Some of you have a fear of speaking in front of large groups. Luckily for you, I don't. Being a Master of
Ceremonies includes being the spokesperson for you. Also, it includes being able to keep everyone on time,
the ability to think fast and react to any situation that needs a little help. Some people will be asked to get up
and "say something". How to address a crowd is important. Proper etiquette is essential to making a great
impression on your peers. I can help make that person feel more comfortable getting up and speaking in front
of crowds. Just having a person out there that smiles back, a time keeper, a person to help answer questions
that come up and how to do it properly for your event are some of the reasons people hire a Master of
Ceremonies. When the owner or president doesn't want to work the event but wants to enjoy it, hire a MC.
When the person in charge just needs some help, hire a MC. When you are dealing with multiple
personalities of speakers, hire a MC.
A friend once told me that being a MC included being the "bad guy" for your clients so that they didn't have to
be that " bad guy". That can help you in a tough spot. A client told me that they had been the spokesperson
for the past ten years and it was time to sit back and enjoy the event. After our event was over he told me that
he wished he had hired me ten years ago. Having your event run by a Master of Ceremonies can help make
it appear more professional. Hiring a Master of ceremonies is having someone that can speak eloquently,
react calmly to stressful situations, make connections flow seamlessly and coordinate to make sure everyone
knows what and when things need to be done. Many businesses and event coordinators use a MC so that
they can make sure things get done correctly, your way.

A Master or Mistress of Ceremonies or MC (sometimes spelled emcee), sometimes called a compère or an
MJ for "microphone jockey," is the host of an official public or private staged event or other performance. The
MC usually presents performers, speaks to the audience, and generally keeps the event moving. The MC
sometimes also acts as the protocol officer during an official state function.
The term originates from the Catholic Church. The Master of Ceremonies is an official of the Papal Court
responsible for the proper and smooth conduct of the elegant and elaborate rituals involving the Pope and the
Sacred Liturgy. He may also be an official involved in the proper conduct of protocols and ceremonials
involving the Roman Pontiff, the Papal Court, and other dignitaries and potentates. Examples of official
liturgical books prescribing the rules and regulations of liturgical celebrations are Cæremoniale Romanum
and Cæremoniale Episcoporum.
In the early 1970s, the term MC (master of ceremonies, which in hip hop is sometimes changed to Mic
controller) became associated with what would change to become known as the rapper in hip-hop / rap music
and culture. Originally, the term was simply used as Master of Ceremonies. It's believed that the first musician
to call himself an MC was Melle Mel from Grandmaster Flash and The Furious Five. Traditionally, an MC
uses rhyming verses, whether pre-written or freestyled, to introduce and praise the DJ he or she works with,
to hype up the crowd. As hip-hop progressed, the title MC has been thought to mean a number of acronyms
such as Microphone Controller, "Microphone Commander", Mic Checka, Music Commentator, and one who
Moves the Crowd.

Have you ever heard a DJ get on the Mic and try to pronounce the names of your wedding party and fail.
Being a DJ means playing music and keeping the dance floor packed with great songs. Being a Master of
Ceremonies means talking to the crowd and making announcements. Talking to the crowd does not mean
saying "please applause", it is using words to elicit an applause without having to actually ask for it. Pitch
and volume, tone and pronunciation are tools that a properly trained MC can use to help you and your guests
enjoy the event more. I'm trained at both being a DJ and MC. Don't think that you are just hiring a DJ when
you use my services. I go to great lengths to maintain proper skills through training on a weekly, monthly and
yearly basis.
