Me…in a Nutshell

Absence makes the heart go flounder

Yes, I’m told I am a powerhouse singer – but sometimes
when I open my mouth, funny comes out

Here’s what you need to know about me: I am, by nature, a night owl. I mess up expressions – a lot. I’ll sometimes fuse two different ones together or even use the wrong words (as in the headline of this page). Those are called malaprops, I’m told…but I blurt them out so often, my family calls them “Valaprops.” I’m sure a few will crop up later on this page, but we’ll burn that bridge before we cross it. … Now … where was I?

What I love to do is to make it about YOU when I sing for you and your audience

It’s not a gift I sought. In fact, I didn’t even know I had it until I was in high school. Singing was a gift given to me. It was clearly intervine divention. Oops…that should’ve been divine intervention. (See what I mean?) But once I discovered I had it, I was determined to do everything I could to learn how to use it to the best of my ability.

I deliver top-notch, Broadway-caliber entertainment without your having to break into your piggy bank.  For the quality of performance and production values I offer, you’ll find my pricing surprisingly reasonable. 

When I get in front of an audience, it’s not about “me” and my performance. It’s all about THEM. It’s about connecting with those folks in the seats…being accessible and friendly so they feel like they know me…engaging their emotions…allowing them to become participants instead of just spectators. They don’t want to simply be enthralled by a great voice. They want to be entertained! They want to sing along and clap their hands and tap their feet and, yes, even dance if they feel so moved.

And that’s what the Valerie Sneade experience is all about! So, whether you’re an existing or future patron looking for a fun-filled, high-energy way to spend an evening…or you’re an activity director or theater manager looking to book an exciting performer your audiences will love (and want to see again and again) …you’ve come to the right place.

Visit my Showcase pages to find out what shows I have already established and ready to go. Then contact me today so we can talk about your needs…and also so I can get you on my schedule to “lock in” your preferred performance dates – before my calendar fills up. Don’t delay! You need to strike the iron while the camel is hot.

Wait…I got that wrong, didn’t I?
