Last time when i went to the stage with the introduction music i found the people a little down, they didn't clap with the entusiasme that i was needing,so I did it again, encouraging them to do it better 😅 as i had all the performers at the backstage expecting their support 😊 of course i did it like a fun moment, was that a good decision? Actually it worked, everyone was more warm and " noisier"

[@Expertmc]

Yes, its a fairly "tried and true" technique. As you pointed out , the main thing is to keep it as fun and they will join in the fun too.

Thank you Timothy this is information not readily available to newbies. I have a quick question. I'm an academic and our small department is having an award ceremony in an auditorium. Those typical amphitheater styled set ups where each seat has a microphone and swivel chair. No stage. I'm the MC and I was wondering what thoughts you had in terms of where I should be during the ceremony?

[@Expertmc]

Hi. I don't think I've ever had to be the MC in such a space! If you are going backwards and forwards to a Lectern or Podium, I try and be off to the side so I enter from an angle rather than directly in front. Also being to the side is helpful, if organisers / guests etc need to talk to you during the event.

Thank you so much. Your videos are very helpful!!!!

[@Expertmc]

Glad you like them!

Hey, there's a new MC Video coming very soon!

[@danieldevine8858]

Hi Tim great video . Could you make a few comments on some tips for controlling the applause between awards ( when multiple awards ) For context I hosted an awards night last year and there were prob 10 awards . So I would announce winner - then natural applause - May take a while To get on stage so some silence - ( your tip useful the positioning of winners - but I know the winners will be spread around and very guarded so not an option to now who winners are not position closer ) . So there is some silence - then natural applause again as Winner Actually enters stage . Speech then applause as they walk off and then I would find myself re announcing them as they walked off . Just to much applause . Any tips here if that makes sense ?

[@Expertmc]

I might do a follow up video. I know the issue, it becomes very repetitive.

[@danieldevine8858]

Tim that would be amazing . Thanks again for your tips
