A Master of Ceremonies:
A beginner's guide to being a Brilliant MC.
|
I wanted to let you know how the MC'ing at my brother's wedding went on Saturday. It was fabulous! Thanks so much for all the information you provided in your master of ceremonies book. I used it a great deal along with the jokes you provided as well. I plan on keeping the info handy should the opportunity to speak arise again. Thanks again. Rob Sitarz, Canada, July 30th 2007.
Thank you, so much, Rachel. Your book on "Being a brilliant Master of Ceremonies" was so helpful. My husband is the great MC'er in our family. He is funny and fun and very witty and can think on the spot. I am more of a serious person and although I love and appreciate humour, I can't pull it off as easily because of my personality. Your book truly helped me be more "brilliant" and less boring. Thanks for helping me through an anxious time and giving me the confidence to know I can do it too! Everything went well and the organizers and the guest of
honour were pleased. Thank you so much! Congratulations on a book well-written and easy to understand. With gratitude.
Thank-you so much for your e-book on how to be a Master of Ceremony. The 50th birthday went off with a bang. There were no awkward moments, in fact at the end of the evening I was told that I was very entertaining. Thanks for all your tips and advice. It gave me the right tools and was much appreciated.
I want to tell you how impressed I am with the quality and contents of your Master of Ceremonies e-book. As well, the whole process of ordering, receiving and you following up was so customer focussed and professional. Thank you again. |
New THIRD EDITION now released
Masters of Ceremonies are very important people. They can make or break an event or function. They can bore the pants off the audience so that the whole event becomes staid and dull, or they can bring the event alive and inject humour and energy and have the audience enthralled. Sadly, at conferences, seminars and concerts there are far more poor MCs than good ones. But it's not just at these events where MCs don't do well, it is also at weddings, school graduation ceremonies, religious ceremonies, fiftieth birthday parties, ... you name the event and there will have been a Master of Ceremonies who struggled to hold the attention of the audience and did not know how to be brilliant.
My own wedding was testimony to this. Our MC stood up, said one
sentence and sat down again! What we hadn't bargained on was stage fright. Then there
was the time that I was at a very formal corporate event speaking on powerful
presentations. The Master of Ceremonies had taken a copy of my brochure, and rather
than concentrating on my experience as a presenter, my business experience or my
qualifications, he just talked about how impressed he was that I had been happily married
for such a long time. It was totally irrelevant to the occasion. I ended up looking very
embarrassed and the audience looked bored. And, so many times I have sat through MCs
who have been simply boring, boring, boring. And then there are the ones who let
performers or speakers drag on way past their time. It's dreadful, isn't it? Make sure you
are not like that - be brilliant. By applying just a few important principles
If you are to be a Master of Ceremony and it is fairly new to you - A Master of
Ceremonies is an essential read. It could save you a lot of embarrassment and bring you
success and applause. Imagine that! A Master of Ceremonies has six different sections covering all the ins and outs of MCing, from how to relate well to your audience or guests, how to introduce and thank speakers or performers, to how to manage the timing correctly and how to prepare properly. There are sample introductions and thank-yous, plus checklists to help you prepare 2 weeks beforehand, 7 days beforehand and the night before; plus tips on using a microphone, exercises to help you read a script confidently, examples of what not to do, and more ... in this packed, easy-to-read and practical guide. Don't be a Master of Ceremonies without it.
The first 5 sections can be applied to any MC situation from seminars and farewells to concerts and awards nights. They are:
Then there is an additional section applied to being a master of ceremonies at a wedding which includes:
Your event deserves a brilliant Master of Ceremonies, and you deserve to be brilliant.

MORE BRILLIANT
Here are just a few of the unsolicited e-mails I have received telling me what readers think of A Master of Ceremonies. I am sure many people make up testimonials on their websites - I want you to know that these are real. They came right out of the blue, I have never met them and I still don't even know what country some of them live in! Michael, who is in Australia, I do know, as he has other products of mine, but he sent me this spontaneously and I have included it as it shows how useful the book can be in a number of applications.
Thank YOU for such a great and easy to understand e-book on being a master of ceremony. Your book is very informative and very comforting. It has given me the confidence I need to carry out what I have been selected to do as the MC. My MC date is April 28th and your book has everything I needed to know, that I did not know. I am a very satisfied customer. Calvin Hawkins, April 2006.
This is a second letter I got from Calvin after he had MC'd. It is exactly as it was sent to me.
It was awesome!!!
Your e-book prepared & equipped me with eveything I needed to make this a successful
event. (checking the mic, being able to address changes in the agenda, relating to the
audience, building up the speakers, etc.)
As fate would have it, the mic was inadequate and some of the people scheduled to speak
were unable to make it, and your e-book warned me to be ready to act. (and I did)
Instead of panic, we had the microphones replaced, and I began to recruit replacements. I
personally filled in for one of the absentees (I had more material than I needed in case this
happened).
I am so glad I invested in your book. I do not want to think about what could have
happened if I did not have the knowledge aquired from your e-book.
We had an awesome time. Your e-book reminded me to remember not to overdo it as the
MC (it's hard to move out the way when you have the audience flowing with you), and that
the main speaker should be the one they anticipate and remember. The evening was filled
with energy and enthusiasm, and even with the change in the agenda, the night flowed
without a flaw.
My wife and I are still smiling of how much fun we had. The fact that I was able to retrieve
and print your e-book immediately (to carry with me) allowed me to prepare in time to
make this a positive memorable event.
Again, Thank you. The wedding was a great success thanks to your book "A Master of Ceremonies". The book really helped me out of a jam. Everyone thought that I was a professional spokesperson, and said that it was very well done. Thanks Rachel. Martin Goudreault, Canada, 9th July 2007.
Thank you for making available, to people like me, your Master of ceremonies e-book - already it has been of great assist. My confidence level has now soared, knowing I've got sound guidance and advice. My duties as an MC came about because of our family's family reunion and because some relatives knew I was a talker, so presumed I'd be a good one. So, to keep from looking stupid, I had to find out what emceeing was all about --- and I found you --- THANX Michael Hagger, USA. 4th July 2007. This is what Abdul first wrote: I was asked just yesterday to be an MC for a community event, which will be held tomorrow. We're expecting about 200 people. I'm freaking out as you could imagine. This is what he then sent: I thought you'd like to know how things went. I picked up a lot of useful tips and we had not less than 100 people attend and based on feedback people loved it. Purchasing your book was a great investment; I can comfortably say that you saved the day. So thank you. I look forward to reading your other books. Abdul Fattah, Sydney, Australia, 24th July 2007. Your "A Master of Ceremonies" e-Book is very, very impressive. So clearly presented, and so packed with practical content. Brilliant value for $25! In case you're wondering, I have three reasons for buying it: I want to be a better trainer: I'm doing more and more training and presenting in my IT job, and I figured that a lot of what MCs need to know would be relevant for trainers too. Now that I've done my first read of your e-Book, I'm even more convinced of it. I think that virtually all the practical things you've set out for MCs in your E-Book map directly and naturally onto the trainer role too. So I've got my $25 of value already, and this is only one of the reasons I bought it. Michael Done, IT Database Manager, Australia. January 2007.
( Note - You don't even need to
pay $25, for a limited time only, it's just $22 ) And, here is another one stressing how useful the book was even though Tony only had 30 minutes to find the information he needed before a meeting with his bride and groom: I was preparing for a meeting with the wedding party last night and thought I should get some sort of a checklist to follow. I really appreciated the quick and easy way in which the e-book was delivered. I only had 30 minutes in which to locate and print the information that I needed. The Index proved to be very helpful and already your book has been very useful. I am looking forward to reading through the entire book over the next few days as I prepare for my MC duties at next Saturday's wedding. Thanks for an excellent product. Tony Del Castilho, Christ Church, Barbados, 29th June 2007. |
