A greatl site for finding Live acts for hire.


Are you looking for live entertainers and performers to add to your next gig, wedding, party or corporate event?
www.talentainer.com could be just the ticket (no pun intended).
This is a video driven site - a performer's video directory if you like where you can go to see video footage of the various acts before making the decision to hire them.

I loved watching many of the acts here (some were absolutely brilliant) and how the you could preview live performances before hiring them through the site.
There was everything here from comedy to juggling to live bands and magicians - a real mix of talent (better than Youtube I think because it is specifically designed to make it easy to find the acts you are searching for - and no annoying ads plus the postings are by professionals who are in the entertainment frame of mind).

This is good news for people looking for quality performers - without any flops.

Here is a must see - would be great for any event I think Ventriloquist kjthebirdman on Talentainer.com

As a sideline it's also great for quality acts wanting to promote themselves to a wider audience.
Looks like a win win situation all round.
Check out the videos at Talentainer.com

Ps: Looking for a comedian? Check out Frankie - (very funny) and the other great acts.

Promote your music with your own virtual TV station.


Want some powerful online tools for DIY promotion?
I have been experimenting with the Helloworld suite of products after opening an account last year and I have come to the conclusion that this is an amazing toolbox for any musician serious about promoting their music with streaming video.
I have recently posted material on their online TV station which is already generating a flow of good traffic and puts me in the running to win prizes and a spot on national TV.
Some musicians are also opting for broadcasting their live shows.
You can also podcast, videoblog and send streaming video via email which is guaranteed to get attention (and you can easily add video to your website - All the coding is done for you).
What I really love is the creativity I have with these tools and their ease of use.
While YouTube and Myspace have their place (I have used both) I think the old saying "You get what you pay for" is true.
For less than the price of a movie and burger per month I can have the same tools available to the big players which levels the playing field.
Move over commercial TV, the indies are coming....
