Video Transcript

"Oh hi there. Excuse me. Love that Bing Crosby. You can't get enough of him. I'm Marvelous Marvin professionally trained DJ, talking about how to be a mobile DJ. Now there's a few ways you can have the equipment with this. You've got of course turn tables. Now these are actually CD players, but if you want to be real old school, turn tables. But trust me once you start carting around records, you'll be done with that. Then of course we have the iPods. The little thing there, you stick it in, plays music, everybody's happy. Or, all the rage, lap top computers. So you can sit there have every song in the world and your audience as mobile DJ can watch you like you're in a cubicle in your office going like this. Not very entertaining. It's a raging debate and there's no right or wrong. It's whatever is good for you. But people like to see a show. Something like this. Pick up the microphone, Hi everybody, welcome to the party. Here's a song. Then you go, people go ooh. Then you pick up a CD. For you younger kids, this is called compact disc. And then you put it in there. You hit it. You hit another button, hit another button. Of course this isn't turned on because we don't have the budget. But if it was turned on music would be playing and people would be entertained because you've actually done something visually stimulating. But it's up to you. Remember, when you're a mobile DJ you're entertaining people. So that's that. I'm Marvelous Marvin. Happy to be here, happy to be talking about how to be a mobile DJ."
