How to Be a Good Master of Ceremonies

Guide to being Master of Ceremonies for any event. Learn how to leave your stage fright at home
and impress everyone with your Magical Charisma!
Steps
1. Know your event. These instructions apply to all types of ceremonies, from graduations to
bar mitzvahs to celebrity roasts. The key to being a good MC is confidence. Knowing
whats going on (and thus what you should talk about) is everything. Theres nothing more
embarrassing than announcing to 100 people that Joe Blow is about to juggle bowling balls,
only to have Jane Doe come out singing a song
2. Establish your 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 whats
going on at the same time.
3. Smile constantly. Smiling shows the crowd that youre at ease and having a good time. You
want them to be at ease and have a good time, so youve got to set the example. If need be,
imagine in advance several happy or funny scenarios. Play out these scenarios in your head
while youre talking to the crowd. Remember the old speech class advice imagine
everyone in the crowd is in their underwear. Your light-heartedness is sure to rub off.
4. Dont forget your main job is to talk to the crowd. Youre 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 wont go blank during the show.

6. Dont stop when you mess up. Sometimes people say the wrong things when theyre
talking because theyre nervous. Dont stress and move on.
7. Try to be funny. Nobody likes a dull host! Try to laugh sometimes and crack a joke once
and a while.
8. Stare at something or think of something that makes you less nervous. 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 to fast it can lead to stuttering and people watching
you cant understand what you say. So slow down when your talking
10. Ask questions that people might answer. Especially younger crowds with answer yes or
no if you ask a question. It keeps them focused and they wont get distracted
