One Source Talent Appointment Review from Hicksville, New York
Ok so I NEVER SIGNED UP FOR THIS. But guess what I get an email telling me about some appointment I never scheduled .
And guess what?! THE EMAIL HAD MY FIRST AND LAST NAME. And my little brother got one too. HES NOT EVEN OLD ENOUGH TO BE ON THE INTERNET AND HE GOT ONE..TO MY EMAIL....WITH HIS FIRST AND LAST NAME TOO.My other brother got one sent to my email too , and it had his first and last name.
At first I was like I was reasearcging modeling and acting jobs for teens, but I never signed up for anything...so that's weird. So I was curious... I reasearched it.
EVEN SOMEONE WHO USED TO WORK FOR THEM CALLED THEM SCAMMERS. Please in the comments tell me if they have emailed you but , you never contacted them
One Source Talent Work Experience Review from Bellevue, Washington
I worked for them for a week the director donna was very rude. They allow thier employees to lie to customers during the 2nd and final interview.
Everyone is selected but are told to put the customer on hold and make them think that we have to get the office directors approval on if we can bring them aboard as new talent when actually we would come back to the phone and lie and say the director had approve when we never even gave to get approval at all they just want your money that's the 2 bd phone interview they want 188.95 then if you pay you go on your 3 rd interview where they try to get more money .
Insiders tip RUN they are A Scam they actual allow thier staff to lie to get the sale. Don't go to the open call .
One Source Talent Services Review from Hiram, Georgia
I have been with Nine9 Agency for about 4 months now and have had nothing but good come out of it. They have helped me get numerous gigs and I am actually having to pick and choose what and where I can work...There workshops are great.
I actually met one one one with Lauren Hudson who has helped me with monologues... I have nothing bad to say about the agency..its what you put into it..
You have to do some work if you want to be submitted.
One Source Talent Talent Agency Service Review from Washington, District Of Columbia
First interview was cool but it wasn't really an interview I suspected to have. they didn't ask many questions but they took pics of me and measurements.
Got a call back.. Came to my 2 interview. Photo shoot set up and all.. Not many got called back..
Finally got to the back and I'm being told what I would fit into doin such as commercial and advertising then wanted more pics but before I even did the shoot.. Bam some lady come at me with a $240 starting fee and they need it right then and there.. I'm like I don't have it now and she was like well we can't start anything so we made another appointment for a payment.
I did more research on nine9 and again I see new stuff from people saying they only wAnt your money and you won't hear from them again so I call and ask about to speak to the lady I last encountered with there and she got smart saying just try again next auditions and all this ***.. I refused to work with them scammers and there rude staff
One Source Talent Services Review from Warren, Michigan
ONE SOURCE TALENT IS NOW CALLED NINE9 the unagency. THEY ARE A SCAM!!
Everything they say is a lie and read off a script. They say they have rebranded and everything is different but it's the EXACT SAME. Nothing has changed!!
They just changed their name because of all their bad reviews. If this helped save at least one person from wasting their time and money wth this fave company I have did my job.
Scam
A gentleman walked up to me and gave his card and told me to scheduled an appointment for an open audition. First of all, I've done modeling before and NEVER had to pay anything!
They changed their name too probably because they scammed so many people. They ask for $1500.00 up front for pictures which someone else told me they paid and never receive their pictures !
TOTALLY scam ! Don't waste your time and please save your money!
- Upfront cost

We are our brother's keeper
I received a call stating that they were interested in interviewing my daughter. I was half a sleep but agreed to a date and time (03/12/2016 @12:45pm.
I asked my husband, who answered the phone, how did they get our number. He did not know and neither did I. Well I received a text stating to type "yes" to confirm my appointment on tomorrow. I Google the address provided in the text and One Source Talent came up with the first link stating "SCAM".
after reading comments and reviews, I texted the number back (832) 271-**** advising not interested and to remove my number.
Thanks for the HEADSUP!!! Text originally came from (248)764-**** with an associated number (877) 976-**** advising to text back to number (832) 271-****
One Source Talent - Photo Shoot Review from North Lindenhurst, New York
If this is really one source it is definitely a scam! I can not believe these *** are still in business!
They approached me in the Malle for my daughter who at the time was about 6 or 7 she is now 10! Got there they told me about all their "success " stories and I need pics not looking them up I believed them and payed them about 900 dollars for a photo shoot for my eldest and middle girls! Went back for the pics and got hit with the monthly charge for the site!
IT IS A SCAM! Trust me!
One Source Talent - Photo Shoot Review from Dallas, Texas
I sent One Source Talent of Irving tx a photo of me and they called back the next day! I had to arrive by 6:45pm went into a room filled w/others, the director was a woman named Diana w/a strong accent, she sounded like a scam and not professional at all but who am I to judge.
Diana then explained everyone will not make it. They called my name to take a head shot & tell a little bit about myself. The woman name was Elizabeth, she then told me to come tomorrow at 3:30pm. I arrived, spoke to Elizabeth & she stepped out for about 20-30mins, came back & said they would love to work w/me.
I was excited until she told me I had to pay $495 & the $40 was not included. I've heard many times you should never pay up front if they want to work w/u.
So I left & they told me they will not hold my paper if I do not pay by the next day. Now reading these comments I realized they told everyone yes but split them up in times so no one will see everybody again!!!
Very suspicious, not trustworthy
Ok so I went to an interview for these people and just after like a 3 minute interview the lady told me that she had "selected me to come back" (hooray!), but it seemed weird since she hadn't really asked me anything. I did another interview with them over the phone and again it was very short and the questions were simple things like "who inspires you in this industry?" and "how would you describe yourself?" At the end of the interview the lady said her and her "casting director" had decided to accept me as a client or whatever.
She then told me I would need to make a payment pretty much immediately, and that it was non refundable. When I asked if I could have some time to think about it she said "unfortunately we have a lot of clients right now and we would need your payment immediately" and that's when it didn't feel right. She then said "if you have to think about it then maybe you don't really want to work in this industry" and I said "I guess you're right, unfortunately I'm going to have to decline" and then she immediately hung up on me!
The whole thing was very suspicious and all the people sounded like they were reading from a script. I honestly feel like I dodged a bullet.
THEY ARENT SCAMMERS
When I went there everything happened like everybody said I was in when I came to the money we need to pay $500 and I was like wtf but we did it anyway and that was good because I am getting a lot of jobs and those who say they at scammers you guys didn't give money so they can't be and you expect it to be $10 this is the real world to have an agent you have to pay money so I'm am happy that I payed because I'm in a bunch of stuff this summer good day

One Source SCAM
Over a year ago I got an email from these people, and didn't really know where they got it from. Anyway, they asked me to go in and talk to their casting directors.
I was in LA that day anyway. So I did stop by thinking it would only take a few minutes, then they had me watch some dumb video, sit around for a half hour and in a room with tons of wannabee actors and models. Then finally this exec type woman walks out and says, "We have decided to go with you and represent you." I worked at a Talent Agency for years so I knew the cold cattle call type thing wasn't how it was done in Hollywood. She talked about the materials they needed to advertise me with and in order to sell me.
I was like, I already have a few good head shots. And she said, "You need everything new." I was like, uh.... But she went on to try and pitch me the contract to sign. It was $998.00 dollars!!!
She was very pushy and asked for my credit card. I was like, *** no woman! She tried everything to get my credit card from me. LOL I knew then that they had wasted me time and one hour lost.
To make a long story short, I left that office. Very FAST. One Source talent is a SCAM. To all...
BEWARE! Another thing, what I have done since. I've been cast in several films since, including a role in an Indie feature film. And I played a Detective on a TV series.
Did I pay $998.00 for this?
Nope. I got paid about that much for my gigs though, and without giving them money.
Preferred solution: Let the company propose a solution
This Company is ***
I received an email from them on behalf of my son and they asked me to come in for an interview. Like many of you, I had to watch the video and then they called him in for the interview, he took a few pictures and they sent you on your way.
A few days later they call you back for a second interview where they hit you with the "our corporate office was very impressed and want to work with you however here is our fee." Like a fool, I went ahead and paid the money thinking this would be a great opportunity for my son. I gave them a debit card number that I knew was going to be cancelled in a few days to put on file. So they did not get any more money from me. I received the same type of call about two months later asking me to come in for the initial interview.
I tried to explain I was already a paid member but no one understood. I SNAPPED. I exploded verbally on each and every person I called. There is no freaking corporate office all of that was lies and I voiced my feelings as such.
I further advised that I was not paying for *** so stop calling me about having a problem with my credit card, or for him needing additional pictures for another $350.00 or whatever.
I said until he gets a casting and a job doing something to make money, I was not about to spend any money. We still have not gotten a job but my son has gone on a few castings for free.
One Source Talent Services Review from Richmond, California
I have had them contact me several times about my daughter. And just recently under 9nine.
I new it was the same company before i even looked them up.
I never went because of all the reviews i read however my daughter is represented by another talent agency and they told me i could see any agency i wanted but if anyone asked for money before they booked and got paid for anything its not good. You should never have to pay money upfront.

Hello, they sent my son who is 11 years old an email stating that he also signed up. First of all my son has no email and he never signed up as well.
After reading about this company I'm so good. They will not get any of my money.
They emailed me And I NEVER contacted them. I don't know how they got my info.
