It’s true isn’t it? As the emcee, usually we aren’t involved with the planning and preparation that goes into an event, yet we represent the brand, the organization and the people that worked hard, sometimes for a year or more, planning this event. We are excited the day is here, that they are in the room. We have asked people to give up their most important resource, their time, to be present at our celebration, our conference, our banquet, our fundraiser. For that, we should be excited and grateful they are in the room. It sounds intuitive, because it is. Welcome. It’s such a simple phrase but could be lost amongst all the other things you could say. When you visit a friend's house, imagine knocking on their door and a smiling face greeting you saying, “welcome.” That’s what every emcee is trying to do, whether they are doing it or not, is welcoming the guests into a story and an atmosphere designed for them to hear something and experience something. When an emcee gets on stage, the lights in the audience dim, the crowd hushes, the music lowers… and the first words spoken from stage are _?Įvery emcee might do it a little differently, but the introduction will be about the same. The important thing is to be clear, warm, welcoming and be yourself.
