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.

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.

[@willhannah9741]

I’m a host in Atlanta and this is the best video I have seen about hosting.

[@marlrycoffie3339]

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!

[@Aeneas-aojb]

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.

[@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?

[@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

[@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!

[@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

[@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!!!!👍😍

[@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!!!!!🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘

[@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!

[@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!

[@stanleygergle4580]

Awesome stuff brother I appreciate you sharing this with us!

[@neilybhai]

Dude! I’m about to MC a wedding this weekend and this helped me so much! Keep posting stuff like this, it is so important.

[@mikesentra]

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

[@PawuloSsenyonga]

I am also a host from Uganda this is an eye opener for emcees who think we are meant to be comedians

[@allengallegos7238]

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

[@xxceesxx1]

Just started MCing for my production company. As a DJ I wasnt too confident being on the mic but this helps ALOT. Thank you!

[@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!

[@MILEHIGH_ANIME_LLC]

VERY VERY VERY helpful video. Thnx Barr man

[@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.

[@djmadoresr]

I thank you Very Very much for all your helpful tips... You are very good at what you do and I really appreciate you sharing with us. I really enjoy your videos. Rock on!!!!

[@pweedieluv]

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

[@DJAlphaMusic]

Awesome tips, Barr! I’m a wedding Mc / DJ and I use pretty much 90% of the tips you’ve given here. Great stuff as always. This one’s a good one, people!

[@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!!

[@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🙏

[@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!

[@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.

[@GuillaumeThomas]

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

[@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

[@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

[@exceptionalevententertainm5922]

Way to keep it real and put a LOT of things into perspective. Great tips BARR!

[@lazerbeamlightningstorm5844]

Great video bro. You can tell a pro from an amateur when they are able to rip on themselves and people like them more. I agree that wannabe comedians are painfully cringe. Slaying it bro. No vpice of god on Saturday.

[@DjJayBook]

Well said Barr!! Energy and Confidence are def. key!! I think during the peak season if you have time that these vids are def. helpful to the community because we can incorporate them within are gigs and test them out!!! Great idea!!

[@dariuschapman8437]

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!

[@patrickrobinsonphotography2699]

So I’ve been selected to emcee our staff Christmas party in approximately 4 days. Keep in mind they selected me from October and it’s now December 16th and the party is on the 20th. I just received the order of the party this morning. Here’s the kicker though...I’ve never emceed in my life! I’m a very outspoken guy and I love mixing and mingling with people but having to actually PLAN what I have to say...kinda nerve wrecking. Thanks to you though...you may have saved the day for me with this video. My managers all think that I have the personality to do this so I really didn’t have the option to opt out, so we’ll see how this goes. I’ve been on numerous radio talk shows in my country so I’m not a stranger to a microphone...I’m used to being a guest, but never actually hosting and having to control the flow of things. It’s gonna be really interesting on Friday!

[@888zilemboi]

Mabuhay!!!! Emcee from Philippines... Thanks for this it's really helpful to me.

[@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! 🙂👊🏼

[@dakotahstockwell6656]

Barr is boss. Been following like crazy. Love the videos and tips. I’m also stealing the set up lol I love the gear and look of it!! Hiring u if I can get u to Ohio for my wedding. U got my support.

[@lublex8874]

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

[@nodaysoff2005]

Got your video on repeat heading to a wedding. I usually hire an MC, but doing it myself today

[@chrisjohnson4386]

Crucial guide. Nicely done. Thanks!

[@randallt6021]

GREAT tips man! If you don't have the help in the booth for the music, ok I'll say it "there is an APP for that". Serato and VDJ have apps for your phone. Que it up and discretely hit play.

[@alexvazquez3831]

Thanks for the tips bro! These tips are very helpful. The majority of time I DJ are at socials and community events where I typically do not have to MC, but I have been stressing about when I eventually will have to MC. Watching this video relieved some of the stress. When practicing, I’m going to include MCing. I’m DJing a wedding vowel renewal coming up in a couple of months, so I’m definitely adding some of your tips. Thanks bro I have also watched some of your other vlogs...I like those too.

[@DamienCross66]

These are some platinum tips. Keep doing what you do.

[@cutetiger8]

I like your video! Thumps up! Being an MC is not hard. Just be confident and be yourself!
