I am working on a system for obtaining good photos of myself emceeing events.
For now, here is my experience:
- Emcee birthday party/talent show that included gathering information from talent show participants ahead of the party, and being flexible with last minute additions for the show; coordination with DJ for talent show songs that needed to be uploaded ahead of time; coordination with DJ to play songs to signal which tables should be going for food at the buffet; prepare introductory speech and introduce talent show participants in a two hour show; coordinate needs with guest of honor.
- Emcee awards banquet for Japan Karate Federation, NW two years in a row. Including preparing opening and closing speeches, introduction of award presenters, announcing order for buffet attendance, greeting guests, and organizing and leading children’s games.
- Preparation and delivery of personal speeches in various settings, including at retirement parties, at weddings, and at funerals.
- Over two years participating in Toastmasters, including winning an award for best humorous speech and moving on to the regional contest.
