Tips

 To be good Master of Ceremonies

1.     Know the event. The Mater of Ceremony must know the event which he will control.  These instructions apply to all types of ceremonies, from graduations to celebrity roasts. The key to being a good Master of Ceremony is confidence and enjoy but still serious. 

2.      Establish contact well in advance of the event day. Your contact will tell you the schedule and order of events, allowing you to be prepared. Your preparation will let you focus on interacting with the crowd, instead of trying to be entertaining, and figure out what's going on at the same time

3.      Smile constantly. Smiling shows the crowd that you're at ease and having a good time. You want them to be at ease and have a good time, so you've got to set the example. I

4.      Don't forget your main job is to talk to the crowd. You're keeping them informed about the ceremony, and giving the talent or featured individual time to prepare to go onstage.

5.      Study your lines. Usually people have lines before they do the actual thing. So study them so your mind won't go blank during the show.

6.      Don't stop when you mess up. Sometimes people say the wrong things when they're talking because they're nervous. Don't stress and move on.

7.      Try to be funny. Try to laugh sometimes and crack a joke once in a while.

8.      Stare at something or think of something that makes you confident. Stare at the wall or a clock and talk to them to make you less nervous.

9.      Slow down with your words. If you talk too fast it can lead to stuttering and people watching you can't understand what you say. So slow down when you are talking, not fast.

10.  Ask questions that people might answer.
