With offices in both Sydney, Australia and Auckland, New Zealand, Talent On Line can offer a unique collection of performing artists from both countries to give you a wider variety of options and broader perspective on what's possible to make your event something truly unique.

Our team has supported a host of event management, advertising and public relations companies in providing entertainers for their events and promotional campaigns. We pride ourselves on our discretion and, on the day, becoming a translucent part of your company with no private promotion of ourselves which might jeopardise your relationship with your client.

How does the site work?

Talent On Line is a specialised show business website which is split into two main sections.

The Bookings section is where you can find all you need to know about booking a band or entertainer, finding resources and additional activities and advice to make your event memorable. The Bands, Entertainers, Casino tables and Novelty acts in this section are booked via our Australian or New Zealand offices. Just drop us an email off the performer's page and we'll be back to you by the end of the next working day. For more urgent enquiries, feel free to give us a call.

The Talent section is specifically designed for all musicians, models and performers working in Film, Television, Fashion modelling, Theatre, Advertising, Live Events and other Recorded work. This is where you can find jobs, resources, training and inspiration.

Want to be listed? If you work in the Live events area and feel you can offer an act at least the calibre of those already listed on the site, send over your promotional material to the Sydney office for review. Click the link for more details.

Learn how to advertise your services here if you have a resource or offer training useful to performing artists.

Our Management

Annabelle McGough-Drumm, Chief Networker, Sydney, Australia based.
Using the combined expertise from the corporate and entertainment worlds, Annabelle can provide a unique blend of an efficient booking service whilst looking after the interests of both the client and the performer.

Via the Sydney Talent On Line office she has provided performers to clients such as Deloitte, Macquarie Bank, Vodafone, Assa Abloy, Channel 7, Price Waterhouse, 3M, Dell Computers, Toshiba, Coles Myer, National Bank, Masterfoods, Adobe, Caltex and the post-preview party for Cirque du Soleil.

For 10 fun filled years Annabelle worked professionally as a performer, choreographer and event director for television, theatre, promotions and corporate entertainment. The day job she gave up all those years ago was computer training manager for the then top Apple Dealership in the country creating over 30 courses for her advertising agency and banking clients and training other trainers in both Windows and Macintosh applications.

While running the corporate entertainment company Ipanema, Annabelle found many people would ask her to source other types of entertainers and she got a great kick out of finding work for others. She also found many other performers felt as isolated as herself in trying to find ways to extend their careers and these became her reasons for wanting to start Talent On Line.

She is a member of the international association Music Managers Forum.

Samantha Shanahan,
Auckland Branch Manager in New Zealand.
Sam has been managing our Auckland branch since 2001 and has built a long list of happy clients. These years of experience as a booker and co-ordinator means she loves to discuss your needs to understand what you are trying to achieve and can offer many creative ideas to help make your function or event a memorable one.

Sam's background is in professional performance work focusing on Musical theatre, International dance tours, corporate promotional work and day acting work for television and film.

Our Goals

For the performing artists on our books, we want to offer you the best agency service in the country with clear, detailed information you need for each job, booking updates as soon as they come in and a quick, efficient payment service.

The facts:

• We've been promoting Australian and New Zealand performing artists on the internet since 1995 and are now well entrenched in the most popular search engines in the world.

• Our site has a huge amount of visitors, mostly from Australia and New Zealand but many from Greater Asia and America as well, either wanting to book performers for their events and hotels or to book local entertainers for their conferences hosted here.

• Over the years, some awesome work has been offered to our members... gigs from 1-night, 1000 guest shows to 6 month international contracts for musicians, dancers, actors and entertainers throughout Asia, USA and Europe. There's been some awesome advertising contracts including a $10,000 ad campaign for a lovely actress cast directly off our site. There's also been plenty of corporate work from local businesses as well as overseas companies visiting Australia or New Zealand... the list goes on.
