Another happy customer of Richard Bertone and Karon Shea
I definitely feel like this is an "agency" that is not on the up and up. To a certain degree it is most definitely my own fault for allowing myself to be taken advantage of. The Bertone photoshoot was pretty much a joke. I spent $795 for him to show up more than half an hour late and he spent less than 2 hours actually taking pictures. The total number of shots came out to just over 400 and while I had maybe 6 changes there was no hair/makeup person to give me a hand really with anything. I'm just glad that when I went with my fiancee to NYC to get her professional acting headshots done the shoot, which was far more thorough and professional cost about half of what Bertone/Shea/Wood were charging. Oh yeah, that photoshoot I had was in July of '07 and I didn't get the comp cards back until late October/early November. I was told all these positive things and the closest I came to getting any sort of job or notice was an audition for an American Idol type show called Casting Call that was being judged by Joe Piscopo, Morgan Fairchild, and Adrian Zmed and hosted by the extraordinarily unfunny comic, Dan Levy. They filmed my acting audition, told me that I would be moving on to their finals in New Orleans and never heard from them again. The whole thing is a joke and KSMM is a joke.

I am glad you are still keeping this blog up-to-date.
So your unhappy because you didn't get the gig??? RIGHT! Your a fool. KSSM, and or Richard of John didn't pick who went on the show. The casting for that show did the that, and if you wasn't called back even after they said they call you back.. OH Well! that's how it is.
Lets blame the everyone but yourself here. You didn't get picked... Ever think that they like someone else over you.. Grow up and take some responsible here. Your pissy at KSSM, Richard and John because you DID NOT MAKE IT!
So like your Mom told you if you fall of your bike get back on it..
In reading this I decided to double check everything. The BBB does have a few complaints against KSMM but the states website does not show Karen Shea as a licensed agency. I will call tomorrow to actually find out if this is an oversite or if they have been revoked. I mean her website states that they are licensed and I would think that if you had been open for 20+ years you would be, so what gives.?? Why is there no info. on the states website about her agency?
I will fill you all in tomorrow what I find.
Hi, I posted earlier about the person who went to the BBB and the state but found nothing wrong. I also checked and saw that Karen Shea was not on the state list opf licensed agencies. I couldn't call because Monday was a holiday. I spoke to someone there yesterday and they told me that Karen is NOT licensed as an agency. She failed to put in the proper paperwork last October so she does NOT have a license to operate in the this state. Nice! I mean BFD because what is the state doing about it. Nothing,,, obvioulsy since my daughter and apparently this other persons daughter were still planning on signing up and noone at the agency said otherwise.
You would think that an agency open for 25 or 26 years would be capable of submitting the required paperwork.
Maybe this is why they are suddenly pushing the ACTORS loft. Can't cut it as an agency so now lets try our scam tactics at acting until someone else catches up with us.
