On October 22, 2009, and through the week, Dawnn Behrens is performing in the cities of Kumamoto and Yatsushiro, Japan. 

Behrens took the time to accept an interview for this article by way of Skype after one of her performances.

Award winning actress, Dawnn Behrens, has added singer, model and writer to her resume. She is known to portray not only herself, but the likes of both Anna Nicole Smith and Marilyn Monroe. 

Behrens does not only perform in the United States, but she also entertains internationally.

Dawnn Behrens' talents do not just lie in her ability to look like these divas either.  Behrens also sounds, speaks and sings like them as well.

This artist has a gifted voice with a background in acting. She won Best Actress Award at The Reel Awards in Las Vegas, Nevada.  Two conventions she attends are the Celebrity Impersonator Convention, also in Vegas, and The Sunburst Convention of Professional Celebrity Tribute Artists in Orlando, Florida.

Behrens said that she enjoys working overseas, but that her work in the states is satisfying and fun too. She has worked in Orlando, Florida, Las Vegas, Nevada, Puerto Rico. She has also entertained at major casinos and on cruise lines.

So far Japan and Germany have welcomed Behrens on her international tours with uncanny impressions and phenomenal live shows as a "Tribute to Marilyn." In 2007 Behrens performed in Yamagata and Saga, Japan.

When considering where a talent is based out of, in this case central Florida, the talent may have multiple agent representation.

Dawnn Behrens just happens to also be an examiner.com writer, and has covered some stories this week while in Japan between and after her performances.  Here are her stories:  Japan's answer to Martha Stewart and Paris Hilton's pig makes the news in Japan!

The agent responsible for booking Behrens for her gigs in Japan is agent Cheryl Murphy with Spectrum Talent. ~ Behrens advises:

For many reasons, including personal safety, if any performers want to travel and work overseas (that includes any talent coming to America to work as well), either way, make sure that you are represented by a professional agent."

Some of Behrens' performances have been video taped.  A follow up of her trip and experiences in Japan, including the video clips, will follow in a future article.  Other clips are included at this time. Her fans and this writer wish her well and a safe return! ~ Dawnn Behrens' site
