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.

In other cases the event may be smaller and not require a musical act. However you can still get a bit of celebrity. Lookalikes allow you to get the physical presence of a celebrity without having to pay for the real thing. With both tribute acts and lookalikes it is important to know what you are getting. You want someone who is passionate about the subject as opposed to simply being someone who looks a bit like them. It is not just about size or facial features but also the walk, facial expressions and gestures.

This is why it is worth looking through as many websites and agencies as possible. Furthermore you should also look at as many Neil Diamond videos and appearances as possible. You want someone who has a similar presence without trying too hard to match the real thing.

After you have seen videos it becomes easier to narrow down the options. Ideally you ought to meet the impersonators in person, regardless of whether they represent themselves or get work via an agency. This can then give you a more accurate idea of whether they are appropriate for the event you want to put on. It is also a good chance to discuss more practical issues such as how long they can stay an event and what kind of service they can offer.

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.
