What is the difference between managers and an agent?
Agents are licensed and work for a talent agency “or corporation who engages in the
occupation of procuring, offering, promising, or attempting to procure employment for
an artist or artists,” according to California state law. Other states have different
requirements. A talent agent works on commission, typically no more than 10 percent
of any earnings you make as a result of the agent’s work. In California, a talent agency
must register its fees with the state and post their fee schedules in their office. An agent
is legally permitted to negotiate contracts for work. An agent specializes in
entertainment niches, like actors, writers, directors, or musician. An agent works with
and is subject to the regulations labor unions for a particular profession, such as SAG-
AFTRA, the Writers Guild of America or the Directors Guild of America. Talent agents
have a roster of clients and you are not their sole focus.
Managers are not regulated and do not require special licensing or certification, unlike
talent agents, nor does he or she need to work for a management company, though
some do. A talent or business manager can really be anyone, which is why relatives of
talent sometimes assume the role.
Unlike agents, managers may have you as their only client, which guarantees a high
level of personal attention. They may also stick with you throughout your career,
unlike many agents who come and go.
Managers have relationships that agents don't have—relationships that allow you to
meet writers, producers, and other people that aren't just based in a specific project.
These are people who are planning to do things, who could put you in their plans. They
can connect you with writers who can write specifically for you. And they do put
pressure on agents to produce and bring you more work or they'll help you find an
agent who can do that
We do not have you thing to do with photos or portfolio's these are up to you on
what you want to do. We do not require or pay for either. We leave all photos you
want on Webtime up to you. Most talent submit the photos they have. We do not offer
classes or training it is up to the talent on what they want to improve their skills.
We do not require new or specialized photos!
When you land a project they may or may not pay for travel, hotel, or meals. If they
do not pay it is then up to you if you want to except the project. If you decide to except
the project you are responsible for the costs. Crawford Talent Management does not
cover these costs.
