Simple, sweet and funny. That should be the code words or guidelines for all emcees. No matter how formal an event is, there are exceptions of course, such as sombre events like funerals, emcees should speak in a way which is easy for the audience to comprehend, and most importantly, with an essence of humour.

If you look up the word "emcee" in a dictionary, the explanation would be stated as "master of ceremony". If you are being an emcee, and you decide to stick on the classic way of speaking, especially with the learn-by-rote lines, one would be in the midst of deepest slumber after listening to two minutes of your soporific speech. Remember, you are the master of the ceremony.

So my dear loyal readers, especially, aspiring emcees, always recall these three words: Simple, sweet and funny.
