Entertainer

An Entertainer is responsible for engaging audiences through various forms of performance, such as music, dance, or acting. Their duties typically include preparing and rehearsing performances, delivering high-energy shows at events, and interacting with audiences to create a lively atmosphere.

Entertainers also promote their work via social media and networking, while collaborating with other artists and production teams to develop creative concepts and ensure successful event execution.
