"I
have fun at what I
do.The day I don't is
the day I will get a
real job."
Robert McIsaac
designer, stage manager, director and theatre
manager, 6 years ago, Robert decided to make a
company that would help people get high quality
entertainment at a reasonable price.
Robert McIsaac on being a Disk Jockey
"I take this business very serious. A Disk Jockey
at a wedding or a party has great responsibility
to both the Bride & Groom/Organizer and to the
guests that are part of the celebration."
1- Setup early
I try to setup as early as possible to make sure
the sound is right for the room. I do not like
blasting the room with music but filling it. I try to
keep the music on the dance floor, so that people
can still talk and watch the dancing going on.
2 -Look respectable and be polite
Dress the part you play. Each Reception/Dance
is different, look clean and tidy and dress
accordingly.
3- Read the crowd and play to them
Play what they want and like. I go through what
I call "hills and gullies" Groupings in three's
i.e. 3 rock songs, 3 slow songs, 3 dance songs and so
on. This lets me feel the room and shows me the
direction I should go. I try to capture the music
that all of the ages during the Reception/Dance
like. Take requests!
4 -Have Fun
If the DJ is having fun it rubs off on the guest.
Robert McIsaac on Interactive performances:
"Interaction is the key! Knock down that 4th wall.
If one of your friends ends up on the stage doing the
can-can in a bear costume does this not make
an event that people will remember."
The strong core of actors/singers that have
become part of The Muskoka Touring Company
is overwhelming. With this cast we are able to
entertain any crowd, large or small, young or old.
