Program & A/V Checklist

*Please plan ahead! Do not wait until the DAY OF the event to prep these items.

*Adrienne uses both video and sound (sometimes at the same time)

  • Arrival time: 60 minutes prior to first program. Adrienne will hook-up all A/V and run a sound check at this time. Please have a sound engineer onsite to help. If there is programming scheduled prior to Adrienne's performance please let her know IN ADVANCE.
  • Headset mic is preferred, lav mic is a secondary option
  • Wireless handheld mic for vocal performances
  • Fresh batteries for all microphones
  • One mic stand
  • Screen(s) for visuals
  • Full sound for videos and vocal performances
  • Stage monitors (if available)
  • HDMI or VGA hookups as well as AUX cable capabilities (Adrienne brings the dongles and runs all tech from either an ipad or Macbook Air. Technology for slides used is Keynote)
  • A/V engineer available to troubleshoot set up and sound check
  • No Lectern necessary (but if it already on stage you may leave it there)
  • One chair on stage
  • FOR SCHOOL ASSEMBLIES (NOT FOR CONFERENCES): NINE student volunteers (4 male, 5 female OR 5 male, 4 female) for each program. For example if Adrienne is giving two presentations at one school she will need a total of 18 volunteers. ALL VOLUNTEERS NEED TO BE AT THE SOUND CHECK. Please select outgoing individuals as they will be helping with the icebreaker 
  • Keynote programs run 60 minutes unless other arrangements have been made. A buffer of 75 minutes is ideal as Adrienne is interactive and the more crowd involvement the better but can extend the run time.

Additional checklist for programs in a gymnasium: 

  • Connection for audio, which hooks to the main sound system. Audio and microphone need to work at the same time. Be sure to check your system as some systems cancel each other out.
  • Please have all students on one side if possible.

*Video recordings and republication are encouraged but must be pre-approved.

Press Release

Nationally Acclaimed Speaker to Deliver Powerful Message To Area Students/Organization

For Immediate Release – Adrienne Bulinski is scheduled to deliver an entertaining, uplifting, and motivating message to ENTER ORGANIZATION'S NAME HERE on DATE. Bulinski is an award winning speaker, accomplished author, and professional entertainer.

“My mission as a speaker is to motivate students to believe in themselves and their self-worth, to believe in their passions and their goals, and to believe in their capabilities of reaching many great achievements in their lifetime,” Bulinski commented. “As you know, our youth are struggling with many internal battles and fluctuations in their self-esteem. I’m here to bring hope and inspiration, with some entertainment mixed in.”

Bulinski’s message Perseverance with Grit is delivered as much of a performance as an educational opportunity. Her programs are designed to help audiences realize their potential and then turn that potential into a reality. Bulinski challenges audiences to think… to really think, and to think big. “Another import part of what I do is help audiences understand failure is part of success. Without failure, we cannot truly know success,” Bulinski said.

Bulinski’s stories are influenced by a vast array of experiences including time wearing the Miss Kansas crown, performing with the USO Show Troupe, New York City auditions and rejections, re-learning how to walk at the age of twenty-four and the list goes on.
