Carla as "Barbra Streisand"
 Exciting
newcomer to the Celebrity Impersonator scene, this artist
has the look and sound of “the Greatest Star”, the
incomparable Barbra Streisand. From the hair, down to the
trademark nails, Carla is "Simply Streisand" in every
way. Singing live, to recorded background musical tracks,
Carla recreates the excitement and high energy vocals of
Streisand’s most powerful numbers and at the same time has
the capability of singing with a beauty and purity of sound
essential for the ballads that are so closely associated
with this greatest of all singing actresses.
Carla brings to this project more than 25 years of
professional experience as a singer and stage performer, as
well as a passion for and appreciation of the exquisite
artistry of Ms. Streisand. Having spent most of her career
as a classically trained opera singer, Carla has always been
inspired by and drawn to the voice and persona of Ms.
Streisand and she has successfully captured the essence and
thrilling artistry of the one and only "Funny Girl" herself.
This project began as many have in the “impersonator”
business. Over the years, friends, family and strangers
often remarked about her resemblance to Streisand in looks
and mannerisms, as well as her voice. Over and over she
heard “has anyone ever told you that you look like….?” so
she began to think about it in a more serious way. Her
Streisand impersonation had its premiere performance at the
Sunburst Convention for Look-Alikes and Celebrity
Impersonators in Orlando, Fl. in 2006. To say that the
response has been overwhelming would be an understatement.
During the convention, her act was one of a small handful to
be chosen by a British film crew for inclusion in their
documentary about Celebrity Impersonators, and she was also
filmed by the Tonight Show. Since that time she has
performed all over the state of Florida at everything from
private parties to corporate events. She even showed up at a
corporate fundraiser as Roz Focker, Ms Streisand’s
alter ego from the movie, “Meet the Fockers”.

A Talented Performer...
Carla’s uncanny resemblance to “Vintage” 1964 Barbra, as
well as her skill in portraying Ms Streisand as we know her
now, has given her the ability to begin creating a show
tentatively entitled “A Tribute to the Artistry of Barbra
Streisand…Then and Now”. This show will encompass the
classic songs so closely identified with the early “Funny
Girl” as well as the songs she has made her own in more
recent years. “Then and Now” is unique in the
industry as no one else performs as the young Barbra
Streisand.
Whether she is dressed as the young “Funny Girl” or as
Streisand during her Timeless Tour of 2000, Carla can
provide you with a classy, elegant, professional and very
entertaining performance of almost any length for almost any
type of event. She is available for private parties,
corporate events, holiday gatherings, theatrical venues,
night clubs, and “meet and greets”, as well as inclusion in
a larger Vegas-styled tribute show.
Audiences enjoy participating in the entertainment as she
invites a guest to be her “Neil Diamond” in the duet, “You
Don’t Bring Me Flowers” and others perform as her backup
singers and dancers for “The Main Event”. Your clients are
sure to enjoy themselves. From the comedic songs to the
serious love ballads, Carla has it all...she's "like buttah".
