What Do I Actually Do?
I Talk
Of course. When you think MC you think ‘Person with microphone who introduces stuff and talks a lot.’
Well yes, that’s part of the job. But there’s intricacies that hide behind the curtain.
I Help You Talk
Maybe it’s you infront of a thousand peers. Or maybe it’s your Maid of Honour or your Parents making a speech.
Whoever it may be, I'm there to make sure they're across everything, and comfortable taking the floor.
Have you spoken into a microphone before?
Do you know how to maintain your composure if you skip a beat?
Where do the photographers want you to stand, what’s your eyeline for the videographers etc…
​
All these things that you might not have considered before, I have the answers right there on a platter for you before we need to do anything (not a literal platter, that would be weird).
Chill Winston
Weddings, Functions, Corporate Events, they’re all stressful beasts, and within that stress is every different Supplier's Runsheet that they’re desperate to stick by.
​
Photographers,​ Videographers, ​DJ’s and Venue Managers all have their specific roles and stresses in helping you create the perfect event.
So what am I doing amongst this?
Well, I’m working extremely closely with these people and the client to make the necessary calls that bring everything into line.
breathe • laugh • Cheer • Clap • Listen • Breath Again
I’M A REAL LIFE HUMAN STRESS BALL
You’ve done enough stressing getting your function/event off the ground.
Now it’s up to me to take on all of the above and guide you in the decision making as to what’s going to help the day/night run smoothest.
​
You may also think that because I’m a stress ball you can squeeze me.
If you do, I’ll be letting HR know about it in the morning.
MASSAGE THAT
ENERGY
You might read this and think it sounds a little naff, but every event has its own energy.
It might sound even more naff, but this energy needs to be massaged.
​
We’re not at a Rave where everybody’s at threshold the entire time.
Your Guests/Audience will need a chance to...
Breathe, laugh, cheer, clap, listen and breathe again.
​
Are they losing focus right before an important speech?
How do you get them to buy back into the formalities at hand?
You don’t. I do.
​
It’s all about working the energy of the room so that people can feel refreshed and ready for the formalities whilst enjoying the lighter elements of the event.
Key Messaging
There’s a key aspect about key messages, and that’s that they can often get lost in the fun. How often do people leave an evetn and think, wait, what was that important stuff that was said?
​​​
Humans need triggers attached to information or it’s too easily lost. When I’m working an event I’m finding individual and unique aspects to an event that help everybody remember the key messaging.
​
Every function/event I work is unique and presents its own challenges. It’s an ability to work on the fly that I’ve trained over time that helps me ride the wave with you, the Client, so that nothing is derailed or lost.
