How to hire a manager- The one who can turn upcoming artists into a celebrity

Getting in contact with celebrity managers being an upcoming artist may seem like an easy task, but there obviously are a few hurdles to overcome before you find yourself sitting down and having coffee with Angelina and Brad. The best way to get the three of you sipping lattes together and hashing out new screenplay ideas is by you surfing the Internet and making a few well thought phone calls.

So here are some instructions that will help you follow through as an upcoming artist and set your deal straight:

Which Celebrity's Manager are you Trying to Contact?
Whom do you want to meet? With an endless number of celebrities out there, narrow your focus. Remember that the more popular the celebrity, more the difficult it will be to contact them. You will ultimately want to talk to them, not their manager. Figure out who will benefit you the most and then focus on getting in touch with them. Looking for too many people at once might make you appear a bit desperate.

While trying to track down a famous person, a great place to start that is the www.Pro.IMDB.com, which is the Internet Movie Database professional website but do not to be confused it with www.IMDB.com. The site includes the resumes of around 80,000 actors, writers and producers. In addition to the listing of every film and shows the celebrity has done or planned to do in the near future, there are also links on each star's personal page that are marked "contact," which gives you the e-mail address and phone number of the celebrity's talent agent and manager.

Remember that you aren’t the only one calling these agents and managers so have a little patience.

The fallback options are always for you to do your own legwork. It shows initiative and determination. If you really do want to get into contact with a celebrity representative, then find out the business address and just hop in the car. Getting old for them isn’t a big task for an upcoming artist. Try getting a few minutes in front of the celebs representative, even though getting a meeting might take a few phone calls and a little grovelling, make sure whatever message you have seems more feasible and appealing.

Try maintaining professionalism all the times. When you get a meeting with the agent or representative, dress professionally and make sure you keep what you want to say to the point. These are after all very busy people. Relax. Do not let your nerves get the best of you.
