Well after I paid the deposit my Per Sumption was they were going to find work for my daughter.And instead it was a do it yourself app in which no matter how Many times you enter keywords for a title or job search no work came up.So I cancelled and yes they said I can atleast go on the app for my remainder of time but for what I find it pointless I needed to book her jobs and none are coming up .

Lots of informative webinars and classes to help get you on your way in acting, modeling, and so much more!

Ive been trying to cancel this account. I was charged $99 to sign up thinking it was a one time fee. I joined a zoom meeting and the girl kept going on about the shows they look for extras in. I had to join workshops and other things in order to be considered for a cast call. Im being $39.99 a month for something that is so bogus. I wish I never had fallen for this scam. I spoke to some people who are familiar with this kind of thing and I was told that businesses will never ask you for a payment for something you have not done a job for.

I asked a person in the industry about this place, they have never heard of them. He stated, if anyone is interested in you, they will never ask you to pay anything up front and there is no monthly fee.Do not, I repeat, do not give them your money.

PRO TIP!! REAL TALENT AGENTS DONT ASK FOR CASH UP FRONT!!!This company had an online ad claiming to be running an open casting call for a TV show. Ive done extra work in the past and have gotten paid gigs off of advertisements I saw online for open casting calls, so I booked a zoom casting with them. Within the 1st few seconds I recognized the signs of a fake agency so I left the zoom meeting. I then received a text message from them asking me for money. I told them I had no interest with signing with them, so please take me off the list. The next day I got another text message from them, offering a lower rate. I told them again I was uninterested and told them I would be filing a claim with the FTC if they contacted me again. Today I received ANOTHER text message from them, again asking for money.It is hard enough being an actor without having to deal with being scammed! Please dont let them get away with this.

Good agency to get your foot in the door as a talent new comer!

So far company had lived up to its obligations. Its still early but Im trusting in the process

If I could give them no stars I would. Rude and unprofessional.

Was a scam and not worth it. lady pressured us into signing up, said we’d get charged 99$ (as a one time fee), and has charged us 100$ every month since, tried to cancel several times and won’t listen or pick up the phone.

Scam alert. I’ve done extra work & voiceover work & NEVER had to pay a fee in advance. They get $ from you being cast if they are legit.

I signed up specifically for an open call for an audition. I was sent an email to participate in a zoom call so I did. The woman on the zoom call did not conduct an audition, she just kept talking about the agency. They are misleading and dishonest!Beware!

They are scammers please dont make the same mistake i did!

Scam, I have called and canceled yet they double charged me in one month. Have to go get new card now.

SCAM! I bet the 5 star reviews are fake. This company was One Source Talent. I literally just left them a review because I thought of them then learned they shut down after being found a scam and now rebranded as Nine9 😂DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH THIS SCAM COMPANY. GO TO A REPUTABLE TALENT AGENCY!

I have had and continue to have a GREAT experience with Nine9!! I went in for an appointment on a Friday and on Saturday, after I was given the explanation of how Nine9 works, they answered all my questions, and I understood my investment I decided to sign on as a talent on Saturday. I was able to quickly set up my account and submit my info to available castings immediately. By Tuesday I was selected for a featured background role on a popular TV show and already got to work!Oh and the workshops with the acting coaches are awesome and helped me prepare for my first job. In my experience, the staff have always been professional and welcoming.

These people are complete scam artists. Try an experiment on your own. Find casting websites where you can find the latest listings, and compare them to Nine9. You will discover that Nine9 is a grandiose ripoff.

If I could give zero stars I would. attended a virtual open call thinking they were legit, no one joined after I sat on the call for 20 minutes. since then, they’ve not stopped blowing up my phone. definitely a scam - please avoid at all costs.

Hard about this place from A friendChecked it out super nice people very worm and welcoming they just signed me for 10 Days wish me luck

If nine9 was such a great company then why do they continually text me after I told the company that Im not interested? I know Im a good looking guy and all, but I also know theres a lot of good looking people in the world that arent able to find success in the industry. Once I heard about the upfront fees I knew not to sign up right away and that it was a scam. I told them get me a job first & then theyll get my money. As far as going to open casting calls and trying to get an acting job?...well I can do that myself without giving them my hard earned money for absolutely nothing. I might as well just light my money on fire.

They are money grabbers, they stole 99 from me for casting although it all closed down for Covid19, when I reached out and told them 4 days later I could not use their service, and that a relative contracted Covid, they refused to refund money that they did absolutely nothing for. Disgusting behavior.

0 star rating, its a scam where u spend 90$ to sign up on some fake agency, then monthly get charged over 30$ just to create an account where directors etc can reach out to you and connect with you in order build your portfolio, however there is no guarantee theyll work with you and you are better off creating your own portfolio and website with your talents online using google sites- its free and you can customize however youd like.

They Call & Spam your phone with Text messages. And when you do answer, they try to talk you into paying Monthly so you can be constantly linked to so call “CASTING CALLS”.... don’t believe them

This place is a scam...they make you pay for everything, and you get nothing in return.You pay a monthly fee and the site never changes. Ive been tryin to contact billing for 11 months now to cancel my subscription and Ive got no answer nor have I been contacted by them like they said I would be...they are robbing people.

I don’t know how they got my information but they have been randomly spamming me for few years now. Not interested in working with you all, please respect it and move on. It’s starting to feel like a scam now.

Look at their rates & desperate need to fish ppl. I just got this email.Absolute scam... 3rd class agency, casting for whoever is not smart enough to realize it. Misleading, taking whoever walks in through the door, to try to make them believe that they have talent and charge you for classes, photos etc... shouldve known better. DO NOT BOTHER UNLESS YOU WANT TO MAKE YOURSELF BELIEVE THAT THIS AN AGENGY.

99 is the price they try to get you to pay, not the company name.

Rather openly a fraudulent place. They work by bringing in a large mass of people under the pretense of finding background actors for shows and telling them about the basics of modeling acting and then calling them in to a side office one by one and telling them theyve made the first cut.Everyone is then brought back another day where they are told theyre accepted pursuant to stupendously large payment for not much in the way of services and signing a overly binding contract. When I was interviewed the second time I was told nobody would be sent out for anything less than a speaking role (which was completely at odds with what we were told on the first day) and just how large the fee was. When I asked for a day to talk about it with my partner I was told that I couldnt have that time because their photographers were on a tight schedule (hah) and that if I said no now Id have to go back through the entire process again. When I said that I had a professional photographer ready to do headshots and cards for me already I was told that there would be no discount from their services even though they werent adding anything.After I refused to budge on waiting a day to decide the initial person I talked to got her manager who basically took their offer out of my hands and then said that there was no way they could possibly wait another day. Judging by the other reviews here that seems to be a baldfaced lie.For your perusal I have attached the contract they wanted me to sign here. I simply recommend that you avoid the place.

Although they seem reputable, you should NEVER have to pay to get hired. If they like you they should supply you with what you need. They are a business playing on people’s hopes and dreams

Hello and good night I am sorry for all of the unfortunate bad luck but my name is Barry Allen and Im a proud graduate of the nine9 agency. I first showed up at nine9 agency back in 2010 and was applying for the role of The Flash on CW. I was immediately called for acceptance of the role and I have been happily playing Barry Allen as The Flash on CW for the past few years since 2014. Let me tell you people at first I was discouraged to pay the $500 back in 2010 but let me assure you it paid off I was able to play on the flash and actually was able to make date Iris West off the show and its all thanks to nine9!!!!!!! I am so thankful and have so much gratitude for how lucrative my life has been that I decided to get nine9 tattooed on my neck. NINE9 4 LIFEEE!!!!

Nine9 is an extremely professional organization. They don’t waste time, and they don’t believe in sending you out until you are ready. Along with a gorgeous staff, the company is straightforward, resourceful, and always there when you need them. I am excited to be apart of the Nine9 family, and I have every intention on taking this opportunity to the next level. Can’t wait to see what the future holds! Keep up the awesome!- Paul Cruz aka FYI-Delis

Agencies that make money on models are usually just make money without giving them job.Agencies have to give, not to take

I came across an ad on Facebook which mentioned this company. It was to audition for the new Halloween (Michael Myers) movie. I don’t have any acting experience but this was for new people as well. Being that I love scary movies & Michael Myers is my favorite serial killer, I decided to give it a shot.I filled out an online application & got a call, along with a text message soon after. Came off a bit strange to me that they were that quick with the response. Next thing you know, I’m on the phone with them & they mention a fee of $500 in order to get started & create a portfolio. On top of that, there’s a monthly charge of $40 or something around that.They’re a complete scam! Don’t fall for it. When something seems too good to be true, it certainly is. Don’t waste your time on this company.

After reading all of the reviews I decided too write one of my own ! So I will start this off by saying there is NO LONGER a $500 fee, it is only $99 and today I made that grand investment . I honestly felt great about the whole thing, we had a zoom meeting and she explained alot and also explained WHY they charge money, they are different from talent agencies hence the “Unagency” that take a portion of your earnings when you are being booked (Not sure how accurate that is this is my first rodeo) vs Nine9 allowing you too keep 100% of your earnings ! So again this is day one for me as Nine9 Talent and I have a great feeling about this ! Hope my review helped

I was called in to take pictures for a photo shoot and thought I give it a try and see what happens. I know not a considered a model type I guess but there are all walks of life in modeling. The I rate them a 1star is because they say they actually like to send you out to jobs i will call you make you believe youre what they looking for and they dont respond at all. So people please try other modeling agencies not just one if you serious about modeling. Good Luck 😀

Great company that helped me immensely with starting my career. Shout out to Sanabel and her phenomenal team!

Sent me two messages from 2 different numbers. knew it was a scam. i DID NOT sign up for anything. Do not contact me again. I will block you. this is not professional at all.

Y’all are a scam i was kicked off a meeting when i mentioned that they’ve been sued and lots of other stuff. They obviously are a scam. I feel bad for every kid who put their credit card info in. Please always look up the “agency” before sending ur money in. This place or whatever is trash and is a scam. Disgusting.

It’s a scam, they would want you to pay $400 to $600 to be register. let me tell you what you’re going to get out, five pictures and they will ask you come another day. And believe me you can take a picture better than them.trust me on that I wasted money and I know what I’m talking about and they make you feel like they select you. trust me if you want to bring one of your friend. who don’t even have a face only have a two hands they will take them if you give them money.After reading my review and if you register. After one month you realize I should listen to what other people have to say... I wasted the money. I will not want anyone to waste their money

Ive said Im not interested three times now but that hasnt seemed to stop them from blowing up my phone.

Invited to a open call turned out to be false! Was not a open call it was a call to collect $100 upfront and an additional $40 monthly to let you know where there would be real open calls! Soon as I asked if it was a scam they booted me out!

A couple of weeks ago i went for an interview here in NYC. Can I say I was impressed? They had a routine and moved everyone who was interviewing very fast. They were friendly and took your picture, offered a nice bathroom and a waiting area with a big screen TV and new movie to watch! I am older and they expressed a willingness to work with me! I will definitely work with them!

If I could give less than 1 star I would ... this is a complete scam and even answering a text message to them can get your whole credit card wiped clean... stay far away from and text or calls from nine9 or your going to need to get back thousands of dollars they will take from you... dead serious!

I loved all of the employees I’ve had the privilege to speak with......and over all during the two appointments I’ve been to, I had a blast and some good laughs. Everyone I spoke to was very personable. I would definitely recommend this place and I’m not quite sure about some of the negative reviews here. I guess it also depends on your energy and motivation so always keep that in mind. I went in with a positive mindset and the experience was awesome 👏🏼

I saw an add for casting for the Soprano sequel. I applied and was contacted by Nine9 to interview for it. I thought there was something in my background they wanted. They really pursued me to come down. When I arrived and saw the amount of applicants I grew suspicious. A women spoke to all of us in a room. At that time I found out they were looking for people for all types of modeling acting and singing So this was not “only “ for the prequel. She also spoke of having head shot pics and resume that the company does if you are picked to proceed About 30 minutes later I was called into a room and asked a few questions I was then asked to come back the next day. I then asked if the head shots and resume will cost anything. The women said like you were told inside the other room about $400 to $ 500. The women in the other room did not talk about any fees. So this whole casting was about making 500 dollars to make up a pic and resume. If I was informed that prior to the “ interview” I would have never traveled from LI to NYC. If I was told in the waiting room I would have left

One of my peers from college told me about nine9. I was interested in modeling so I signed up in November. I love everyone from nine9. They were very straightforward and honest about everything which gave me an overview of the whole industry. They broke it down in a way that I would be able to understand and gave me their contact information if I ever needed help with anything. I havent attended any workshops yet, but during the photo shoots, theyve been well. Its very relaxed and everybody was nice. Im a shy person, but I didnt feel that because they were starting conversations with me to make me feel comfortable and it worked. It was a great experience to be able to ask people who are already in the industry - questions about what we need to do to get to where theyre at. It was really cool and very informative. Overall, it was a life-changing experience. I am glad i gave nine9 a chance to help me.

This place IS A TOTAL SCAM - because REAL MODELING AGENCIES DO NOT CHARGE YOU MONEY FOR ANYTHING! How do people not know this?STAY AWAY FROM THIS PLACE!!!

They know what talent theyre looking for and give you a chance to show what you can do, help with resume building and more so you can open doors to your success in the industry!#...

Definitely not worth it. Went in and was told to come the following day for a second meeting and to wear appropriate clothes for taking a head-shot. Was then told about the $499 fee and monthly $39.95. This had me confused as my grandfather and brother are both SAG actors and have never talked about paying fees to their agencies. Called my grandfather who told me hes never heard of Nine9 and to steer clear.Turns out, this is not an agency at all. Most people are a bit confused about this. I am in the process of applying to actual agencies and it seems like a lot of the open calls for projects are available without going through a company like Nine9. Simply reach out to those projects that are listed instead of paying this company to do it for you.Do your research before giving anyone your money! Find an actual agency!!

Scammers waste of time

I will tell you why what kind of agency hold zoom meeting with chat function off that people won’t question them but I am a Middle Aged woman who has decided to pursue this but I am paying to waste my time I think most of the good reviews are from people paid to give good reviews and most that say this company is a scam are right it felt like a scam from the start

Why would you offer an acting job on social media if the real purpose is to get $500 commission for giving you access to a platform? I bet thousands of people go there and they get away with 10 or 20 people that pays them this fee but Its basically a FALSE promotion in social media and a really easy way to make money by playing with peoples dreams. If you go to get an acting job is because you are actually looking for a job! not to pay them the little less money you might have.

Bad service, lies and deciet

I KNEW THERE WAS A CATCH!! During my interview & call back, I asked questions that alluded to how Nine9 makes $$ if they do not take a commission from their clients’ bookings. “What’s this going to cost me” like other agencies (i.e. thousands of dollars for classes, workshops, and meet & greets with agents, etc.).Well they decided to move forward with me (👏🏾), but suddenly decided to be explicit yet nonchalant about fees. Of course I gave the “had someone mentioned it before” speech. I made another appointment for when I would have the funds. However, afterwards I went on Google to see Nine9’s reviews (something I should have done before, but hey...). Not surprisingly, but I came across mostly GRIPES about that “on-the-spot” $499 to become a member and the $39 monthly payments. I even came across a response from an EVAN who mentioned Nine9 dealing with the interviewers mentioning those costs proactively so potential clients could either have budgeted for it prior to interviews, so that neither party’s time is wasted, and / or to maintain the quality of service and reputability of their company.Is Nine9 really dealing with this issue. How do I know if this isn’t a money-making scam & that they will follow through with and stick to being consistent with finding bookings for me...? Should I take this chance... or risk 🤔😐

Scammers. They do not tell u about the $500 but only the $38.95. They also forged my signatures with a high technology machine. DO NOT GIVE THEM YOUR MONEY OR TIME. My bank is helping me to investigate to get my money back so is the Government. Check business Bureau online u will see loads of complaints. I am so saddened hurt angry and disappointed in not only these people but myself. All for being a single mother whose ambitious. Now I do not trust people even more!

As of now, I feel good about the acceptance and I hope that the future holds a lot for me with the help of Nine9. When I first heard of them I said to myself, maybe this is another fraud. But when I got there and was able to experience everything it seemed real deal. When I got the call back, I was excited because I was given the opportunity to let my voice be heard a second time. So now we moving on from here and see where life takes me and the opportunities I run in to.

I came to One Source about 2 months ago and I have already gained so much experience and had so much fun while doing it! I started out with small fashion shows and events to gain experience and build my resume, once I gained more and more experience I was able to be submitted into bigger and bigger projects. My most recent accomplishment was to be on the cover of Birmingham Magazine! I was sent to audition for the cover through One Source Talent and I got the job which was very exciting! Thanks to One Source and all of helpful people in the office I really feel like my time has been very well spent and I couldnt be happier with everything they have done for me and getting my modeling career going!

All these other people talking about Scam Scam! How about put in the time and work to get what you are looking to get out of this experience. The workshops are absolutely fabulous and we get to learn and actually practice the techniques needed to get booked for castings. And when you do get booked, what you earn is yours.

One of my biggest faults ..they will ripp youu offf ..just for a couple of photos u gonna pay 500$ and get nothing ...if you want to waste time and money go to that Unprofessional UNagency

THIS IS A SCAM!!! I saw an ad on facebook for an OPEN CASTING CALL and when I showed up they started an entire recruitment scheme. I then noticed other reviews saying this is a scam because they ask for $500 before you even get any work! They use dirty tricks to get you in there, show a presentation to make you want to join and then try to take $500 from you right off the bat. This place should be shut down.

Great place to jump start your future. Every single person I have met here have been amazing.I highly recommend anyone wanting training and exposure. ZandraI

Originally no review.- year later review,I’m still with the company and attend the workshops when I am able.I’ve learned a lot more about the industry and how things works and people get casted. It has been a great learning experience so far. Originally I signed up because I wanted to try something new and do something else outside of my usual daily routine.Everyone there has been supportive and I still keep in touch with who I first signed up with.I also got my first voucher recently, which is why I’m now updating/ adding a review.It looks like a lot of these reviews are from people who have no experience with the company. Of course you have to pay, it isn’t free (nothing is) and it’s a business, on top of all that YOU are trying to enter a billion dollar industry with no experience. Everyone wants to be either an athlete or in entertainment. Everyone wants to be famous without having to work for it and pay their dues.It’s been a great experience so far for me.

Not gonna lie, not really confident about this company. Based on what Ive read on the website, it seems to be structured like every other acting and agency scam Ive ever seen.You guys claim 15 years in the industry, but theres no evidence to suggest authenticity of your claim. Youve got no big names, youre pretty much expecting an up front fee 5 times that of any other system, and youre charging $40 a month for something a legitimate agency charges $100 per year for.Not to mention all of the bad reviews and dissatisfied customers you appear to have, based solely on the way you run things.If youve really been at this 15 years, it would appear to be that you would have not only significantly more reviews, but significantly higher ones as well. Gotta be honest, that doesnt instill a lot of confidence in your system.After my appointment, Ive come to the conclusion that, while you may not be scamming people, youre misleading them with the way you operate. I can host on Craigslist and find a dozen paid acting gigs for free, and land two or three of them. Based on what Im seeing in your reviews, you cant manage that.I realize you claim not to be an agency, but the simple fact is, weather you choose to accept it or not, youre operating as a go-between for actors and casting agents, that, by definition, makes you an agencey, weather you call yourself one or not.Now Ill give you a chance to prove me wrong. I have an appointment today at 7 pm, though, despite my asking via text, I still dont have an address of where I am supposed to be going. I know the when, but not the where.This is your chance to prove to the doubtful people that your agency is legit. 1 star until I can prove youre claims.

After reading all these reviews I dont think Im going anymore😔. I applied after seeing the add casting of the matrix. Two things its being filmed in San Francisco🤨 and casting was done on Feb 9th 😱. Today is now the 23rd of Feb🤬.Not sure what kind of game this is but Im not interested so thanks but no thanks!🖕Hey its nothing personal nine9 but people work way too hard to just give your company handouts🤔.

Horrible people and a horrible scam audience! Run far away! Absolutely a scam!

AWESOME COMPANY!! I’m so excited to work with such an amazing team this year and get my career up and running. They have such great energy and they accepted me for ME. Amazing company I will definitely recommend it to my friends.

Bait and switch for talent looking for background roles or modeling, etc.They claim to be hosting virtual casting calls where they spend their time talking about the company and never actually doing the auditions. They use the time to try to get people to sign up ($499 for headshots, calling card and then additional $30-40 monthly fee to keep the door open).

I have the pleasure with working with the staff at NY city Nine.I have been given wonderful support and look forward to upcoming projects. I feel with that support from the staff as well as the clinics on Friday. I am well on my way towards my lifelong goal for success.Ed.

I feel Nine9 Agency sounds legit but need to bring up the fees in the emails as they set the appointments. Theyre talking about an entrance fee $499 - $500 then a monthly fee of $39.95. I may live in NYC but a lot of us is struggling, we dont just have money like that to just give. Ive been trying to be in this business since I was 2 years old. Professionally I have been trying to be signed to an agency since 2010. Just put the financial services in the email as well

SCAM: This company may appear real, legit and well maintained. This is because they are great LIARS. If you were contacted to go, please DONT. They just want your MONEY. They will simply act like they want you to model/act... They will treat you like you are VIP... They want you to believe their LIE, so they can have your hard worked funds!! Apparently the prices vary on location, but they want $499 in NYC. Have respect for yourself... walk away from this situation. The only BIG opportunity here is losing your money! Hope this helps, everyone. Best of luck.

So I answer a FB ad for an extra for a specific crime series. Upon arrival Im told their are many opportunities and receive afollow up appointment for the following day. On the second day Im told congratulations, youve been accepted, please fill out the form which states that Ill have to pay almost $500.00 upfront and a $50.00 monthly fee! COMPLETE SCAM! STAY AWAY!!!

Nine9 is awesome!! I love them. The minute I signed with them I’ve been so busy. I’ve had auditions literally everyday!! And whenever I have questions (normally a lot) they’re always there to answer and help out!

You go there and hope to make money instead they ask you to pay $500 and 40 a month for account membership. That you can cancel anytime.That’s sounds fishy it’s sad how they make money on hard working people. Don’t fall for it

I was charged over $500. for absolutely nothing!!!

I had a real feeling of being scammed. Run dont walk away and read the previous reviews. They couldnt give me any definite information about the job I was interested in and I didnt stick around long enough for them to try to sell me a head shot package

This is totally a scam .. how about they name drop actual actors actresses or models that use them so you have a point of reference... who did you help? who did you make famous? $500 to be the guy in the background of a dorito commercial? lmao joke

Seems to good to be true. But who knows.. Money talks. $500 for composite cards or almost $300.. No type of layaway plan especially for starters. No money no Honey.. Good Luck!

Welcome back New Faces!!! Bait and switch job all day long. Lets bring you in for an casting for an extra. Then they want your money for a so called portfolio. Thats the switch.. Unless this is what you want to do in life, and your looking for mediocre results and a high levels of rejection, perfect place to start that long journey.

I was just there and based on the vibe before I walked in I expected them to accept almost if not everyone and anticipated an unnecessary fee. I was right. As I was walking out someone who would have zero chance with a legitimate agency even “got in.” The woman tried to make me feel special and I went along with it and walked out knowing I wouldn’t return. NO AGENCY should ever ask for money. Yes pictures cost money, but I already had what I needed. However I know that at the callback they’d say they weren’t good enough for the sake of making more money. So over these scams! I need a legitimate and reliable agency.

The girl that do the introduction is so rude and treat us like brainless persons.I was willing to pay the 500$ but she didnt even let us hear all the conference, she is an improfessional woman.Worst place ever, dont even think to go there, bad service and disrespectful people, JUST WANT TO STEAL YOUR MONEY.

My mother went for a second intake appointment and what the company doesn’t tell you is that there’s hidden fees. They wanted her to pay $500 upfront for their services. Not only did she not know about the hidden fees when the director of NineNine her name is Sanabel she crumbled the intake application and threw out the whole documentation in front of my mother face. That was really unprofessional for NineNine to ask for money upfront without no notice before hand and for them to not professionalism in their company . I will call the city to find out if this place is legit

Great company. Very professional. No beating around the bush. Would recommend this agency to anyone interested in a modeling/acting career.

This place charges a lot of money. I went for the casting with my daughter. I also went to another modeling agency but this one charges way more. Its a 1000$ to sing up plus 40$ a month and your not even sure if you will even be picked up to do anything. The best way to get into modeling is to send your pictures straight to an modeling company. I wouldnt recommend this place at all! Save your time and money

I had filled an application on line which was a mixup...I explained my situation and they keep reaching out to me...I never acted or modeled before, so I have no experience, but as I read all these reviews it seems to me that this company prays on week minded people to manipulate a false chance at stardom, $499 fee and 39.99 month. You should be charging nothing until we get a casting and make money,then you should get a percentage..thats how you can make people feel like your a real company and not just a company deceiving people with false dreams and all your getting out of this is some money from people who dont get it and a tax write off...shame on your company .NINE9

So far my experience at Nine9 agency was professional, informative and all staff members I engaged with were kind, and very good at communicating what was expected of me. If you are signing up with the agency, there is the expectation of representing the agency as a professional. That narrative is evident when you visit the offices in NYC. I respect professionalism and I respect the brand.I do hope that this is the beginning of a new career for me.

Guys, especially young aspiring actors: Please, please, please do not give money to these people. I’ve been looking into them for five years— All their locations, despite being all over the country, are phony. It’s the equivalent of looking for for diamonds at a kid’s toy store.The fees are ridiculous, and you should be paying for nothing, period. The only thing you should be paying for is your own personal headshots, outside of an agency. And even then, a decent headshot for beginners should cost at least $60 - $150. Nothing like $500.On top of that, even if you get past the $500 + $39.95 per month, process, you’ll be paying for a near-useless membership. Workshops that you could attend locally, for much cheaper and maybe even free.This business is meant to manipulate you. Nothing more than that. Avoid it at all costs.

Funny how Evan their Coo does not answer bad reviews only 5 starThis is a ripoff company and agencyDo not walk away runswayThey are very unethical agency andEvan the Coo can call me and I will be glad toexplain my review but I do not think so explai

Everything seem so nice and well put together .but its the money they want because I have 2 child of my own and 2 step kids and I know there talented. But for each child its 400$ and change for pictures. If people who have money can do that they go ahead and do it. Now I found a new REAL agency who took my kids and have work perfectly. Moral of the story if your child is talented you shouldnt have to pay they should pay your child to do difrent thing.

My experience started off as a joke... to myself. I am a disabled veteran and I am currently unemployed. I was not sure where someone with my individual talents would find gainful employment. I saw an ad for an extra in a Tyler Perry movie coming up... eighties flashback. I received a response from Nine9 and after many texts and emails from them encouraging me to come in. Here I am now. Starting off in a field that was a past posssibility hoping to turn it into a future filled with great success!

Was great experience. Was prompt was not just sitting around a long time. Everyone was nice and very professional. I was impressed with the surroundings. Was just excited and thankful for the chance!!!;)

My experience in one sentence: Misleading Publicity.I invite you to open your mind and not only read my opinion, this, in fact, is just my personal experience. Please take a moment to revise all of the above comments, good & bad and form your own opinion.They do exist and have a great internal structure in place, great staff & nice offices. However, their full sales approach in my professional opinion is not only False Advertising but is also Misleading.Why? They advertise and offer false & unproven opportunities to consumers in Google & Instagram ads. So once you are there, they now offer you a 180º different product. In person, they now offer you their true services: Headshots, workshops, and a monthly program fee to “maybe be eligible to participate in future shows.” Not what they initially offer in their ads.This been said, I don’t recommend this place. However, before I receive the “auto response from the manager of this place; the one that you can read in other reviews”, if, and only if they change their sales tactics for an HONEST approach, based in real data since the beginning, I would probably recommend their services to any aspiring actor, singer or actress out there.Sincerely,Diego.

Straight up scam..They want money..Straight to the point..No agent or agency will ask you for money until they get you a part..Dont be stupid..That is them..Not you..

They treat you with respect and are no where near rude. When you go for your appointment they do not ask for money up front like many of you are saying . If you aren’t what they are looking for they are still completely nice and from my experience they don’t judge anyone. I’m glad I gave it a chance even when seeing these bad reviews because if I didn’t I would’ve missed out on so much.

THIS IS A SCAM: This company uses casting calls from real, reputable companies to lure in prospects (mine was for HBOs The Deuce). The initial interview is a short interview and a headshot— they then invite everyone back for a second & final round and tell you to wear all black for a photo shoot in case youre chosen. From there, they charge you $500 to create a talent listing that they will apparently use to match you with opportunities. Good thing I didnt feed into this scheme after doing some research, including the 84 complaints on the Federal Business Bureau. I even confirmed with HBO that this company has a history of getting away with this.

They called me for over 9mths now im waitin patiently after doin the shoots

Horrible. Do not waste your time here guys. They prey on the innocent and weak. They are not a real agency. What agency makes you pay $500 upfront?? And $40 monthly??? I am going to take this to the BBB. Do research people. Also, the people giving 5 stars have 1 review...hmmm.I also talked to Tyler Perrys casting director and she said that the post is fraudulent and they do not work with this agency.

Ive been through the first interview and saw no substance instead they asked for 499/- for professional photos. Do the math, if 50 people show up and pay $499/- Thats $ 24,950!! in one DAY!!! So imagine how they are affording a place in Mahnattan and cashing on by giving false hopes to people!! I asked around people in.showbiz industry NINE9 has ZERO CREDIBILITY infact people should REPORT THEM and make sure they dont rip people off of their money!! They are minting millions of dollars annually!!! Half of the people who attempt to get into acting.. wont pass SCREENTESTS because they are NOT PHOTOGEBIC AT ALL nor they have ATTRACTIVE PERSONALITY to be in industry!! SO SAVE YOUR HARD EARNED MONEY and look for renowned professional casting agencies!!!

I’m reading the reviews and i see a lot of bad ones saying you guys are a scam. The good reviews just say you guys provide great customer service. I just really want to know if anyone actually got any acting or modeling gigs after joining and paying all those fees? I’m curious.

This is a great place to get into the industry.The crew was so helpful. They give fair and equal opportunities to everyone. I am glad to work with them.

Here is the honest truth, this place is all about making money that’s about it I’m sure they place your head shots on the Internet and hand them out but you have to pay them to do that they’re all about their money if your really wanted for a TV show or modeling or commercial etc. they will pay for everything I know this because my little Sister was in a few nickelodeon shows nothing big she wasn’t a mean character or anything she didn’t have to pay a dime

I just joined this amazing family, it has been a great deal for me, my hopes are re high and the team in working with got everything on deck and they ready to work and assist on anyway they can... I already recommended it to all my family and friends, I cant enjoy this opportunity alone
