The right words at the right time make a difference
A Good MC does three things at every event
Read the room
Yes, there’ll be a script and a running sheet, but sometimes the room has a mind of its own.
Being able to change gears as the mood dictates is essential to keeping your event running smoothly.
Reassure the room
The first time an MC speaks should reassure everyone that they’re in good hands.
No one in your party came along to hear a stranger rabbit on for their own amusement.
Engage the room
Know who’s there. Know who’s going to be making a speech or a toast. And know who needs the most care and attention.
The MC is the glue that holds it all together.
The right amount of ceremony without the pomp and circumstance
One of the first things you learn about as an advertising copywriter is tone of voice. It’s about what you say as much as it is about how you say it.
An MC must land on the right tone of voice for an occasion instantly.
Bringing comfort and assurance, whether the occasion is sombre or something to be celebrated.
life’s big moments Can leave you Speechless
It’s ok to ask for help
Speech writing is an art.
Done well, it can turn some fun facts into a gripping story, or shine a light on a lifetime most never got to see.
Having to come up with a speech at short notice can be an unwanted stress at a difficult time.
If you need someone to write with you, for you, or make sure everyone’s speech is appropriate for the occasion, all you need to do is ask.
