont find it to be a scam cuz i can take and make the business cards anywhere i want they only give me an option there they also mention a discount for multiple children AND if u want a spot in television then you must show ur interest...but because i had that feeling of thinking it was a scam i took my girls to another audition in a different company if i thought 100 for photos was expensive OMG this company charged me 1, 850.00 for each to train them for the real thing plus photos. now this wasnt a scam either but because they do most of the work like finding producers that is the charge...and i didnt di irt BECAUSE OF MONEY ISSUES!!! but if i had the cash i would in a heart beat...but because they charge you a fee it doesnt mean its a scam you need to READ THE FINE PRINT OR THE WHOLE CONTRACT because if it was a scam they wouldnt be around.
