Microphone Preference: Earset microphone. I can use handheld or lavalier, but I much prefer an earset mic, if possible, due to my inherent nature of moving my hands. :)

Sound: I will need to be able to project my music through a sound system - I can bring it in any format that is needed. (FYI: I have been given license to use all the music I perform).

Visual: If a powerpoint / slides are preferred or requested, I will need a projector, screen and ability to share them. I can bring it in any format that is needed.
