Singing comedy Impressionist Scott Record has a career and background as versatile as his talents. As a child growing up in New England, Record's early interests and training were in the fields of music, tap dancing, magic, acting and sports. In between his schoolwork and hours spent working at his family's diner, Record acted with several regional companies, as well as with the Boston Children's Theatre. As a musician, Record had treasured involvement with the Boston Pops Orchestra, playing in the percussion section during the final year of legendary conductor Arthur Fiedler's region. Record has also played with numerous jazz, rock and show bands throughout the New England area.

Record moved to New York in 1978, where he found work as a bouncer/bartender in a disco directly across the street from Dangerfield's, the famous nightclub named after the well-known comedian. After watching the celebrity names revolve weekly on the marquis of that establishment, Record decided to test his talents on a Monday night at Dangerfield's. Rodney immediately liked Record and took him on the road, where he successfully worked for a year as Rodney Dangerfield's opening act.

Golf is a passion for Record as well as a wonderful self-promotion tool. He currently headlines and competes in many of the major Pro-Am events sponsored by the PGA, LPGA, USGA, and the Senior Tour, and participates in many fund-raising charity tournaments, including the Bob Hope Desert Classic, the Nabisco-Dinah Shore, and the AT&T Pebble Beach. Another facet of Record's talent lies in commercial voice-over recording. His uncanny ability to do thousands of unique character voices keeps him busy as a character actor representing a wide variety of nationally recognized products. Record regularly performs in Las Vegas, Lake Tahoe and Atlantic City, where he was voted the Best Variety Act of the Year by Atlantic City Magazine.
