How does an entertainer translate the captivation and engagement of a live show format into the virtual realm? The learning curve was no small hurdle and the solutions were not so easily pulled out of a hat.

In this video, they cover how to make any virtual event more engaging, with specifics about:

  • The creative components of a virtual show 

  • The tricks that translate into the virtual realm

  • How to take advantage of technology to improve entertainment

  • Tips to engage virtual audiences
