Recently an extras/acting/modelling agency called Australian Talent Management (ATM) has been advertising current castings all over Australia-wide online job listings. I have been in contact with them regarding a TV series being filmed on the Gold Coast, but I can't find any information on them (other then their job listings and website). Does anyone know this agency? Is it another NOTM? I'm a bit concerned. They allow for a free listing on their website but in order to actually be presented to clients, they suggest you upgrade to a $100 yearly membership. I was in touch with NOTM a year ago and I recall they had a very similar system of membership. If anyone has any information, it would be greatly appreciated. I suspect there will soon be an increase in interest in this agency following the recent spate of casting listings.

Yuh that's EXACTLY the call

Yuh that's EXACTLY the call I got as well. They want $199 upfront over 2 weeks and will cover the cost of my professional photography and show reel. The first call I got was very uncoordinated and he paused a lot while trying to compose sentences, no phone manners either. Second call seemed better and more organised. But reading the comments and feedback from people, plus looking at their website, I'm a lil worried about everything now and I don't think I will go. I'm going to send him an SMS and let him know. It's a lot of money up front before they actually get me any work. Though they say they may already have work for me on a cop show as a Police Forensic Investigator. In my message I am stating that if I do get this extras part, I would do the photoshoot and showreel with them as well for the price they have stated as they would obviously be legit if they got me work. If not then I won't contact them again. Meh anyway this was all a hobby anyway. I'll let you know their reaction. It might not be pleasant or maybe they are everything they say they are. One way to find out!
