What is the difference between an agent and a manager?
What I mean by that is an agent doesn’t have the time to find the spark in a kid, to see the potential, to crack the shell… The kid needs to walk into an agent’s office and be ready … to take charge of the interview… to “own the office”. A manager… gets the child ready for the interviews and auditions… Besides the commission difference (15%) for a manager, (10%) for an agent. The differences are as follows. An agent tends to have a bigger roster of children in one specific category. For example an agent might have 10 African American 9 year old girls or a dozen Blonde haired Blue Eyed 12 year olds. A manager will have 2 or maybe 3 of a specific type / or age because a manager wants to devote the time and energy that is involved in developing a child’s career. Basically a manager guides and counsels, negotiate, protect and look out for the interests of a client on a more personal level. They will tell you: 1) Which acting teachers / voice teachers to go to 2) Headshots / photographers
