I REALLY APPRECIATE YOUR NICE VIDEO. VERY EDUCATIONAL AS I INTERN WORK WITH A WELL -RENOWNED MUSICIAN ❤

[alertbox]

Brilliant video. You do the work of ten people!

Surely the Artists are like the Director in organisational structure. They provide The Vision and let everyone else do the work.

[HaseenaChandni]

Thanks for sharing this video. This was an eye opener for sure. People don't realise how much effort goes into doing this type of work. Any small mistake can affect how an event is likely to turn out to be.

I love the gramophone tat. Enjoyed listening to you

[karmagirl]

I just googled average salaries for production coordinators- it's a terribly small numbers compared to the hours and duties this woman is listing off. I guess the excitement of the job and the connections help but honestly with so much on the line these people holding the tour together deserve more.

Amazing video!! I love it. I have a doubt about what is then a road manager or is the same as a tour manager, and in what structure would it be ? thank youu

[MiloBrixby]

Who is responsible for scheduling and booking travel for artists? Who pays for the artist's travel (tour sponsor, radio and tv promoters, etc.).

[brandonradford]

Great informative video!

I’m trying to get into the music industry in the music management side of it! Where do you suggest to start or do you have any possible tips to get into the door anywhere!?

Thanks!

The table with the purple cloth and plant. lol

[patrickl.puckett]

I'm currently a stagehand but my ambition is to be a production manager. How would you recommend I get there? Do I need school, if so what degree? Do I just work my way up from stagehand to tech and so on? What's the path?

[lesliea.]

Love this vid! Do you have any degree related to this field or did you work your way up? Also, how do you get/find jobs working for these artists? Thanks in advance! ❤️

[alexisguy]

Thank you for sharing this video. I am interested in moving into this field. Is there a specific degree you need to get into the touring career?

[paigebmusic]

Wow that's a lot of responsibility! Do people on the tour management team still have jobs when no tour is happening?

[florenceurbain]

Hi, I am just seeing this video right now but I completely loved it ! I am currently studying Public Relations and I am looking for an internship for next year and I would love to do it with a tour manager. Do you have any tips for me to help me find an internship in this side of the music industry ? Thanks

[krystleirvin]

All my ex told me I could never do this because of their insecurities. Idk I always think either find something to do and come along or find someone to keep you warm while I'm away sorry can't split me in half. 🙄😢
