Negotiating long-term residencies
Understand travel, housing, and per diem terms before you sign.
Residencies offer stability when contracts are negotiated carefully. Clarify base pay, overtime, and tip policies, and confirm who covers housing, meals, and travel. Ask about rehearsal schedules, blackout dates, and gear storage. If you double as bandleader or handle tech duties, request additional compensation. Document everything and keep a copy inside ExploreTalent so you can reference terms easily if staffing changes mid-run.
