Is it OK if I am a little shy during the meet and greet?

Of course. Everyone's bound to be shy or starstruck when meeting a celebrity. Just don't get too nervous and forget to say something!

Question

What if it's a YouTuber meet and greet?

Community Answer

When it comes to YouTube meet and greets, you usually get to talk to people and have a conversation with them (this depends on the YouTuber you're meeting). Most of them are easy to talk to since they don't see themselves as famous and might see you as their friends.

Question

How do I start the talking?

Community Answer

Just start off with a generic "Hey how are you?!" like you would with a regular person. Then, tell them (calmly and genuinely) how much they mean to you and how much you love their music, movie, etc. There's no right or wrong way. Whatever you want them to know, tell them!

Question

Would a hug be appropriate?

Community Answer

Personally, I think it depends on the celebrity. If you're not sure how a certain person would react to a hug, watch them with other fans first to see if they give anyone else a hug.

Question

When I have to bring my own camera, who is going to take the picture?

Community Answer

If there isn't a professional photographer that will take it for you, you could go with a selfie, you could have a friend or family member take it, you could ask someone in line nearby if they could take it for you, or you could always ask one of the security guards!

Question

I will see a Mexican singer perform in the United States. I'm a huge fan but I'm not comfortable speaking Spanish. I don't know if he speaks English. How should I approach him at the meet and greet?

Community Answer

Try searching the internet to find out if he speaks English. If not, plan what you want to say and learn the phrase in Spanish.

Question

The description of a band's VIP package says I get a signed poster and I also get a meet and greet/signing. Should I bring an article to be signed, or is the poster the item to be signed?

Community Answer

You should contact somebody in charge of the event. They could be giving out the pre-signed posters to allot for time.

Question

Can I have a full on conversation or will it just be a few words?

Community Answer

It depends on the person you're meeting and what time it is. For example, at Twaimz meet and greets you get to talk with him, but at others you hug, take a picture, say hi, and leave.

Question

When there is a professional photographer to take pictures, do they take multiple pictures or just one picture?

Usually, it will be one, as it's pretty chaotic to keep re-shooting for perfect angles.

Question

How do I ask for a way to keep in contact when doing a meet and greet?

Community Answer

Because of the status of most people you will be meeting, there really is no way to keep in contact with them after the meet and greet. Most celebrities refrain from personally contacting fans as a precaution for themselves and the fan. The best way to have contact with them after the fact is if they begin to remember you after meeting you several times, or reaching out to them through a tweet or through Instagram. But don't expect them to answer your DMs.

Question

Do I shake hands when meeting musicians?

Community Answer

A handshake is an appropriate greeting when meeting a musician or singer. However, if they don't offer a hand, don't try to shake theirs as they've indicated they'd prefer that you only spoke to them and didn't touch them.
