About Michael
Michael Ashley Ball, born on 27 June 1962, is an English singer, presenter, and actor known for his work in musical theatre. He made his West End debut in 1985 portraying Marius Pontmercy in the original production of Les Misérables. His portrayal of Alex Dillingham in the musical Aspects of Love in 1989 brought him significant recognition, including a hit single titled 'Love Changes Everything' which reached number two in the UK singles chart. Ball has appeared in various prominent West End productions, including Raoul de Chagny in The Phantom of the Opera, Giorgio Bachetti in Passion, Caractacus Potts in Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, and Jean Valjean in a performance for the Queen at Windsor Castle. He has also played roles in revivals of Les Misérables, Sweeney Todd, Chess, and Hairspray. In 2008 and 2013, he received the Laurence Olivier Award for Best Actor in a Musical for his performances as Edna Turnblad and Sweeney Todd respectively. He competed in the Eurovision Song Contest in 1992, finishing second with the song 'One Step Out of Time', and achieved chart-topping success with his album Coming Home To You. In 2020, he and Captain Tom Moore reached number one in the UK singles chart with a cover of 'You'll Never Walk Alone'. Ball's contributions to musical theatre have been recognized with his appointment as Officer of the Order of the British Empire in 2015. Throughout his career, he has continued to perform, reprising roles and participating in tours, including the 2024 Les Misérables: The Arena Spectacular World Tour.

FAQs
Every question we get asked before
someone starts their trial.
If you have a concern about deliverability, AI quality, data privacy, or whether this will actually work for your specific situation, it's probably answered below.
What is the difference between Founder Solo and Founder Pro?
Founder Solo gives you 50 AI pitches per month using the credit model (Standard pitches cost 1 credit, Enriched pitches cost 2). Founder Pro raises that to 200 credits per month and adds full Booking Probability access, unlimited Magic Match, Apollo enrichment credits, and data export capabilities. Both plans use the same credit system, so you can stretch your monthly budget further by using Standard-mode drafting.
How do agency tiers work?
Agency tiers have no base fee. You pay per managed client and per talent profile. Agency Standard is $199 per client per month; Agency Pro is $399 per client per month. Both add $39 per talent profile per month. Your own team's user seats are always free.
What is a talent profile?
A talent profile represents one person (founder, executive, or spokesperson) you are booking onto podcasts. It includes their bio, topics, headshots, and outreach history. Team plans include 5 profiles; agency plans are pay-as-you-go.
Can I switch plans later?
Yes, at any time. Upgrades take effect immediately; downgrades apply at the end of the current billing period. Contact support if you need help migrating between plan families.
Do you offer a free trial?
Every paid plan includes a 15-day free trial. Your card is saved at signup but you will not be charged until day 16. Cancel any time from your dashboard.
What happens if I cancel?
You keep access until the end of your current billing period. No charges after that. Your data is retained for 30 days in case you reactivate.
Is the 20% annual discount automatic?
Yes. Select Annual on the pricing toggle and the discounted price is applied automatically at checkout. The annual price shown is the full year cost.
What if I have more than 50 profiles or 20 clients?
That is our Enterprise tier. Contact our sales team and we will build a custom plan with volume pricing, a dedicated account manager, and SLA guarantees.
