[@BayardoRugama]

[@marlrycoffie3339]

Will Wears Suits I am trying to get into hosting in Atlanta , any tips ?

[@josef.torrealba6992]

This was great, I been tryin to find out about "being the mc at a wedding" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Ever heard of - Zonason Zeyictoria Future - (search on google ) ? It is a smashing exclusive product for learning to be an amazing wedding MC minus the normal expense. Ive heard some incredible things about it and my neighbour got cool success with it.

[@djmattcorleone]

I agree Will- it had very straightforward and universally applicable advice/tips/tricks.

[@hunterbenson1506]

I agree. His greatest tips were coming having background music and remembering.... keeping it simple, it's not about YOU!

[@brandonrodriguez8615]

The people that dislike this video are the MCs that tell jokes

[@djsnowball]

[@TTONTHEMIC]

Exactly lol.

[@joune03]

[@kennykenaz8340]

This was great, thanks, I have been researching "what does the mc do at a wedding" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Have you ever come across - Zonason Zeyictoria Future - (Have a quick look on google cant remember the place now ) ? It is an awesome exclusive guide for learning to be an amazing wedding MC without the normal expense. Ive heard some extraordinary things about it and my mate got excellent success with it.

[@rurod7961]

Winner of a video, I've been looking for "wedding mc jokes" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Have you heard people talk about - Zonason Zeyictoria Future - (do a search on google ) ? It is a smashing one off product for learning to be an amazing wedding MC without the headache. Ive heard some extraordinary things about it and my m8 got excellent results with it.

[@aojbooker8650]

I can't believe I watched through all 25 minutes of this...and it all went by so fast...I guess that clearly makes you qualified for keeping people's attention as an MC.....and nice tips man.

[@richardbloemker1495]

ABSOLUTELY!!!

[@anelemaziliauskaite6114]

I had to host my class party. I NAILED IT (thanks to you (:)

[@dcati]

Dude I have to say thank you. I MC'd at my friend's wedding this weekend for the first time. I did everything you said in this video and I pretty much nailed it my man. I also had so much fun doing it. Your stuff really works. Big love and thanks from South Africa.

[@djsilverva]

I’ve done this for 20 years and I still watch these videos to pick up tips and tricks to help sharpen my game. When there is nothing left to learn, it’s time to retire. Thanks for the video

[@MeWizeMagicDan]

Amen to this brother! I have always believed that being a DJ is one of the most amazing ways to SERVE people. So many DJs make it about them, instead of putting the focus on the Bride, Groom and their families.

[@djsergiubulgar4922]

Men this is a million dollar vlog, I wish to have that advices 4 years ago when I just started, now after this 4 yars of experience, I'm absolutely agree with any point of your advices. The most important in that is Charm or Charisma, its a think that you hove or not, are you boring inside of you or happy and positive, people feel this even if we don't see that, they feel that and absorb your energy, so you must deliver only positive or nothing

[@djsergiubulgar4922]

@Scott Geoffrey to become a good speaker, you should read alot That will help you to rise up your speach texts, than you will speak flowlesly Good luck

[@VictorineBihTakwe]

Watching this video, my anxiety is disappearing 😅😅😅, you make it sound really easy . 2 days to the event I’m hosting. It’s a book launch btw any special advice?

[@zoeybulu1667]

I have a wedding tomorrow and I was chosen to be the MC a week ago for a wedding. This video has give me confident!! Thank you so much.

[@Theferg535]

Awesome advice Barr, always helpful! One thing to add in reference to introduction music - If DJ's allow their Bride & Groom to pick their introduction song themselves, try to talk them in to an instrumental version, so that way you don't have vocals on top of vocals. If this doesn't work, use hot ques to trigger chorus after you introduce them! This goes for bridal party as well!

[@kuyabuboy8787]

im from the philippine dj bar im a event host in the philippine and we dont use script we keep it simple and we tell a little bit of joke to make people more alive and this video is verry good to give tip for hosting especially for beginner in hosting thank you dj bar MABUHAY KA!!!!!🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘

[@stanleygergle4580]

Awesome stuff brother I appreciate you sharing this with us!

[@IvadyLevente]

I have been working as a wedding MC, a karaokeman, and as a partybandsinger since 2008 in Hungary, and…. You’ve got flow, man!!!!👍😍

[@jaejones8765]

I'm a fairly new host in Jamaica and I really liked your tips...very insightful. I think I'm a natural because your video is my first actual lesson (good lesson) but I find myself already applying a couple of these principles so I guess I have a future doing this. Tip to new or aspiring hosts, before you start your journey you have to first LOVE PEOPLE & ENJOY MAKING THEM HAPPY

[@Exaltedmind2019]

Just realized He was MC’ing through this whole video

[@MILEHIGH_ANIME_LLC]

VERY VERY VERY helpful video. Thnx Barr man

[@Mattman45]

This video was a great help for my first time MC at a friends wedding. Thank you

[@kellybostockderomero1474]

Great video! Thanks for all the tips! My first wedding MC is now 11 days away, so I am going to totally use this to my advantage! I'll let you know how I get on!!

[@DJE-motion]

Thank you for being so transparent with your self-esteem. There's no way I would ever think you don't have self-esteem or self confidence listening to you DJ or MC, or even make these videos. Fake it 'til you make it, I guess! haha! I have a good self esteem and I have confidence, but not when it comes to talking in front of a crowd of people I'm djing for. I can't seem to lose the timidness of just speaking to the crowd. I guess I just need to get used to doing it. I'll try these tips. Maybe I'm psyching myself out thinking I NEED to say something important, funny, or long winded. Now I know I don't HAVE to! Thank you!

[@allengallegos7238]

Thank you so much for being so generous with your kindness to share. You inspire to me to be a better MC/Host 🎧

[@therealestjaee]

after watching this, I am ready

[@mightykingdomproductions1375]

[@nevv868official]

[@raeannaroylance]

Thanks for the direction and confidence boost! MC-ing for the first time tomorrow night at my church’s Christmas Party Nervous but feeling more prepared now🙏

[@pammalindi5748]

This is the best video ever 🙌🏾

[@primux1]

awesome video!! doing my first MC this summer!

[@DJARDSTER]

Appreciate the great tips! Most of the time, less is more! No script - be organic and use your personality and take advantage of the music section to compliment your "MCing" :-). Thank you so much, DJ BARR!

[@HectorABustamante]

Thanks DJ Barr great videos, very informational. Will take and use your tips!

[@Yakawan1969]

absolutely the best video on the subject, Barr you the best!!!!!

[@Djpooni]

DJ BARR, YOU SUCH AN AMAZING DJ AND DOWN TO EARTH PERSON!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH AND MUCH APPRECIATE IT FOR THE TIP TO BE MC. ITS SO EASY AND SIMPLE. THANK YOU SIR

[@pweedieluv]

I'm satisfied already. This is going to be my first but I feel confident and energetic already. Thanks

[@GuillaumeThomas]

Yo dude. This is gold. Keep up the awesome work.

[@mikesentra]

Thanks for this, really helped me pull off a successfull MC at my friend's wedding! Be confident and don't sweat it.

[@jdentertainmentdjmcservice409]

again solid advice. When I started way back when , I worked a hall called the La Fontain Bleue in MD ... they did all there own MCing but all the events we did there , they had us do them. It's just better being said by who is DJing the event. Yea agree when I first started I was so scared, you get over that quickly as time goes on. Always make your own " twist " to things and agree again never drag things out , people want to party not hear you talk or tell jokes. Great job Barr !

[@BayardoRugama]

Agreed.

[@SolViewStudios]

This was very very helpful, thank you

[@chrishooks6740]

Lots of great info here Barr. Even for seasoned DJ's who don't do gig's every week and need some reminders. Thanks also for being real with your self image instead of making every thing look like rainbows and cupcakes. Keep up the great VLOG's and teachings for new and seasoned DJ's alike!

[@heatherfennell9273]

If there is any script to be had, I would say someone who has a hard time being humble and not having strong communication skill and presence is a person who would benefit from writing a script to practice privately until they memorize a certain way of being a host. I did it a lot due to my drama club days in high school, I practiced a lot! It really help me cement a presence that I've spent 15 plus years building. So I'd say go for the script if its really needed. Thanks for the great video!

[@healthiswealth6873]

Thanks for helping out i real enjoyed watching these tips since next week am the emcee on my friends wedding reception 🎉

[@MrMaui38]

[@sybilrobinson1350]

This video has prepared me gave me more confident.make it sound like 123.👋👋👋👍👍👍🙏

[@james1939-s1c]

No right or wrong way to do this. I always use a script, I memorize and practice it. I also time myself so I am not speaking too fast. Maybe this comes naturally to some, but for most people I think winging it is not a good idea. Also I always introduce myself, I think this is a normal social practice, if a speaker started talking and did not introduce themselves it would feel strange. Also music should be instrumental, talking over singing makes it difficult to understand since all the vocals are in the same frequency.

[@LoudMime]

James Ryan i agree, the video seemed cocky talking about cocky MCs lol, hes generalizing crowds/group of people

[@MILEHIGH_ANIME_LLC]

Or u can turn ur music down & ur mic up so you can be heard overall no matter where you're cue dropping points are. Your mic volume should be louder than the music during intros though I would think.

[@zona_davani]

thank you for the additional information. Very useful.

[@Dan1Micek]

Dude. Awesome advice. Thanks for sharing the vid. Very helpful for me.

[@lublex8874]

Boy this is so informative. My 1st one is in less than 24hrs. Much love 🇿🇦

Thank you so much for this! 🤙🏽

[@REnriquez4783]

Thanks DJ Barr, this is exactly the pep talk I needed to hear as I’m approaching my 2nd MC Gig! I appreciate your vids and all the great tips!! You’re the man! 🙂👊🏼

[@djrickyb]

Great Video Barr! You ACED that bridal party intro! It's a Great feeling when we know we did a great job on MCing the intro! I do my intros very similiar to what you do, but I hype the crowd just a bit differently. I get the bride's family and friends to make a lot of noise, get napkins in the air too, and then I have the groom's family and friends do the same, then I have everyone together get super loud! ...Then I say "Alright, we are exited, let's get this bridal party in the room..." and start to introduce parents, etc. It's a good idea to have someone playing the music so you as the MC can be out on the floor. I don't do that, but if I could find someone trust worthy to work with me, I would have no problem paying $80 to $100 for someone to show up and help me with that. I'm a one man show when I do weddings.

[@MrTenor74]

How do you go from one segment to the other in a wedding reception? How do you gather people back to prepare for cake cutting, wine toss, flower/garter toss, & how do you open up the dance floor & last call for alcohol & how do you announce the last song & end the party? Thank you!

[@jeangatchalian-music8709]

Absolutely,, good tips, more power

[@Johan_Marais]

Great Video Dude.....keep them coming ... PLEASE

[@chrisjohnson4386]

I absolutely LOVED IT!!!! Thank you for your energy and advice. You are golden

[@TTONTHEMIC]

Yooooooooooo, I have been rocking the Mic for nearly five years. Not only as an event hostess, but as an announcer for an HBCU marching band. I was recently booked for my first wedding which will be in November 2019. Your tips are essential to this career and things I've been telling aspiring emcees for years. Thank you for such amazing advice. I'm more than confident that I will kill it next year. Peace and Blessings

Keep them coming Barr!!!

Another AWESOME @DJBarr ! Keep posting! I'm not on KZbin or social media daily, but I enjoy watching your VLOGs and hitting the like button on several of them in a row when I have some down time to do so. I find your videos very funny and entertaining, as well as informative and educational! I've been DJ'n for years, and was able to pick up some tips from you on how to become a better MC in this video. Thanks & keep up the good work! I will be sure to share with other DJ friends and colleagues of mine!

[@Skrubbzdubbz]

*smashing backspace on my prep script for my first wedding*

[@BigTeaMoney]

This is helpful but with my company I am the MC and DJ so unfortunately I have to be behind the setup to play the right music and saying names of the bridal party. But this is a great way to start learning but ultimately just need to get more chances, the more you do this the easier it gets along with that confidence.

[@nikdagreek06]

Great video! please don't stop these. I've learned so much from watching all your videos.

[@semeeretonny5370]

I wish I had seen this years ago. Man, thanks so much!
