Talent Manager, Melann Kahle Atkinson

Melann Kahle Atkinson has worked in the teaching and entertainment industry for over 20 years. She is the owner of Smart Talent L.A., with headquarters in Santa Monica CA where she trains, coaches, and manages beginning to advanced level youth and teen talent.   Melann places young talent with the best agents in Florida, NY, and Hollywood, CA.  

Smart Talent is one of the top youth artist development studios in the U.S. and has a high success rate.  Melann is the founder of the "Scene Makers":    A troupe that trained with her on a weekly basis and performs in community-based shows, raising money and awareness for the non-profit Brain Injury Association of Florida and other philanthropic endeavors. She is a former television producer, creating and producing the show, "MAKING A SCENE! The show that shows kids how to put on a show," which aired on PAX and featured her troupe.

Melann is an experienced teacher and dedicated to helping families help their child break into the  business.  A former elementary school teacher, she now coaches and represents some of the most promising child and teen actors, models, singers and dancers in the U.S.  She is frequently asked to privately coach talent as they prepare for auditions and showcases important to their budding careers.

From training, to performance opportunities, to expert guidance with photos/portfolios, to signing with agents, and professional coaching with the ultimate goal of landing auditions, no other commission based talent manager does so many things with the children's best interest at heart.

Smart Talent's area of specialization is in guiding and encouraging youth talent, building their self-esteem, and helping them achieve their dreams while assisting parents who want to get their child or teen into the entertainment business but do not know where to begin, or where to turn. Melann guides parents through every step, and offers training and services that instill a love and respect for the arts, and that are tailor made for each child's realistic goals and expectations.  

Smart Talent is the starting point of your child's star potential.
