I’m sure you’ve done at least one of the following.
Attended a wedding. Passed by a roadshow during the weekends. Dressed like a pirate or whatever the trending costume fads are during your company’s dinner and dance.
You probably wonder why you felt so at ease after hearing that soothing voice. It’s like you’ve zipped off to a celestial paradise, with smiling angels playing the harps everywhere.
You probably wonder what drew you to grab that freebie by the roadshow despite being in 35-degree weather together with several pushy, kiasu Singaporeans.
You probably wonder why you laughed so hard after witnessing your friend struggle to win a game on stage.
The reason is simple – You were charmed and moved by a very exceptional emcee.
Is it worth hiring one? Can’t I just get the loudest person in my department to host?
There are many benefits of hiring an emcee other than their presumed ability to shout, “let’s get this party started!”, which by the way, isn’t an official catchphrase of emcees. Much like “put the shrimp on the barbie!” isn’t an official catchphrase of Australians.
Not only will a good emcee/MC/compère/host/masters of ceremonies give you an unforgettable event. He/she can change the image of your company. He/she can even change your life – Yes.
So what makes it so necessary to hire an emcee? Let’s find out!
A good emcee can make you feel special.
A phenomenal event host proves that people who talk a lot make good listeners. They make good observers too.
The emcee’s job isn’t done just through linguistic gymnastics. Through superior people-reading skills, the emcee can deliver the very comment that lights up a spark in your eyes.
For those ROI-obsessed folks, here’s how making someone special measures up practically. The feeling of being special can bring up someone’s self-esteem. With healthy self-esteem, one can be more confident and productive in life.
“I wouldn’t have the initiative and confidence to pursue my hidden ambition if the emcee didn’t make a note about my napkin doodles.” Sean, who works for an animation firm in One North recalls.
A skilled emcee fosters teambuilding and unites people.
In the age where office politics and social divides seem to linger in our midst, a good event host can make the late Martin Luther King Jr. proud.
2 individuals who probably will never speak to each other in real life can share the heartiest laugh together, thanks to the polished manoeuvres of a master of ceremony. Differences can be resolved. Strangers can become friends.
A vital accessory to your sales team.
I know what you’re thinking.
Why don’t we get one of our staff to host our product launch?
Why bother hiring an outsider?
An adept master of ceremony provides a fresh pair of eyes for the company. He/she isn’t attached to the product/service and will not bore everyone with technical details. He/she is a gifted storyteller who has the verbal magic to whet your audience’s appetite.
Besides, your sales force will be busy closing deals after everyone’s appetite is whetted.
How much does an emcee cost?
This is a tricky question. Emcee charges vary from event to event, people to people.
A general rule of thumb – Roadshows usually charge by the hour. In contrast, large scale corporate events usually charge by the day. Dinner and dance events charge by night; however, there would usually be a surcharge after midnight.
A very proactive roadshow emcee who has the stamina to talk and interact with random people for 4 hours can charge up to $150-$300 an hour. Most roadshow emcees regardless of experience, will stay away from gigs that quotes them less than $100 an hour.
Corporate events such as conferences usually start from $1,000-$2,000 a day. However, experienced emcees, especially those with celebrity status, can charge a few times more for the same event.
A standard dinner and dance emcee package will range from $500-$1,000 a night, excluding the midnight surcharge. Of course, this sum is expected to increase when the emcee is a celebrity.
There are no hard and fast rules for prices, as many emcees may also come with other talents such as singing, magic performing or DJ-ing. You can always negotiate with them for a bundle deal. Additionally, bear in mind that there would be a peak period price during festive occasions such as Christmas and Chinese New Year.
With that being said, you can also contact the companies on our curated events company list to check if they have an event planning cum emcee bundle deal.
The future of emceeing post Covid-19
Since February 2020, many events were cancelled in light of the coronavirus pandemic. The events that flourished since then are the ones that can be taken online, most of which are events that involve some kind of learning. In this instance, some facilitators of these events have taken over the role of the emcee, who usually introduces them.
The rise of zoom weddings worldwide could also pose a threat to emcees. People who are already cutting down on cost might realize hiring an emcee does not justify a short video session.
However, this does not mean that there’s no market for emcees. Companies dealing with consumer goods have also sought out emcees to sell and auction their items online. Moreover, the feeling of being at a live event is totally different from being on an online experience, where there could be several distractions for attendees to log off easily. As Asians who values traditions and gatherings, official weddings will still be preferred over online ones.
Hence, the future for the emceeing market is yet to be defined. With that being said, emcees are a creative bunch. They can improvise and have fun even in the toughest of situations. So it’ll be exciting to find out what these ingenious individuals would come up with out of this pandemic.
