- Remove jacket, place on back of chair, take a sip from of a half finished coffee (Today’s coffee features a bright orange advertisement for ING Direct – thanks coffee station at Flinders Street )
- Start up computer, hear the hum of the hard drive, open up Google Chrome
- Check emails. Be surprised, or overwhelmed by the number of artists out there and their awesome calibre
- Reply to pressing issues on email
- Use my overly simply labelling system of “action”, “actioned” or “awaiting”
- Smile gleefully at how pretty my inbox looks with hundreds of “actioned” labels (they are bright blue and it makes me happy)
- Touch base with my great Manager, help out, create some quotes, put a few acts in a DVD for a client, talk about the fabulous new act that emailed me overnight and how amazed our loyal clients will be with them
- Source some demo material from that new aerial circus performer who does that fresh act of pouring champagne hanging from the ceiling
- Upload the act to www.MusicTheatreAustralia.com.au
- Repeat previous steps until satisfied that enough new acts are getting the exposure they deserve
- At some point in the near future: Log out of email, turn off computer, go home and sleep soundly
- Enter the office the following day, turn on computer, check out www.MusicTheatreAustralia.com.au and smile with self pride at how sparkly the new acts look on the website
- Begin to promote the new acts around the office and talk the talk to clients.
- Be proud of what I aim to achieve for Australia ’s talented performers
- Remove jacket, place on back of chair, take a sip……
MTA Entertainment and Events Artist Liaison – Gareth Hart - is proud to promote, work with and himself be an Australian artist.
You make me laugh, Jont
