If you don’t know how to become a toastmaster, but have long gravitated towards the profession of a presenter, then we have prepared for you a few useful tips.

Who is toastmaster

The word "tamada" comes from the Georgian word "tamadoba", which translates as "seniority during the feast." Most people have a leading on solemn events associated with the Caucasus, the image of an old man with a beard, who pronounces long instructive toasts. Indeed, this profession comes from the Caucasus Mountains, where the art of the wedding planner used to be taught from childhood, and philosophical toasts were passed from father to son.

A modern toastmaster is not just a manager at a holiday - he is an erudite, sociable person who knows how to find a way out of any difficult situation, easily gets to know all people and inspires confidence in the customer from the first words of the conversation. A true professional knows how to smooth corners in conflict situations and always knows how, with what intonation and what needs to be said in each specific case.

So that the inexperience of the novice toastmaster does not catch the eye when receiving the first order, he needs to direct all his energy to preparation interesting scenario. And we will give some useful tips to the novice holiday organizer:

1. Choose the manner of your behavior, depending on social status and general educational level of the participants of the celebration. If you still cannot determine this at a glance, then focus on the host of the holiday.
2. Don't dress provocatively or too flashy. The task of the presenter is to be cheerful and entertain guests, and not to draw their attention to their own person.
3. During the feast, the toastmaster is strictly forbidden to get drunk, so at every holiday strictly follow the smallest dose of alcohol.
4. Follow correct speech. For example, often at the holidays you can hear from the host: "let's raise a toast." You should say "raise a glass" or "say a toast." Watch out for little things like this, because educated people will notice this, and you will lose potential customers.
5. Play your role sincerely, with soul. The indifference and falseness of the toastmaster are immediately visible, which means that only a person who loves his job can become a high-class professional.

What qualities do you need to have

To become a toastmaster in demand, learn to influence people, speak touchingly and soulfully. Such skills come with age and a novice presenter should pay as much attention to his training as possible. Practice good diction - there is no limit to perfection in this matter. Sign up for leading courses or engage in self-education: now it is easy to get the necessary information from open and quite accessible sources.

The ability to win people over

A professional host of the celebration knows how to cheer up and bring liveliness to any feast. The manager of the holiday knows how to show the value of each of those present, prevent quarrels or quickly pay off the scandal painlessly for others. Depending on the situation, the toastmaster should immediately win over people, learn to bring sentimentality, poetry, jokes, philosophy into the feast. The host of the holiday should feel when to pause, turn on the music, and at what time to give the opportunity to take photos and videos.

Learn to dream and improvise

It is very important for the toastmaster to be able to make brilliant and imaginative improvisations that are planned in advance. The host at the festival is not a jester, but the conductor of an orchestra that has not yet been played, he carries full responsibility for the mood of the people sitting and the general atmosphere of the celebration. To make a successful remark, the toastmaster must not only be able to fantasize, but also collect information about the invited guests:

• what they do;
• what are they addicted to;
• what habits does a person have;
• what problems.

Know a lot of interesting contests

To know which competitions will be of interest to a particular audience, the toastmaster studies information about holidays and weddings. The more you know about their history, innovations, the higher your chance of achieving success in your chosen profession. Standard scenarios and jokes are already tired of customers, they prefer those professionals who know new, fresh, extraordinary competitions, and are ready to pay a lot of money to the toastmaster for holding them.

How to start the work of the toastmaster

A beginner toastmaster can be advised to develop several of his own scenarios. funny and interesting ideas can be found on the Internet, books and even in life, if a person is observant. Do not copy other people's developments, improve your own:

• read the text, play standing in front of the mirror;
• hone gestures, movements;
• pay close attention to intonation, timbre of voice.

If you are a beginner toastmaster, and do not yet know how to sing or play musical instruments, find yourself an accompaniment in the form of an ensemble or one musician. If you are going to work alone, then choose music that will harmoniously complement your performances. All these skills will allow you to be more confident in public, and eventually become a successful presenter. Do not forget about advertising, because in addition to word of mouth, there are also advertisements in newspapers and the Internet.

Video: how to be a good wedding host

We have already talked about how a toastmaster should behave at weddings in order to be successful. Now I want to note what the leader should not do. Firstly, familiarity should not be allowed, regardless of the age of the guests. Even small children at weddings should be addressed as You. Secondly, the toastmaster no longer shouts “Bitter!”. Modern newlyweds are no longer loyal to such calls, and do not want to kiss in public on command. Well, and thirdly, the host should not strain the guests with toasts, because not everyone knows how to speak in public and does not feel comfortable near the microphone.

It is not easy to become a toastmaster in demand, but it is possible. The main thing is that a person has a goal and a desire. Well, if there is talent, then it is much easier to achieve heights in the profession. But if God did not reward talents, it means that he wanted a person to study, and diligence can overcome any obstacle. How to become a famous presenter on modern market and reach the heights will be told in the video by the wedding toastmaster A. Byuksel.

Have you ever done weddings? Participated in the organization of the holiday? Was it easy for you? Surely, if you consider yourself a ringleader, then you thought about the profession of toastmaster. Let's see, is it really that simple? And how to become a toastmaster professional?

To achieve success in this difficult task, you will have to face some difficulties. First you need to get the first invitation to the wedding. You need to prepare for this very carefully. Most likely, you will have to place an ad on the Internet or in a newspaper about your firm intention to act as a toastmaster at the wedding. It is important to mention your experience and your talents.

Having received an invitation, be prepared for the fact that your inexperience may catch the eye of the customer. Almost everyone faces this. beginner toastmaster. Do not be upset, because you are determined and your attitude will not allow you to give up. Take photographs from past weddings with you to a meeting with a customer. This will be of great help.

Having received an order, you will be able to prove yourself in the future, and having received good reviews, become a toastmaster of a higher level.

Carefully study the traditions and rituals of different nations so that you can bring something original to your wedding. It is very important to make an effort to draw up a clear script and constantly stick to it: paint toasts, congratulations, musical breaks, artists, wedding fireworks. This will help you be confident and not miss anything. The script itself must be shown to the employer and all the details must be agreed with him. It makes sense to hide only some contests from the bride and groom.

Since the parents and witnesses of the newlyweds will play the main roles in your scenario, it will not be superfluous for the novice toastmaster to get to know them in advance and discuss some issues. Worth buying in advance various items, which will be needed for contests and quizzes - these can be masks, rose petals, and other things.

An event host is a person who hosts parties, corporate events and similar events. As a rule, the task of the presenter is to introduce the participants of the event, make announcements, act as a link between the audience and the program, and make the event interesting for all those present. Although this is a difficult profession, by following the tips in this article, you can become a successful host, exuding confidence and charm. You can make any event an unforgettable holiday.

Steps

Training

Determine the nature of the event. This guide applies to all types of celebrations from High school prom and ending with a wedding and a gala reception of a celebrity. The most important thing in a leader's job is self-confidence. Find out how the event will go and what you need to say, because everything else depends on it.

Get to know your responsibilities. The facilitator is responsible for creating and maintaining an appropriate atmosphere for the event throughout the event. The expected atmosphere depends on the type of event. As a rule, the host is required to create a fun and positive atmosphere. Main responsibilities of the leader:

• Conduct an event and connect parts of the program, being a link.
• Keep the audience interested and make sure everyone has fun.
• To help each participant feel their importance and importance. Communicate with each person during the event.
• Help the speaker feel important.
• Invest within the allotted time frame.
• Keep everyone up to date on what's going on at the event.

1. Know what others expect of you. If you want to be a presenter, you must have a great sense of humor, be able to work with a large audience and be a good speaker. In addition, you must be able to improvise, because the program will not always match the script. For example, you may need to entertain the audience while the next speaker has left the room or while a broken microphone needs to be replaced.

   • Don't forget to smile. The host's smile emphasizes the pleasant atmosphere of the event. In addition, smiling, you can win the love of the public.
   • However, you should not come to the fore, your goal is not to become a star, your goal is to make others feel like stars.

2. Do your research. Talk to the speakers to get enough interesting information about them. Use this information when introducing the speaker. Thanks to this, your opening words will sound more sincere.

   Be organized. As you review the program of the event, take into account every minute: the time when the speakers enter and leave the stage, the introduction of guests and speakers, as well as the topics of their speech, words of gratitude for an interesting presentation, and much more.

   At the event

   1. Keep calm. Being an event host is no easy task. The success of the event largely depends on the skillful work of the presenter. If something goes wrong, stay calm and focus on getting your job done. To stay calm, follow these tips:

      • Don't stop if you're confused. If you stop talking, you will make your mistake more obvious. Try to get out and continue the program. If you do this successfully, the audience will quickly forget about your mistake.
      • Determine the point at which you will look during the performance. If you look at someone in the audience, you may start to get nervous. Instead, try looking above eye level, avoiding eye contact.
      • Speak slowly. If you speak too fast, others will know that you are nervous. In addition, you will stutter and people will not understand you. It is better to slow down the pace of speech. Take your time, make small pauses between sentences.

   2. Prepare opening remarks. Introduce yourself and greet the audience. If necessary, greet certain individuals separately. These should be short, but sincere words of greeting.

      Introduce speakers. It is the responsibility of the presenter to represent the speakers as well as important persons present at the event. Introduce important guests with more details. After you have introduced the speaker, invite the audience to give him a round of applause until he comes to the microphone. When the speaker has finished speaking, encourage the audience to applaud him again until the speaker takes his seat in the auditorium.

      Link the numbers together. You can use jokes to link numbers together. Before starting the event, think about what you could use to connect different numbers. It can be interesting statements, anecdotes, jokes and the like. Also, comment on what's going on. Try to find something funny or interesting in the previous speaker's speech. Link it to the next participant's speech.

   3. Consider the final part of the event. The concluding part should be as exciting and interesting as the introductory part. As a rule, in the final part, the presenter thanks the audience, speakers and speakers. It is also a good gesture to thank those who helped organize the event. Summarize what happened on the stage and emphasize what each listener can take away. Encourage your audience to take action.

      • You can encourage your audience to come to the next meeting, donate money, or continue to develop their abilities. Encourage those present to participate.
   • Be confident and communicate with those present.
   • Smile, show that you are pleased to be at this event.
   • Prepare well, but strive for naturalness, others should not give the impression that you are reading from a sheet.
   • During unexpected breaks, you can mention facts, tell jokes, and interesting stories to avoid awkward silence.

Why do the hosts of the holidays do not like to be called toastmasters and do not show wedding scripts? How much do they earn and spend on props? Why exactly is the guest, who spent the whole evening sitting with a skeptical expression on his face, then comes up to thank the host? With their professional secrets shares Natalya Terekhova, host of the holidays with 15 years of experience.

Tamada is a swear word

I do not like the word "tamada". I think that in Russia it is a dirty word. Tamada is the Caucasus and a man wise with life experience, who knows what needs to be said and at what moment. Therefore, I always ask: "Call me Natalya, I am the host of your holiday." The host is the face and soul of the holiday, he is like the brownie who brings everyone together, keeps and protects.

Probably, at first for me it was a way of self-realization. because it was very difficult for me to appear in public. As a child, I stuttered a lot - they treated me, took me to different doctors, but nothing helped. Until one wonderful woman psychologist met, who said: “Try to speak all the words in a singsong voice, don’t rush anywhere and don’t be afraid of anything - people will hear and understand you.”

I had my first wedding when I was a student at the Pedagogical College - it was a friend's wedding for 130 people. I, a 17-year-old girl, was thrown into the sea - will I swim out or not? And it had to happen - I did it! And then there were no microphones, background music - two stomps, three slams. It was necessary to tap the glass with a fork to attract the attention of the guests, and then in a loud voice ... And all 130 people "danced to my tune." I was very satisfied. Further, acquaintances began to ask: they say, let's spend a holiday with us. And for more than 15 years now I have been celebrating a variety of holidays - from corporate parties, anniversaries to big chic weddings. True, I have been exclusively involved in holding holidays for the last two years - before that, with great pleasure, I worked as a music director in kindergarten. To be honest, now I regret that I didn’t leave at the age of 30, but then it was very difficult for me to part with kindergarten. I came there, looked at the children's faces, smiles, joy ... in general, I could not leave.

About scenarios

Maybe I'll say pompously, but you have to love what you do and love the people with whom you are at the moment - people came to the holiday, they want to relax, have fun, and not “move” on command: sit up straight, raise your arms, raise your legs. And there are many such leaders. It is also very important to be creative and not work on old material. It is fundamentally.

Unable to update a five-hour wedding program from start to finish, because all the highlights are not invented immediately. First, you spied on an idea somewhere and transformed it into something worthwhile in your head, then slowly, in parts, you begin to try it, then completely run in and get used to it. This is my approach to work.

I am often asked: show us the scenario of our wedding in A4 format. I do not have that! I did not see the guests, I do not know what mood they will come in, what they can do, and what they will flatly refuse. I usually have 15-20 minutes while the guests are gathering for a holiday to understand how to work with them and what “things” will never go through. I prefer improvisation.

Party planner must be a good psychologist. I have a higher psychological education, which, of course, helps in my work. It is desirable to have a musical education - you can surprise guests by giving them a surprise if there is an instrument in the hall, and musical taste is of great importance. People are all different - someone dies of love for Stas Mikhailov, and give rap to others. But you can imperceptibly mix any styles of music in one holiday and please everyone. But in order for it to really sound, you need taste. And experience.

There are people who are naturally given eloquence and the ability to hold an audience. For example, I worked it all out. I am absolutely not shy about rehearsing at home “on my own” in order to look decent in public later. Now yes - if they tell me that in 15 minutes we have a party on such and such a topic, and we want to stand on our ears - no question. Before, everything had to be worked out. I can't stand it when the presenter stands with a red folder and broadcasts. No, only a microphone should be in hand.

About emotions

In our work, the most important thing is sincerity.. When you do something insincerely, "stamp" - it is always noticeable and it will not work.

If you work honestly, this is a huge emotional burden.. For example, when I come home after a holiday, my husband and daughter already know that it’s better not to talk to my mother. They feed me in silence, I sit in a chair in front of the TV, and only when I start talking myself, the family understands: now my mother is at home.

Be sure at every holiday there is a person whose face says: "Well, well, come on, come on - show what you can do." And in 95% of cases, at the end of the holiday, it is this person who comes up and says: “You surprised me.”

About money

There are a lot of presenters in Petrozavodsk. different. Someone has already really deservedly earned a name, and I respect such leaders. It is very impressive when a holiday is led by a man, not a woman, and there are showmen in Petrozavodsk who work well - well done! But there are presenters who are also selling well, but they charge a low price. Some clients manage not even to meet with the presenter - they say, we agreed on 7 thousand, which means that he will come and do something. I don't understand this.

You can find a host for five thousand rubles, but another question is what product will it provide you with? If you want the whole evening, the left side of the table shouts: “We must drink for this!”, And the right one answered: “We don’t mind!” - and collecting money in sliders is not a question. And then for 5 thousand you are unlikely to find it. The services of a good presenter can cost from 10 thousand (this is together with a DJ).

What the leader does not need financial investments for the holidays - a big delusion. Most serious investment I had when I needed to buy high-quality equipment in order to have good sound, non-irritating light and good microphones. What about a multimedia projector? And the big screen to show the love story? Or the same Skype for communication with another city or even another country - the guests could not come to the holiday, but they can personally congratulate the newlyweds or the hero of the day. Technical support holiday should be serious. In order to beautifully and efficiently prepare New Year's program, I will first invest 60-70 thousand in it. If you do it, then do it deliciously.
