“Tracey Bell wowed the 1000 women virtual audience with her humor, energy and quick costume changes. Our audience members had the best time laughing with Tracey who made sure this was a virtual event to remember! Thank you for an amazing show!!”

I met Amanda in January of 2020, at the special events conference GO WEST in Edmonton. She had seen my showcase performance the day before and was interested in having me perform live as a dozen divas for an in-person fundraiser benefiting female students in STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) in Alberta. At the time we didn’t know that all live events would soon be cancelled indefinitely.

I was surprised to hear from her fifteen months later and grateful that I had produced a virtual show that I could customize for her group. I transformed before their eyes to become nine celebrities including Dolly Parton, Celine Dion, Cher, and Michael Jackson. Guests said I was, “HILARIOUS!!!” as I performed DIY demonstrations, gave advice, and shared shenanigans while interacting and responding to comments.

The One Thousand Women organization had already raised 3.5 million dollars since 2010 and built a childcare facility at Norquest. They raised an additional $151,000 at this year’s One Thousand Women: A Million Possibilities Luncheon!

Here’s a one-minute video of me as Dolly, Celine, Cher and myself that I produced for 1000 Women to promote the event on social media.

The winners include the minister of a church in Colorado requesting a special message for the congregation, a belated birthday greeting for a 65-year-old man in Vancouver whose party was cancelled in March, and cheer up messages for one winner’s mom and another’s dear friend who is having a hard time in isolation.

Congratulations! I’m looking forward to creating the videos.

I’m giving away the choice of a free virtual performance or custom video to the first three people who respond to this post or through my newsletter by e-mailing traceybell@telus.net with a special request.

I’ve been livening up Zoom meetings, virtual awards ceremonies and parties as well as customizing short videos that you can send; to thank your clients, to inspire your employees or to cheer up your loved ones.  I’ve made close to 100 videos since March, one had over 25,000 views on social media.

Last year I transformed into eleven celebrities for the International Live Events Association of Vancouver Awards. Here’s what my performance looked like for this year’s virtual awards ceremony:

Do you play along when your child is pretending to be a super hero or a rock star? I want people to feel that comfortable to let go and have fun. Imagine yourself at a Celine Dion concert where Celine walks into the audience and sings directly to you. Would you feel special? What if Marilyn Monroe sang her breathy version of Happy Birthday to your company president? Would you take a picture? Do you smile and laugh? If the people you work with played guitars like rock stars at your company party, would you cheer them on? My stage shows get those reactions.

People like to shine, even shy people.

On New Year’s Eve, when New York New York is playing and everyone in the room is doing a kick line, do you join in, or smile while you watch them? Would you clap along with people if Dolly Parton encouraged you to? If your friends were strutting their stuff onstage with Madonna, would you want to video them? These are the experiences that I create with people. Whether you want to kick up your shoes, cheer from the sidelines, or smile as you watch others, there is a place for everyone at my shows.

After decades of experience, I know how to choose the first participants

It only takes a few outgoing people to get audience participation started, to set the example. If they can do it, others can too. Nobody has to be perfect. It’s especially rewarding when I get shy people involved in the show. I get the same reaction as a hypnotist, where participants are entranced and want to let their inner rock star shine.  After decades of experience as an interactive impressionist, I know how to choose the first participants, then encourage and inspire them. I’m encouraging them. Joy, fun and laughter are contagious.

My stage shows are rewarding to me because I’m engaging people and giving them an experience they’ll talk about for years, whether they’re a spectator or participant. When we’re engaged, we’re fully present in the moment. Playing is good for us. Connecting is good for us. My purpose is to create a show where we do those things.  I put my whole heart into it. There’s a lot of me in the show: Tracey Bell disguised as Lady Gaga, Tina Turner, Judy Garland, Janis Joplin, Tina Turner, Julie Andrews, Shania Twain, Alanis Morrissette, and the rest.
