I will share my own personal experience and opinion with the public about JRP of Southfield. I found out this school is a big SCAM after I enrolled my daughter and paid $5900. They are deceptive and only wants to sell classes. They will mislead you into believing that they will get your child a paying job to off set the cost of the school fees, but this is not true.

They will never get your child a paying job. My daughter attending classes and didn't learn anything. The teacher at JRP of Southfield is lousy and lazy. The agents will never call you once they take your money for classes. My agent, Dawn called me and threatened me by telling me to stop talking to other JRP parents. I concluded that JRP is afraid to be exposed and lose business by me telling other parents about my experience. Please don't waste your time and money at JRP. They will never get your child a paying audition, all open audition you go to at JRP is a Phony set up audition to extort more money from their current clients. Please check out other acting and modeling schools before spending close to $8000. Most school like JRP will only charge $1400 and give you a lifetime membership and this also includes a photo shoot.

I sincerely hope other parent will read this and do their own research before giving any money to a acting school. If any parents feel they have been scammed, you have the right to express your feeling and frustrations.

    John Robert Powers IS a scam, no arguement there. I worked for John Robert Powers for over two years as an independantly contracted acting instructor. I taught quality and energetic classes even though I had to follow their worthless syllabus. I remember all the troubles your daughter Serena had in my class mostly because she just didn't have much raw talent to work with and when coached was obstinant and lacked creativity. I wouldn't stop trying to get John Roberts real motives out in the world but I would stop blaming their instructors because of the unachievable expectations you place on your beautiful but already bitter daughter.

    The only reason I had my daughter attend JRP is to have the highly qualified instructors to teach my daughter about the industry but JRP clearly lied and is misleading all the very desperate parent by taking their hard earned money. I asked the talent scout at JRP before they took my hard earned money if they thought my daughter had potential but they don't care about giving out honest opinions but only taking our money. If JRP had an actress like Julia Roberts in their office, they couldn't do anything to make her successful. JRP lacks connection and continue to lie and deceive many people. They told me that my daughter's acting instruct... more >>

    John Robert Powers really accepts everyone, when they said they wanted me to take classes (developmental is for normal, elite is for people they see have more potential) I felt extremely excited that they wanted ME to participate in their elite classes, but my friend who also auditioned just for fun (she is a horrible actress and she even agrees) was accepted too and even in the elite classes she told them no but I accepted the invitation, but what they failed to mention in the brief assemebly was that you had to PAY for the classes, at first my mom was like No but then she said she just wanted to see the prices, so the next day they gathere... more >>
