So many people that are in the entertainment sector have managers. These managers help the artists in different capacities to navigate the rigorous terrains of the showbiz. But one often wonders what the real role of an artist manager is. Are the roles defined everywhere or they are specific to certain individuals. How are they paid? Is it a commission or they are on monthly salary?

The connection of a manager is what really helps an artist so much because the manager will definitely have a better standing when it comes to negotiating better deal for the artist.

The managers are the ones that promote the artists and put them out there to be seen so that they can be called for shows and events. I think their wage is on commission basis

A manager is very important to an artist. They are responsible for connecting them with clients and making a schedule so that events don't clash. I guess they are paid monthly. Some added responsibilities could be available that are different with each individual artist.

The manager is the one that negotiates fees. The artist can focus on being creative while the manager focuses on doing the business. Any successful artists you know has a great manager.

Yes, that's very correct. The manager of any celebrity or artists, puts them out there to maximize their talent. They are all for the money.

I do think that most managers know what to do whatever industries they are in. Being a manager is knowledgeable with his or her role while handling his or her subordinates.

An artist manager is quite different from a corporate manager being that an artist manager is managing talents. An artist manager has to be very sensitive to trends in the industry and know how to tap in ams make a cash out.

Having a capable manager is essential to the success of an artist. While the artist focuses on nurturing his/her skills and performance, the manager helps to promote him/her to the market, get jobs for him/her, negotiates contracts and manages his/her schedules. I think the manager is paid on commission basis.

A manager is almost as important a the artist himself. The artist manager tries everything possible to sell an artist. A good artist manager can bring you deals that would make you more money and more famous.

This is why we see that almost every artist in the world have their managers and the ones who do not have either not financially capable to have a manager or maybe they're having a rift with their manager because the manager is important
