Many talented people are trying to be discovered. They have practiced hard, taken lessons, and devoted a lot of time to their art. What is the best way to get discovered for their talent?
In the old days, the only answer was to perform in public as much as possible. This is easier for a dancer or a singer, but for a photographer or a graphic artist this is not as easy. Today, the best way is probably to join a site dedicated to artistic talents. Many times though, the artist finds that the site is actually there to make money for itself, rather than the artists.
There are various sites for musicians such as Taxi, and Broadjam. These sites require payment for registration, and if you submit an item to answer a particular request, that may cost you as well. There are many photographic sites that encourage you to submit your photos, but does anyone in the industry actually see them? What about writing ? If you write short stories, novels or even poetry, is there a way to get your works out there?
There is a new website called Taltopia that may be the answer for many artists. Artists can register at the site free of charge, unlike many of the others. There are many features to this site including posting your work and having it rated by others. There is also a casting section where you may browse actual requests for certain types of art or music. There is also a contest section, where you can submit photos, music, video and writing, to win prizes. You may also make it to the front page which increases your exposure. In addition to all of this, there is an extensive industry connection list where you will find hundreds of industry statistics like email addresses.
The way to be discovered is in exposure, and the internet is making that easier and more organized. If you are an artist, hopefully one of these sites will bring you to the attention of people that appreciate your talents, especially people in the industry that just might start you on your road to an important career.
