Diana Chrisman Emcee/Announcer/Compare/Host & Female Vocalist/Singer

Microphone and sound system, although I can bring a basic set up if necessary.

Where to park, where to enter the building & who I am meeting on site. If there is a break room available.

I can provide a basic set up if necessary.

Yes.

Yes, I have a car, and am willing to drive locally.

I've performed in a variety of venues to both big and small audiences. From the London Palladium, to Celebrity Cruises, local conference centres, to church halls and everything in between. I've enjoyed them all - The gig is about the people and the atmosphere we create for the event, not the size of the space.

Singing gigs are always fun, no matter where I'm performing. I love connecting with the audience and taking them on a storytelling journey through a song.

In terms of Hosting: I love hosting all sorts of events, but Charity events can be very rewarding. The intergrity with which they are run is in alignment with delivering a classy, yet relatable vibe, rather than a put-on, empty "announcer voice". That being said, events with kids can be fun, and corporate events too.

I'm a trained Musical Theatre Actor, with experience in TV, Film, Voiceover and Commercials too. I've worked as an Actor & Singer for 20+ years in the Entertainment Industry. In between Acting work over the years I have worked in various other role in events work, from Brand Ambassador roles, to Catering & singing in vocal groups. Hosting onstage for Q&As after shows, running a muster station at boat drills while performing as a Production Vocalist on cruise ships and Emceeing at Dance Competitions has given me a love of presenting and hosting events.

I enjoy any hosts that are personable and make you relax and smile.

Yes, I always keep it up to date.

Minimal set up. Dependant on how much information is given ahead of time, I am prepared to start soon after arrival. Can cold read if necessary, however when hosting, it is appreciated if extra time can be given to view a script when there is difficult pronunciations in the dialogue.

Yes, weather and bugs permitting!

When Hosting, dialogue or talking points can be changed on the night if necessary. I am happy "filling", off the cuff, if needs be.

Previous customers have observed that I arrive prepared and organised, and that my performance is engaging and professional. They enjoy my standard British accent, and comment on how comfortable I am in adapting, filling or covering if there is a delay in proceedings for some reason. I can make the audience comfortable using comedy and charm. If singing, they are always complimentary about my voice & performance.
