I am sorry that you feel that way. But honestly Talent6 doesn't ask you to pay to be a movie extra. Even on the website itself under every casting call it explains that if a casting director or producer asks you for money don't do it. Your are paying a one time lifetime fee of $45 to have a professional portfolio on their site. So instead of wasting time, gas and money dropping of your portfolio from movie to movie they give you the ease of sending it directly to the casting director electronically. I understand where your coming from. If i went online and seen bad press about a company i would be taken back too, but that also means that i would never shop anywhere, because every company can't make every single person happy. They have been in California for over 5 years now and California wouldn't let a "scam" operate and thrive for that long. Its a great company. If you have any questions or anything feel free to ask me. Have a good week!
And here is some good info on Talent6. Great article.

I hope you have a great day. and any other specific questions you have you are more then welcome to ask me :)

You obviously picked us a part bit by bit. All our PRWeb posting are REAL. We work with the big dogs for casting their shows, why would they use us if they thought we weren't legitimate? They use us because when they need 300 extras or a good actress they search threw our talent database, therefore we also provide our members with extra cash by applying to these postings. How is that so hard to understand? It's not.
Why wouldn't a company promote themselves and let everyone know that we work with big productions that maybe they are interested in? It only makes since. Talent6 is a great company in every aspect. Yes we've had growing pains and we are working day and night to improve ourselves in our clients and potential clients eyes.
Again, I am sorry that you feel the way you do that we are posting "fake" news articles, unrealistic and not true. I hope you have a great day and as I let anyone know with any discrepancies or just questions, I am here to help. Doesn't that show you something? Were taking the time to find a solution to your problem, as always.
You pay a company to assist you in getting into the entertainment business. Just like an agent does but much much cheaper. No company gives a service for free, that's why they are called a company. I don't know about that whole million thing but unless you live in LA or your have an "in" into the business then you need someone to help you, like a company who specializes in it, Talent6.
I would like a lot of things for free too but unfortunately that is not the way America works. And its not like Talent6 is expensive. Talent6 charges $45 for your portfolio an agent costs thousands and they take at least 5% of what you make, Talent6 does not do that. If you have never tried the company I don't understand how you are saying that it doesn't work? It makes no sense. If you have any questions you can ask me because just assuming things doesn't always give you the clear truth. Have a great day
Here is another example of how Talent6 is helping our members break into the entertainment industry... Check it out!

Here is an article about how we here at TALENT6 are leading the entertainment business, this time with America's Got Talent...
October 14, 2009 – SAN FRANCISCO, CA – Talent6, the leading online casting community for actors, extras and reality television, is currently working with NBC Television’s wildly entertaining amateur talent contest and perennial ratings hit, “America’s Got Talent.”
“America’s Got Talent, ” hosted by Nick Cannon and judged by Piers Morgan, Sharon Osbourne and David “The Hoff” Hasselhoff, is a grand scale Open Mike Night for Americans of all shapes, sizes and colors with demonstrable talent of any type, from singing and dancing to jaw-dropping, head-spinning --sometimes head-scratching-- and death-defying acts like fire eating, chainsaw juggling, acrobatics and feats of illusion. Acts appearing on previous seasons could be deemed from the ridiculous to the sublime, from freakish to awe-inspiring to heartwarming. Talent6’s enormous member base is just as varied and inspired, making this casting call a match made in entertainment heaven.
"Any time Talent6 takes one of our casting calls and it goes live, submission numbers increase 1000%, ” said Shannon MacIntosh, “America’s Got Talent” Casting Director. “Our show is all about discovering the raw, genuine talent residing in all of us. Being able to reach real people with real skill at this level across the country is invaluable."
“America’s Got Talent” contestants - from local auditions to semi-finals to the Las Vegas finale - must consistently present and defend their acts against the discriminating yet alternately eccentric, snarky, and even sometimes weepy judges’ panel to secure America’s votes and win. Morgan is known to be America’s version of the “meanie, ” a la Simon Cowell, Osbourne brings decades of music industry chops and an earth mother persona to the table, and The Hoff is, well….The Hoff. Contestants never know what reaction to expect or what pearls of entertainment wisdom may spring forth from The Hoff. But Talent6 members are driven to succeed and ready to rise to the challenge.
“We’re excited to be able to offer our members a shot at national stardom with this particular casting call because they have the skills and good, old-fashioned chutzpah to successfully compete on ‘America’s Got Talent, ” said John Williams, Director of Marketing and Development for Talent6.” “Because we work with talented individuals all across the country from all walks of life, the variety of talent and depth of determination is limitless.”
A unique approach to auditions, all aspiring contestants are required to submit a link to their own website or YouTube clip for consideration and pre-approval for an audition appointment. YouTube itself provides Talent6 members another opportunity to gain exposure; it was the YouTube audition clip from the “America’s Got Talent” sister show in Britain that went viral and took dowdy Scottish songbird Susan Boyle from obscurity into hearts and homes worldwide. Six months (and a full makeover) later, she’s now a top-selling international recording artist, appearing on “Oprah” and in a Harper’s Bazaar fashion spread! More details about video submissions, the audition process, open call dates and requirements for “America’s Got Talent” are available via Talent6 at www.talent6.com.
Providing direct, unprecedented access to hundreds of high-quality casting calls daily, Talent6 has been helping aspiring actors, models, extras and “real people, ” find opportunities to appear in TV, film and advertising productions across the country. The Talent6 community provides a number of resources and tools for its members, including:
Direct access and unlimited submissions to approximately 80, 000 casting directors, producers and filmmakers with thousands of casting calls posted each week for a wide variety of jobs in show business
Advice from industry insiders and advisors, exclusive to Talent6
The ability to create online portfolios, blogs and video clip reels
The Talent6 online community with forums to share experiences and make new friends in the business
All Talent6 partner casting directors and photographers have been carefully screened so only high quality, legitimate opportunities are offered, and member privacy and security is ensured.
We do not hide the monthly fee's in any shape or form. we disclose everything to our clients, it's the law mam.
Why do we charge a fee? because we like any other business provide a service therefore there is a fee. I know that our service is unlike any other because we are so advanced, but that doesn't mean we aren't a business. businesses survive by charging money for what they do, that's the way the world is.
It doesn't sound like you've used the service at all. I understand you may be upset from something but I can guarantee that no one was rude to you. we record and monitor 100% of phone calls. our agents know that they cannot be rude or deceitful. there's no need to call people you've never even talked to rude.
We do not "scam" people. we make little peoples big dreams come true, how could you bash that? if you have any legitimate questions feel free to ask me :) have a great day!
Wait, upfront fees? then hidden policies? talent6 discloses everything at time of purchase. as a consumer isn't that something you should cherish? we let our client know exactly what is expected and what is given. that is something that we take pride in.
Talent6 was mentioned in the New York Times! Another proven track record of how supplemental we are to the entertainment business!

Talent6 is not here to judge people on whether they can be a model, actor/actress or movie extra. if you feel like you can make a dent in the industry then we are more than happy to help you get that foot in the door.
We are a company who provides a service, therefore we charge a small fee compared to other online talent databases. we are a legit company. we could not operate a "scam" business in the state of california if we were otherwise.
And fyi I rebuttal these posting because I believe in the company I work for and most of these so called complaints have no weight to them. it is unfair to us as a company and our potential clients for people to assume what we do is wrong when in fact you have never used the company so you don't know the pro's and con's of it. you go off of what others say.
We have helped a lot of people fulfill there dreams and aspirations. like I have said many times before, we are a company, a company survives off of profit. we give our clients a service that they call us to sign up for. we do not cold call or anything of the sort. people like with anything else choose to start there membership with talent6. and we believe that we can help anyone fulfill there dreams in the entertainment business, this is why we back our service up with a guarantee.
Your complaint as well as others that have bashed our company have not one leg to stand on.
Your post is laughable.
I am an employee here at Talent6 and have been for over 2 years now. I am not in the marketing/advertising department. I take it upon myself to rebuttal these false complaints. Most of them are from people like yourself who assume things and assume wrong. If you have questions, ask, don't make up your own false answers. Just like yourself, never used to company, your just going off of what others say(and exaggerate at that). How can you say anything about the company when you have never used it? Ha...
Just an FYI ;)
Thank you,
MPK
