Singapore Emcee is a term that refers to someone
who acts as an MC, or Master of Ceremonies, for professional and social events.
They
are also sometimes referred to as "hosts," but this can be confusing
because it's not always clear whether they're hosting the event itself or just
hosting their speech.
In
general, emcees have two main jobs: entertaining the audience with jokes and
stories and keeping time so that everyone remains on schedule.
Qualities of Singapore Emcee:
-Able
to speak fluent English and Chinese- A good emcee should be able to
speak both the native language, which is usually Mandarin or Cantonese in this
case, as well as English.
This
will help them engage with a wider audience who may not understand their first
languages.
-Presentation skills - They need to have excellent public
speaking skills to entertain an audience while also making it easy for people
who are listening at home on TV or online.
These
days, many events such as conferences and awards ceremonies live streamed
through YouTube channels like TED Talks use video chat software Skype instead
of flying in speakers from afar.
So
presentation skills might include using PowerPoint slides or other visual aids
to accompany their speech
-Knowledgeable about the event -
An emcee needs to have a good
understanding of what they're hosting, whether it's a wedding reception or
company party, for example.
Otherwise,
they may not be able to keep time effectively and risk offending guests by
making inappropriate jokes if they don't know anything about them beforehand.
