Being a good DJ great and will get u far but to really give a great performance that the people will walk out remembering you is to have or be a great MC. MCing is just about as important as the DJ and has to do a lot of the same things but as the same time different things to. Iv been DJing for a while now but when i got a MC that knew what they were doing and knew how to work the crowd i started to get a lot more gigs and more respect.
To be a good MC u have to be well spoken and very out going and be able to think quick off your feet for what to say. When I DJ I usually start my gigs out with my MC saying some words welcoming the people to be there and announcing the celebration. You want to have somebody that has a good acting voice that sounds very out going and that sounds like there very involved into the party. You don't want somebody that's going to talk like this...
"welcome to the 2008 prom of WTHS, enjoy the music and have a good time, thanks"...
That sounds like there about to go to jail and that their not happy to be there. You want a something like this....
" heyy yoooo WTHS!! hows everybody doing to nighttt?! wel like to welcome you guys and were ready to have a good time, I know you guys are!.. alright now come on i want to see everybody on the dance floor!, here we goo"
that's the kinda sound You want. Trust me when i say that you'll realized that you are gonna need a MC more then u think. It does make a difference and it does keep the people involved.

So true, MC's are so important, as I found out today at a poetry reading. The MC did not speak up and you couldn't hear him even with the mike.
ReplyDeleteThen a poet/teacher who had a jazz group backing his poetry performed. The poet didn't even use a mike and you could hear him all the way in the back. He knew how to project his voice. He also did what you recommend, engage the audience.
The others who wrote great poems, didn't know how to present it and only the people in the front rows could hear. It made you want to ask "What going on?" They needed to practice reading in front of an audience with a mike before going on.
