Hire the best artists in Hawthorn East

When it comes to entertainment, and this is even more true in our modern era, it includes all kinds of disciplines, professions, places, media, and events. The term is indeed extremely broad and, in the first place, we will try to define its limits in order to better understand what we will be discussing in this very rich and varied content. To put it simply and without elaboration, entertainment is a paid or offered entertainment for a given audience. As we have said, this includes a myriad of activities, which we will list while trying to be as exhaustive as possible. It may therefore be a show: - live: this includes dance, theater, live concerts, opera, artistic performances, storytelling, magic or prestidigitation, mentalism, circus, cabaret, flash mobs, bullfighting (despite its very controversial practice, it remains a spectacle...), street shows and street theater. - filmed: in the context of cinematographic projection, documentaries, TV show recording. - sporting: sports competitions, whether it be football, rugby, handball, basketball, judo, swimming or any other discipline, are very popular nowadays, and constitute a spectacle that meets an increasingly large audience. - pyrotechnic and sound and light: this refers to fireworks most often, but also to laser shows or drone choreographies and the like, because technology continuously stimulates the creativity of artists and develops the offer.

Charlie Griffin - Solo Singer/Guitarist

3183 Balaclava7.1 km from Hawthorn East
Hi Anne Thanks for contacting. I am primarily a musician entertainer (singer, guitarist, ukelele) with decades of experience in function work. It’s what I do very well. Immigrated here from S Africa *information hidden*I had my own bands up to 9-piece, and I played solo. Currently mostly solo, but with a huge repertoire of party and listening music, many with excellent backing tracks, I sound like a full band (sometimes better!). I included myself under the listing of “party organisers”, because I am specifically very good at planning or advising on crucial aspects regarding the actual running of functions where I am performing, e.g: Layout of the room including position of bandstand. Timing, i.e. a detailed order of all events, co-ordinating with the caterer, photographer These two aspects alone, can make or break a function. I very quickly made myself part of this process, because playing at a mediocre party or function, does not recommend me to new clients. So when I am booked to perform, my clients get the benefit of my organising experience, too.

What kind of education and training is necessary to enter the world of entertainment?

Given the multiplicity and diversity of profiles falling into the nomenclature, we will, as far as possible, take up all the activities previously mentioned, in order and by major themes, so that it will be clearer to read. Some activities, such as magician or mentalist, for example, mainly require personal learning and a devouring passion, there is no state or official training to become a professional, only work, talent and a bit of luck will make the difference. - Live performances: Dance: - the Bac technologique Sciences et Techniques du Théâtre de la Musique et de la Danse. - the Certificat d'Aptitude Danse (to be able to teach dance). - conservatories, open to 18 to 25-year-old baccalaureate holders (to obtain the DNOP or the DEM). - the Diplôme d’Etat de Danse. - the Bac Technique de la Musique et de la Danse (TMD). - the Diplôme d'Etudes Chorégraphiques (DEC) or the Diplôme National d'Orientation Professionnelle de Danse. - Bac + 3, the Diplôme National Supérieur Professionnel de Danseur (DNSP), by competition. - Bac + 4 and +5, the Diplôme du Conservatoire National de Musique et de Danse (CNSMD), very selective. - Bac + 5, a Master's degree in Dance over 2 years, after obtaining the DNSP. Comedy: - after 3ème, 2 years of prep to pass the Diplôme National d’Orientation Professionnelle d’Arts Dramatiques. - Bac technologique Sciences et techniques du théâtre, de la musique et de la danse. - after Bac, 3 years of studies to pass the Certificat d'Ecole en Art Dramatique or the DNSP of the actor. - at Bac or equivalent level, le Diplôme d’Etudes Théâtrales or le Diplôme National d’Orientation Professionnel d’Art Dramatique. - conservatories, open to 18 to 25-year-old baccalaureate holders (to obtain the DNOP or the DEM). - Bac + 1, a year of prep for the long cycle. - Bac + 2, the DEUST Formation de Base aux Métiers du Théâtre, the DEUST Théâtre, the Classe d'Art Dramatique or private drama schools. - Bac + 3, the Diplôme National Supérieur Professionnel de Comédien, specialization Comédien, the Licence mention Arts du Spectacle, the Diplôme de Lensatt, parcours Acteur or private schools. - Bac + 5, the Master mention Arts de la Scène et du Spectacle Vivant. Music: - Bac technologique Sciences et Techniques du Théâtre de la Musique et de la Danse. - the Brevet de Technicien Métiers de la Musique, in 3 years after 3ème. - conservatories, open to 18 to 25-year-old baccalaureate holders (to obtain the DNOP or the DEM). - Bac + 2, the BTS Audiovisuel option Son. - Bac + 3, the Diplôme d'Etat de Professeur de Musique or the Licence de Musique. - Bac + 4 and +5, the Conservatoires Nationaux Supérieurs de Musique et de Danse. - Filmed performances: From CAP (vocational ability certificate) to professional Bac, one can aim for the professions of machinist, electrician, set builder, etc. Bac + 2 to Bac + 5 courses prepare for shooting or sound recording, editing and/or mixing, audiovisual production management, etc. They are located in high schools (BTS - higher technician's certificate), universities (bachelor's and master's degrees) or schools. The public schools (La Fémis, Louis Lumière, ENSP Arles, INA Sup) are very selective. As are the schools specializing in animation, of which there are few. As for private schools, the offer is plentiful but of uneven quality. It is better to inquire before registering to find out about the certifications and recognitions obtained by the establishments. The technical equipment made available to students, the teaching staff and the relations with professionals are also decisive. Some schools are recognized by the profession. Pyrotechnics and sound and light: Becoming a Pyrotechnician: There is no specific school training for the entertainment pyrotechnician profession. The training for spectacular pyrotechnician is carried out through courses of a few days provided by organizing and designing fireworks companies, in order to obtain the C4-T2 certificate. Open to people over 18 years old, this certificate is composed of 2 levels: - level 1 (2 days) is there to familiarize oneself with the products - level 2 (3 days) allows for training in the implementation and firing of any type and class of entertainment firework. Attention, these 2 levels must then be validated by the prefecture. The training is based on a knowledge of products, the placement and fixing of them, safety standards, transportation and storage rules. Sound and light: This type of specific show requires areas of competence related to images and sound, most often, these courses are adapted to allow you to understand the concept of sound and light show. On the other hand, for other technologies, such as drone piloting (for drone shows, which are all the rage...), it is obviously necessary to obtain a license. Organization, planning and ordering of shows: The artistic agent takes care of the career of beginner or unknown artists. They find them contracts, enroll them in castings, ensure their promotion and defend their interests. Bac + 3, the License Professionnelle Gestion de Projets et de Structures Artistiques et Culturels. Bac + 5, the Master mention direction de projets or établissements culturels, the Master mention industries culturelles.

What is the scope of work of a Talent Agent or Agency?

When a company or an event agency plans to organize an event for the launch of a new product, it can be for a wide variety of occasions, that's why it needs to be able to adapt. Whether it's to celebrate a company's or a loved one's birthday, the inauguration of a hall or for any other event, it's necessary to find a place that can accommodate the expected number of guests, to find the right atmosphere that will make the event a success, and to guarantee that everything will go as planned. This is where a talent agency comes in handy, as it is their job to ensure that the client can book an artist or a performance, without having to worry about anything else other than paying the price of the performance. There are no specific rules or laws for approaching a talent agency, the key is to know what you want or don't want for your event and to give them enough time so that they can actually plan a program that fits your desires.

Why use an entertainment agency?

Not only does this type of professional structure have a network and a catalog of artists (musicians, actors, dancers, etc.) sufficient to allow you to find what you are looking for, but it will also address caterers to choose the most accomplished gourmet proposal with the best value for money, and it will do everything possible to ensure that the evening is as you had imagined it at the outset. In order to avoid your event falling flat, it is better not to hesitate to call on a performance agency because nothing is more complex than taking care of the animation, especially if you do not have any particular knowledge of the field. On a completely different note, and from a purely administrative point of view, the artistic agency will be considered as the employer of the artists, and therefore, it will take care of all social security declarations and pay all employer and employee contributions (you cannot imagine how this will simplify your life!). It is again and always the performance agency that will organize the intervention of the artists at the venue of the event, in consultation with the organizing company or the event agency in charge of the evening. Therefore, even if there are several artists, or even many artists (or performers) who intervene during such or such festive event, the agency will simply respond on behalf of all the artists and present itself to the client as the only point of contact for this animation. Let's not hide it, most of the time, it's a huge relief, especially when managing this type of intervention is not part of your regular duties. Indeed, it may seem a bit stupid to say, but you don't manage artists as you schedule temporary workers or hostesses, be aware of it! The performance agency also intervenes upstream, from the first contact and exchanges, to advise on the type of artistic intervention possible, depending on the desired atmosphere, the type of audience that will be invited, the number of guests, of course, the form of the event, the technical equipment, the configuration of the venue, and the budget allocated. To give you an example, if your event consists of a kind of cocktail dinner, then wandering animations around the guests (such as close-up magic, a caricaturist or contact juggling...) will undoubtedly be much more suitable than a visual number of contortionists, acrobats or grand illusions that require the total attention of the public. This type of performance will be placed rather towards the end of dinner, for example, when the audience is more likely to have their eyes fixed on the stage. As for music, the same will apply, i.e. the performance agency will be able to advise you on the relevance of opting for a jazz trio rather than a classical quartet in order to create perfect coherence between all aspects of your evening.

When should you hire an entertainment agency?

We already talked about it earlier, but the best thing is to contact the agency a few weeks or even months in advance of the date set for the event. While agencies do have a very extensive catalog of artists and performers, they still have to manage their schedules from the point of view of their activity. Therefore, if you wait until the last minute, the entertainment agency may not be able to guarantee that 100% of the proposed services will be provided. It is therefore best to anticipate and start with a contact during which you will immediately begin to define the content of the evening or event that you wish to organize. Furthermore, you should know that the world of entertainment is constantly evolving. New technologies or new disciplines regularly emerge, allowing for even more spectacular performances (for example, drone performances that are choreographed to the millimeter and microsecond or hologram performances that are becoming increasingly popular...). Therefore, if you have the (somewhat eccentric) idea of handling everything yourself, you will have a hard time managing everything, and in any case, you probably won't be able to include these innovative options in the event. This is unfortunate because they could really make a difference and give a unique touch. Finally, another good reason to collaborate with a professional entertainment organizer is that they can offer you exceptional rates and special touches. Contrary to what one might initially think, this could save you money in terms of the budget. Additionally, you will also save time, which is not insignificant and should not be overlooked.

How to find a booking agency for shows?

No matter where you are located in France, finding a company specialized in organizing shows should not be too complicated, as there are many of them throughout the country. So, whether you live in Hawthorn East or in a rural area with fewer people, you have a good chance of finding what you need nearby! To start, we suggest that you ask around among your acquaintances and friends, investigate your workplace, and ask your colleagues. Often, this is how you can find a good company, so keep that in mind! If word-of-mouth does not work, which is entirely possible, then it is recommended to use the Internet, by consulting a website like StarOfService, for example, which lists all professionals in a specific field, depending on where you are searching. With just a few clicks, the site will provide you with the contact information for the agency that can organize the show, and you can contact them right away. From there, you are free to compare companies or simply choose the one closest to your home or the location where you want to hold the event.

How much does it cost to organize an event with a show?

It will not really be possible for us to answer this question, as the range of possible shows is so diverse that we would need pages and pages to provide a comprehensive overview (ranging from 100 euros to several thousand euros to give an idea...). There are many factors that come into play to calculate the total cost, and we will try to list the main ones below: - the duration of the event and the artistic performance. - the number of people necessary for the performance. - the location where the performance will take place. To conclude on the subject and be entirely complete, we wish to emphasize that your geographical location can also have a relatively significant impact on the prices charged by a given agency (due in particular to the artists' or speakers' travels...). It must be understood that the rates charged in Paris or in these types of large urban areas (such as Bordeaux, Lyon, Marseille, etc.) are necessarily higher than in an average provincial town or in a small village.

How to choose the right entertainment agency?

As we mentioned earlier when it was simply a matter of finding a basic printing company, word of mouth can be useful and quite relevant. This is also true when it comes to finding a quality professional whose talent is recognized and appreciated by past clients. That's exactly why, at least at first, we recommend that you start by talking to your friends, family and acquaintances, as they may know of a company that offers excellent services near you (which will make your life easier). If word of mouth proves fruitless, then use the Internet and go to certain professional referral websites like StarOfService. You will find lists of professionals who work in your region or nationwide, as well as reviews and comments from clients who have used their services, which provides really crucial information. We strongly advise you to take the time to go through these reviews and comments, as they can be very useful in helping you choose the right professional. An entertainment agency that collects good ratings, positive feedback and comments undoubtedly has not only a very large list of entertainers, but also very talented ones, and perhaps even interesting rates. Once you have found the address and sign that you need, make sure you check the options and possibilities that are available to you, ensure that their rates correspond to what you have planned, or are willing to pay, and clearly state the deadlines that you would like to respect regarding the event and payments. For example, in the event of a very tight deadline (which is not recommended, but sometimes inevitable...), make sure that the agency can actually guarantee the realization of the event on the one hand, and the rates originally stated on the other. Lastly, a small piece of advice: be wary of professionals who say "yes" to everything and who offer prices that are unbeatable on the market, as generally, it's not a very good sign and you may bitterly regret your choice.

Here's the translation: Some questions to ask a professional in the entertainment or event organization industry during your first meeting:
