Neil Diamond Impersonators And Tribute Acts

By Kate McMahon


Whether it is a wedding, a corporate event or a product launch it helps to add a bit of stardom to proceedings. While it may be prohibitively expensive to get a celebrity it is possible to get a lookalike or tribute act. Knowing how to find the best Neil Diamond impersonators and tribute acts will help you to get the most fun from your event.

The most famous person to impersonate the signer is Will Ferrell. However that impression was done strictly for laughs. Most people hired to impersonate a celebrity take the role very seriously and recognise that the people who want to hire them are usually fans and expect a performance that pays tribute to the singer.

What you need to consider is whether you want someone who is a lookalike or a tribute act. A lookalike is someone who resembles a celebrity but does not necessarily sound like them and indeed may not necessarily be a singer. The benefit of this is that it can provide a talking point at an event.

A tribute act is different in that the person not only looks like a celebrity but can also sing like them. In some instances they may specialise in a certain period of their life. Usually this will be the peak time of their career or a specific style. Typically with Neil Diamond the shiny suit is something that is often strongly associated with him. While this is likely to cost more than a lookalike it is easier to market a tribute concert as an event and indeed many tribute acts are very much in demand as popular acts in and of themselves.

Once you know what you want it is worth checking online to see what is available in your local area. Some people may work independently and have their own website where you can contact them directly. Look carefully and consider how much they resemble the singer. You do not want to have to explain to the guests who the actor is supposed to impersonate.

There are also agencies available that will have a number of people on their books who can attend events in various places. One of the advantages of using an agency is you can talk to them specifically about what you want. They can then find someone who suits your specifications. However it is still a good idea to see them in person as people can easily edit a video or audio to make themselves appear more effective than they are in person.

For example you may want them to be a master of ceremonies or you may simply just want them there for photo opportunities. Equally you need to discuss issues such as liability insurance and their fee. Talking to a number of potential people will make it easier to make a final decision.

In short as with any service it pays to shop around when choosing Neil Diamond impersonators. Think carefully about what you want and how long you want them for an event. Look online to see agencies and individuals in your local area to find the best impersonator to suit your needs.
