Three Waiter Skills You Need To Be A Singing Waiter

Posted on by

The World of singing entertainment, although seemingly vast, contains but a few avenues for those who want to make it in Singing Waiter Entertainment.

The Amazing Waiters have surprised thousands of guests with their unique form of entertainment.  If you are a singer that loves the thrill of live event entertainment, maybe you have what it takes to be Singing Waiter.

Here are our top three singing waiter criteria:

  1. SINGING IS YOUR CAREER
  2. YOU HAVE ACTUALLY BEEN A WAITER
  3. BE AMAZING AT IMPROVISATION

Criteria Explained

“Well, three…that’s not that much!”, you say…or think…and you might be right.  All of The Amazing Waiter performers have major Broadway, Opera or Theatrical experience.  Or what we call, “Street Cred”.  They’ve earned their stripes as a singer in the real performing world.  That’s “singing is your career”.

Being A Waiter Gives You Amazing Insight In Being A Singing Waiter

“How?” You ask…Well, a singing waiter poses as a waiter.  And we like to think being a method actor is a great approach in this instance.  “Being, is”.  Be a waiter and a singer, and you are by definition, a “Singing Waiter”.  Having experience in how people are in a banquet or party setting will help you immensely when you are tasked to “set up” the show by hoaxing as a waiter.  You have to be believable, know how to pour water, how to set and clear plates, etc.  Know the lingo and you’ll be respected by the staff that  you are trying to look and pose like.  Life just got a lot easier.

Improv will save your backside!

Yes, you’ve learned your parts and you’re ready to sing your little heart out.  But, what makes this type of entertainment fun and scary all at the same time is that the unexpected improv will save your backside as a singing waiterprobably will happen.  And it won’t happen the way you might think.  Having those improvisational skills as an entertainer, not just as a singing waiter, but as a career entertainer will serve you well Jedi!

We at TAW wish you success in your career.  Contact us if you have the skill set discussed.  We are always open to new performers.

The Amazing Waiters are a Southern California Based Act that produces and performs customized surprised entertainment around the world.  www.amazingwaiters.com

 

 

 

 

 

Three Waiter Dubious Domain Divert – UPDATE

Posted on by

Hello Everyone,

Dubious Practices Update

Well, we are happy to inform you, that as of this moment, because we think it might be temporary…the domain, “The Amazing Waiters” is now parked with Go Daddy.  Upon some investigative work, we found that the name servers were changed to reflect the parking and not the redirect that we reported on our earlier blog post on February 19, 2014.  The screen shot reflects that The Three Waiters disconnected the redirect on Feb 21, 2014.

Did The Three Waiters see our blog post?

The Three Waiter Redirect has stopped for the time being.

The Fight Goes On…

We believe The Three Waiters still own the domain as well as our sister company, The Amazing Tenors which, we now report IS currently being redirected to The Three Waiter’s Website.  The real Amazing Tenors website is www.AmazingTenors.com…see for yourselves.

The Three Waiters are an Australian Company

The Three Waiters are an Australian Company with a US Branch in New York City Managed by General Manager, Brad Wilson.  The International Headquarters are in Australia with its majority ownership by Mark Bradley and Mark Bradley International.  The Three Waiters and it’s intricate web of bullying extends World-Wide and has been known to muscle on numerous acts that they feel tread on their type of event entertainment, including Tenors Undercover, and Incognito Artists to name just a couple.

Stop All Dubious Business Practices

In closing, we are formally asking The Three Waiters which is managed by Brad Wilson in New York City to cease and desist all dubious practices and to stop targeting The Amazing Waiters and The Amazing Tenors Brand immediately.  There are better ways to try and get business.

Has Glee! Brought Audiences Back To Broadway?

Posted on by
gleek up people. glee is here to stay

Glee may have changed Broadway forever.

Glee! and it’s bubbly effect on the new Broadway

Every once in a while a TV show comes along that serves as a game changer in the world of television entertainment. This is usually in the form of a show that does not really seem to fit snugly into a specific genre, but which ends up creating a whole new category that subsequent shows try to emulate. Furthermore, it changes the way in which we view other forms of entertainment, often leading fans of said show to seek out something that is in a similar vein, yet which is different in a number of ways.

Such was the impact that Glee! had on the television viewing audience. If you are being totally honest, would you have truly believed that a show featuring a bunch of high school misfits belonging to a glee club would become a success on network television? The vast majority of us would likely have bet on the show failing and being cancelled in a matter of weeks, but it actually went on to capture the imagination of the viewing public, especially among the younger crowd, many of whom quickly identified with the characters portrayed on the show.

There are very few shows, other than the reality variety, that have singing and dancing at their core. While it certainly helped that much of the music being performed on Glee! was current hits done in a very specific style, it was still a surprise that the format took off. What is even more surprising was that it opened up other forms of musical entertainment to a whole new generation, with Broadway musicals perhaps being the biggest benefactor of the Glee! craze. Fans of the show craved more and were prepare to go to other avenues in order to get the entertainment that they loved.

Believe it or not, there are kids out there that have a real interest in the arts, and who would love to act, dance, and sing, but who have felt constrained by peer pressure at the school level. Many of those barriers have been torn down by Glee!, with many schools now adopting new musical programs that mimic those seen on the show. Now that the main barrier has been torn down, younger fans of music and acting are free to discover Broadway singers and shows without fear of being ridiculed when they head back to school.

Scattered among the Broadway standard shows are new musicals that definitely have an appeal that is aimed at a younger demographic. You look at shows like “Rock of Ages,” “Wicked,” and “Once” and you can see that their success is very much dependent on being embraced by a younger audience. The question of whether or not these shows would be the success that they are without the Glee! influence is on that can certainly be argued. What cannot be argued is that the audiences at Broadway shows are now starting to skew a little younger than ever before.

Brides Turn to Disney-Inspired Weddings for a Magical Touch

Posted on by

PLANNING A DISNEY WEDDING?

Different is IN!  Unique is a MUST and hum drum “tradition” is a relic in the modern Bride’s wants for her special Wedding Day.

As entertainers, we’ve seen many interesting weddings.  Some worked and others perhaps didn’t.  One wedding that does go hand and with elegance and magic is a Disney-Inspired Wedding.

DISNEY PRINCESSES

Belle, Cinderella, Jasmine, Ariel, Mulan, Rapunzel, Snow White, Pocahontas, Mulan, Merida, Tiana and Aurora top the list in amazing dresses and fantasy.  Any bride slipping into one of these character-inspired dresses (and shoes, of course) will immediately feel transported into another world.

 

IS THIS YOUR PASSION?

There are many things to consider when planning a Disney Wedding.  First, you’ve gotta’ LOVE Disney…and we mean LOOOOOVE it.  You will be eating, breathing it for several months prior and up through that day with the wedding photos to prove it for years after.

Once you’ve decided this and your betrothed is also on board with your wishes, the sky’s the limit, my Dear!

Here, before moving forward, we’ve decided to make a quick consideration check list.  This should be an initial list.

DISNEY WEDDING CONSIDERATIONS

Venue or Location is the FIRST thing you set.  Sometimes you do this BEFORE   you set the actual date.  These places fill up FAST…sometimes, over 18 months in    advance.  This is why we listed the perhaps, obvious and then the not so obvious.     Let your mind wander.  This is YOUR wedding…YOUR day.

DISNEY PRINCESSES

  • Which Disney Princess are you patterning your Wedding Dress after?  News flash!  Disney has a website that deals with this.  They actually have a Disney “Bridal Collection“.
  • The shoes are pretty important in a Disney Wedding.
  • You could also consider having your dress made by a dress maker or a Hollywood Costume designer.  There are several we know.  You can email us and we will hook you up!

 

THE BRIDAL PARTY

  • This is where it can get tricky.  You are the main princess.  What about your friends and family in the wedding.  How will you handle that?
  • The Groom:  He’s your night in shining armor.  Don’t forget about him.  As below, simple is always nice with that something “Prince-like” as an accessory to set him above the rest.
  • The Groomsmen?  Sometimes, less is more with them.  Black Tuxedos are always nice and will fit numerous Princess themes listed above.
  • The Flower Girl:  She’s the mini-Disney-Princess.  The kids always love dressing up like their favorite princess, just like you!

 

ENTERTAINMENT and WEDDING MUSIC

  • Ceremony Music.  There are many song selections you can pull from the Disney List.  See below.  Here, we list, Violinists, Pianists, Vocalists, Harpists, Trumpeters (very magical), and a Gospel Choir.
  • This is Disney.  Disney shows contain a lot of fabulous music.  Be mindful that a Reception Band probably won’t be a good fit.  You might want to consider a DJ for the main part of the reception.
  • Live Entertainment.  Live Entertainment is now the standard in adding a touch of class to any Wedding.  We like the Singing Waiter Option for events like these.  Yes, that’s us!  Broadway performers, dressed as Staff, or in these cases, we also suggest dressed as Disney Characters, coming out singing special songs like “Brand New World”,  “Home”,  “When You Wish Up On A Star”, “A Dream is a Wish Your Heart Makes” , “Circle of Life”, “Can You Feel the Love Tonight”.  These same singers can also sing at the wedding prior. A great bang for your buck and an exponential “wow” for your guests!
  • Here is a great Disney Wedding Song List (and more) that deals from the Ceremony and into the Reception.

SPECIAL TOUCHES AND NUANCES

  • Horse-Drawn Carriages.
  • A Disney Castle Wedding Cake
  • Disney Characters Entertain at Cocktails
  • A Barbershop Quartet for the Disneyland Experience.
  • Fireworks (sparklers work too) at the end of the night.

Jackman Delivers in The Wolverine

Posted on by

Jackman Delivers in The Wolverine

This past weekend we went to see the latest X Men offspring opening, starring Broadway Star Hugh Jackman in The Wolverine.  Considered by many critics and movie analysts the only hope of a mega budget movie going into the plus side for the entire month of July, Jackman and a mostly non-descript cast deliver a “go-see” movie.  Mind you, we are not saying it’s AMAZING, but it is worth the $12 to have some decent entertainment that has some great moments.  Also, we are happy to see a good actor that had his beginnings in Musical Theater carrying a movie with a budget like this.

CNN has just reported that the Marvel-Owned Movie made over 55 Million Dollars this past weekend with “no competition this weekend…running in 3,924 locations — on target with studio estimates, but far below tracking projections”.  But considering what disappointments preceded this month-ending movie, it’s a breath of fresh air.

The movie, directed by James Mangold, has an interesting pace, starting out in what seems to be somewhere in the “middle” of Logan’s (Wolverine) life.  He’s a Japanese POW just before the “bomb” was dropped in WWII.  At this point, he already has his extraordinary powers so you don’t get any more information about his “past” for the rest of the movie.  In fact, the movie moves forward about 50-60 years forward from there.

Most of the movie takes place in Japan with a mostly Japanese cast.  Jackman’s Co-Star and love interest, Tao Okamoto is charming and does a nice understated job of acting.  The introduction of an Anime character “Yukio”, played by a relative unknown Fushia-Haired Rila Fukishima is adorable and dangerous, all at the same time.  The martial-arts sequences with her are great!

The story-line has is foibles and the plot and penultimate ending is pretty loose but make sure you stick around for the movie credits, X-Men fans won’t be disappointed.  Just sayin’!

We found it refreshing that the movie wasn’t bound to using “name” actors that American audiences would equate with what characters would appear in this movie.  And since it isn’t an X-Men movie, we were pleasantly relieved that we wouldn’t be able to put together a scenario at the opening credits.

The Wolverine has moderate violence and we would make sure you observe the Rating of PG-13.

Adam Lambert to Star on Glee!

Adam Lambert to grace the set of Glee Adam Lambert

We are very happy to hear that Adam Lambert will be on Glee in some capacity next season.  The former Musical Theater Performer has come a long way since his stint on a Los Angeles stage with Val Kilmer in “The Ten Commandments.“.

Speculation has been running rampant as to what Lambert’s role will be.   Initially Lambert stated he would like to play himself.  Why not?  The guy has morphed into an undisputable representative of the minority and with a rampant following of Glamberts he may transform the entertainment landscape again by creating Gleekerts.  No matter… American Idol really goofed when they didn’t work out a deal for Adam to become a judge on his former star transporter possibly giving the show a jolt out of the DOA fix it’s gotten itself into.

Congrats!

Old Hollywood Entertainment With A Modern Twist

Posted on by

Latest Trend: Old Hollywood

Are we late in labeling it? Old Hollywood has returned! Everywhere we seem to turn, days of yore are popping up. Everywhere from TV with Mad Men, to the resurgence of Rat Pack shows (Vegas) to clothing styles on the Red Carpet. It’s everywhere.

Is the public following or leading this trend? Traditionally, trends are set by media and followed by the general public. But is the tail wagging the dog here?

The Amazing Waiters have a great Rat Pack Show.

Relaxed and Entertaining.

Style Never Goes Out Of Vogue – Permanently
There an old saying, “If I hold on to it long enough, it will come back in style.” (God help us if the feathered back hair style re-emerges) and if you’ve lived long enough in this World, you will see that History does tend to repeat itself, even in fashion.

We have to say, we like Old Hollywood. We like almost everything about it. We even patterned a show after it. The reason. It’s cool. It’s retro and people still love good wholesome entertainment.

Old Hollywood is the epitome of style and class. It’s hard to think of another Era that can rival it. 1927-1963 is generally the accepted span of its hey day. Starting with the end of the Silent Film Era and starting with the film “The Jazz Singer” (1927). Nicely detailed by film theorist, David Bordwell, Old Hollywood was the second boom of American Cinema. The first being Silent Movies. Bordwell’s detailed chronicle is worth some reading if you have a good weekend.

It’s not hard to understand why this type of old school entertainment still is desired today. Dean Martin, Frank Sinatra, Sammy Davis Jr. had it goin’ on!
