About Talent OnLine Entertainment Network

Talent Online Entertainment Network is an agency that books entertainers and speakers for events in Australia and New Zealand. It is based in Totara Park, Manukau City, and it lists performers in Auckland, Wellington, Hamilton, Tauranga, Christchurch, Dunedin, Queenstown and several Australian cities. The site sorts its entertainers into bands and cover bands, casino tables, children's entertainers, Christmas acts, comedy, dancers, dinner theatre shows, DJs, jazz, magicians and circus acts, novelty acts, solo and duo musicians, and tribute shows. Its speakers cover after-dinner talks, business and sales, communication skills, compering and MC work, motivation, and team building.

The agency says it would rather keep a smaller, carefully chosen roster than a large catalogue, so each performer has been picked for being reliable. It offers pre-packaged adult party themes and dinner theatre shows, where the client chooses a theme, a budget and the number of guests, and the show is built around the evening, speeches and awards. Clients who have used its magicians and speakers describe a strong response from audiences, including people who said they did not usually enjoy magic, and a speaker who was praised for an enthusiastic presentation.
