| Celebrity Actors Camp CAC Scams star struck children into spending college funds and life savings!!! Warning!!! Internet |
| 11th of Jun, 2011 by User145840 |
Today I took my daughter to this AUDITION and while it seems to be a legit summer camp it still seems to be a sort of scam... It does seem that I will be getting a phone call tomorrow because.. and not to seem rude but my kid was the best dressed and had her own monologue memorized.. While other children were misbehaving and looked sloppy... We most likely looked the part of someone who could pay their fee to take this acting camp... My husband who heard the radio ad (I missed it) signed her up and got her excited while not asking me first or trying to research it.. (He said the ad stated that only the first 200 callers would be signed up) He then decided he wanted to go through with it and booked hotel reservations... He told me that it was an audition for a part with Disney... Nothing about an acting camp that he was aware of... Its about 1 hour from my house so I though if anything else she would get to see the SPECIAL GUEST star and have some fun while in Orlando... While my daughter has taken acting classes in the past I understand that they do have to audition for a non-entry level acting class typically.. (same goes for ballet and other classes that were available) I expected this because I thought there is no way they will take any random child no matter how much raw talent they have to become hired without any acting type of classes... And I also figured that it would most likely cost something... But how much? Well level four is 5900... But do I need level four?When we arrived at the "2nd stage" of the audition process we were interviewed in a very loud crowded Ballroom so hearing everything said perfectly was near impossible.. Not to mention the fast talk of the interviewer to go along with it.. Well I am sure you can imagine.. But what I gathered is that they really wanted people to take at least the level three or four which ranges from 4-6k give to take a 100 bucks... We then took our pamphlet and went ahead and let our child have her audition that she practiced all week which was conducted alone with Mr. Moseby from "The Suite Life of Zack and Cody" and "The Suite Life on Deck" Phill Lewis.. So that alone was worth at least the hotel cost because she received one on one time... She had a lot of fun this weekend.. However this seems more like a scam because they lure you in with FALSE RADIO ADS... (Do they really need to lie?) and then while I was waiting to be interviewed I went on my iPhone going onto the website looking for prices... When we went through almost the entire process THEN we finally got the price... Why isn't the information on the website? Why is the CAC calendar blank if there is classes in July? Overall the entire informational process was very vague... (what is there to hide?) I still don't know if they want her to travel to LA or not for the classes... Is the airfare or head shots included in all the prices? The pamphlet is also vague... All levels say they will meet with a Casting Director and have an Agent Showcase... But I found a post of someone saying they took the classes and didn't get that... That only the level fours got those things... Is there a lie in there somewhere also? This person on yahoo answers states: Hilary up there, is actually cassie lynne corsaro(find her on facebook), she works for adrian r'mante celebrity actors camp, she is the coordinating director, sheorganizes the funs days and stuff like that so she has to says what she says or else she'll get fired, but she wouldnt want that cause adrian pays big. but i would say go with the level 4 package. thats the closest you'll get to get an agent. I went to the weekend camps, and the summer camp and I didnt even get an agent..oh btw dont go to the summer camp, its not worth the $3500 which doesnt include housing, food, or the tickets for fundays. they dont even serve lunch during camp, you have to bring it yourself or get your parents to drop it off for you, its unorganized, the studio is tiny and filthy, the end showcase is held at the tinyiest theater i've ever seen and theres no stage, there was a perfect stage for the showcase at the same location but they said they couldnt afford it. wtf? anyway its "the elephant theatre company. Back to before, the weekend camps, dont get you agents, they just come here for show and just to check it out, nobody from my weekend camp got an agent or even get considered by one, and they're all really talented.the weekend camp is basically leading up to the audition for adrian for his summer camp.not everyone got to audition for some agents, for our camp, adrian brought in other CD and agents for just the level 4s.
Source(s):
myself if you want to know more, i can talk to you personally. please trust me, i want you to know the truth, i thinks it fair, even though nobody told me. So unless I buy the level four package my kid doesn't really get seen by anyone? Isn't that what parents are paying for? so its 6k plus at least 100 bucks a week for a furnished place with everything included... but that's 2100 dollars... So for the entire experience its 8k? Not counting food or gas... Wow.. really? And that still doesn't mean the cost of a flight and car rental is included.. Last time I checked the car rental rates per week is about 250.. And I have heard recently you can get a flight for under 400... for at least 2 people to go that's double! So far if flights are not included that's 9,550... Still not counting gas or food... If we didn't fly it would be around 300 to drive gas one way... You're still talking 8600.... If you're loaded and have money to burn.. and really want your child to have a summer acting class with celebrities for about 10k go for it... But really I am expecting that phone call tomorrow... Because we look like we could afford it... Imagine if I had two or more kids going? 20k acting classes for the summer? I am a house wife.. So I don't work... So I have time to do this.. But what if I didn't? I lose work too? That can cost thousands more... I have no idea what these people are thinking... maybe 1% of parents have enough to do it.. What if a family is scrapping to get the money together... Giving up college funds and savings for important things... For a lovely summer with some celebrities? I looked all over the internet searching for scam alerts.. Only really finding a couple.. And some talk about stuff that happened back before 2009... And also the most discouraging thing I find is the same success stories being used to dispute negative posts like the one I am about to post... All stories on their website... All being disputed by the same people over and over... Here is a hint while reading someone nice being said.. Does it have the same name at the end of the posts over and over? Fontana... Fontana is a town in California.. I've been there... And its not a very nice place... Its average at best... AUTHOR: AnnieB - Miami I saw over and over... Someone from Spokane, WA... Cassie Corsaro
Co-Ordinating Director
Celebrity Actors Camp
[email protected] Cassie seems to be a real tool... She consistently calls anyone saying negative things EVIL... How is being cautious being evil? I would say if anything you are the EVIL one.. And all celebrities associated with this scam.... Whats wrong with you lady? Cassie I know your going to read this because you C**k Block every negative thing said... It also appears you have things removed from websites as well and then spamming in its place all the success stories you have.. Which is about a dozen at best... You would think after doing this for at least 3 years you could have more than a dozen success stories? This means to me that not even 1% of children get discovered through your talent school... (about the same rate of CHANCE would be) Does that seem worth 10k to anyone? Also Cassie.. and Anyone else reading this... NO REAL COMPANY USES YAHOO MAIL FOR A BUSINESS E-MAIL ACCOUNT... Anyone trying to sell you something online at all.. If they are using a free e-mail provider they are a scam... Also on the official web site under contact info all there is, is a phone number... Anyone can make that website.. Including my husband who is a web designer/developer... That doesn't make it legit.. and what do I see? NO ADDRESS OF THE COMPANY TO SEND SNAIL MAIL TO... and yet another yahoo mail account.... WHAT? Yes!! Just another yahoo mail account... You are ripping people off making 300k in 3 weeks and you can't even get a real e-mail account? Look yourself everyone!!! The e-mail is [email protected] .... If anyone has bought this summer camp and they don't feel like they got their monies worth you really need to report it to the Better Business Bureau... Something has to be done to inform the general public of this... It should be stopped or at least changed how business is being conducted.. I find it very unprofessional... And who wants to pay 10k for 3 weeks with people who are so unprofessional? If you want your child to have fun at a summer acting camp there are camps that are under 3k and that INCLUDES food, room and board... And many have celebrities that also show up... Also if you feel you must use this one.. I would go for the one under 2k and plan on spending money to fly/car rental or drive there... Plus food and gas... that cuts it at least in 1/2 to about 5k... Don't blow savings on this!!! As I stated before do you really think your child is going to be the >1% who gets discovered? Why can't that happen with another acting summer school where you also get to meet celebrities and agents? DON'T SPEND COLLEGE FUNDS ON THIS!! Save the money for college!! These people are just preying on children and families dreams to become stars... If you do want to spend some money on this.. Don't expect anything more than your child to meet celebrities and have a memorable summer... And the celebrities who are allowing themselves to be associated with CAC you should really reconsider.. Your going to destroy your reputation like Adrian R'Mante... Is that what you want? And if you are knowingly enabling these horrible things to be happening to these families is that what you would have wanted? And for the families who have already blown college funds and life savings on this and haven't made your money back.. It is time to speak now.. If you don't you are just as bad as the people who are scamming if not worse because you know whats happening and you're doing nothing to stop it... You're being a BYSTANDER... I choose to lead through example!!! As should all the GOOD people in this world!!! Don't be another victim!!! Research everything!!! Also if they wont take checks, money orders or credit cards to hide a paper trail.. This is also a good indicator it is a scam... I am starting to wonder if this is a legit business at all!!! Everyone I would like to advise you to remember.. In the end it wont matter how much money you have or your status... Your GOOD actions and the LOVE you put out is all that will matter when you die... I hope you know that Cassie... It seems you have sold your soul... You and everyone else who knows this is happening and you do NOTHING to help stop it!!! Including you celebrities who are enabling this to continue.... Do the right thing!!! Peace and Love,

Celebrity Actors Camp Delivers a SUCCESS STORY ONCE AGAIN!!
AUTHOR: CAC - LA (USA)
SUBMITTED: Monday, June 13, 2011
Hey Xena, A person who speaks from ignorance and no foundation for your claims. A few things, it is not a summer camp in LA(LA Camp is exclusive and not open to the public) but it is a local TV and Film camp in Orlando for 6 weeks and our 4th time in this city with tons of success stories!! Please google these Orlando and Miami Campers success stories for your knowledge: Leah Lewis "Madison High", West Delarosa "Renee" and Suzana Hoyos "Nickelodeon." I would give you dozens of our campers who have booked commercials but they do not post press releases on commercials. We have only been in Orlando for one year and we have a camper about to star in a New Disney Channel Show called "Madison High" which is the next Glee type of show for The Disney Channel. PLEASE TELL ME HOW THIS YOUNG ACTRESS WOULD HAVE GOTTEN THIS OPPORTUNITY WITHOUT CELEBRITY ACTORS CAMP. Wow, sure seems like a scam to me. You are just the 3rd person in the 3 years, of our existence, that has written the same type of negative blog...that's not bad for 3 years!! We understand there are going to be people like you out there to take down a good product but all in all it's just YOUR opinion of the prices and audition process but NOTHING about the quality of the camp program.(because you never participated in the camp) You claim we only have a dozen of the same positive blogs so I decided to provide you with a completely different list of positive reviews for your knowledge and records. You said it yourself, you researched us and can't find any negativity about us but just the same complaint 3 times. "The Audition Process" Well, we choose to audition and pick our kids for this opportunity because we work with top of the line industry professionals and it's important that we don't waste their time on who we put in front of them. To ALL the readers and Xena please enjoy the Letters of Appreciation below which are directly from our families who ACTUAL participated in the camp.(unlike Xena or should i say competitorna) All we can do is continue to deliver a great service to our young performers and we will despite haters like Xena. Btw Xena, please read what you actual wrote in your negative blog that contradicts your daughters experience: Xena says, "I let our child have her audition that she practiced all week which was conducted alone with Mr. Moseby from "The Suite Life of Zack and Cody" and "The Suite Life on Deck" Phill Lewis.. So that alone was worth at least the hotel cost because she received one on one time" CAC provided that one on one time in front of REAL Disney Channel TV director. Xena says, "She had a lot of fun this weekend" CAC provided that fun your daughter experienced at the audition for the camp and that was just for the audition so imagine how much FUN she would have in the camp. But no need to imagine because I'm going to provide Letters of Appreciation from families who actual participated in the camp unlike you. Xena says, "However this seems more like a scam" I'm so happy you said SEEMS like a scam because this is strictly YOUR OPINION about the camp and NOT FACTS because how would you know. The interesting thing is you actually think this opportunity takes place in Hollywood but if you were really paying attention then you would have known that this is for a 6 week camp in Orlando AND our 4th time back. If we were truly a scam then do you think Florida would let us back in with no problem. Again, I believe you come off as a uneducated and knowledgable blogger and speak with no facts but only your opinionated speculation. Enjoy the letters below:
Judy Pettengill O'Neill Adrian, A heartfelt thank you coming your way from Caitlin O'Neill's mom from Prov. She is signing with Model Club Inc. and we owe it all to you and your training at your awesome camp. Caitlin and I look at the world in a different and better way after meeting you and Sandra! Keep doing what you are doing. The world needs more people like you two!
"Hi, Adrian, Eric got a call back from Jai Saint.. I was so excited!! Thanks for everything, I know that this is an opportunity directly from the Lord, nothings by chance. Eric is so overjoyed and I want to personally say your a great person for giving these children the needed extras to succeed in this business.. Blessings to you..." Contessa
Caitlin O'Neill Thank you so much!! Dear Adrian and Sandra, Thank you so much for an amazing experience at CAC. I enjoyed every single second of it! Not to mention that I learned so much! Sandra: you helped so much at the front desk. Also your emails that you sent out each week were fabulous and oh-so helpful. When ever I had a question you always had the answer. Thank you so much for being a part of this wonderful camp and helping out so much. Adrian: I honestly can not thank you enough for helping me out with my acting and for starting this camp. I learned more then I ever thought possible in those 6 weeks. I was so eager to learn something new each week. Monday through Friday seemed to drag on because I was so excited to come to camp. Even though the camp days were long, when ever it would be time to go home I never wanted to leave. This experience was the best experience of my life. When I was doing my monologue, “Bruised”, I was getting so frustrated because each week everyone would tell me to do something different with it. I tried to take bits and pieces of each person’s advice but then I felt like I was over doing it and I was “over-acting.” Finally when I got to work with you all you said to me was “don’t act it, just speak the lines.” As I was using your advice, I got so emotional with it and my eyes were filling up with tears! At that moment, I realized that I wasn’t even acting…it became so real and that’s why I got emotional. I could have never done that with out you and I thank you so much for it. I will never forget you advice and helpful tips. I am most definitely going to use then towards my upcoming acting career. I am so grateful to be exposed to those agents and have this wonderful experience and I really can thank you enough. I hope to keep in touch and see you soon. Caitlin O’Neill
I am writing this review to say how impressed I am with the Celebrity Actors Camp, Adrian R’Mante, Sandra Winebarger and his entire staff. I have an 8 yr. old daughter who is an only child and has always been rather shy. She heard the radio ad promoting the camp and begged me to call. We went for the audition the next day where she met Phill Lewis. She was so excited when we left. She said “Mom, I want to be an actor. I know I did a great job.” She did get a call the next day inviting her to camp. We decided to let her attend. The four weekends of camp were great. Each day she learned so much that prepared her for her showcase in front of agents from LA, NY and Boston. Just one day after the showcase she received a callback from an agent. She went for another audition in front of his staff and signed with them. I saw confidence in my child that I had never seen before. The agent told me that he had never seen such talent in children that had truly never acted before. He attributed it to the excellent training they received at the camp. I would definitely recommend the Celebrity Actors Camp to any child that has or would like to be involved in acting!
Celebrity Actors Camp is a "Grand-Slam"! Seeing the confidence which Celebrity Actors Camp has inspired in Jonathan is well worth the investment I made. The camp is all about positive growth. I am astonished to see that within a few weeks after the C.A.C. experience, Jonathan approached his professional interview, with Proctor & Gamble, as if he owned it, and incredibly he believed in himself so much that it helped him land the job. The C.A.C. experience has helped Jonathan build more than acting skills. You guys have something genius going on. I never dreamed we could have acquired so much knowledge & experience about this business in such a short span of time. Thanks always for being so straight forward, Jonathan's dad. Mr. Gonzales
Adrian and Sandra Danielle has an interview next Thursday with Modelclub inc with Tim. Adrian thank you so much for helping my daughter's dream to come true !!! We love you guys so much! Please tell Chester Thanks WITH OUR LOVE Danielle Ratchford-Sanzi and Mom
"Just a short note to say thank you! We had an exciting time in L.A. CAC has opened exciting possibilities for Zack like an audition with 2 Disney casting directors; and meetings with a remarkable talent manager in L.A. and a prominent agency in Miami. You have a gift of norturing and molding young talents. You and Sandra are not only gorgeous but also a truly AWESOME couple!"
Thank you... You really are a saint. A latino-faced, jewish last named ( origionally) saint :) . I think I am a little blown away by all of this .I am sure that you and Sandra get kudos all the time, but you guys are amazing to me. The fact that you have done and continue to do the things you do in the business and yet you remain to seem completely grounded and are willing to share your knowledge with others and are so stinking genuine about it all just makes me feel like I am in a dream. I always knew that Autumn could do something with her talents- but when you get caught up in the day to day- you never really know if that is something you reach for at that moment or you just wait for it to present itself to you and slap you upside the head. :) Things still do not feel real when I think about everything- just the camp alone and the fact that you are so experienced and nice and you see something in Autumn that has amazing potential. I just want you to know that you are greatly appreciated and I hope you are blessed beyond belief with all of your endeavors. Thanks so very much! Respectfully- Judy Hudgins
Hi Sandra...just a quick note for you, Adrian, Chester & Phil... I commend the program that you are developing through the Celebrity Actors Camp. It was a difficult financial decision for us to make and we were not quite sure how "for real" this program was not to mention how intimidating the entertainment industry is in general. We don't know if Oleg-Antonio may be a future Adrian however, we do know that this is the first activity that he is so excited and committed to. We adopted Oleg from an orphanage in Volgograd, Russia at age 2. He has had a difficult time with language & reading which is why we made the decision to hold him back in first grade. Given this reality, for us to see him interested in "learning lines" & "creating monologues" is just amazing. The brochure & marketing materials do not do justice to the educational curriculum contained in the program. Betty & I are very happy with this decision and thought you should all know! Happy Holidays to all...we look forward to 2011! Loreyne Alicea Betty Del Rio Hi Chester, Just wanted to let you know that Justin gave you credit today. He had a print job with Nike this morning and after it was done, they told me that he did really great and is a very good listener. In the car on the way home, I complimented him on what they said. He said "I remembered what Chester said". He told me about what you taught regarding repeating back to the director/photographer the direction they give to make sure you understand. Thanks for being such a great teacher! Thought you'd like to hear that he is really applying and thinking about what he has learned... Hope you have a Merry Christmas! See you in a few weeks. ~Terra Howell
Hey Adrian! Hey, I just wanted to tell you hi before your email was blown up and you lost this one. I saw you on the "Suite Life" with my gf's little brothers the other day and I have to tell you I'm still pretty amazed about meeting you. If I do ever make acting into a career, god willing, I hope I can do half of what you did for us for someone else. I don't wanna sound extremely corny but you are a great role model and I take in consideration the biggest advice you've given us everyday."treat everyone with kindness, because you never know who you'll meet" my two brothers are leaving to California on Monday for a week, I told James to try calling the photographer and/or meet as many people as he can. I'm working so I can't make it, but I am making a resolution to take everything I do a step further and I do plan to start acting more even if I have to take more acting classes. But I'm just sending this as a little update on life after camp, I wish we could've made it over summer but things happen for a reason and I just wanted to say thanks again for all your help. I hope you, your wife and your family have a great holiday :) James
Thank you. I wanted to express to you and all of the members of camp what a honor for the children who do attend. My daughter Jazmin, has always had a dream but after this, she feels as if it can be possible. She feels she is in the right hands and in the right path. As for this weekend, she is counting the days for Saturday. Thank you so much! Yazmin
YO ADRIAN- THANKS! :P You know what's really cool? I just had a moment. LIKE A REAL emotional moment. It really struck me how everything happens for a reason. Fate is SO overwhelming. I was thinking how lucky I was to take a chance and stumble accross your camp. I WAS SO LUCKY to experience what I did this last summer. And now I am taking it to the next level. I am currently CAST in an independent FILM. I am also working on attending a University (currently at comm college) by next fall or spring. I am so overwhelmed at how lucky I got- with everything. And I say lucky because I don't believe I deserve this life. I don't think I worked HARD ENOUGH for my life. What have I done to be so lucky- to fall head over heals for the performing arts? It's like "how dare I" you know? How dare my life be great when so many others have it worse? What about the kids who never had an outlet like theatre and live in shambles? It's hard for me to accept my fortunes but it's not hard for me to appreciate those who helped me along the way. Thank you so much Adrian. Thank you for being real and truthful with me. Thank you for being a great teacher. You ARE someone who deserves the best. If you're human, and I know you are, you have doubts. I want to remind you to keep going strong. When I think of camp and how you and Sandra personally helped me, it makes me feel SO greatful. Wishing you the best of luck this year. PS Hug Sandra for me. Rosie

Adrian, Lanie made her small stage debut tonite in a play called Candyland and was awesome! She did two shows and in between shows as people were being seated for the second show, she got on stage and started in on a speel about her talent, which as we all know is acting. Someone in the audience asked her who is her hero or mentor and she didnt hesitate when she said this: " His name is Adrian R'Mante and he's an actor in LA. He's the coolest guy on tv and has taught me so much. I'm going to see him next summer to learn even more!" I was blown away and actually got teary eyed! She may have only had a small part but she nailed it and got lots of positive feedback from a lot of people. She was beaming with pride as were we when the cast came up on the stage for the finale and she received flowers from her Grandparents which sent her over the moon! Just thought you should know, hope all is well with you and Sandra! - Amy Pilling
Dear Adrian,
I would love to go to the summer camp, but my parents will not allow me to because of certain reasons. So, I'm writing you this letter only to tell you how very much I appreciate your time that you put in to, not only me, but everyone at the camp. This was an amazing opportunity and I am so grateful that I had the chance to be taught by a wonderful actor like yourself. I learned so much just on the first day. I remember you telling us that the Celebrity Actors Camp could change our lives. I also remember thinking to myself, "Psh! Good luck!" I didn't really know what you were talking about at the time, but now, I understand. Every time I meet someone new, the first thing that comes out of my mouth is, " Hi! How are you today?" Another way that your camp has changed my life is that I'm not nervous with really anything! It's my first year to sing in my youth group at church, and I usually would find it hard to perform in front of a crowd of teens who are older than me. Now, I've really learned to not care what people think. I feel more confident in who God has created me to be. That's only a few ways that your camp has changed my life so greatly. What your doing is amazing! Giving kids a chance to live their dream! And I just want to thank you for giving me the chance to come so close to living mine.
Thanks again and God bless, Joei Whisenant
Adrian,
I wanted to share with you about the extremely positive impact your camp has had on my family’s life. When my son, Brooklyn, was invited to join I had no idea what to expect. My wife and I were just parents who wanted to support the dream of our child and knew little about the industry or how to make the best path for our son. We had tried submitting him to an agent here or there before, but never had any response. Brooklyn is such a high energy young child that I feared he would not be able to pay attention long enough to really benefit from each of the workshops offered. My wife and I are truly appreciative to have been able to sit in and take notes for our son since he could not do so himself. It was amazing to see the rapid growth of not only our son, but also every child that was a part of the camp. It became very clear that this was the place for our son to learn about his passion and upgrading to level 4 was an obvious choice. After submitting Brooklyn to the agents on your list the way you instructed, the amount of agents who contacted us about Brooklyn was surprising and the numbers are still rising! He now has multiple legitimate agents that didn’t charge him anything upfront and is auditioning for commercials and print work regularly. Then something else incredible happened, I used the same tips you gave out at the camp and went on a few auditions of my own. I ended up booking several roles in independent movies and I have recently been casted for another! My son and I are proof that what you are doing works! I know in my heart that your camp will continue to grow and offer great opportunities for those who are passionate about their art! You have created a beautiful program and I am truly thankful for all the hard work you and your staff put forth. Sincerely, Robert Willard
Hi Sandra, Adrian and Celebrities!
We are actually in L.A. right now because some exciting stuff has been happening for Chloe since taking your truly amazing camp!! She signed with a manager, who we have known for years & whose son is starring in the next 3 Spy Kids movies. He sent us to Dallas to shoot Chloe's head shots with a Los Angeles photographer, who happened to be shooting in Dallas a weekend a couple of weeks ago. They turned out amazing (if i do say so myself)and that's when her manager decided to take her on. He then submitted her for the role of the young Mena Suvari in the new NBC series, The Cape, and they asked her to come audition in L.A. (it was today), with just a small group of girls. It was very exciting, because she was one of the few that they called directly into be filmed during the audition, while the others trying out had to be filtered through another casting director to see if they wanted to put them on film. If that wasn't exciting enough, her manager also spoke with Meridith Fine, at Coast to Coast, (she represents his son) about possibly representing Chloe or at least getting some advice. He said he respects Meridith so much that he wanted to get whatever feedback, even if negative (she had told his other 3 kids they didn't fit into her agency), because it would let us know what direction we should go. She actually loved Chloe's look and personally called Howard Meltzer at Disney's 'Shake it Up" and got Chloe an audition with him. So she had back to back auditions on her first time out! She was completely calm and enjoyed every second of it and it REALLY helped to have had all the great training from Adrian and the rest of the camp crew! We will keep you updated, and should be back by next weekend so will see you then! Thanks!! -Liz and Chloe
Hey Adrian just wanted to say another thank you for everything you've done for Lanie, it is greatly appreciated. Lanie was so nervous at the audition Sunday but you eased her nerves and made it alright. She was ready to give up but after getting to do her scene with her "hero" she was ok! I even overheard her praying Sunday night before bed, asking that God let her see Adrian and Sandra again because she misses them already. She also thanked him for letting her attend acting camp and for sending you guys here to help her chase her dream of becoming an actress! You have no idea what you have done for her self esteem and even if she isnt able to see you guys again at a future camp, she knows that you will always be there for her and that means a lot! -Amy and Lanie
Hey Adrian, It's crazy to think that around a year ago I began planning my trip to come up to Los Angeles for Pilot season. So much has gone on since then, I am on the shortlist for a tv show in Calgary called Heartland and if I get the role then I would be on the series for that season. I also finished filming the movie I last talked to you about and it was incredible. I miss you so much; the whole family that's out there! I hope I can see you soon :) -Ashleigh
Dear Sandra and Adrian, I received your last email with the agency contacts and wanted to say thank you so much for everything!!! You both are wonderful people and make not only the kids but also the parents comfortable with the show biz. I must admit that at first I was very hesitant to have Audrey follow this passion of hers. Especially, when you hear and read about all the kid stars and how they got in trouble one time or the other with alcohol, drugs, or just not being able to handle this kind of life.
But I assume they did not have such great guardian angels as you are. You made this experience for both of us a very pleasant one. Even if Audrey may not have shown it and may not have brought her full potential. At least now she knows what it is all about and if she really wants to pursue it what she has to work on and that she has to grow into it.
We may not get any offers this time and we may not be able to attend the Summer Camp with you. But we will stay in touch over the next few years and Audrey will mature and develop her personality which will give her better chances for work in this business. Talking to her I get the feeling she is not ready yet to understand that this is a serious business and that hard work is involved. She is still in the fun time mode. And I don’t want to take this away from her and push her too hard. She has all the time of her life to fulfill her dreams. So, I am hoping to see you and work with you again in the near future.
And thanks again for everything.

Hi Adrian,
I hope you are doing well! It sounds like you have been pretty darn busy since camp has been over. Congrats on your latest movie! You'll have to share the title when you're allowed to. When does Underground come out? I know it's soon. I keep looking for a commercial, even though I'm probably too much of a chicken to watch a lot of it with my eyes open! It looks scary! :o) It's so odd to be back home after spending so much time in L.A. this summer. We ended up staying until September 3rd. What a fun summer it was. We can't wait to come back for pilot season!!! I just wanted to share what is going on with Justin. After we got home, I sent out the letters and headshots to the Seattle agents that you had sent out to us. We have interviewed with two so far and have another interview at the end of the month. I am so impressed with Colleen Bell Modeling and Talent. Colleen submitted him for an audition upon receipt of his headshot. This is what she sent me: Dear Justin (and mom - I received your headshot in the mail and am MORE than interested in talking to you about representation with the Bell Agency in Seattle. Your resume is impressive and your look is darling Your headshot came in at perfect timing. One of our largest casting directors in Seattle is having an audition on Monday 9/27 for a Commercial - I scanned the picture and sent it over to them because they had asked for a 10 yr old boy - and I knew she would love your look They would like to have you audition for it on Monday if you are avail. We would only represent you for this job if you choose to audition but would LOVE TO HAVE YOU COME IN TO OPEN CALL in the near future. You can get all details to our open call on our website at www.colleenbellagency.com click on Open Call tab. Please let me know if you are interested and I will send all the details to you at that time. Here are the basics. Jewelers - TV spot Non Union Audition Monday 9/27 Call back 9/29 Shoot Oct 4-7 (one day per talent) Pay 1000.00 minus comm childrens rate 2 year usages during holidays Sincerely, Colleen He didn't book the job, but it was so exciting to go on an audition so quickly upon arriving back home - especially in Seattle! She is also trying to submit him for an ongoing modeling job (1-3 times per month). We are planning to sign with her. We met with them last week and they offered Justin representation. She has the passion and enthusiasm that you described as what to look for in an agent. They also seem top notch. I thought you'd want to know... We are also heading to L.A. for a quick trip on Thursday this week. Carla booked a movie audition for Justin so we are flying down for the day. We'll keep plugging away at this, it's only a matter of time... See you in a few months! Hello to Sandra as well :o) We miss you guys!

Hey Adrian,
just wanted to let you know that the photo shoot today with Matthew was a smashing success for Lanie! She had a blast and really strutted her stuff for Matthew and it was a greatly rewarding experience for all involved! Lanie was told she looked like an old pro at the whole photo shoot thing and she was very impressed with Matthew, as I think he was with her as well! This experience has been the most amazing we have yet to have as a family and it has given my middle daughter and I some bonding time as well, which I LOVE! Thanks so much for the opportunity and we look forward to seeing you soon! Amy
Dear Adrian,
Thank you so much for creating a camp that has been so wonderful and meaningful. My son, Justin, has asked me for years when I am going to "get him on Disney". I would always respond with "I don't know how to get you on Disney". I did not take his passion for acting as seriously as I should have at the time. Even though he has always entertained us, I hadn't looked into acting classes or theatre for him yet. I kept thinking he was young (under 10) and there was plenty of time to pursue acting. One day, I was listening to the radio and heard an ad for your weekend camp near my hometown. I thought this may be the way we can learn how to get Justin on TV. I am skeptical of these types of ads normally and would not have called, but I trusted it because it had your name on it. I called the number and took Justin to the audition the next day. I am so glad that I did! That was the beginning of an amazing adventure that has changed our lives! We started out with the weekend camp near our hometown, then went to summer camp in L.A. My son has loved every single minute of this fantastic program that you have put together. You have an amazing staff, like Tim Sharpe, Chester See, Giovonnie Samuels, Cassie Corsaro and many other celebrities and business professionals who all, like you, really care about what they do. It was very evident that all of you want to see the kids be their best. I have been so impressed with the training, the teachers, yours and Sandra's dedication to the kids and parents, the studio, but most of all with my son. He has grown in such a way that I can't explain. He really knows what he wants to do for the rest of his life at age 10. He loves acting and is very passionate about it. I want him to be happy and if this is what he wants, we will do what we can to make it happen for him. With your guidance, training, never ending support, and encouragement, I feel like we have the best foundation possible to make his dreams come true. Through this camp, you opened doors for him that never would have been opened on our own. Justin was able to sign with an agent and manager our first week of summer camp in L.A. Throughout the camp he went out on several commercial auditions. He also had the opportunity to audition for a leading role for a pilot Disney program! He has not booked anything yet, but he has had several callbacks and is going in for his third audition with Disney this week for the same role. It's surreal really. It was only made possible because of the training he received through your camps. Through each audition he gains additional knowledge, confidence and experience. I know something will happen for him soon - you'll see him on TV yet - hey maybe even Disney! Your camp is life changing no matter what happens with the kids and the decisions they make for their future endeavors. They gain confidence in themselves and skills that they can carry forward and apply in either a classroom or workplace setting. It was also very fun to be around so many other kids that are "just like Justin". These kids all have a certain quality about them that you can't describe necessarily, but they have this sparkle. I am truly blessed and will be forever thankful that you came into our lives. The many friendships that we all have made through this process will remain with us for a long time to come. Thank you for also giving me the courage and guidance to help my son achieve his dreams. Because this is his dream, it has become mine for him as well. I will support him as long as he has the desire to continue. Words cannot truly express the gratitude I have for you and your amazing team. Thank you for your friendship ~ we will forever remember this summer as one of the best times of our lives. Your Friends, Terra, Tom, Justin and Alyssa (the quiet one) Howell
Hi Adrian and Sandra!
How are you! I miss you guys already! I want to tell you how much fun I had at camp, and cannot wait until you come back to my city and hopefully next year I can finally come out to LA camp. I hear its awesome. Thanks so much for everything because without you and Sandra and Chester and Gio and Phil and everyone, I wouldn't be where I am today! I got a call back from the agency here and they wanna meet with me! Im so excited! Seriously its the best thing ever!! They want me to do a cold reading, just like we did in class!! How cool is that?? Anyway I want you to know that I look up to you and you are my inspiration. I couldn't have done anything without you! Thank so much for the camp, and I hope to talk to you soon! xoxo Laura
Dear Adrian,
I want to thank you personally for everything you have done for Josh. He appreciates you so much. He now has an agent and we have been going out on auditions everyday it seems like. I know he would be no where with out your camp. Honestly I can say a job well done. You and your crew have inspired him so much, and as a mother I cannot believe this is going to be his career. I never dreamed of having a son in this business because I know how hard it is. It brings me tears of joy to know I am doing the right thing, and supporting him in each and every way I can. please spread the word for I am very great full for you and your team. You guys work well together and get things done. I love the fact that you are responsible, and organized, because other companies out there cannot compare to you at all. Thanks so much for everything, and lets keep in touch. Lunch one day? Tell Sandra hello for me, and we will miss you guys so much, and I cannot wait until pilot camp. Hopefully something good happens. Keep your fingers crossed. Thanks so much for everything again. God Bless. Sue
We would love it if they could come in Friday between the hours of 1-4pm. We want to set appointments at 15 minute intervals since I have already seen them all perform. We just need to meet with the parents to discuss representation and their plans. Thank you for inviting us. Most showcases are horrible that is why we are always hesitant to go. But yours was WONDERFUL!! Please make sure that all the kids know that I was happy with all their performances. But for some of them we have their type already. Talk to you soon. Please give me a call. M. Smith

Hello Adrian and Sandra,
I would like to thank you both. My wife and I started this adventure skeptical. This is a lot of money to give over, but we thought it may be worth the gamble. We did not go full throttle, and go with the level 4, we decided to go with a lower level and limit our potential loss. After the first two days, I was very impressed. So much so, we decided to go with level 4, please let us know how we can upgrade. It became very transparent that you both are passionate about this camp. This is a true camp. I have sent my daughter to dance, acrobat, soccer, cheer and other camps, but I have never seen her leave with the energy and excitement from the time spent at this camp. My wife and I contemplated the extra expense and believe this is truly worth the financial cost to get the support from this camp, specifically from you both. You could spend your time doing something that profits your family rather than the time and energy you spend to provide an opportunity to people outside of Los Angeles, to be able to experience the ability to perform on shows they watch. This is an opportunity that does not exist except without you two. I cannot believe how much you care and give to the children and parents. This is not something that you can explain in a note, or blog. It can only be experienced. We know that you get what you give, and with this camp, you get more than you give because your child has a chance to be around and interact with you and your plethora of peers that provide endless support and caring. Thank you. Regardless of the outcome, this is a life changing experience provided by great people that deeply care about other people, and that is rare. So, thank you again, for caring about my daughter and us, this is a true blessing for us to have the opportunity to experience. Thank you, Stephen and Nicole " Hi Sandra and Celebrity Actors Camp,
I was wondering if you have sent the feedback emails yet and I didn't get it? I was also wondering if there was any way that I could get a list of Hollywood agents, is that something you would have available, i wasn't sure. Also, I truly want Adrian to know that I was so taken by his honesty and enthusiasm with the kids and parents. He is "real" person who wants to pass his knowledge on to others so they can learn from his experience. My daughter has gained so much from her camp experience and I can truly say that she is not as shy and quiet as she was before. She beamed everytime I picked her up at the end of the day and I saw a mature, assertive side of her that I never knew existed! I can't thank Adrian and everyone enough for making us feel so empowered. Thank you!!! Karen
Hey Adrian,
Thank you for everything this past month of july. I realy loved your camp this year. All the instructers were amazing! Chester and Giovanni were Hilarious! This has truly been a life changing event. I met more disney stars then i expected :) I am extremely grateful for this chance to be in the heart of hollywood and meet all the agents and managers I did. I was lucky enough to get an agent AND a mangager, and I owe it all to you. Thank you Adrian :) Grant :D
Adrian,
I can't even say thank you enough. Brooklyn (and my husband and myself) had a great time at the camp. Brooklyn doesn't really understand why it is over and keeps asking to go back. Since we mailed out headshots, resumes and cover letters a few weeks ago (in the Adrian R'Mante recommended style), Brooklyn has already had SIX callbacks for agents (counting a new one today)! The response is amazing to us and we are so grateful. Some of the agents have even made the specific comment that they called not just because of his look but because they were so impressed about all of his training. We miss you all, you have such a wonderful family at Celebrity Acotrs Camp. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you! With love, Stacie, Rob, baby Cali and of course Brooklyn
Dear Sandra and Celebrity Actors Camp, Hannah has actually used what she has learned from camp in her everyday life. She had a Doctors appointment with a new Dr. When he came into the room he asked Hannah how she was doing, Hannah responded with..."I'm fine thanks. How are you?" This caught the Dr. off guard, he stopped, responded that he was fine and asked her how old she was. When she told him, he asked her if she was sure she was only 7. Throughout the appointment, he spoke directly with her, as though I was not even there. At the end off the appointment he went to leave. She told him.. " thank you, have a nice day". Again he was caught off guard, and he had Hannah go with him and he introduced her to another Dr. and Hannah responded the same way. Hannah left the office with the 2 Drs. and a nurse impressed with her. It was funny to see. Hannah did not even realize what she had done. When I mentioned it to her, she told me Adrian told her to be polite and nice!!! Just thought I would share that with you guys!!! Also, I'm sure it is too late, but Hannah has been talking about camp. We know she had some rough moments, but was interested in next summers camp, if she would be considered for an invite. She will be a little older then and it would be interesting to see how much more she would grow with that camp. |

It's frustrating when a COMPETITOR or parent, who has NEVER attended the camp, tries to trash or defame your name with no first hand experience or just cause. I'm an employee of CAC and have been since the lauch of this company so I know the truth behind the scenes and the passion at which these celebrities work with these aspiring young people and it is truly second to none! There is a reason why we have endless positive reviews and have NO complaints on the BBB and "A-" rating. I provided a link and the proof is in the reviews. The only way to defend lies is to let the consumer defend your company for you and that's what I have done here...one bad apple will NOT take us down especially with our graduates on Disney Channel, Nickelodeon, NBC, ABC and CBS shows!!
