What is the difference between an agent and a talent manager?

In our opinion, managers have a smaller client list compared to agents, provide advice/counsel with a more hands-on approach, and pitch their unsigned clients to reputable talent agents. Additionally, managers groom and develop fresh talent, while most agents are not willing to take on inexperienced talent. Managers are also more patient in terms of a timeline for the client to start working in the industry. We believe managers analyze ways to strategize and brand a client in a specific manner. A manager’s network of contacts within the entertainment industry is also very valuable to a client’s success. One very important aspect of the business relationship that is similar to both agencies and management companies is that they work on commission only based on their client's gross earnings, and never charge upfront fees.

CHSPE

P.R.O.

The California High School Proficiency Examination (CHSPE) is a testing program established by California law (Education Code Section 48412). If eligible to take the test, you can earn the legal equivalent of a high school diploma by passing the CHSPE. The CHSPE consists of two sections: an English Language Arts section and a Mathematics section. If you pass both sections of the CHSPE, the California State Board of Education will award you a Certificate of Proficiency, which by state law is equivalent to a high school diploma (although not equivalent to completing all coursework required for regular graduation from high school).

P.R.O.

Coogan Account

P.R.O.

A P.R.O. helps songwriters and publishers get paid for the usage of their music by collecting one of the most important forms of publishing revenue: performance royalties. As a songwriter, composer, or lyricist, you’re owed what is called a “performance royalty” any time your music is played on radio stations (terrestrial, satellite, and internet), used on TV shows or commercials, or performed in live venues. Those performance royalties are paid by radio stations, venues, and TV networks to Performing Rights Organizations like ASCAP, BMI, SESAC, and SOCAN (in Canada) who then distribute the money to their affiliated songwriters and publishers.
