I went with my adult niece to the auditions here in MN last Saturday, April 13th. They PRETEND to be Christian-based. They advertised that their services are aimed towards people of ALL ages and so my niece, who's 50, signed up, after hearing about this on KTIS, our local Christian radio. She has a BA in music and also has performed major roles in many plays, as well as writes her own Christian music. They PROMISE to either phone with results of acceptance or send a denial email. They didn't do either. They LIE. Would Christ LIE? No! Therefore, they are NOT Christian-based; they are a SCAM to get kids into this, as the only people they obviously allow to attend their convention are kids up to, perhaps 30. They show this lengthy video of mainly children and young people performing on stage and NOT one single ADULT is included in their video, although they stated they cater to people of ALL ages: I believe they advertised child to 83, which pretty much states everyone who breathes. They obviously WANT MONEY, is their bottom line. They are definitely a scam! DO NOT EVER USE their services!

AMTC is not a scam, and in doing any type of investigative work on any company, one of the first places you go is the BBB, in which they have an A+. AMTC is not an agency, but rather a school that prepares you for a possible career in the entertainment business. The company is based on God's principles to assist other people who have a calling on their life to be in the industry.

AMTC is a confirmed scam. They use serious pressure by pitting parents against their kids to make them cave in to their ridiculous $3,500 conventions. Avoid AMTC like the plague! Then go and report them to your state senators and representatives. And, as for the BBB, they are the subjects of numerous lawsuits and negative news as they have been cught extorting businesses in states like California and running a shady business where ratings are for sale 100% and if you don't buy their ratings you cannot get any higher than a C rating for a business. AMTC is a 100% scam! Let me repeat that again - AMTC IS A 100% CONFIRMED SCAM!

Ok i really want some clarification. Im getting two completely different point of views. I am leading towards the idea that this is in fact a scam. Is there any other online source that proves that AMTC is a scam?
you know what, I'm doing the program right now and so far a see no sign of scamness at all. I agree it costs alot, but they have very profesional teachers and i've googled them, I know they r real profesionals, and they have real agents at the conventions and I know this because I've seen many of their works in the biz. They don't promiss you an agent, but they give you a chance to get one. There are other ways to get into the biz but this is the easiest.
If anyone is considering AMTC, you can learn everything you need to know about showbiz by purchasing Acting for Dummies. Don't be brainwashed. Don't waste your time and money unless you want to attend one of their conventions just for the experience. While they are honest in that they do not guarantee success, this is a hook. Don't go for it. Your fee is going toward paying their staff and accomodations for the agents and directors who do attend. Do your own research. It costs nothing to sign up with a legitamate agency. AMTC fills in the cost gap by telling almost everyone that audition that they have talent potential. They also factor in God advising contestants to pray in the name of God's will. You can do this on your own by asking God to give you discernment. The staff is nice, very nice people. Again this is a hook. Their management figured out this niche and used it to the company's advantage - profit. It is also pitiful that some of the staff is also being mislead. Some of the coaches are talented, but makes me wonder why are they working for AMTC and not pursuing their dreams. That's because they know a luck is a factor too. Good luck in your decisions and pursuit.

I dont really thing is a scam but, for a company to talk so much about God is ridiculous for how much money their asking for. I mean, like if your eally a legit company alkl bout god why all that money!
AMTC does not claim to be an agency. If they did claim to be an agency then yes it would be a scam. You should not ever be told to pay and agent until after they have gotten you work
Read what many others have to say about AMTC. Some are previous workers, while others are past attendees. In this link, you'll find other links. Some of the comments go into great detail on what goes on behind the scenes with this company. The very few positive comments are from what appears to be well meaning people, but do not have the facts written as does many of the other ones unleashing the truth about this company. I think after reading these, checking the validity of the comments ... I suppose you can simply call their office in Tryone, GA and out and out ask them. Their phone number is on their websites at www.amtcaudition.com and www.amtcworld.com.
If after investigating this company you still choose to participate with this company, then chances are you must be just looking for a place to throw your hard earned money away. Please don't. I wish you the very best!
