ANSWER: Any worthwhile agent already has those contacts. And "Steve" wanted to know "about getting represented by a G2E exhibitor to cut down on the showcase fee." ANSWER: Ahhh... the age old question: What comes first, the chicken or the egg? Artists want agents to procure work and agents only want to represent artists that already are working! So, how does an rising star artist attract an agent? I've spent hours over the years lecturing on this at various colleges, conferences and expos. There are dozens of strategies that work and you'll find many of them discussed in leading books on artist management. One strategy that is often very effective is SHOWCASE! Industry showcases are NOT just to get gigs; often these showcases are more influential in attracting agents than email, calls, etc. Hey, here's an idea: What if Sonicbids offered its members webinars presented by industry experts? If you like that idea, let Sonicbids know. Hope to see you all in the Entertainment Arena at G2E 2008, the Global Gaming Expo, Nov. 18-20, 2008, at the Las Vegas Convention Center. “Anonymous” wanted to know about contacts with the promoters and casino talent buyers for casinos.
