You can google "explore talent" and "scam," or use the "Find" button above to read up about it on this board.

did you search for posts on "explore talent" on this board. Doesn't look good.

RUN.
So many complaints I can't even begin. You might try here for a start:

somehow, explore talent found my email address, and they're always sending me audition notices. From what I hear, they charge you to put your headshots and res. on their site, then they wait for cds to contact them. The freaky thing about that is, you never know WHO is looking at their site (if anyone) and checking out your information.
On the other hand, I have heard of some people using them, and getting a little bit of work...nothing significant, but well, anything is good if you're just starting. I don't know how much they charge for the site, and I don't know if they take a "finder's fee" as if they were an agency. It just doesn't sound like a good idea.

Most of the complaints we've dealt with were directly related to pedophiles .. aka men who want to cast non-existant work with boys usually involving taking their shirts off so they can photograph them. All of the non professional online 'casting sites'(I use the word loosely) that are just open like that, with little or no oversight are going to be subject to that same abuse (mandy.com, craigstlist, etc.)

Our own research in the men who've been arrested and/or convicted for abusing child actors usually led to an explore talent connection at some point.

Yuck. And I thought the issues were as simple as selling information that was freely available elsewhere and outdated info! Thanks for the additional info.

DO NOT SIGN UP WITH EXPLORE TALENT

make sure you search the boards. in the little red box, make sure it says "all boards" not just this one. i wrote a LONG rant about some of their scamming methods.

if it seems too good to be true, it is.
