It is easy op,just grab the mic like your life depends on it and say "Hello ah,hello uh,testing testing 123,hello tueh,tueh" drop the mic and run down the stage to drink your favourite or slawormir brand.Return to stage and do the closing prayer.The applause you will get will be so deafening. On a serious note people had done justice to your fear but in case you need other option you can take mine. |

Confidence. Be bold. Put things down. Ask about the caliber of people that are invited, so you'll know how to relate/what to talk about. Rehearse. Learn jokes to put in once in a while. Learn to wear a smile. |

Phillipson02: As a pastor, I have done many MC jobs, and I still do them once in a while. An MC is not a comedian. It doesn't mean you shouldn't bring humor to the table, but don't overdo it. As an MC, it is not your primary job to make people laugh, especially in a birthday party. Your job is to ensure that the events run smoothly. You will work with a program booklet, and ensure that time allotted to each item of event is followed. You will announce events and speakers (if there are any). You will announce games (if there are any), special dances. And if there is a comedian or musician, you will announce them. Think of Ebuka anchoring BBN, and a comedian anchoring a comedy show. It is not a must for Ebuka to crack jokes to engage his audience. But the comedian or MC anchoring the comedy show is expected to crack jokes. If there are enough interesting programs lined up, you may not even need to do more than introduce these programs and sit each one out. That is why the best advice is to go with the flow. If the guests are engaged enough already, then flow with it, and don't crack jokes if you are not a comedian. But for the sake of the Nigerian people many of whom cannot tell a comedian from an MC, you can just get some jokes and practise them, and then find somewhere between events to crack them. My advice is that you familiarize yourself with the event booklet. Know the order of programs. What I usually do is get this booklet before the D-Day and practise in front of a mirror. On the D-Day before the event, I try my voice out on the microphones. So great tips: 1. Go with the flow. If your audience are already enjoying the programs, then there is probably no need to crack unnecessary jokes. And if your audience look like they want to be out of there, it is your job to keep them in. You can bring a joke to the table. What I usually do is twerk the program book by introducing an interactive game. I always speak with the celebrant first, though. I tell him or her that I can twerk their program book if need be. Best of luck!!! 2. Don't overdo things. You are the MC, not the star of the show. Don't overworry about impressing anyone. |

1. Watch Youtube video of other MCs in similar events 2. If it's a formal or semi-formal event, Google "how to emcee events" and select two quality content to read 3. List a couple of things you need to say and think through them - look at some of the peculiarities of the event 4. Speak with the host and ask for as much information as possible in advance - the setting, the audience, etc 5. Do dry run (face your bed or your sitting room, use biro as mic and rehearse) - do this on the eve of the actual event 6. Get to the event as early as possible so you are familiar with the setting before you are called up |

Phillipson02: It's simple. Am sure you have attended a birthday party B4, exactly what the MC did there is what u are expected to do which is to coordinate the event. Have a list of the activities for the party written down. These include, introducing yourself as the MC of the day. Start by telling them that "it's your first time doing MC" it's gonna be like a joke but all along, if u commit some blunders, then u have already told them it's your first time. Also, if u are not very fluent in English, use pidgin or u can even use ur dialect. Also on your list will be introduction of guests, calling to high table some persons ( if arranged in that direction), cutting of cake, the toast, celebrant dance, refreshment, bote of thanks by celeb, music, music, music...... Good luck man! |

Phillipson02: It's not the MC that does that, it the celebrant. Yours is to call him out. Vote of thanks is a short speech by organisers of an event. Just Thanking ur guests for honoring ur invitation. |
