Going to Celebrity Panels is one of the main reasons to go to a comic convention. However, sometimes the questions can be cringe-worthy. We have attended our share, and we have seen both successful and horrible panels. Here is our advice on what questions to ask at a Celebrity Panel.
Ok, you don’t have control. The moderator does help determine what happens. Only once have we seen a moderator ruin a panel. (This really sucked because we paid $45 dollars each for this special event panel).
Therefore, good moderators allow the audience to ask most of the questions with them chiming in with a few follow ups. So it is up to the audience for a good panel.
First of all, put any panels you want to attend in your calendar. It makes planning out the day much more manageable. Next, do your research. Read an interview or two with the celebrity. This will give you a feel for the questions they like to answer.
When it’s time for the panel, line up at the microphone as soon as you can. In most cases, the lines will fill up quickly, so if you want to ask a question, get in the queue early.
Get someone to video you asking the question. If you are like me, you will be so nervous, that you won’t remember asking the question. This scenario happened to me with Billie Dee Williams. I have no idea of how that went down.
Most importantly, have fun.
Make the panel fun for everyone not asking a question.
We are counting on you.
