The Turkish market. The stages of Istanbul and Ankara, orchestras, theatres, studios and the entertainment industry employ performers and artists; parallel tracks are teaching and commercial projects. Because ranges are re-indexed annually with the minimum wage, treat any salary figure as valid for its year only.

What raises income: competitions and festivals, a showreel or portfolio, a teaching qualification. We break down up-to-date salary ranges by city and employer in a free consultation.
