Tips to Become the Top 10 Emcees in Singapore
If the
answer is ‘yes’ then read on …
While
organising an event, be it a wedding reception, an engagement ceremony or a
corporate annual day, a large part of its success depends upon the manner in
which the guests and invitees are engaged.
It is here
that the presence of a professional emcee can make all the difference between a
memorable event and a forgettable one. A great emcee can hold the audience’s
attention and ensure they interact with him.
Dr Elmi
Zulkarnain Osman, who is a leading name as a Master of Ceremonies in Singapore and has been enthralling audiences
as an emcee and corporate trainer for thousands of hours, says there are a few
qualities one must have to make it as the Top 10 Emcees in Singapore.
A great
emcee must always be prepared. Hosting an event is not an easy task and needs a
lot of preparation and groundwork. A professional emcee will ask dozens of
questions and will have lots of queries about the event, the guests, their
profile, the content and the purpose of the event. This kind of preparation
helps the emcee to be ready with the background of the event, with a lot of
relevant information and stories kept on stand-by for use.
The good
emcee will keep a sheet that shows the various events that will happen throughout
the day so that the event sticks to its schedule and does not run out of time.
A professional emcee is always prepared for an emergency which could eat up
time from the main event and has fillers to bridge long gaps too. He does not
need a script to manage the session and can easily keep the communication going
at an easy pace.
Top-notch
emcees are great at capturing the audience’s attention quickly and set the mood
that has the audience anticipating a great time ahead. You always want your
guests to be involved in the goings and so do the guests. A recommended emcee in Singapore will make the guests feel like they
are a part of the event and are not just being talked to. Especially, during a
corporate event, the audience’s involvement becomes extremely critical as does
their buy-in so that the organizational goals are met. He will ensure that the
names of important guests and VIPs are clearly and correctly pronounced but
that should never become the only criteria while selecting an emcee.
The art of
storytelling and regaling the audience with anecdotes and true-to-life stories,
comes quite naturally to a successful emcee. There will be times when the
attention of the audience may waver and the clever emcee is ready with a
solution to spark the imagination of the guests by thinking quickly on their
feet and reconnecting to the audience once again.
The true
talent of a great emcee lies in his capacity to make the person sitting in the
last row as connected and involved as the guy in the front row. Obviously, you
want your guests to feel important and it is the emcee’s job to do this. With a
great rapport being built in the first five minutes of the start of the event,
the rest of the programme does move quite smoothly with audience involvement at
its peak. They can motivate the audience to participate and keep them inspired
throughout the length of the entire program.
Also,
communication is not only about speaking but involves a great deal of listening
too so a powerful emcee will “listen” for verbal cues from the members of the
audience, in the hope of building a dialogue with them. This also helps them to
understand the pulse or the mood of the audience and therefore regulating the
tempo of the programme as desired. You will also notice that a professional
emcee will constantly seek feedback which not only help him to alter his pitch
but also gives him the liberty to give the audience what it is looking for.
This customisation happens on the feet and is completely seamless so that the
audience too does not feel the change and simply moves along with the flow.
There is
this common notion that in order to become a good emcee, one needs to be
extremely gregarious and outgoing. While these qualities are essential, they do
not guarantee success at the topmost level. Yes, being cheerful and extroverted
does help to a great extent, unless an emcee has a certain amount of
flexibility and maturity, the entire package may not seem too attractive in
front of an audience.
A quick
sense of humour coupled with a clear sense of understanding of the deliverable
makes for a great Master of Ceremonies, says Dr Elmi Zulkarnain, who is a
highly sought-after emcee in Singapore and is a leader in corporate training.

Personalised gifts for the right occasion
When special occasions come its time for some gifts for friends and family. But its always difficult to get the right gifts which can suit the right occasion. The occasion doesn't only demand gifts but also sometimes an event must be organised for instance if it was a wedding or even a proposal for marriage. Everything has its cost and sometimes its necessary to ensure to make the events and occasion memorable. When it comes to planning an event or wedding its always difficult since there are many things which has to be arranged. Nowadays there is no worries when it comes to but some wedding or event gifts. Since I came across customised gifts for special occasions like Valentine's Day Gift Baskets and Gift Baskets in Toronto.
The gift basket contains different flavours of chocolates and delicacies which makes the occasions or events perfect. You can choose the right gift basket based on your requirements. There is also options to customise the gifts based on your interests. There is also baby gifts like dolls and much more. The gifts can be personalised and branded as per your specifications too which makes it interesting for events like wedding. This will enable people to design and customise their wedding gifts for the friends and family. These gifts will be a part of the memory and people can cherish it anytime.
Carnivals - in ShowBiz style
Showbiz is completely associated with entertainment and creativity. We have witnessed great works of entertainment both on and off screen. There are many forms of entertainment and it doesn’t end that easily since it is an ocean where many forms are created as we speak. Entertainment can’t be defined in just a simple form or a word. Some of the most famous means of entertaining forms are Films, TV series and carnivals. When it comes to carnivals it is the most enjoyed form of entertainment for a family. Kids generally love these carnivals since they get to play many games.
I recently came across a company who organize Creative Carnivals and Events in Kansas City, Kansas. They are pretty famous for their carnival games and rides. They have all the essential things of which are required in a carnival from sports to food services. They have unique inflatables which are interactive and loved by kids. There is water play areas set up by them which completes all the necessary games which kids will want of a perfect carnival.
