Overview

Terac runs a paid study on how talent buyers judge emerging New York City artists, and the findings shape how a live-music booking platform surfaces new acts. You read short musician profiles, watch their clips, and answer a few questions about whether the act fits a room. Each profile takes about two minutes, and you set your own hours. Hands-on talent buying experience in the NYC market counts for more here than any software. Your notes feed straight into an artist discovery process that lives or dies on booking decisions.

What You'll Do7

Work through musician profiles at your own pace, reading each bio and genre list before you answer.
Watch performance clips to judge how an artist reads on stage.
Check the stated rate and availability before you commit to a verdict.
Decide whether you would book the act and record that answer on the page.
Name the kinds of rooms or venue types that suit each artist's style.
Add a one-line note that captures the reasoning behind your call.
Finish the full question set for every profile you review.

Requirements6

A record of booking live music or handling talent for a venue.
Comfort reading promo material such as bios, press copy, and performance clips.
Working knowledge of venue capacities and room types across the New York City market.
A feel for matching an act to a specific audience and space.
Ability to reach a booking decision in roughly two minutes per profile.
Based in the USA, since Terac runs this study for US participants only.

Who Should Apply

Talent buyers, venue managers, booking agents, and promoters who already book live music in New York City. The work suits people who can glance at a rate, a genre tag, and a clip, then name the room where that act belongs.
