OMNIBUS: 10 PC&SMC's SECRETS (GREAT MC TIPS)

You may have missed some or all the 10 Professional Corporate & Social Master of Ceremonies (PC&SMC)'s Secrets (otherwise known as Great MC Tips) as serialised over the past few weeks. I generously bring you the omnibus of the 10 tips.

1⃣I take to heart💚 Dale Carnegie's 👨sage advice, "... a person’s name is to that person the sweetest and most important sound🎶 in any language." In view of this, I have devised strategies that help me to remember the names of my guests👩👴 and pronounce them appropriately much to their surprise...😆

2⃣ Getting to the venue🏫 not less than an hour before the event starts is not optional. This helps me to familiarise myself with the venue and get to know the other staff of the event.

3⃣ I pledge to entertain my guests or better still  let them enjoy the event. However, I do not strive to be funny😷 since I'm not a comedian🎭. I only mirror my guests' feelings😆😅.

4⃣ I give the audience further reasons to be appreciative👏✌️ of the message📜 delivered by a speaker. This I do by listening attentively👂 and jotting down salient points✏️📋 which I emphasise after the speech. This strategy does not only remind the audience of what was said but also gives the speaker reason to believe that someone listened to her or him.

5⃣I forge instant cordial relationship👫 with all the persons who have roles to play at the event. Most importantly, I get to know the DJ by name and as I mention🎤 it and praise him as well, he feels flattered to give off his best.

6⃣ Since most of the events I emcee use music🎼🎶, I do not only listen 🔊 and make a selection earlier but also keep these selection on my pendrive in case the DJ👲 does not have them.

7⃣ To stay relevant, I employ this time-tested three-in-one📚 approach: Continuous Researching📰, Continuous Reading📖 and Continuous Rehearsing...

8⃣ I avoid using the speakers' biography as their introduction during that important event.
How creatively effective it is when I fashion out the introduction answering these four questions taught by Ron Tacchi & Winston Marsh:

1. Why this speaker?👴
2. Why this subject?📜
3. Why this audience?👪👬
4. Why now?🕧

9⃣No two individuals are the same. So every MC must be unique. One of my uniqueness is how in most cases I employ my unique writing ability✏️📋.

🔟In my line of duty, I know who I am🚶. I am not just an announcer nor just a compere (talking head)🎤. I am the Master of Ceremonies, so I take charge of the whole event!! (Exhibiting my little 'Do you know who I am' attitude😜😄👮)

Thank you for reading. I hope it will be helpful if you get this rare opportunity of being the MC for a friend's event.
