How I Became Barbra Streisand: My Life as a Barbra Streisand Tribute Artist

By Joni Lambert

This book chronicles the journey of Barbra Streisand Tribute Artist / Impersonator Joni Lambert. Lambert shares how she got her start in the tribute artist industry performing her show an homag to Barbra Streisand, whom she is fortunate enough to share a resemblance to in singing voice and appearance. Lambert's story begins in her youth as a shy child who is a devoted fan of "The Greatest Star". Readers follow her on her quest in "becoming Barbra" and the incredible amount of work involved, from the creation of costumes that are copies of actual Streisand gowns, wigs and makeup, to creating as authentic a show as possible to transport audiences to believing that they are experiencing Streisand in concert. Lambert seeks to answer the most common questions she receives from audience members who attend her shows around the United States and internationally. While being a professional Tribute Artist/Celebrity Impersonator is a rare occupation, performing as Barbra Streisand is even more uncommon, as very few performers have the ability to mimic Streisand in both looks and sound. This book is a fascinating read for fans of Barbra Streisand and those interested in the tribute artist industry.
