When To Get A Manager
The biggest thing an artist manager can offer you is the chance to focus on your craft whether it be music, acting, or modeling. There’s a lot of work that goes into making your talents a career. They don’t call it “the business” for anything. Juggling all the responsibilities of getting a career off the ground while still trying to stay creative is a struggle.
In addition to being someone who can take care of some of your business related responsibilities, a good manager is one who has some contacts that can help you in your industry – labels, promoters, agents, press, etc. The manager doesn’t run the show. Like any business, the manager is just that…a manager. It is the business of the artist that the manager manages.
A good manager will be focused not only on getting work for their clients but also on trying to elevating the actor’s career. Keep in mind, finding a good manager is like marriage; the success of which hinges on love, trust, respect for each other and mutually set boundaries, and above all, open communication.
Still wondering if you need a manager or not. Here’s our suggestion: When the business side of things begins to take up as much time (or more time) as the creative side of things, you need help!
