Setting Up Sound and Lighting for Your Event

As I've mentioned in previous posts, the two most important things for a corporate event entertainer to have a successful performance is that they are both easily SEEN and HEARD by the audience. If either one of these things are missing in a performance, much is lost and the event can even become a disaster.

Proper set up of good, quality sound equipment is crucial; especially for larger events with more than 100 people in attendance. The location and layout of the sound equipment (or PA system) is just as important as the quality of the equipment itself.

In this week's video, I show a less-than-ideal set-up at a live event, and how that being flexible helped make it work in spite of everything and that the event was still a smashing success.

Curtis The Mentalist

Curtis Waltermire is an American speaker, mentalist, entertainer, actor, and businessman. He's also a former pastor and Christian minister, who spent many years in Christian ministry in his younger days and taught in a private seminary for a few years. Over the past 15 years, he's been billed as a professional comedy "mentalist, magician, speaker, actor, U.S. Army veteran, grandpa, cool dad and above-average husband," which has been in his signature for years--even before the "grandpa" part. In the last few years he's added "podcaster" and "content creator" to the list. Today he and his wife enjoy life as empty-nesters, traveling, entertaining and speaking at events all throughout the United States in addition to creating online content. He's been married to the same wonderful woman for 32 years, raised two wonderful girls, has 1.5 sons-in-law and by the grace of God maintains his sanity in a culture that seems to be losing it's mind.
