Nicole Astell

Nicole graduated from the University of Iowa with dreams of being a director, but talent representation ended up being her calling instead. She has been a talent manager with Prestige Management Group for ten years! (She obviously started at the age of 13-years-old because no way is she old enough to have worked somewhere for 10 years!) 😉

Prior to Prestige, she was a talent agent for a Philadelphia modeling & talent agency, and interned with Liz Lewis Casting and Paladino Casting. Nicole's clients have worked on Broadway, in studio feature films, and all New York television shows.

Her clients' credits include: "Frozen" on Broadway, Equalizer 2, Steven Spielberg's The Post, Billions, Blacklist, Ghost, SVU, Blue Bloods, Evil, FBI, New Amsterdam, Manifest, etc and two series regulars working on two new streaming shows coming out in 2023!

Erin Burris

While pursuing a degree in performance she gained an interest in talent management and shortly after graduating moved to New York City. Prior to joining the team at Whole Artist Management Erin was an intern and a freelance casting assistant at Binder Casting where she assisted on projects including THE LION KING (Broadway), EMOJILAND (Off-Broadway), and The York Theatre's Musicals in Muftis Series. Erin earned a dual degree in Musical Theatre and Communication from the State University of New York at Geneseo.
