Promoting yourself
If you are based in
Australia or New Zealand and have an act suitable for private or
corporate functions, festivals, clubs, high class events or parties, you
should be promoting yourself on this site!
For live event
entertainers it's free to be promoted on the site - please send your
promotional pack by email to our Sydney office for review:
Sydney office
What do I need to send in a
Promotional pack?
We need all your
contact details (phones, address, email) and as much promotional
material as possible to review the quality of your act.
This will include:
-
Your act's name
-
City you are based in
-
A detailed biography
describing what you do in your act
-
Photos of how you look when
you are performing. If you can get photos on stage with professional
lighting, then all the better.
-
List of previous clients,
venues, clubs including month and year of gig
-
Testimonials and any comments
clients have written to you (no verbal quotes accepted. Please add name
and company of the quoter)
-
How it is presented, duration
and size options
-
Your rates if you know what
they should be - we can help you decide on an appropriate rate if you
don't know
-
Soundfiles if you're a musical
act or voice over artist - good quality mp3 is preferred.
-
Video for our You Tube
channel especially if you are a visual act. This is imperative
if you are applying for an overseas position. If it's local work you're
after, a good quality video will help you get the job.
The better quality your
promotional material, the easier it is to sell your act to potential
clients.
Sometimes you can't afford the
best quality when you're just starting out. Do try to send something
along though, to give us a feel for what you do. As you start to work
you can save for a professional photographer or session in a recording
studio to improve what you have in your pack.
Really
important
Once you send your information out to us and we have spoken with you,
please always make sure you keep us informed of your latest contact
details, contract and holiday dates you will be out of town, even if we
haven't spoken to you for a while.
You'll be amazed what a difference it makes just calling your agents
once a month to tell them what you've been doing lately to improve your
performance. By keeping in regular contact you'll stay on their minds
and more likely to be on the short list when they need to recommend
someone. We find it hilarious when a performer we haven't heard from
for a while calls us to say hi and then within 48 hours a suitable job
comes in from them. It's almost always the way!
