EMCEE or MC = MASTER OF CEREMONY
try to google tips from TOASTMASTERS INTERNATIONAL
Topic: Master of Ceremony
my personal Tips:
Know the program by heart, internalize what you would want to convey to the crowd.
Know your guests
know your audience
check the place, the sound system.
make arrangement with the sound system operators if you need to play specific music.
Check the elevation of the podium or the rostrum you don't want to appear
like a head placed on a platter when viewed from the audience.
know where each div or dept are seated so you can connect to them well.
Be on time and don't allow too much LULL in your program.
dont apologize when you make an error. joke about it instead. "patay mali" kunohay.
relax don't get excited a lot. your crowd will not EAT you alive.
Get out from your confort zone, don't stay in one place walk around but don't paint the whole stage too.
your boss asked you so he is confident you can do the job... so be confident too.
Good Luck.
