5月18日，這是一個特別的日子，不僅因為今天周末，艷陽高照，而是因為籌備已久的第二次MC和CC的線下培訓如期舉行。一大早，我就趕到川和路，馬大大，宋大哥，bo ，perter，chris他們幾個早早就等在這里了，一大群人在朝陽中暢聊人生超級開心。
上午的議程是根據主持的分類做第一次rehearsal ，雖然準備了整整兩周，我的開場還是稀碎稀碎的，啥時候我的英文可以洋氣點呢？
最開始上場的是開幕式主持人。果然有打主持的風范，美！
接下來事閉幕式主持，我臨時過了一把癮，站在英文超好的chris身邊，立馬覺得我也美了不少有木有？
Gala party 是我最喜歡的環節之一。一起high 起來！
Workshop 第一組的佳瞳美美噠，我原來以為她只有20幾歲剛畢業，喜歡她那份自信和笑容，還有她的英語，羨慕。
曉潔準備的非常充分，感冒了依然堅持，這份專業，敬業非常令我敬佩！
Round table絕對是強強組合，現實版的美女與“野獸”隆重上演。
淡定又大氣的亦文讓我眼前一亮。果然做過峰會主持有經驗就是不一樣。
這一對絕對是最萌年齡差，大叔帶帶我。
中文演講比賽半決賽的sam同學氣勢如虹，往臺上一站就霸氣側漏，分分鐘hold 住全場。
小孫美女優雅淡定，是我喜歡的那種大家閨秀類型的大美女，我的地盤我做主哦
復仇者聯盟看過沒？那里的五塊石頭知道是啥不？把它們跟演講比賽規則聯系起來我還是第一次聽說，不到優雅，英語好，思維還如此活躍，太佩服你啦。
媛媛美女給我的感覺是從容不迫，淡定自若。規則非常熟練，游刃有余。
超級感謝馬大大一大早就趕過來，給我們帶來的不僅僅是滿滿的干貨，還幫我們在網上訂餐。從她身上，我看到的不僅是大將風范，仙女氣質，還有體貼入微，無微不至的關懷，讓我感到特別溫暖。
特別感激田姐餓著肚子跑來給我們培訓，那么多細節的點撥，精益求精的幫我們梳理流程，大愛田姐。就像我們的大姐一樣，呵護我們成長，愛你田姐！
克總絕對是，開明睿智，大氣謙和。幫我們現場做了很多非常好的示范，幫我們記錄了很多需要跟峰會組委會溝通的很多事項，有trio幫忙把關，突然感覺心定了好多。
無比感激粟，自從四月份我接了mc chair 這個項目，內心無比慌亂，不知道從何入手，空有一到激情不曉得哪能操作，這時候我聽說了，大名鼎鼎，做過好幾次mc chair 的粟，我就像一個即將溺水的小朋友看到了一顆救命的稻草。無論如何，不管怎樣，一定要抓住，所以我就開始不停的打電話，發微信請教粟。 在這之前，我甚至只見過他一次，我敢保證他一定不認識我，然而我就像一塊狗皮膏藥一樣，老問他各種問題。他都不厭其煩的幫我解答，讓我非常感動，還連續兩次線下支持我們的培訓，真的特別感謝！粟，你絕對是個大好人啊！
要感謝的人還有好多好多，比如大區長，我幾乎每周都會請教他很多問題，話多的不得了，他不管多忙總會抽空給我回復，鼓勵我，支持我。Helen 大大，絕對是大智慧的人，運籌帷幄之中，決勝千里之外。最最要感謝的是糖糖，她自己身體不舒服的情況下，做了大量工作，兩次線下培訓都是在ibm的場地，我感覺她又瘦了好多呢，加油哦。美美噠。
下面這個厲害了，chris 小朋友，竟然能一邊聽著英文，一邊寫下了下面這么長長的筆記，簡直就是膜拜啊，請收下我的膝蓋！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
當然，由于經驗缺乏，我還有好多做的不到位的地方。第一，嚴重超時。因為大家排練熱情非常高，我又沒安排時間官，導致會議嚴重超時，讓peter小朋友沒能拍到合照，特別抱歉，下次幫你補回來！
第二，午飯時間太短。上午開始的晚，中午吃飯只有短短半小時，大家就狼吞虎咽，很多小伙伴都木有吃飽，等咱們峰會勝利結束，紅紅請大家吃好吃噠。
第三，準備不夠充分。議程安排有點凌亂。其實，粟之前就建議過我把議程安排好，我自己都沒有想清楚，所以議程安排的不好，讓大家有點凌亂。金無足赤人無完人，有不足有改進空間是好事，多多總結，及時改正，爭取下一次比這次做的更好。一開始，完成比完美重要。后面就是在不斷追求完美的過程中提升自己。這個比賽季，兩個月內我做了四次比賽主席，從俱樂部一路做到大區。就是因為我想給自己一個機會，讓自己做的更好！很感激這個平臺給了我這個機會，遇見更多優秀的小伙伴，遇見更好的自己！
