Thank you for attending one of our auditions. Auditioning with JRP Virtual is the beginning of a mutual evaluation. Families have the opportunity to decide whether our program is the right fit for their goals, and we carefully evaluate whether our program is the right fit for each applicant. There is never any obligation to enroll, and we fully respect when someone decides it isn't the right investment for them.
However, calling our company a scam simply because we offer paid professional training is inaccurate. We are transparent about what we provide, our pricing, and the commitment involved. For families who choose to participate, we deliver exactly what we promise: professional training, coaching, showcases, and opportunities to connect with industry professionals.
We have thouroughly enjoyed working with JRP. Learning lots of new skills and what the industry is all about. How to present ourselves and Freddie has been super good at explaining to the bunch of young tweens that he had in the program. Nice work guys.

We really appreciate you taking the time to share your experience and are excited to continue being part of your journey! 😊

JRP Virtual has been a wonderful experience for my daughter. The instructor was kind, supportive, and truly care about helping students grow. I’ve seen her become more confident and improve her acting skills. The classes are fun, engaging, and well organized. I would definitely recommend JRP Virtual to other parent.

TOTAL SCAM. DO NOT GIVE THEM A PENNY.
Avoid at all costs: Predatory "pay-to-play" sales tactics
I strongly advise anyone considering this agency to do thorough research before signing anything or handing over money. This company uses deceptive sales tactics, stringing victims along and convincing them they have a real shot at stardom—only to demand hundreds or thousands of dollars upfront.
Industry standard practice is simple: legitimate talent agencies do not charge money upfront. Real agencies take a standard 10% to 15% commission only when you earn money from booked, professional work. Charging massive fees for representation, classes, or virtual showcases is a classic pay-to-play operation.
Don't let them target your dreams for profit. You will be left empty-handed with a bitter taste in your mouth. Avoid this company.
Reply from JRP Virtual2026-07-27
We're sorry to hear you came away with this impression. We make a point of explaining to everyone who auditions for us that JRP Virtual is not a talent agency and that legitimate agencies do not charge upfront representation fees.
If an individual is accepted into one of our programs, they receive professional training from working Los Angeles actors and then have the opportunity to showcase in front of agents and managers.
Based on our records, you were never a client of JRP Virtual, so we're unclear how you formed these conclusions about our services. I've reached out to you directly if you'd like to discuss further and get clarification on what it is we actually do.

My JRP experience
Since joining JRP Virtual I have had tremendous support from the staff as they help me navigate through my journey in the entertainment industry. They are very understanding and are always there when you have a question, whenever I have a problem I know I can get ahold of someone who is willing to take the time to make sure I understand everything they offer.

This endeavor
This endeavor, which I pursued for an extended duration, yielded a remarkable experience and a vital opportunity. Although I faced remuneration challenges, I effectively resolved them. Initially, the prospective career opportunities generated significant enthusiasm; however, the program ultimately led to financial disillusionment.

Hi Jacob,
We're a bit confused by your comments, as you describe the experience as "remarkable" and "a vital opportunity," yet left a 1-star rating.
If there's a specific concern you'd like to discuss, you're welcome to reach out to me directly at [email protected]. We're always happy to have an open conversation and answer any questions.
Since joining JRP, my son has grown tremendously not only as a young actor but also in his confidence. Every class has challenged him to step outside his comfort zone, and it's been amazing to watch him become more expressive, comfortable on camera, and excited to perform. The coaches like Mr. Larry VanBurren and Ms. Polina create such a positive, encouraging environment where every child feels supported and motivated to do their best. As a parent, there's nothing more rewarding than seeing him look forward to every class and leave each session with a bigger smile and more confidence than before. We are truly grateful to JRP virtual for helping him develop his talent while also building important life skills like confidence, communication, and professionalism. We can't wait to see where this journey takes him!

Hi Martino,
Thank you so much for taking the time to share this. It truly means a lot to all of us.

Hi! Lily Ortiz here, I just finished up my 5 week acting course with Justin Farley last Saturday. I didn’t know what to expect going into this but, definitely received more than I could have imagined. I’m sad it’s over, we had truly an incredible experience each week. He always brought an amazing energy into the class and gave us such great pieces of information, or “nuggets” as few preferred to call them. I would recommend JRP Virtuals 100%.

Thank you so much, Lily! ❤️ We're so happy to hear you had such an amazing experience with Justin and the 5-week program. We'll definitely share your kind words with him, we know they'll mean a lot!

Hi Tatum,
Thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback. We're glad to hear you enjoyed your experience with us.
I'm not sure where the figure you referenced came from, but it is not accurate. We work with only a small percentage of the individuals we meet and only move forward when we see strong potential. For those who are a fit, we offer a variety of programs at different investment levels, and families choose whether or not to participate based on their individual goals.
We understand that every family's situation is different, and we sincerely wish you all the best in your future endeavors.

This site is dumb on so many levels.
At first the zoom meeting went steady and amazing, and we had a 15-minute video. The host was welcoming, and all that, but there was a problem. Both hosts eventually played the same video. Because I didn't want to go through the agonizing process of watching the video again, I left the meeting. Will not audition with them again.

Hi Johannes,
Thank you for your feedback.
We are glad to hear you found the beginning of the Zoom meeting welcoming and informative.
During your session, the host experienced an unexpected technical issue that required a quick restart. Because this was a live virtual event, a short portion of the presentation was repeated to ensure all attendees received the same important information and did not miss any key details.
While technology occasionally presents challenges in a live environment, our goal is always to provide every participant with a complete and professional experience.
We wish you the very best moving forward.

Diabolical people who want to scam vulnerable artists for money. They talk down to you, insult you and demand money before you ever get any audition. Worst treatment I’ve ever witnessed.

Hi Dorothy,
We’re sorry to hear that this was your impression and experience.
The entertainment industry is highly competitive, and our goal has always been to prepare aspiring actors and models with honest guidance, professional expectations, opportunities, and industry exposure. We work hard to help our clients put their best foot forward, as agents, managers, and industry professionals expect professionalism, preparedness, and commitment.
While our communication may sometimes be direct in preparing clients for the realities of this business, it is always intended to encourage growth and help position them for success, never to make anyone feel disrespected.
To clarify, JRP Virtual is not a talent agency, and there is never any obligation to move forward with any services. For those invited to continue, the decision to invest further in their career development is always entirely personal.
We understand our approach may not be the right fit for everyone, but we remain proud of the confidence, skills, representation, and opportunities many of our clients have gone on to achieve. We sincerely wish you the very best.
