Talent Managers

What is a Talent Manager or Talent Representative ?

Representative are agents, managers and sometimes entertainment lawyers that work on 5%-20% commission of your salary. Industry professionals such as directors, producers and casting director do not want to talk with the talent in most cases and would prefer to talk with a legal official that acts on the talent's behalf.

The representative job is to submit the talent to casting calls, to book auditions and callsbacks, to negotiate a contract, and to supply the actor with all the information and tools that he needs in order to do a good job.

The Manager's Job

A talent manager, also known as a personal manager, is one who guides the career of artists in the entertainment business. The responsibility of the talent manager is to oversee the day to day business affairs of an artist; to advise and counsel talent about professional matters and personal decisions which may affect their career.

The roles and responsibilities of a manager vary slightly from industry to industry, as do the commissions to which the manager is entitled. Music managers duties differ from those who advise actors, writers, directors, etc.

Most acting managers takes 10% - 20% of the performer earnings. Although your contract may be negotiable, the standard contract with a manager is 3 years.
