They charged me after I canceled my subscription… twice! They said they confirmed it’s canceled this time and said I couldn’t get a refund. Also no one responds to your jobs and very confusing site.

This is a great site if you are…
This is a great site if you are starting out in modelling or acting. Great for getting TFP (Time for pictures) work so you can get a professional photographer to take pictures and they give you a selection for free. You need these for your profile. If you are not a trained qualified actor you need to start somewhere, acting in student films etc. These are not paid but this is the price you need to pay to get started. There are paid work on there as well. Just give it a go, keep applying and opportunities will come your way.

NOT A ROAD TO FAME OR TO BE DISCOVERED
Star Now is supposedly a site where you apply for Acting auditions or jobs for Models Musicians and Dancers.... Oh and not to forget even general hospitality jobs for vip events.
I paid a £29.99 fee for a 6 month subscription as of course star now advise this as for "NO MONEY! NO HONEY!"
Now as an amateur actor and model everything on Starnow.com is student based work.
8 out of 10 castings are unpaid or lucky to get expenses paid for.
There are also many scam artists requesting your direct emails and proof of I'd.
If you want to cast for proper tv shows with the BBC or ITV then register with Mad Dog Casting, The Casting Collective or Phoenix Casting as they cast directly for the real deal.
Star Now is for student work only as nd its a fraud to give artists false hope for a minimum of £29.99.
Do not waste your money.
Check out my other 3 casting agencies if you really want the real thing.
Of course being proper it means the competition with other applicants is tougher and they only take a small joining fee after your 1st paid Job.
