<P>Tim,</P>
<P>This could be my big break, and I'm deeply resentful of your attempt to scare off these fine people who will allow me to escape my humdrum life.</P>
<P>Yes, dammit, with their help I'll be a star. See ya losers later.</P>

<DIV></DIV>>Subject: [Vision2020] Local AWT model/actor "search"--caution
<DIV></DIV>>Date: Tue, 3 Aug 2004 10:44:03 -0700 (PDT)

<DIV></DIV>>Visionaries,
<DIV></DIV>>
<DIV></DIV>> Local commercia radio has been full ads purchased by a company called AWT. AWT will be conducting what they call a model/actor "search" this week.
<DIV></DIV>>
<DIV></DIV>> I believe one session is at Pullman on Thursday and one is in Lewiston tonight or tomorrow.
<DIV></DIV>>
<DIV></DIV>> Be very careful of this sort of model/actor "search." Most are probably aware that modeling/tanning talent searches have a "checkered" reputation at best.
<DIV></DIV>>
<DIV></DIV>> Unfortunately, modeling/actor "searches" have a way of rapidly turning into a request for a large amount of cash for a photography package, representation fees, and etc.
<DIV></DIV>>
<DIV></DIV>> The bottom line is that you should be very suspicious if an agency asks you for money upfront. Legitimate agencies don't charge fees, but take a percentage of your actual earnings instead.
<DIV></DIV>>
<DIV></DIV>> In other words if its legitimate, the agency has a stake in your success not just your money in exchange for a promise.
<DIV></DIV>>
