5月18日，这是一个特别的日子，不仅因为今天周末，艳阳高照，而是因为筹备已久的第二次MC和CC的线下培训如期举行。一大早，我就赶到川和路，马大大，宋大哥，bo ，perter，chris他们几个早早就等在这里了，一大群人在朝阳中畅聊人生超级开心。
上午的议程是根据主持的分类做第一次rehearsal ，虽然准备了整整两周，我的开场还是稀碎稀碎的，啥时候我的英文可以洋气点呢？
最开始上场的是开幕式主持人。果然有打主持的风范，美！
接下来事闭幕式主持，我临时过了一把瘾，站在英文超好的chris身边，立马觉得我也美了不少有木有？
Gala party 是我最喜欢的环节之一。一起high 起来！
Workshop 第一组的佳瞳美美哒，我原来以为她只有20几岁刚毕业，喜欢她那份自信和笑容，还有她的英语，羡慕。
晓洁准备的非常充分，感冒了依然坚持，这份专业，敬业非常令我敬佩！
Round table绝对是强强组合，现实版的美女与“野兽”隆重上演。
淡定又大气的亦文让我眼前一亮。果然做过峰会主持有经验就是不一样。
这一对绝对是最萌年龄差，大叔带带我。
中文演讲比赛半决赛的sam同学气势如虹，往台上一站就霸气侧漏，分分钟hold 住全场。
小孙美女优雅淡定，是我喜欢的那种大家闺秀类型的大美女，我的地盘我做主哦
复仇者联盟看过没？那里的五块石头知道是啥不？把它们跟演讲比赛规则联系起来我还是第一次听说，不到优雅，英语好，思维还如此活跃，太佩服你啦。
媛媛美女给我的感觉是从容不迫，淡定自若。规则非常熟练，游刃有余。
超级感谢马大大一大早就赶过来，给我们带来的不仅仅是满满的干货，还帮我们在网上订餐。从她身上，我看到的不仅是大将风范，仙女气质，还有体贴入微，无微不至的关怀，让我感到特别温暖。
特别感激田姐饿着肚子跑来给我们培训，那么多细节的点拨，精益求精的帮我们梳理流程，大爱田姐。就像我们的大姐一样，呵护我们成长，爱你田姐！
克总绝对是，开明睿智，大气谦和。帮我们现场做了很多非常好的示范，帮我们记录了很多需要跟峰会组委会沟通的很多事项，有trio帮忙把关，突然感觉心定了好多。
无比感激粟，自从四月份我接了mc chair 这个项目，内心无比慌乱，不知道从何入手，空有一到激情不晓得哪能操作，这时候我听说了，大名鼎鼎，做过好几次mc chair 的粟，我就像一个即将溺水的小朋友看到了一颗救命的稻草。无论如何，不管怎样，一定要抓住，所以我就开始不停的打电话，发微信请教粟。 在这之前，我甚至只见过他一次，我敢保证他一定不认识我，然而我就像一块狗皮膏药一样，老问他各种问题。他都不厌其烦的帮我解答，让我非常感动，还连续两次线下支持我们的培训，真的特别感谢！粟，你绝对是个大好人啊！
要感谢的人还有好多好多，比如大区长，我几乎每周都会请教他很多问题，话多的不得了，他不管多忙总会抽空给我回复，鼓励我，支持我。Helen 大大，绝对是大智慧的人，运筹帷幄之中，决胜千里之外。最最要感谢的是糖糖，她自己身体不舒服的情况下，做了大量工作，两次线下培训都是在ibm的场地，我感觉她又瘦了好多呢，加油哦。美美哒。
下面这个厉害了，chris 小朋友，竟然能一边听着英文，一边写下了下面这么长长的笔记，简直就是膜拜啊，请收下我的膝盖！Emcee/CC workshop notes - 5.18.19
Overall tips:
**** TIME CONTROL IS KEY!! **** Be ready to sacrifice your stage time/script for the benefits of the program. Keep checking with the timers
Control audience’s high’s & lows tailored according to the section. Eg More serious for CCs & competition sections
Emcees should ensure there is connection/flow between the sections Eg. Overall emcees with CC sections
Emcee pairs should coordinate & match outfits and have colors associated with conference theme colors if possible
Very important to get all the guests name’s and pronunciations correct as a sign of respect
Incorporate more of the conference theme “Reach your Dreams” into your content
Emcees should have interaction with the audience and ask questions
Prepare “filler” material to handle special circumstances & to avoid dead air
Have 2 versions of your script - Normal & Condensed version
Prepare to handle situations where the mic may not be working & check the back-up mic location
See if there is a person in the first row who you can look at Eg PQD who will signal any emergencies
Remember to be able to back-up and fill in for your emcee partner in case any lines are missed but do not steal their lines
Check outfit prior to going on stage eg straps & especially high heels
Take a slow and safe entrance especially when climing the stairs
Pay attention to your off-stage/stand-by behavior and actions as the audience could still be watching you
Entertain the audience, let them remember you, showoff your style
Need to be aware which side the guests enter/leave the stage
Check agenda, procedures, SOP, any special instructions
Speak slower & clearer as you can’t repeat yourself
Be aware of you ‘So” as filler word as it’ a sign that you have forgotten your script
Have eye contact & face guest, smile, firm handshake, lead guest, leave stage by walking behind them
Must prepare cue cards and can glance at cue cards but don’t read off them. Need to flip the cue cards according to program but discreetly
Use different colors for the text of you and your partners on the cue cards & keep extras
Be prepared on handling if the audience doesn’t react when you want them to
Make sure you look at your emcee partner and establish a connection
Try not to use “But” in your script
CC emcee tips:
CCs should talk more about competition related material Eg How tough it is to make it to this round of the contest
All the CCs should align how they present the rules so it is all consistent. Eg 1. Time 2. Stage etc
Thank emcee for introduction and can add self intro
Ask Chief judge and judging team if they are ready?
Pause after audience finishes clapping to calm down the environment prior to introducing the contestants
Prepare a couple of interview questions for the contestants and can brief contestants first so they can be prepared to answer. Eg Contestants can share their conference experience
Control time and cut-off the interview session if there are too many questions
Be professional, understand the rules inside out and be prepared to handle situations Eg How to handle protests
Align with Chief Judge
Pay attention to the entrance SAA as they will provide signaling
Workshop emcee tips:
Have some games/Table topics to warm up while waiting for audience to arrive
Can have a special entrance method Eg dance to capture audience’s attention
Should have different introductions for guests and ask if they have any preferences. Ask them for a 1 liner
Should provide a summary of the workshop theme
Control time and cut-off session by suggesting having the last question and introducing what is coming up next
Round table emcee tips:
Remind the participants that they can look at the board to check the all the programs
Highlight that all the speakers are great and worth attending their sessions
Provide a quick wrap-up after each session
当然，由于经验缺乏，我还有好多做的不到位的地方。第一，严重超时。因为大家排练热情非常高，我又没安排时间官，导致会议严重超时，让peter小朋友没能拍到合照，特别抱歉，下次帮你补回来！
第二，午饭时间太短。上午开始的晚，中午吃饭只有短短半小时，大家就狼吞虎咽，很多小伙伴都木有吃饱，等咱们峰会胜利结束，红红请大家吃好吃哒。
第三，准备不够充分。议程安排有点凌乱。其实，粟之前就建议过我把议程安排好，我自己都没有想清楚，所以议程安排的不好，让大家有点凌乱。金无足赤人无完人，有不足有改进空间是好事，多多总结，及时改正，争取下一次比这次做的更好。一开始，完成比完美重要。后面就是在不断追求完美的过程中提升自己。这个比赛季，两个月内我做了四次比赛主席，从俱乐部一路做到大区。就是因为我想给自己一个机会，让自己做的更好！很感激这个平台给了我这个机会，遇见更多优秀的小伙伴，遇见更好的自己！
