I have a speaker which accommodates up to about 50 guests. I only need a power socket near the performance space. For events larger than 50 people, the client will need to organise speakers if they would like amplification. I have a microphone with receiver which I can provide for events.
I have my own PA system and microphone. My speaker is powerful enough for maximum 50 guests.
I am so fortunate to have performed for so many spectacular events and amazing clients. Some highlights include singing on the Sydney Opera House stage, looking out to the audience singing the final notes as the curtain closed. Another highlight was gliding down a spiral staircase singing an aria for the British Fashion Awards after party, the spotlight following me down as my voice soared above the audience. You could have heard a pin drop as my final note floated away! Other highlights include singing with string quartets for stylish weddings and watching the bride holding back tears as she hears her favourite song as she walks down the aisle and of course receiving standing ovations after my final high note for large corporate gigs, where the guests come from all areas of life but are united in listening to classical pieces fill the room.
I typically perform opera and classical crossover pieces with backing tracks.
I can also provide a comedy, surprise entry for events where they want a mix of comedy and great singing. Each surprise is scripted for the event, whether I am a guest at a wrong venue or adjudicating a Beauty Pageant that...oops is on next week! A great way to get the audience laughing and then surprising them when I segway into the singing part.
Depending on the venue and sound system, I am happy to perform outside.
I work closely with clients to decide on the repertoire. I have an extensive list of songs from lots of different genres and usually clients are happy to be guided by me. Sometimes they have a favourite piece they want sung and I am happy to accommodate this depending on the piece and lead up time to the event.
Unforgettable, elegant, magical, professional and entertaining for a wide variety of audiences.
