Total scam

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

My granddaughter did make it if you want to call it that. Its more about having money to pay for basically nothing.

A 6 mth contract of acting and modelling.

You get like two saturdays and its over.

Don't fall for the bs because thats all it is.

My granddaughter was chosen twice. All they want is your money and then they disappear.

Sharry Pathetic Flaherty

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

With the amount of time they spend trying to hide this scam online that this pathetic Sharry Flaherty would just learn how to be honest and do things with honor. Alas Casting Call Entertainment and Sharry Flaherty are the biggest scam in town.

They are the best BEST at stealing and lying. True pathetic person that Sharry Flaherty is. Teachers at this school like Art Lynch Liar Joke .. Fake Art Lynch Acting Teacher and Fake Liar Scottie Scott.

These people openly admitte3d to me that they would give me a job lying to actors who left the classes and offer them a Real Audition ( Which is really a Fake Audition to trick them into thinking that Casting Call Entertainment has something real to offer. My Pay for lying to actors was 20% of whatever the amount was they get scammed for. UNBELIEVABLE LIES .. Pathetic Liar Sharry Flaherty and Art Lynch.

Liar Art and Liar Sharry thats what I think of them.... I did not take the job.

Casting Call Entertainment - Class Action Review from Los Ranchos De Albuquerque, New Mexico

She is a con and a liar! Had the same experience almost.

If anyone would like to be involved in my and others class action suit please contact me at 702592****. Sharry and her team of fake people have crossed the line. I was very happy there until I realized she and her studio are all smoke and mirrors.

We are going to make a class action suit - she has conned and lied and now she will be exposed and given a penalty from the law. Not just these comments about Casting Call help us bring her down for the fraudulent , person to justice!

Sharry Flaherty Fake Casting Director Las Vegas

After 25 years casting films and commercials on the East Coast I moved to Vegas. I am retired from casting but still encourage my grandson to get into it and we visited Casting Call Entertainment. The scam was obvious from the start. I have seen many of these scam companies misrepresent themselves and steal money from young actors. This place is ONE BIG LIE. one after the other. I looked into the so called Casting Director Sharry Flaherty and found out she is not an LA Director. She is a lying middleged loser from Henderson nevada. She does not cast ANY legitimate projects. I spent 2 days looking into this company and the HUGE LIAR SHARRY FLAHERTY...

I found out she has lied and scammed her way from one end of vegas to the next. She has no Legitimate Professional connections and when I threw a few names at her she was a deer in the headlights. Sad to see such outright lies but she tops it. Only in Vegas (a transient city) can you get a steady flow of suckers. In any other town this lying thief would have already been out of business.

Not out to much money as I did my homework quickly I and convinced my grandson we would find a real Coach for him.

Liars and Thieves

Obvious ripp off. I have been a casting Director for over 25 years and am now retired.

Took my grandson in and they lied and misrepresented themselves. Claimed to know people I personally know well. It took only couple calls and quick internet search to see they are liars and thieving scam artists. Sharry Flaherty the Fake Casting Director who lives in a shack in Henderson NV and has NEVER cast a single LA film or any LEGITIMATE projects.

Many fake celeb photos and 100 complaints online.

Waste of money and time to go here just find legit help. this is how actors get ripped off.

Attention Actors and/or potential actors in the Las Vegas area:

There is only one acting school that gives you so much for so little money. You get all of the tools and experience you need to work in the entertainment industry in Los Angeles.

If you want to learn the reality; the nuts and bolts; gain the experience of acting, then Casting Call Entertainment is for you.

Casting Call Entertainment has provided–and continues to provide–seminars and events with professionals who have worked in the industry for years in Los Angeles. One-on-one with casting directors like: Lisa London (Hanna Montana), Peter Pappas (Two ½ Men), Erica Silverman (Criminal Minds), Andy Henry (Scream4), Helen McCready (Pandemic), Fern Champion (The Mask), just to name a few. You get to speak with them; audition for them; show them your stuff.

Currently the acting staff consist of Art Lynch, Pam Langsam, Mike Krasner, Rob Lemmons. (Please see the “classes” listing on the website for listing of their accomplishments). These are instructors fully knowledgeable in the industry to train you to reach your goals.

There is Dark Water Productions–Casting Call’s sister organization–which produces short films, full length features and gives you the opportunity to be on film!

Not only Dark Water, but other productions come through the office that require trained and ready talent for their productions.

There are many opportunities to audition for short films to get your IMDB credits started.

Where else can you get all of this, plus career head-shots, demo reels, marketing tools and education in Las Vegas? CASTING CALL ENTERTAINMENT.

You work there Toni. They are one of the biggest scams out there.

They pretend to be connected, but their big connection is the church of Scientology. That's where they get the pictures with celebs. Sharry will convince you to go down to la with her to learn "positive thinking" at the church. She gets a paycheck for every person she gets to join classes at the church.

There is way to much to write about this place so most of you will have to learn the hard way. Toni is a washed up actor who couldn't make it in la so she does nothing but short films.

Unprofessional Service Review

I must say I lost over $1,400 worth of *** with this company. Sharry Flaherty, Kevin Flaherty, Rob Lemons, Scotti Scott, (which I call her Snotty Snob) because shes a witch!!!

Also Gary, there all LOSERS!! I mean let's face it, how many times are they going to keep ripping people off and then act rude also. They are not professional coaches, they never worked in film, Oh wait I'm wrong, thats right;; they starred in Dark Water Productions their own short films that provide BAD QUALITY work and horrible trainers dome all they have ever done was worked as extras... LMAO!

Yeah ok. Look how old they all are? Their not young, and untalented most of all. If you are willing to get into real acting and training please do your research carefully, don't get caught up in this big scam!!!

Casting Call entertainment is a Enormous wadte of time and money. .

NO QUALITY Just B.S.

Casting call entertainment made promises and didnt deliver. I am beginning to realize about the scams and they are subtle and everywhere.

This is one shady business.

It appears you have to audition to be accepted by real Acting Schools. Casting Call Entertainment does the hard sell from the word go. they also dont go away. I will look for legitimate coaches with real testimonials that i can verify.

I didnt realize the canyon of difference in Real Acting Places and Scam Companies. I did hindsight homework to no avail.

They spend a lot of time defending themselves to the Scam Reporters and B.B.B. type websites.

If you quality acting and agents to contact you You have to move to L.A and get started in school here, your better off to get into Acting School or UCLA and get some theater under your belt along with other classes into the Acting field... Las Vegas is not the place to be for actors,, WAKE UP people the work is in Hollywood not Vegas!!!

Stop going to these bitter low life's and go to Real Acting School... Casting Call is not a acting school, they have several bad reviews as you can see....

Don't waste your time! You have to open your options.....

Waste of money

I went in for their "free" auditing and was then asked to pay $20! I refused to pay and i will not give them a dollar! This acting school is a waste of money. At first i thought it would be a good learning experience for my daughter because of their extensive list of films they had produced. but once i arrived i realized that all of their "films" are low quality high school films that look like they could have been made on my phone. The teachers and crew members are all college students with no experience. This would be a great place if it were in a free rec center but for the price they charge their work is complete garbage!

Wish I knew this before now.. i agree totally go to LA

Guest

The funny thing about this scam company is that the high school students they have do the work are also required to go online and refute the many complaints about Casting Call Entertainment. I cant believe that they can convince anyone to give them money

Guest

To be honest, your better off going to Los Angeles to Acting School if you want to get real training! Vegas doesn't have real Acting schools with top professionals here!

There all scams!!!!

Most directors don't hire any actors out of Vegas they have 100,0000 thousands of Actors in L.A alone.. Good luck out there, it's tough!!!

Guest

thanks for the heads up. I talked to them this morning but decided to look for complaints online before writing a check. thank you thank you

WARNING they take money and deliver bad work

I spent hundreds at Casting Call Entertainment in Las Vegas and they just had local kids in school do the actual work. I am disgusted and I need to WARN OTHER ACTORS .

Casting Call Entertainment in las vegas is a scam and Sharry and Kevin steal from talent and pretend they know the industry.

The acting world is full of scams and you have to do your homework.

I post this as a warning to all actors to watch out for industry liars and Casting call Enetrtainment, owned by Sahrry Flaherty and Kevin flaherty, is a scam.

The Gary Flynn guy also is a liar and does not know anything. if he knew how dumb he was it would at least be something but they dont even know that much.

i disagree ive been there since December of 2013. they directed so many short films that you or your child could be in

Guest

I went there as well, paid for the main package and thought it would go well. I was sexaully harrassed by a student who acts like he works there that goes by the name Tommy Imperfection, I was forced to sit on his lap and kiss him for a scene for what was said to get me out of my comfort zone but felt like it was to get his jollies.

Their work is poor and they say they are Hollywood pro's but their productions are poor and low budget. I have a real agent that doesn't charge upfront and have learned that any place like this that charges up front to rep you are nothing but scams

Guest

i knew some people in film. met some real actors in real movies on cable.

a real model with real work like magazines on the stands. real cartoonists on real networks. it's rough business but before you know it....your putting together your own designs.

i guess people always want their own style. home appearance winnER....831....plaque and all......

Guest

Rose (Fictional Character) Good luck with your future success, flourish and prosper. Make sure you surround yourself with positive people. This business is already a tough and hard enough as it is. Your negative poor attitude is only going to hold you back. You should only encourage your fellow artist. Stop spreading so much hate. It is so negative and surrounds you. You know who you are, focus on yourself and move forward in a positive direction. You need to stop putting so much energy and time into my life and put tension on how you can help yourself succeed in the entertainment business.

Stay positive... we know your going through a rough time. Remember you caused the effect, but we forgive you. Just move on... wish you lots of luck and happiness.

Everyone that knows me, knows I have never done a kissing scene. I have never had any female besides my wife sit on my lap.

Anyone reading this can find this same exact complaint on another complaint site just with a differnt name. Whoever wrote this must have no life to write such negative things and try to ruin reputations. Ask any and all actors who have worked with me and they will all tell you I have never done a kissing scene on or off camera. Also, sharry never charges you to be represented.

You can come in and get your head shots done there and get put into the data base for work.(for free) she only gets paid when you get paid. I don't know why I bothered replying to this, but it just saddens me that people will

Make up stories because of their failed careers or because they didn't get their way.

I hope who ever wrote this finds peace in their life and gets motivated to accomplish goals so they don't have time to try and ruin other peoples reputations. God Bless and stay Positive.

Tommy Imperfection.
