• Assume your supervisor let you know, "You know
  that we have our company banquet scheduled for
  one month from now. Before she transferred to
  another state, Evelyn completed a fine employment
  as master of ceremonies for five years.
• Obviously, we need a replacement emcee now, and I
  have chosen you." Would that assignment
  intimidate you? Not in the event that you pursued
  these vital hints to become the best professional
  emcee
• Spotlight others, not yourself
• Truly, there will be many times amid the night
  when all eyes and ears will concentrate on you.
  Be that as it may, it's your business to move the
  attention somewhere else.

• Your task is to feature others who are
  attending-guests from outside the company, award
  beneficiaries, board members, underwriting
  sponsors, and the planning committee, for
  example. Utilizing the stage comparison, you are
  a supporting actor, not the star.
• Realizing that your function is supportive
  diminishes a great part of the weight you felt
  when your manager tapped you for this job.
  Instead of having to perform flawlessly
  consistently, you will concentrate on helping
  other people look good.

• You will endear yourself to the audience by
  honoring the schedule. To begin with, start on
  time as a professional emcee. Consider how
  annoyed you become as a guest when an emcee says,
  "We're going to start a couple of minutes late,
  because some of our guests haven't arrived yet."
  You wonder, "Why wait? I arrived on time, and a
  lot of other individuals did, as well. By
  delaying the opening, you're not honoring our
  instantaneousness." So beginning at the stated
  hour will please the group that has gathered
  already. Additionally, you will indicate that you
  have taken charge of the program, and will stay
  in control.
• In addition to starting on time, keep the program
  on schedule. In the event that the servers appear
  to be moderate in conveying the nourishment,
  check with the catering official. At the point
  when the question and answer period drones on,
  politely note that "our speaker will be glad to
  answer other questions in the reception that
  pursues our formal program."
• Monitoring the program's pace will guarantee
  finishing on time.

• Remain totally alert
• Amateur emcees may make the mistake of assuming,
  "One or two drinks will relax me. I'm feeling
  lots of tension now, so I'll stop by the bar on
  the way to the head table." You're right that
  alcoholic beverages could relax you. You're
  mistaken, however, in the event that you feel
  that's completely to your advantage.
