It can literally be a deal-breaker as far as your career is concerned. Blowing a name - mispronouncing it or, worse, announcing the wrong one - can be catastrophic. I’ve had sound systems quit on me meticulously crafted scripts disappear from the podium a glass of orange juice plop into my lap moments before the opening greeting and a carefully organized tray of slides fall to the floor and scatter.Īnd, this is vital: when announcing names, get them right. It’s not about you.Īnticipate anything that could possibly go wrong because over time it will. Nothing is worse than an adlib that tanks.Īnd don’t impose yourself on the program. Never “wing it!” Adlibs are better scripted.

Most importantly, an emcee needs to work from a script and yet project a feeling of spontaneity. When the program lags, it’s up to the emcee to inject energy. He or she must by degrees be witty, sincere, serious, sarcastic, friendly, emotional, dispassionate, flippant, organized and, most of all, in charge. I discovered how important it is for an emcee to be visible but never intrusive. I spent 37 years as Orange Coast College’s community relations director and was emcee for galas, banquets, luncheons, breakfasts, awards ceremonies, inductions, retirements - you name it.īy default, I became the college’s go-to emcee. It was always an enjoyable - though stressful - assignment. I had the opportunity dozens and dozens of times during my career to play the role of master of ceremonies.
