Proscout
To Whom It May Concern:
I was wondering if you have ever heard of Proscout.
I sent in some pics, and they selected me to go to a
big event in January 2003.
I asked some questions pertaining to my actual chances
of getting signed, percentage wise, and the response
was legit.
However, they're asking for a few hundred dollars, and
after telling them I did not have that kind of money,
they offered to make a payment plan.
Why would I want to shell out money for a something
that is not guaranteed, though? Would I be better off
just sending pics to the agencies themselves?
Do you have any information on them?
A.G.
A.,
It sounds as if you already figured it out. You asked, "Why
would I want to shell out money for a something that
is not guaranteed, though?"
Very good question. Why would you want to shell out
for something if the agents have not seen your picture
first and next said they want to see you in person?
Proscout is an expensive Fedex. They can get you seen
by agencies. But apparently they have never heard of
Fedex.
Actually, you don't need Fedex, because the mail is
reliable; you just need the aspiring models starter kit:
stamps, envelopes, agency addresses, and polaroids.
That is for agencies nowhere near you; the ones close
to you should be visited unless they specifically ask
for your pictures.
You should know that unless you look amazing, if you
are nowhere near NY or LA, the chances are slim of them
taking a big financial risk or asking you to move to
where they are and the work is.
