Barbizon Of Knoxville

I have cast many talent from this Barbizon for use in jobs and audition submissions, and have even met with some that were in the program but not ""learning"" - expecting modeling and acting to be easy when it is work. Yes if you are not polished and ready to properly represent a business for a paycheck the agent will turn you down or recommend more classes - learning something isn't a scam and if the agency doesn't fit you - try another. It doesn't cost to join their agency, only for those that aren't ready to work they recommend preparation. I'd never align myself with a scam, and they have been in business for years and provide me professional talent who are ready and willing to work! The staff is beyond nice and helpful, and show up for modeling events we hold in town just to give their models encouragement. I rank this agency as excellent! more

I spent my highschool savings on this shitty ""modeling school"". The classes teach you baby stuff, like makeup ( which is like 20 yrs old), and runway ( u can learn that from any model). The staff wasn't friendly @ all and just ""taught"" the classes for money. The auditions are scams. Once you sit for hours and they call u back and say u make it- they also include that u have to go through the 3k classes to join that agency! After I ""graduated"" they never called or got me any jobs! I booked some of my own photoshoots on modelmayhem .. I'm now looking for a Real Agency in Knoxville. Barbizon was a Scam and they just want your $$$ An Agency is supposed to Make U Money, so if they ask for it upfront- its a SCAM Pros: learned a lesson about modeling scams Cons: lost money and wasted time more
