  • ur probobally only 8, and u dont now wat ur talking about, ur mom has paid thousands of dollars for u to reallly go nowhere, so dont post videos wen u hav no idea wat ur talking about pleaz, ur givin every1 the wrong info! and u can learn how to put makeup on and different catwalf moves on youtube fwi!

  • they take all ur money just to let u go nowhere. pleaz no do the john roberts powers thing, they just wanna take ur money! stay with the agents tht will represent u for free! start taking acting lessons, and audition for agents who will represent u free of charge, the ones that say will represent you only for money, and dont think u hav skills

  • just by the way, i did do the jon roberts power thing, it is a real buisness, but it is sorta a scam. we paid 2,500 dollars, told us not to tell any1 how much it cost or they wud sue us, they told us we were all gonna b represented by an agent for free, but then the agent came and sed we had to go to ipop and pay 3500 more dollars just to go there, so realistically,

  • It's totally not a scam. She has paid thousands of dollars and now she is a star, oh wait...

    SHE'S NOT!

  • i have a audition tomorrow

  • This is so true b/c i am in it . it is not a scam so stop saying that people it is so not a scam

  • ur on a commercial?

  • @biggestAriGfan by the way shes not on a REAL commercial, it is just one they make up in there classes on theyre favorite store, or food! and shes only in the advanced class is becuz her parents paid more, not even becuz she is good or anything

  • i hope its not a scam i have an audition in 2 hours ^__^

  • do you have to take classes

  • People keep on saying that you have to pay like idk 250 dollars in avance NOW I DONT CARE IF ITS A SCAM OR NOT but eather way it sounds wrong sorry just want to say that please agree if you think it is wrong its not that I think its a scam but I have been scamed before the onlything we looked at was the reveiws a mother got yelled at for not pay 2000 dollar that day the day you get called back so I am SOOOOOOOOO percauseis sorry not the best speller please forgive me

  • they audition u

    theyre nice

    they dont make you pay

    they call you really good

    then they ask for you to take classes.

    they cost 10,000

    that is the scam.

    any deal where anybody says they will give you something for nothing is a scam.

    my parents are thinking of sueing

  • @decievingmermaid it is not 10,00o people dont know the cost till u make it

  • I AUDITIONED FOR JRP THIS MORNING. THEY ARE NOT A SCAM. THEY ARE GOOD. THEY ASKED FOR NO MONEY FROM ME AT ALL. THEY ACCEPTED ME AND SAID THEY ARE SENDING ME TO AN AUDITION SOON.

  • @cuteandscene  lucky you

  • Check out my channel for the truth about JRP. I've done hours of research on it and have even called both the JRP nearest me and the main office in LA. I know what's going on and have an unbiased view of it (considering I haven't been to any of their classes.)

  • @EmmyJay33 Wait is it in LA or New York

  • @lovesmobs There are JRPs in almost every state. IF you want to know exact locations check out their website

  • ummm they are not a scam cuz i even asked them if i had to pay and they said no u only have to pay if u want an andvanced class and u nly havta pay 250 dololars for advanced so ppl need to stp ssayin tht it is a scam its NOT!

  • You are a stupid little kid! Can i ask you something, Are you in Disney Channel?Are you in MTV?Are you in nickelodeon? No rigth! You don't understand that they do that for M O N E Y..

  • @SabrinaCoomic lol true 

  • I Got Accepted To JRP But I Never Went Back When They Called For Me To Come Back ... But Would I Still Be Able To Go Back Or What ?

  • I AUDITONED FOR JOHN PPOWERS ALSO, BUT I STILL HAVE TO PAY FOR SUM CLASSES ESPICALLY IF UR NOT EXPERIENCED

  • jrp is the biggest scam ever!

  • Than you coolbeans971 I was wondering if it was a scam or not because they asked me to pay before they even gave me a gig for acting or modeling

  • BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH YOU? MODELING AGENCIES? Wow. This was funny. Thanks.

  • Let me ask you this (person in video), if JRP isn't a scam, how come this is the first time i'm ever sing you? How come i never saw you on TV? A Movie?....i think you get my point.

  • I'll tell you what you need to be in JRP.. A ton of money. Ask me whatever you like about that 'agency'. I was in it a few years ago.

  • Is jrp new York a scam

  • Is jrp in chicago a scam or wat... Cuz I really would love to go????

  • Smh.

  • it cost like a shit load of money

  • @musicvarietyisgood I checked and the one I would go to has been rated legitly, with only one complaint in the past three years.

  • @TheGardenal101 But which one did you go to?

  • @musicvarietyisgood THANK YOU. I'm accepted into it and am deciding on if I should go, and I want to hear reviews on people that actually GO there and KNOW that it's not an Agency, but a SCHOOL.

  • i need to knw more cause im a actor and want to be a on tv should i go to to jhon roberts power i live in ny so should i go to it to the one which is not a sacam i need to knw ifits a sacamor not

  • i need to knw more cause im a actor and one be a on tv should i go to to jhon roberts power i live in ny so should i go to it to the one which is not a sacam i need to knw ifits a sacamor not

  • hi! i'm going to the audition next saturday ... I've heard that they will just tell me to join classes but after that ... they help u with auditions and agents???

  • DO NOT get involved with JRP!!!!!! They will take your money. I'm now out $560.62 from auditions this past weekend....nothing about money was mentioned the first day(Saturday.) Then my daugher and her husband went again on Sunday as my granddaugher was accepted. They were told it would be another $1,700.00. The classes would be just on Saturday for 5 weeks. Break that down and it comes to $430 per session. Save that money for a reputable company, and unlike us, do your homework beforehand

  • I went the jrp years ago and the people there were very rude to me. My friend also went there and said she found out it was a scam. I told my dad about the company. He went to the headquarters for nick and disney and asked the workers there about the company. No one there had ever heard of it before. Isnt that a bit strange?

  • I'm going next week and with all these bad comments I'm confused. I live in New York hopefully it's better here.

  • @TrulyRebekahForever Do NOT go!!!! They are a scam and the first day money is not mentioned, however if you're chosen, which you probably will be, then you are called back the next day, and that's when the money is mentioned. I'm out $560+ and an additional $1,700(finally realized this didn't feel right.) I contacted the Better Business Bureau and was told they are not on the up and up. Do more research!!!!

  • it is a scam its on actra NO Cheque List

  • Comment removed

  • it is SO not a scam in any way , shur, it may cost alot of money but tones of opertunities , i havent even been to the classes and i still have auditions and i just started 2 or 3 days ago

  • I see all theese videos about it being a scam, this is the first video I have ever seen of it not being a scam. I am very unsure of the JRP program........ i'm not sure if your paid or asked to say that.... but im glad theres atleast one video saying its not. I went to the cattle call for it in florida but he never called back. So i'm not sure if I should go to the next one or not. weeelllll gtg

  • Hey coolbeans great videos. I called Selena's saynow #! Also I am going to sign up for the JRP in Boston this tuesday. I'm about the same age as you but I'm a boy. UR awesome. :) also it is a school but each month agents come to recruit!!! I hope you get a job and I hope I get a job form JRP too. Also make more videos because I like your videos. Thanks coolbeans! :)

  • @nnbnnbgugyty Agents come to recruit? Who told you this? Please everyone~~~do more research(especially your parents.) I'm out quite a lot of money, and have since called BBB. I was told they are not on the up and up. You have been warned!!!

  • JRP IS NOT A SCAM!

  • its not!!!

  • Okay it is not a scam i am under the industry so i know it is not a scam ,

  • John Roberts Powers, mayb there are several of them. Severals are fake, severals are real. I apparently went to the fake one. Talked to this lady, she said she's from LA right, gave me a number to contact her about the money to get in if i ever have a chance. Her number is only temporary btw, and its from Atlanta, Georgia when she said she lives in LA. Another thing about it is that when i went for audition, this so called popular model named, Angelica discovered Brenda song. So what i did was,

  • maybe there is a John Roberts Powers that is real, and another one that is fake with the same name. Cuz i recently went there to audtion in little rock, arkansas, everything went well until i got to the money part. Now ask yourself, why do you need to pay to work for someone when they aleady telling you that you will be great for commercials, acting, and modeling? In this life, no one ever pays anybody just to work. thats crap.

  • JRP is a scam. the sooner u get that through ur head, the less money ur parents r going 2 have 2 throw away. I don't care if u got to b seen by a million agents, managers, casting directors... How much did u pay???? did u know that u don't need to drop a single dime to b seen by any 1 of these people??? did u know that IPOP is a rip off to make u believe that u can be taken seriously and get representation???

  • @feda31 you are write. it doesnt take money to see an agent. and there are great acting schools all over that dont cost 2-3 grand.

  • hahhahahahahahahahaha, awwwww shit. Really? Why would someone put in so much dedication to a youtube video defending JRP. They must be paying u to save their company from another lawsuit. I screwed up my audition horribly and somehow they saw potential in me? lllmmaaoooo, im gonna save my 500 bucks for a class and get with the legit program........and it sure as hell aint JRP. peeaacceee** :D

  • @ItsLateAndImBoredAF lol i agree! i auditioned for another company called ACT that works like jrp, and my audition was bad. i forgot my lines and had to look back at the paper, but they still accpeted me. i was shocked

  • i think it is a scam

  • If this were a real scam, these offices would not exist thru out the country.. however, they are like a bad lawyer and go against the customary trend .. meaning, they charge you first to get you auditions..what they r doing is legal, altho unethical. it seems some pple have success. just be weary if u go thru with it and read the thousands of complaints out there on the internet.. REMEMBER: A real, legitimate agency will NOT charge you..And the best ones won't even charge you for head shots!

  • There are many complaints out there for JRP..I believe, they have offices across the country. This would be a GINORMOUS Fraud if that's the case..They may consistently get sued and complaints, but the more I research, the more I realize they are just a badly managed company..If you want to take acting classes go to a real Film School like NY Film Acad..This Agency may get you auditions, but ANY real agency will not charge you til you win auditions and get paid.. customary is 10%

  • U SHOULD NOT HAVE TO PAY FOR AN AGENCY!!!!! IF U DO THATS A RED FLAG RUN RUN RUN!! IF THEY CHOOSE U THEY WANT U AND U SHULD NOT HAVE TO PAY!!!!! THEY SCAMMED 600$ OUT OF MY PARENTS THEY R A SCAM THEY GET SEWWED ALL OF THE TIME!!!!!!

  • @themileyworldfan

    JRP is not an AGENCY. It's a SCHOOL. And SCHOOLS do cost money. So JRP is not a scam.

  • @MauraAnnProductions There are a lot of good schools. These people are not accredited by BBB, and when you call them after they get your money you get an answering machine.......that is if you're wise and have done your homework. I have called several times and emailed them for the money that was promised back to me if I decided against it. Never a phone call or email. You're better off to take drama in H.S. or college because these people keep wanting more and more. Check them out!!!

  • becausee of them i hadd thee ability to try out for thingz ndd became the person i am today. for your info i am a union performer .... & im a real person, if thats what your trying to say. im 100% real bruhh! like i said get your facts str8 otherwise shut it down.

  • its not a SCAM;; get iht right i just started ndd so far im doinq realy good ! ♥ . i just did a commercial for smuckerss lol thanx to jrp. they DO NOT promise anything. they just promise lessons. JRP is a great opportunity,! ♥ . get your facts str8 . all of uue with negative comments (1) either are hating cause they didnt makee the school . hahaha.CAN U SPELL HATER?(: ... (2) you just have no potential & made it nowere in life. so u blame JRP.(: but i say go 4 it! JRP MODEstO♥!

  • Well, @DyMeEh just proved they are ANOTHER paid shill for JRP. I work full time in the industry, and neither Smuckers nor anyone else hires non-union performers.

    JRP training is absolutely worthless.

    Google "ACTRA Toronto no cheques list" and read for YOURSELF the agents and schools considered scams within the industry. Parents need to do some research, and they need to understand that JRP pays employees to come on websites such as this one and pretend to be kids posting positive "reviews."

  • I just watched a video of someone who said it Was a scam. I'm currently taking a 7 week acting class with JRP. It seems legit to me I think its all based on opinion. If you graduate and dont go anywhere with it, sure it may seem like a scam. But for those who get their name out there, there's potential.

    But I see it from both sides. I'll keep my eyes open for any shady requests or things I didnt agree to. Nowadays you can never be too careful.

    Thanks for the video :D

  • @MsFabulous15 Sadly, you WON'T get your name out there. They hire actors to pretend to be agents and directors, and NO LEGITIMATE AGENT OR DIRECTOR would EVER have anything to do with them. You spent a ton of money for nothing, and don't be surprised if one day a real agent tells you to NOT even put their training on your resume. It is absolutely worthless.

    Their "teachers" have fewer credits than the students. (By the way, you can always check someone's credits in 5 seconds on IMDB.com)

  • @nikkicolorado Well after my class ends in a few weeks, I'll find out how far I'll go

  • No, they are not a scam, but they cost WAY too much money. If you HAVE THOUSANDS of extra bucks laying around, then sign up for it. But there are BETTER agencies that don't cost ANYTHING and even better classes that cost WAY less than that. so no it's definitely not a scam if you happen to have thousands of bucks laying around. But there are places that give you JUST as much work if not MORE that cost WAY less. A normal agency does NOT make you pay money. ONLY pay for classes NOT WITH AGENCIES.

  • Its not a scam! I go there! JRP So Cal. (:

    They have a ton of auditions. Where I go there was a Seventeen magazine audition last month. And talent agency auditions, and commercials.

  • IT IS A SCAM YOU IDIOT!!!!!

  • john robert powers is SO not a scam!!! I've been on auditions for nick, disney, 17, vouge, and tons of others. I took their classes, the teachers are so nice and I learned a lot. I can say I'm a trained professional in the acting business now. Why? because of JRP!! People, get with it, if you didn't get accepted, well I'm sorry, but it not a scam at all!

  • @bunnyfoofoo4fun thank you! hey btw, can you tell me which agency ur with? they want me to start looking for agencies and submiting my photos. So far i hav Whilhelmina PA, MMA (model managment agency), Flaunt model managment, and possibly CESD in new york. Also Xist Talent agency are in my send pictures list. thank you so much! :-)

  • @coolbeans971 Sweety, you've just been scammed. They are experts at what they do so don't blame yourself. Those are all scam and fake agencies and all those people you "auditioned" for were actors pretending to be "agents."

    Think about it; why would an agency want to represent someone like you who doesn't even live in their city? Are you REALLY going to pay thousands of dollars to get on an airplane to audition for a role with 2 lines?

    It doesn't make SENSE. Think!

  • @bunnyfoofoo4fun yes you did get classes but you never got to be on a show thats the scam the DONT MAKE STARS THEY MAKE MONEY!

  • @bunnyfoofoo4fun Just b/c they helped u doesn't mean shit! U r one of hundreds of thousands that wasn't scammed, so get over urself. Plus I have never heard of u. But supposedly jrp makes ppl the next hannah montana. Bull fuckin shit!

    Classes?! Take an acting class @ an acting conservatory. Plus anybody can create a utube account & pretend 2b a kid/teenager writing how it's not a scam.

    How do we know u don't work 4 them?

  • I agree with you! IT IS NOT A SCAM! For people that didnt get Accepted, Im sorry. I got accepted and have a HUGE future ahead of me. Dont hate on them and call them a scammer if you didnt get accepted for everyone out there. Maybe people need to work on your confidence, Nobody's perfecrt.

    Im so sorry for your Grandma Hun. Did you get accepts into JRP? Your pretty Enough! =]

  • @TheCassidyGirl You got "accepted" into JRP? You realize that EVERYONE who can afford to pay for their overpriced classes with acting teachers who are nobodies gets "accepted?"

    Did you know what the word "gullible" means?

    You don't have a huge future ahead of you because no legitimate agent would EVER be associated with JRP or IPOP and out of the thousands of kids who go to JRP and IPOP every year, not one single one has ever gotten a principal role in ANYTHING. Sorry to spoil your dreams kid.

  • I go to the Boston one. I have been accepted. I have done lots of research.  I havent really started but alot of people are saying it is a scam and alot are saying its not. Im confused because it is so much money but its been around for 90 years, and lots of success stories like Josh Duhamel. Idk The BBB didnt give me much info either so idk. Anyone have any comments? good or bad im all ears

  • NOT A SCAM!! GET A LIFE!! Thank you @coolbeans971 my grandmother used to WORK there. She was an amazing person before she passed. So CHILL.

  • @Jazzkittinn sry to hear about your granmother :-( and thank you for the support. I'm hopefully gonna get an agent to like me so i can save money to go to IMTA. My JRP supports this convention so i hope it all works out and stuff.

    And thank u soo much! it means alot!

  • I agree. JRP is NOT a scam. I went there, JRP Chicago. It's up to you to make it in the industry, they just give you the tools to do it with, they will not hold your hand through the whole way, you have to do it yourself. :) So, for all the negative comments on here, sorry you're not good enough to be in the industry, but don't hate.

  • yeah its a scam . dont try

  • john robert is a scam i leave in calgary and i heard it on the raido i called it and sign up and my sister sign up for it and my cuzzin and then he said we had to wait for i phone call and i did and no way all my 4 sister and my cuzzin sister and her sister friend got the phone call and said they made it but we have to pay like 10000 dollars or 1000 something like that and it is a scam the closed it a long time and now they open that doesnt make senese

  • HEY does your mom work for jrp im sorry but it is a scam

  • @OfficialRC ni my mom doesnt work for them and no it's not a scam. look up the definition of scam. my friend is going to newyork to be scouted in front of 300-400 agents from around the world. I got scouted by 12 agents and we r supposed to get callbcaks after everyone comes back from nyc. I'm going to nyc nxt year!

  • what work have u done in the time after your schooling???? this whole video and and everyone telling you its a scam is pointless because the only way your going to be proved right is if u have worked in any tv commercial movie music video. please i think people would like a response if u want to be proved right. :)

  • i was thinking bout going i live in philadelphia tooo but i heard all this scam tuff so i chanf=ge my mind but after hearing this i am going again and nothing can stop me ever again stop hating on jrp plz

  • (To all the haters) My 12 yr daughter is going for FREE... If its such a "scam", how do you explain that? Not a cent out of my pocket, and the Nashville location is in a REAL building, with REAL classrooms, and REAL teachers. Perhaps they saw something in my kids that was different, and maybe THATS why she goes for free? I dunno, but I don't look a gift horse in the mouth either, lol!

  • If they are real teachers tell me what college did they graduate from to make them a real teacher. Also school are not free some one has to pay for it and if you got luckie then other people are paying for it. thank you for using other people money. The bad thing about that it's becoming the american way. so please if it not fake then pay for your class so some other parents are not paying thank you.

  • You are right girl!

  • ... mhm ....

  • shut the fuck up u little cunt u dont even know what the fuck your talking about...YOUR 2 YEARS OLD BITCH

  • @josh6275 what a douche... callin a lil girl a cunt...

  • a REAL agency wouldn't make you pay money for it. hope you like when they never call you back.

  • @xXSparksOfLightXx look at its website IT TELLS YOU ITS NOT AN AGENCY, ITS A SCHOOL! YOU PAY FOR SCHOOLS!

  • fuck u it is a scam

    

  • okay i am sorry if you are posting a video saying it is not a scam please be clear because to me you are making no sense at all you aren't giving me enough details and your not giving me fact not just me everyone else that thinks its a scam

  • Your right IT'S NOT A SCAM! I take classes there too.

  • I know lots of information about acting and casting.

    All I'm going to say is that they pay you.

  • do your really think that your gunna be the next big thing when you finish JRP school???... it is a scam, they put their money in their pockets..... my brother goes there, and they learn basic stuff, and stuff you already know!

  • Okay, this is why i know it's a scam; LOOK! I have firends that are well known photographers, managers that work at Elite Model Management, one of the best agencie there is. they know what a scam is, and told me JRP is a scam. if you need classes don't take a class that has a agencie behind it. (scamsign) dont pay them they pay you. Sorry but it is a scam, they make you believe its not. there allready useing you. just be smart. there is like 10more scam sign i can tell you but comment don't fit.

  • SCAM, bet there even telling you to make this video, lol coolbeans, that's not even cute. There just useing you, and when you find out it's going to be to late, and and and then your going to think about this comment:D allright!,

  • @andandyanderson tell me y it's a scam! they arent payin me or tellin me to make this vid! hell no!

  • Look up the defenition of scam! It's paying for something and nothing comes out of it! I came out with confidence, modeling and acting experience, being scouted in July (one of the agents is frm Disney), 2 photo shoots, and a chance of going to IMTA! Yea that's a scam. NOT!!!!

  • @CanUPutMe2Bed EXACTLY!

  • @CanUPutMe2Bed That's true and California is passing a law about them using Celebrities names illegally so that they get harsher punishment...

    the DISNEY CORPORATION even said they were a scam. How can they promise you to be a Disney star if Disney doesn't even believe?

  • It depends on where u live. Mine is about $500. U guess it's a price ratio from 500 to 1,500 dollars

  • Heey,I have a audition on saturday and i was just wondering if I do get chosen how much do i have to pay for the classes cause people are telling me its about 1,000-2,000 dollers or is it free? please answer thanks.
