A live event announcer/emcee is more than just a good-sounding voice. They can transform your event from average to remarkable – but only if they possess the right skill set.
I have 20 years of event management and directing experience which enables me to create the desired atmosphere at an event, but also to ensure crowd safety, adhere to timelines, stall when needed, and even diffuse tense situations that might arise.
Here are the top 10 reasons why you can trust your event to me:
1. Clear and confident voice: An amazing announcer must be well heard by everyone in the audience. They enunciate words clearly and speak with the appropriate volume, pitch, and tone.
2. Knowledge of the event: A terrific announcer thoroughly understands the event’s purpose, schedule, operations, and any other relevant details. They provide accurate and timely information to the audience.
3. Energy and enthusiasm: A remarkable announcer engages the audience to create a positive atmosphere at the event and to generate excitement – or other appropriate mood when required.
4. Professionalism: The focus of the event is not on the announcer. Photos and media posts are meant to feature the participants and organizers, not the emcee. An excellent announcer knows this, but still dresses appropriately and behaves in a courteous and respectful manner.
5. Flexibility: A standout announcer adapts to changes in the event schedule or program. They improvise when necessary and keeps the audience informed of any updates.
6. Interpersonal skills: A great announcer interacts with the audience and event organizers in a friendly and approachable manner. They connect with the audience and create a sense of community.
7. Time management skills: An exceptional announcer manages their time effectively and keeps the event on schedule. They announce each segment of the event at the proper time, without rushing or dragging out the proceedings.
8. Creativity: A superior announcer injects creativity into their announcements, making them interesting, memorable, and engaging.
9. Problem-solving skills: An extraordinary announcer handles unexpected situations or challenges that may arise during the event. They remain calm and find solutions to problems quickly and efficiently.
10. Teamwork skills: From start to finish, a phenomenal announcer will make the event will feel like a collaboration between them and event organizers. They will bring your vision to life.
