On average, celebrity impersonators cost $300-$500. However, this price will vary depending on the impersonator you choose, their experience level, and what you want them to do. Short appearances for photo ops will cost less than a stage show with costume changes and a full performance.
Impersonators aspire to look and sound just like the celebrity they are impersonating. From their clothes to their speaking voice to their mannerisms, they will embody their star of choice completely. You can hire an impersonator to pose for photos with your guests, do a singing telegram, act as emcee for your event, or perform a full stage show, depending on the artist’s specific skill level.
Performers that impersonate a famous singer will often have a talent for both looking and sounding like that artist. However, some might not be able to match their singing voice exactly and may choose to lip-sync to tracks instead. The impersonators that do perform live and do it very well will often be a bit more expensive.
An impersonator is often a look-alike first and foremost – they focus on looking and acting exactly like the celebrity they are impersonating from their costumes to their mannerisms to their voice. A tribute artist might also bear a resemblance to a celebrity, but their main focus is on paying tribute to the original musician’s music catalog, sometimes even with their own twists on the songs.
There are a bunch of different types of impersonators you can hire for your event. Celebrities with iconic looks, mannerisms, and voices are always most common – think Elvis Presley, Michael Jackson, and Marilyn Monroe. Crooners from the 50s and 60s are also popular, like Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin. Browse impersonators on GigSalad to see all the options available to you!
People love meeting celebrities, which makes impersonators a really fun choice for all types of events. You can hire a look-alike to stroll the red carpet and pose for photos at your corporate event, surprise a loved one for their birthday, attract crowds to your trade show booth, or even perform at a prom or wedding reception!
