Hey, thanks for taking the time to comment and increasing the engagement on the post. "Old Product" ? That's cute. As you well know, the book came out 9 years ago, was extensively updated 2 years later and then a third edition was published just two years ago. Not sure if that makes it an "Old Product?" As the book continues to sell well, we are currently updating and expanding for a 4th Edition. "Master of Ceremony." Interesting how some people will criticise others for using the term, but continue to use it themselves.
Thank you for the tip. I recently did an 4th of July event that went six(6) hours long. I started to lose my voice by the end. These tips will help me preserve my voice.
More and more gold every time, not just for MCs but anyone who needs to present or get in front of an audience and professionally get your (or other peoples) messages across. Thanks again Timothy.
Its nice to know I am already using some of these, so I must be starting to think like you Tim, I must be on the right track; thanks for the extra tips, appreciate it.
Nahhh I’ll be using ladies and gentlemen. Even if there are people in the audience who aren’t ladies or gentlemen, unless they’re morons or completely self centred they’ll know who I’m referring to and won’t mind at all.
Impactful opening lines leads to powerfully opening minds! Timothy, I always appreciate the beneficial content you share that continues to help me hone my craft as an MC which in turn helps me grow my business as one! Keep up the great work!
Oh, good luck. I used to do a music festival for several years! It’s great but hard! I’m doing a video about that sort of work soon. You have to be a bit more assertive : )
Actually the use of the term master of ceremony is medieval It dates back to the 16th century when the Pope had an official servant called the Master of Ceremonies. This guy was charged with making sure all the proper procedures were played out. The Grand Master of Ceremonies oversaw state ceremonies and court etiquette and private functions; celebrating or commemorating births, baptisms, marriages, and funerals for members of the royal family, royal feasts, ambassadorial receptions, the coronation, royal entries into towns, meetings of the States General and important assemblies. I believe when emcee influencers like Tim drop this out-of-date term, the sooner the MC industry will flourish, improve, grow and be respected more.😃
Tim, with all respect, why are you still using the old-fashioned Master of Ceremony term ? If it’s for SEO reasons, then #masterofceremony will get you better results. I think you’ll agree that the times have changed; and modern MCs never do ceremonies anyway The title itself is gender specific and not used by ladies
Pete Do you think we should drop MC and Emcee as well? We all know what they are short for. "Modern MC's never do ceremonies anyway." Hmmm... you may not but I do a few every year and so do many MC's I know. Events with Protocols, VIP's and Formalities that must be followed. In fact I'm flying to Melbourne to do one soon . Not quite certain about the term being totally gender specific , but I get your point. (Master Chef anyone?)
@@Expertmc haha wow! ok! you only need to do a few lines of it. but I emcee gigs that aren't corporate - they're rock and roll clubs. But you have a great channel! Thanks for all the tips!
I love the whole “turntable & speaker” thing , in fact I was doing scratching in the very early 1980’s, but I always find it a bit interesting that rap artists, being such great wordsmiths, decided to stick with the very old term MC rather than invent a whole new word for what they do
