I've not heard of this site but it seems very expensive over £230 per year. Mandy and Talent circle are free and StarNow and StarsInMy Eyes have a much smaller annual fee.

My advice?
Avoid it like the plague.
Any website that makes a statement like this is being deliberately misleading:
"Want to attend the auditions for the biggest theatre productions around? Sign up to Zaryo and you'll automatically receive an invitation to every stage audition"
They make a similar claim for TV and film.
This is arrant nonsense. This is not how the business works and they must be aware of this. No-one receives an invitation to an audition just by signing up to a website. Theatre, TV and Film auditions are very hard to come by, even for experienced actors with excellent CVs. Casting Directors and Directors may only call in a TINY proportion of the people who apply for jobs and a website like this won't get to hear about most jobs anyway.
Bah humbug!
