Here at Gig Salad we are always looking for new ways to improve the site for members and event planners alike. We like adding new tools to help our members get better leads and book bigger gigs. While we aren’t rolling out new features every day (we always like to test things before we release them into the wild, so to speak), we are constantly working on new and exciting ways to help everyone get better exposure and book bigger gigs. Sometimes that means improving GigSalad.com, but we’re not greedy, and we like to help our performers improve their own sites as well. Such was the motivation behind one new feature that we released Monday, and we’re now telling everyone about it!
Behind the scenes of Celebrity Impersonation, Part 2
We hope you enjoyed the first installment of our look behind the scenes of Celebrity Impersonation, but there is more to come! We now present Chapter 2, a look at what it takes to really “become” the celebrity!
Celebrity Impersonators: A Day in the Life of Someone Else
Gig Salad is committed to the success of every event, but we’re also committed to the success of our members. For that reason, we decided to undertake a comprehensive study of the most popular entertainers, from our most popular categories, and give you a secret look “behind the scenes,” as it were, to show you A Day in the Life….
Although this was originally meant to be a single story, thanks to the overwhelming response we received from the members we interviewed, we decided to release this as a multi-part series to provide everyone with an in-depth look at the world of celebrity impersonation, from what it means to what it takes to succeed, even what it takes to get started in the business. If you look in the mirror every morning and say to yourself, “Self, you’re really awesome, and you look an awful lot like Steve Martin,” perhaps you could be a wild and crazy guy, too.
