It is often assumed that successful artists have "made it" forever when
they are "discovered" by a producer, director, or agent. But the reality
is that a career in the arts requires research, careful planning,
networking, financial prowess, thoughtful specificity, and dedication to
creating a career with longevity. I'm Talented . . . Now What? helps
aspiring performing artists make actionable plans to pursue a
successful, financially stable career. Using dozens of exercises and
templates throughout, Michelle Loucadoux fosters creativity,
specificity, and practicality through a 16-week workbook suitable for
arts courses. Topics include how to create a marketing plan, presenting
a brand specific to goals, and building a network of industry-related
contacts. Actors, singers, dancers, musicians, and other creatives will
find this book useful in becoming entrepreneurial in their approaches.
