Elvis Impersonator Acts Are Superb

By Jacqueline McFadden


Of all the celebrities that are impersonated, there is nobody that is impersonated more than Elvis Presley. The king of rock and roll is thought by many to be the greatest entertainer and singer of all time. When there is a need for an Elvis impersonator, it will never be difficult to find one.

With these impersonators so numerous, a name has even been created for them. ETAs, also known as Elvis tribute artists, is a name given to those who make their living off of doing impersonations of the king. Some of the guys are so great at what they do that some people will swear that it is really Presley. Due to such good acts, many people in the past have claimed to have seen the real life king, even though he has past many years ago.

Usually, a person will specialize in impersonating one particular icon. The demand for Presley has led to many impersonators choosing him as the icon that they want to perfect. He is so popular that he is probably the only musician to ever have a radio station dedicated to them. They will play only his music, talk about him and give interesting facts about his career.

Every impersonator seems to specialize their act on a specific time during the kings life. As an example, there are some who will dress and sing like the king of the 1960s. Likewise, some may prefer to impersonate the heavier 1970s Presley.

There are some Presley impersonators who cannot sing at all. Because of this, they concentrate on their looks more than anything else. The stylish costumes, wigs and other accessories are used to make these look-a-likes look identical to the king of rock and roll.

On the other hand, there are some who do not try to look like the king, instead they mimic the kings voice and sing like him. Of course, the very best are those who combine everything. These individuals sing, dance, look like and even shake their hips like the legendary artist.

Not all impersonators are professionals and may just do it for fun. Lots of times, amateurs will enter into a Presley contest to win some kind of prize. These contest are very fun as there are so many different kinds of Presleys at these events. You will be able to see Presleys from all ethnic backgrounds and body types. You will find European, African, Hispanic and Asian Elvis's. You will find Presleys that are skinny, heavy set, midgets, old men and even little kid impersonators. A king of rock and roll impersonator contest is one of the most entertaining events that a person can ever watch.

There has never been a singer to reach some a fan base as the king did. You will find fans from every generation listening to his music. If you are ever having an event and need an Elvis impersonator, there will be no shortage of auditions. Most will be so good that it will be a real dilemma choosing amongst them.
