4 Tips on Being a Great Emcee |
|
| |
You have
just been asked to be an emcee for your friend's wedding, in
front of 350 guests! And you can't back out - it's your best
friend's wedding. And the only piece of advice you seem
receive is "be yourself, or, relax." What? RELAX!? With 350
pairs of eyes staring at you?
Well, don't worry. It's not as bad as you may think. Here are
some pointers that may make you a great wedding emcee.
Know the Itinerary
It's important you know the itinerary during the wedding
reception, so that you know your cue to announce the arrival
of the bride and groom; to toast; to play games; etc. Speak to
the bride and groom or whoever is in charged of the itinerary
to brief you on what is happening.
Be Confident and Enthusiastic
Be confident and enthusiastic; and that doesn't mean you have
to be a clown. Smile, smile and smile. Being an emcee is about
the 'transfer of feelings and emotions.' Your audience can
feel what you are feeling. If you are enthusiastic, your
audience will respond.
Know Your Target
How can you be enthusiastic? Well, know your audience. Here,
you have two targets - the invited guests and the families
involved. Generally, if you are invited as the emcee, chances
are you would already know the host families. Find out who
else is in the guest list. When the topics you talk about is
relevant, your audience becomes more enthusiastic. It will
also help you become more entertaining.
Be in tune
Make sure you know the kinds of things and subjects you can
mention or jokes you can tell. If you are among a tight knit
of friends at a small wedding reception and you are part of
the group, then you know what jokes they can take. But if most
of the guests are friends of the groom-to-be's in-laws, it
would really serve you well if you have a little 'briefing'
session with them on the do's and don'ts. Stay in tune when
you are on stage, what the audiences react well to and what
that did not get the desired response. It helps if you have
someone giving you feedback from among the audience. |
