The Many Great Elvis Impersonator Acts Out There

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.

Because of the amount of these impersonators, a name has been created for them. They are called ETAs, which is short for Elvis tribute artists. To be part of this group, a person has to be one who makes a living off of his act. Many of them are so great at their job that they can fool others into believing that they really are the king. It is because of these great acts that there have been many reports by fans that they saw the real king and that he is still alive.

Impersonators will usually choose one person to impersonate. If they do more than one celebrity, they will usually specialize in one. Presley is by far the number one choice that most want to do. He is so popular that there are even some radio stations that dedicate their whole air time to the king of rock and roll. All they do is talk about him and give fans interest facts that they may want to know. The music that they play will also only be music that the king made.

The unique skills of each impersonator differ from one another. For example, some specialize in performing as the 1950s king, while others create their act off of the 1970s king. The mimicking of Presley's voice while singing the songs are very terrific and believable by some of these guys.

It may sound weird, but some of the impersonators do not even have the ability to sing. They do not let this stop them though. Instead, they will focus their act more on the looks that they can do. They will get some good Presley costumes, glasses and wigs and look just like 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.

From all the singers of all generations, there has been no other artist that is as loved as Presley. Fans from all generations love the king. If and when you need an Elvis impersonator, you will have no shortage in finding one. Choosing one out of all the good acts will be one of the most difficult choices you will ever have to make.
