<DIV>Visionaries,</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>
