Barbara as Bette Midler Impersonator

Barbara Bea creates a high energy big voice Bette look a like and sound a like performance that all audiences would love. A mature audience might appreciate Soph and Ernie jokes interspersed with classic songs Bette has sang for years, from Wind Beneath My Wing to the Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy. The event can be from 20 minutes to an hour with audience interaction and customized according to audience and venue.

Currently, I reside near the Houston metro area. I travel all over Texas with a 500 watt portable PA system & will travel to other states and abroad for performances if travel expenses are met. Training in communications, voice and acting along with and my radio experience as a dee jay for a couple of classical stations was invaluable and I loved doing voice overs and radio commercials. This past year I began performing as an impersonator at the Sunburst Convention in Orlando, FL and the CIC in Las Vegas. As an entertainer available on Gigsalad I have had several gigs in 2009 from birthday parties to conventions ranging from 50 - 200 guests. Some gigs were also pro bono but only for a few such as the Sentinels of Freedom, Bay Area Chapter. I will be master of ceremonies for a luncheon and fashion show and sing Boogie Woogie Bugle boy and dedicate with Wind Beneath my Wings. I have a two octave range in singing and love singing the array of wonderful ballads and challenging songs Bette sings. I too try to sing them with intense emotion as Bette does and sometimes I can barely get through her songs because of the intense emotions it stirs. Fortunately, I sound a lot like better when I tell her jokes and sing! I have been a tribute artist for Bette for over two years working hard to perform with her mannerisms, voice and voice inflections with Soph and Ernie Jokes. I look very similar and talk like Bette I am told naturally even without trying. Book ahead today and contact me here or on my website: (link hidden)
