My 2 cents as a producer and former studio exec who hopes that new actors are given the opportunity to meet active Casting Directors who can create opportunities for those actors to enter the marketplace: Scams are 100% abusive and should not be tolerated. On the other hand, proper workshops that are educational are a great gateway to future work.

Always choose wisely when spending your hard-earned dollar! http://www.castingsociety.com/join/workshop-guidelines
