Si Pencair Suasana (Citacinta.com)

Do you feel like you have the ability to liven up the atmosphere?Don't just be jealousIndy Barends *which seems really fun, try a profession firstMC!

Like salt, the MC (Master/Mistress of Ceremony) also functions as a seasoning.Without his presence, the event would feel dry and the plot would not be clear.That's why the MC has an important role in maintaining the continuity of the event in sequence.For this reason, the MC must pay attention to these things.

–Read the script carefully.
–Get to know work partners if we have to MC together.Don't forget to discuss each part!
–Visualize the event that will take place so that we know what is most appropriate to say or do.If necessary, do research for the ice breaking sentence.
–Sensitive, calm, and quick to respond to all unexpected situations.

Ups!
We must remember that no one is perfect.That's why we can't give up just because of an ‘accident’small.The thing is, even professional MCs can still make mistakes on stage.So that you don't feel embarrassed, here's how to smear it…
–Forest
We can actually anticipate this by bringing our own back-up.That's why we have to look for as complete information as possible before the big day.Even if it has already gone wrong, it is ‘safer’if we admit it.Just say, "It's OK to have an MC, please, look different from the invitation."Hopefully it won't happen again next time, okay?

–Tongue ‘sprained’
If it concerns something important, such as names, titles, places, or the order of events, this means it must be corrected immediately.But also look at the situation, if the audience is not aware we don't need to correct it.Because if it is corrected, they will realize that it was a mistake.

–Falling or tripping on stage
Actually, we don't need to apologize because it happened and people don't care either.But maybe we can use it as a joke or ice breaker for the event.There's nothing wrong with laughing with the audience and saying, "Wow, the floor doesn't seem to want me to dress up cool!", for example.
