I'm glad you enjoyed this one, thank you.

That's a great approach! It's always better to clarify with the couple their preference on how they want to be introduced. You could start by saying something like, "I feel silly asking this, but I want to make sure I do it right. I'm so excited about being your MC! Would you prefer to be introduced as the happily married couple? Or what do you propose?" This question is safe and respectful, and it shows that you care about making their day personal and special.

You are welcome! All the best with your speaking engagements in the new year.

You are welcome thank you all the best

It's awesome that this video gave you some practical take aways. Thank you. 👍🎤

Hey, thanks for the compliment! I'm glad you can find it applicable to your work. 🤘🎤

Glad you got value from it Damiete!

Hey a great question. I'm sorry about my delay in responding to this one. One way that I approach it is to say "I know most of you may recognise our next speaker, or "I know some of you have a close relationship with our next speaker..."

Hey JT, thanks for your comment. I hope you put the content to good use. 🎤🔥

Many people you introduce (as an MC) are terrified of speaking in public and often can't use a microphone often forgetting your instructions!

@@JT-dn1id that statement is accurate and true. The best time to practice communication skills is when the stakes are low.

Love you too ♥️👌🎤

Glad that it helps! Acronyms are my favourite way to recall stuff on the fly when my brain isn't working 100%. :-)

Thank you for sharing your appreciation for the content! I'm glad you took the advice and it works for you.

Thank you, Dee, im glad you can put these tips to good use.

Thank you Sekiro! All the best with your MC endeavours. 🎤👍

Thank you, Felicia! All the best with your speaking endeavours. 👌🎤

Hey Jayce! Thank you for your comment. I enjoy seeing my videos give value. Remember, it's not only about the words. It's how you use them-all the best with your first gig on August 4th. Stay smiling

Hi Ariana, thank you for the feedback. I'm glad to hear theses 4 words will help you adjust your approach to MC'ing.

Hi Banan! Great work landing a first-time MC gig! Familiarise and practice your duties so much so you can feel comfortable showing up and be seen and heard by the attendees. Don't try to "present", "be funny" or "be the MC". First focus on building a human/approachable connection with your audience who would be proud parents and grandparents. Imagine what sorts of things they will be thinking, feeling or doing before the event. Be confident to ask for help and offer help to others on the day of the event. If there are other parties involved like catering, band/DJ, or photographers, ask them what you can do to make their day easier. Smile! The longer you are keeping a room's attention at the beginning of your opening, the better the chances the attendees will be on your side throughout the entire event. Know that something unexpected can always make its appearance after you lay out a plan, but that's why they got you to lead the way! All the best!

@@JeremiahHartmann Thanks! I sincerely appreciate your advices and I will work hard enough.

I am in the same shoes, wow! Am happy to find you. I will read that advise over and over again.

@@kemtrail8612 Thank you ☺ I feel satisfied knowing I am helping.

You are welcome Seun, happy to help.

Hi Neil, it seems like you could be an intelligent person who values attention to detail and spelling might be something you take much pride in. You caught me out. It is true. I can't spell. I hope you managed to look past the spelling mistakes and take the message on board to improve your verbal communication. Stay smiling. 😁🎤

Ha ha thank you for the encouragement! We could make one small step together. :-)

Cheers!

Glad to hear my friend! Thank you for leaving your message. Stay smiling, stay strong.

Which video topic do you want me to post that will help you best?

Thanks David! :-)

Thanks, Davion; tell me, what part, in particular, resonates with you the most?

Thank you, Butterfly, for your kind words! All the best with your speaking success.

Thank you. I hope it helps. Being nervous is expected every time we put ourselves out in front of a crowd. The nerves don't go away. You get braver each time you confront it.

@@JeremiahHartmann Thank you for the courage 😇

Thans Kinta! How can you see these ideas working for you?

Thank you! I am glad they're helpful. May you make good use of it! All the best. 👍😀

Thanks Lenny! The video was one of my first, I am glad you like it.

I hope it helped you develop as a confident speaker Mawuena.

Hi Anna! I am glad you can put these tips to good use! All the best.

Hi there, good question. No, not all simultaneously; however, sprinkle these into your delivery.

@@JeremiahHartmann Thank sir!

@@sarydarun4404 Happy to help

Thank you Engelyn, bless your heart.

Thank you Maya. That was my intention 😆 I am glad it hit the mark. BTW if there was another topic that you would find just as helpful, what would that be?

Yo DJ Dumpling! Thank you for the shoutout my friend! Here's us to us jamming again at our next gig together.

Thanks Tiz, I am glad you got the value you needed. If there was some other things you'd like to see about this topic let me know and I'll put it up!

Thank you, I am glad it was helpful! Most of the time we need just enough info to get us on our way. Let us know how you went!

You are so welcome! The more we communicate with new people, one on one or one to many, we enventually improve. Look for as many opportunties to speak. Even if it is to stand up and thank guests at a dinner party.

My honour having your attention and motivation to always practice. Have a wonderful day.

You're welcome!

Thank you for your comment - a short to the point video was the intention! I am glad you got value from it.
