Re: How to Emcee at competitions

I'll be the game announcer at CVR, and I also emcee FLL/FTC/VEX/off-season events. I'd be happy to talk to you, come find me on the field.

Basically, start at smaller events, practice at off-seasons and FLL/FTC events. Shadow emcees at regionals where you can. The best advice I can give is that you should be yourself - don't try to be a clone of Mark or a clone of Karthik. Learn to be comfortable on a stage, and especially with public speaking.

Remember that being an emcee is more than being crazy. It's being energetic and fun, but also professional and in control.
