0728 – Your Bow Tie And Ball Gown Prep

2022.12.29 – 0728 – Your Bow Tie And Ball Gown Prep·        Seeing a script in advance will let you prep any unusual terminology. Perhaps it’s a sports event and you may need to give a score or a result. You may be expected to lead some kind of audience participation and explain a voting procedure or how to use a piece of tech. Even explaining where the buffet or toilets are will sound more authoritative if you know the route to the room yourself. If it’s a regular gig, be across the industry, so you are already aware and familiar with the names.·        At an awards event you will need to rehearse to get a flow of when you announce the winner for example, which can be different at every event (when the video stops, when the music starts, when an envelope is opened…). You need to have good timing and judge the length of a script to hit a beat in the walk-up music at a ceremony. You may want to ‘dress the part’ to feel part of the performance: even if you are not seen, wearing a ‘posh frock or dicky bow’ may put you in the zone for the event. Hosted on Acast.
