The Wedding Singer

Todd: Now, Shirley you are a wedding singer (певец на свадьбе), so you actually go to people's weddings and you sing, correct?
Shirley: Yeah, that's right?
Todd: What's it like being a wedding singer?
Shirley: Well, it's an opportunity (возможность) for me to get dressed up and to get to see lots of other people dress beautifully too. And I think it's an honor (честь) to be able to be at an event where someone's having a very special day, so for the bride (невеста) and groom (жених) it's a memorable event (незабываемое событие) and we try to add to that experience. To give them something to add to their memory of that day.

Todd: You must feel a lot of pressure (давление) though because, I mean, it's such a big day for everybody and there would be a lot riding on (зависит от) it. Do you feel like nerves (нервничать)?
Shirley: Actually, what I feel nervous about usually is the speaking part (речь). Not so much the singing.
Todd: Interesting.

Shirley: Yeah, as you know I live in Japan and so when I go to weddings they're in Japanese. My Japanese skills (навык) are not that great, so I have to say a little bit, and I usually like to address the bride and groom directly at some point and say something nice to them and congratulate (поздравлять) them on their day and wish them the best for the future, and I get kind of stressed about doing that in Japanese so it's almost a relief when I get to just sing. I feel that I can express myself a little bit more freely once I'm actually singing.

Todd: So what kind of experience (опыт)? Where do you normally do these weddings?
Shirley: Well, at the moment I'm living and working in a place called Oita and in Japan it's fairly common for entertainers (работник индустрии развлечений) to sign up with (нанять на работу) a wedding company, so it's usually wedding companies that actually plan the weddings so you don't really deal directly (непосредственно иметь дело с) with venues (место проведения мероприятия) or individual people, so I've got a couple of connections with the two companies here they connect me or they make a booking. Usually, they'll be planning weddings and they'll make a booking for who they think will be appropriate and in the past I worked in another city in Fukuoka and I sang and at weddings at the Grand Hyatt Hotel there and it was great.
Todd: Pretty swank (богатый, роскошный)?

Shirley: It was very swank. And Japanese weddings are very formal and really choreographed (ставить, координировать) to a certain degree.
Todd: What do you mean they're choreographed?
Shirley: Well, you know everything is planned from the very first step (шаг, этап) to the very last step so there's someone there to take the bride and groom to everything that they need to do, and every thing that's happening when for example the bride might leave to change her clothing, her outfit, and they have planned events happening during then and that's a pretty common time for the music or for the singer to perform.
Todd: Wow, sounds like they have it down.
Shirley: They have it down pat (тщательно выучить).
