8. Seeing is Believing

Obviously you might want to see or hear a bit of the act you intend to hire, particularly if you have other individuals or a committee to work with in making your decision. A good indication of the type of act you are dealing with is if they have audio or video of their show and how easy it is to hear or see the sample.

Clips of a show or examples of what the entertainer does can take many forms: audio tapes, video cassettes, CD ROMS, or website multimedia. Hopefully once you request a sample you receive it quickly.

One thing to consider when listening or seeing samples of a show:

Is it an edited clip with cuts, fades, screen wipes etc? Usually a professional production like this is nice, but sometimes it is nice to see a straight segment of a single show to get a real good idea of what the act is like.
