Secrets Of A Neil Diamond Impersonator

By Catalina Nielsen


There are many ways to impress guests at a party or event through the entertainment provided. People enjoy performances such as comedy acts, variety shows, cover bands and dancing troupes. For several decades one of the most sought after types of talent has been that of the Neil Diamond impersonator.

For more than forty years Neil Diamond has been entertaining the masses with his smooth sultry voice and charismatic charms. His songs are sung by those of multiple generations because of their timeless value. If this star, or a quality representation of him, were to make an appearance at an event, there will be no doubt that the audience will be well pleased.

A tribute artist is one who pays homage to an iconic figure by performing their music, though an impersonator takes this dedication to a new level. They spend an enormous amount of time fine tuning their likeness to the celebrity on many different facets. Their goal is to perfect not just their appearance, but their movements and voice as well.

Even the littlest detail must be attended in order to get the biggest impact. When choosing to imitate someone as well known as this, those small things can be major. He has some of the most dedicated followers and to them, his appearance, his movements and especially his voice are instantly recognizable and if someone is going to copy them, it had better be done correctly.

To get started in this field, one must first have similar facial features to the celebrity. Serious performers will do all within their power to look as much like their subject as humanly possible from smile to hair and body. In this particular scenario, imitating clothing is a matter of finding the right tight pants and super flashy shirt that blouses and has a low cut neck, perfect for displaying chest hair, and adding a scarf from the jazz singer era.

Movements are equally important because this is something fans will instantly notice if not properly done. People, especially those in the spotlight, have certain trademark gestures that set them apart such as the way they smile. It could be as simple as the way a hand is swiped around to his self assured hair flips right down to the swagger in the man's gait as he crosses the stage.

Finally, and vital to creating a total package, the tribute performer must do everything possible to mimic the sound of such a powerful voice. This is probably the most difficult because not only is his sound deep and sultry, it is also extremely unique and cherished by many. Most of those serious about being as authentic as possible often spend an immense amount of time training vocally in order to get the right pitch and growl.

In order to become a great Neil Diamond impersonator, one must be willing to dedicate a lot to the little details. As one of the most celebrated of American entertainers, he has a multiple generational appeal. That is why when one decides to take the stage as this celebrity and chooses to sing an iconic favorite such as "Sweet Caroline", it must be done perfectly if they wish to gain the approval of their audience.
