Barbizon Modeling & Acting Center Options

[*not_your_average*]

I was flipping through Seventeen Magazine when I got to the advertising page. I found an ad for Barbizon Modeling & Acting Centers, and on a whim, I figured I would go to their site. So I went there, and they had a 'contact us' section. I went to the Barbizon Houston site, and I contacted them. I have no professional modeling/acting experience, I definetely don't have model looks, and I'm not very much into clothing or fashion. I emphasized my willingness to try new things and meet new people rather than my looks. If they call me back and I set up an interview with them, I have a very strange feeling I might get turned down because of my looks. But I don't know, though. I think it would be fun and all. What do you guys think?

uh theyre a bunch of crap who just want your money, trust me. they cost a lot, like $1,500 i think it was. and your not even promised any work. i went to tehm and they told me i was beautiful and acted like i was the best looking girl there. but they wanted to charge too much so my mom said no. they ended up getting like $100 from us. i'd never go see them again.

but hey do what you want. dont worry they wont turn you down... they want money

actually..thats how the business works. most of the time you have to pay for classes and stuff.
barbizon is pretty well known in the modeling/acting business so i dont think you ahve to worry about it being a scam, but those schools arent agencies so you wont get work by just taking classes, so dont expect much unless your willing to go out there and meet agents and managers. ive been through this stuff so trust me.
