I came across this vid clip on You Tube when I was browsing for Line Dances, I must say I found his Line Dance vid very easy to follow--what I didnt realise is he is a pro DJ in America allegedly covering 300 live gigs a year and this is his promo video.
What do you think--impressive I thought if you ignore the large amount of guests Line Dancing in the vids--although I guess in America thats very popular.
Certainly raising the bar, not sure about the value of 100,000 tracks though:D

Take out the American bias and strip it down to the basics--
Do you not think all the main requirements are there for someone looking to hire a Pro DJ for a special event ?

I don't think it was awful at all, I think it was very well done indeed. Granted the voice was a bit squeaky, but Americans would probably criticise our accents as well! But what we was saying wasn't far out.

His voice grated on me a bit, but it was a slick presentation.
If he was doing so well, I'm not sure why he would need to perform at 300 gigs a year?

As Darren said, Very smooth presentation but his voice became an annoyance after a while but good luck to the lad if he is doing well.

Too slick & in a word cheezy. The American equivalent of Peter Kay DJ?

Cheezy??? Oh yeah--American :bang:
All im saying is--take out the American bias---forget the accent--forget the image--he puts forward a lot of very good reasons to hire the guy--at special events--thats my only point.

Being American has nothing to do with being cheezy.
I took out the american bias. Too cheezy & trying too hard. I would not book this DJ.

Tony, your boredom threshold is less than 1minute 12seconds--
Thats when the banner comes up!!!!!!!!!!
As regards his voice--its smooth, slick, cheesy and professional ( for American punters) bit like some of those hypnotists you hear--they convince you--- without you knowing:D
If you had gone beyond your boredom threshold you would have heard the summing up--a very clever piece of Marketing.
I am going to make some notes of the major bullet points and see if I can use some of the material--I wont be making a vid though--:eek:

This is an excellent promo video. Cheesy - yes. Exaggerated claims - most likely. However, he seems to convey the exact image, and extra information, to sell his services to the customers who are looking for more than your average DJ Joe Bloggs at $200.
If I ever start up the mobile disco business full time again, I will definitely be taking some tips from this video.

Even so I thought it was well put together and professional. With an english accent something like that could work well here.

I think the promo is very well put together.
The only thing that spoils it for me is that there are a number of occasions on the voiceover where he pops the mic.
That seems a bit strange on a promo which talks about about having a professional DJ on the mic!
