“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.
