No modeling runway should require YOUR payment.. Ask any REAL modeling agent.

Scam scam scam , you can get experience for free ... you dont Necessarily need to spend 6k or even 50$ to get “experience”.. less than 5% if ANY of these “models” chosen will get signed by an agent... They choose alot of “models “who arent up to industry standard ..

which is why they wont get signed .. waste of time and $$, Get experience by LOCAl fashion shows & submit digitals & submissions to a real modeling agency.. High fashion models are 5’9 and have 31-24-34 Measurements ...

most if not all (unfortunately) modeling agencies require this , Yet this company is choosing 5’4 5’3 etc models who are out of shape , and yes , petite modeling is a thing ... but not if youre out of shape ...

It's all just hype. Preview staff say they have about 86% callbacks.

BUT callbacks DOES NOT mean you get signed to an agency. A callback just means they thought you were interesting enough to be considered. When it comes to signing, I would guess that about 1% of all callbacks land a contract with an agency. Although an agency made a "callback" that is just so you then email the agency and you might get a generic response saying, "we are sorry, but we are not interested" or "we're moving in a different direction." With Preview Models, you're paying for a one-time experience of a small runway, not for an agency contract.

The production show is never filled to capacity, NEVER!! And, the majority of attendees to the show are family/friends of the models. It felt like only about 25% of the agencies Preview Models claimed would be in attendance, actually showed up, and about 50% of those that did show up to the production show, showed up to the meet and greet with models. The agencies that did show up to the meet and greet it's their job to show up to these events, photograph and take the pictures back to their agency...it is not their decision to sign you.

Think about it, why would recognized and established agencies show up to a small production when they are getting hundreds of electronic submissions by aspiring models on the regular...and btw you can apply and submit for FREE!!! I meet the typical "standard" of a model, both in height and measurements, and I'm not that bad looking either, but nobody is a sure contract.

Everyone there, with the exception of the models and, possibly the designers, are making money. It's a market, a tough one at that.

Any agency or company that asks for money from you is scam. Don't fall for it! Submit for free.

You are so correct this is definitely a scam I attended the one in March 2020 they make you pay a lot of money and see agencies who act like their interested and the never call you , you shouldn’t have to pay a dime when it comes to modeling , and then they choose these certain people that don’t look close to being a model that’s cause they just want your money and just selling hopes and dreams this company is a big scam and they know it that’s why they say production company so it want fall back on them ! They stuff they doing you might as well fly yourself and pay for your own hotel and see agencies on your own smh they are horrible !!

True believe this same happened to me.

Guest

True it is a scam. I spent 5,000 dallors to go to runway show and I didnt even get signed by one company and all the people I knew there didnt get signed either they lie and steal money for nothing if you dont wanna get signed and you wanna lose confidence this is the best place to go

Guest

Very true. These people are scammers and pay people to come on here and post fake positive reviews.

But they also start arguments and post nasty comments responding to their negative reviews. That in itself is a red flag. Nah I knew it sounded sketchy when they requested money upfront before booking you for a show.

Instead of taking %20 of my booking fees. Beware of these scammers preying on young people's dreams.

Guest

Such ignorant people who write these comments. Almost comical.

Let’s see anyone of you go to Hollywood not invest a dine in yourself and expect greatness to happen. Haha. Unbelievable how ignorant people are.

Guys guess what ... things are not a scam simply because your broke.

It’s a scam. I’m signed to multiple top agencies in multiple states and countries.

The only money you should invest is for test shoots to build your portfolio and comp cards that the agency itself charges for. Once signed* with an agency they will charge agency fees taken out of of the money you receive from jobs. Agency fees.

If you want training there are multiple model coaches who will help you everything you need and will charge half of what this place is asking. You can submit to many model management companies for free and they will give you guidance

Just went tonight in Minneapolis and the prices have doubled. They are now asking for almost $5,000 per person. Super scam.

Guest

Do It!! It was honestly the best experience of my young life so far!!!

Everyone is amazing to work with ... I can’t believe some of the nasty comments on this site. They must not have been selected or they didn’t actually go thru with the 4 day event in Hollywood. I highly recommend going thru Preview Models program ...

if you are fortunate enough to get a callback from the audition of course! I was selected as the group of 20 from my city - out of 100 or so that auditioned with me that Saturday. I think of it like getting into College - you have to apply, and then IF you get in, you of course have to pay! It was totally worth it!!!

I did VIP , and got a little discount (scholarship) ... if you get the chance to do it... Do it!!! They only do 3 productions a year from what I understand.

And they only take 100 per ...

so if you are lucky enough to have an audition in your city & you get selected, then I recommend that you do whatever you can to go through with it. Thanks again Preview Models!!!

All you said was fine and dandy. I’m curious did you have an agent sign you to a contract and get legitimate jobs??

I like your positive feedback I elected for the VIP package too

As a guy who went through preview models I can honestly say it was not a scam. I understand the concern for the money part, but it’s more of a chance for exposure and it was the best time of my life.

The whole experience was amazing. From that event I had 9 callbacks from huge agencies and signed with one of them.

Guest

Preview models is NOT an agency its a production so of course you need to pay? Do your research.
