Olga Ivolga: trainings, consultations on Skype for leading holidays
Everything is not always perfect and wonderful at a holiday. Popular parasitic words in the presenter's language.
The other day I conducted a small investigation and came to a very interesting conclusion: the most popular adjectives with which the presenter’s speech are “wonderful” and “wonderful.” What's bad about it? Nothing good: and these are the most accurate beautiful words ? In general - yes. Namely, in general: generally, in general terms, collectively, approximately, vaguely, approximately, inaccurately, non-specifically.
Of course, this is dishonest towards the holiday and the public and, therefore, false. I just want to say to the presenter: “You’re lying all the time! Tell the truth!"
Basic principles
Good welcoming words for welcoming guests should immediately win over the audience and set the mood for everyone. Professional speakers have developed simple rules that the presenter must take into account:
To show true hospitality in a greeting, it is imperative to control not only words, but also intonation, as well as non-verbal communication. The text can be beautiful, but if there is no suitable image and sincerity, it will fly into the void.
Regarding the length of the speech, it is very important to remember how tired the director was at the meeting when he read out reports tediously and boringly. This applies to absolutely any place of work and even school. Eyeliner should not take more than a few minutes. Real professionals fit into just 10.
In the allotted time, it is necessary to introduce the main people at this event and convey all the important information. Depending on the theme of the event, it may be different. The main thing is not to forget anything.
It is the beginning that can make all guests approach the event with joy or, with boredom in their eyes, count the minutes when they can leave the room. On some holidays, people are afraid to go away to smoke, so as not to miss something interesting. This is largely due to the person who gave the welcoming speech.
What to do during a speech to make it successful
Everything has been checked, adjusted, adjusted and ready for work, which means preparation for the concert is nearing its end. However, before going on stage, the group has a reserve of time that can be spent with benefit for themselves and their team.
Make a setlist
If your music is not based on improvisation, make a list of songs to perform. The order of the songs should match the order in which you will play. If something happens, you can make adjustments to the setlist during the concert.
When compiling a setlist, try to choose the first song that will attract the attention of the audience from the first chords. Of course, you can attract attention with your own appearance, but it’s better to start a concert with a bright song. An interested audience will provide better support to the group, and it will become easier to play.
Relax
If there are a few minutes left before going on stage, then you can relax and not worry about anything. Listen to the advice of the sound engineer and remember that the success of the concert now depends on the mood of the audience.
Relaxing does not mean losing composure and concentration.
And further. At this point, you no longer have to worry about the sound of the band. No one in the room cares.
Look your listeners in the eyes
Maintain eye contact with the audience—don't lean into the neck or body of the instrument.
Tell the sound engineer what you're missing
The sound engineer is always present in the hall. If the preparation for the performance went well, and contact with the sound engineer is established, do not hesitate to ask him to make adjustments to the sound. Are you having trouble hearing guitars or are there too many of them? Ask the sound engineer to correct the sound on the remote control.
Remember that things can go wrong
Don't be afraid or confused if the performance doesn't go according to plan - this is normal for all concerts. Be prepared for any development of events.
If one of the musicians has problems during the performance, play an instrumental composition or communicate with the audience so that your bandmate can correct the problems.
WHAT NOT TO DO DURING A PERFORMANCE Do not plug in your guitar while tuning.
Adjust between songs, but don't forget the MUTE button.
Don't repeat the band's name every break
State the name of the group at the beginning of the speech. Don't repeat it at every opportunity.
Don't allow long pauses between songs
While the bassist is tuning the instrument, the vocalist and band leader have the opportunity to work with the public - promote a single, a website, merch, or just communicate with the public.
Don't change your equipment settings on stage
Preparations for the concert have already taken place! If only you don’t like a sound, it doesn’t mean everyone doesn’t like it. Free rotation of knobs on stage can ruin the sound of the entire band.
Get off stage quickly
If you are not the headliner, leave the stage as soon as possible. Besides you, there are other groups participating in the concert, whose time is strictly limited. Don't create problems for anyone with your slowness.
Don't be afraid of the public
Forget timid apologies, remove the uncertain look, get rid of fear. You are the band with the best performance of the night! Play so that everyone remembers you!
Example of a welcome speech
Whether it’s a concert or a competition, when composing the initial word, you definitely need to focus on professionals. Steve Jobs acceptance speech examples are the best option. This man always knew how to attract attention and competently present his product. Nevertheless, it is better to pay attention not to the story about the next gadget, but to the word before Stanford graduates.
He managed to show courtesy to those gathered and made everyone feel valued. Thanks to stories from his life, a person shared something personal and immediately gained attention. It was very easy to convey the basic principles using examples. One of the important thoughts was that even getting fired and losing can only become a springboard to success. This helps motivate people and give them confidence in themselves.
At the end of his speech, he wished everyone present what he would like to wish for himself. This is the sincerity that is immediately visible in any story.
This is a sample welcome speech to participants of a conference or any other event. All that remains is to draw up your own plan for the opening speech and think through every moment, but you don’t need to prepare it verbatim, you need to give a chance to improvise.
Musical introduction
This option is somewhat akin to opera or ballet, when the signal for stage action is given by the orchestra, which begins the overture. For the musical introduction, you should choose a piece that the public associates with the theme of the concert. For example, the march from the movie “Belorussky Station” is suitable for Victory Day, the song “Five Minutes” is suitable for New Year’s Eve, and “The Puppy is Missing” is suitable for a children’s concert dedicated to animal protection. After the musical introduction, as in the previous case, the presenter greets and announces the next numbers.
Personal greeting
The manager's welcoming speech should begin with an introduction. You can introduce yourself and say hello. The words can be anything, you can even include a little joke.
In this part you can add a bit of individuality. You should abandon the usual addresses and call the guests not spectators, but friends.
Even if all the people around you know each other, it is better to introduce yourself and address them not too familiarly, although a touch of irony can be added.
In general, it is best to rely on your intuition in this part. A person can feel for himself which words will be appropriate depending on the audience and the event itself.
Story about the place of performance
You need to pay attention to the location of the performance. If there is a celebration in the house, you should definitely praise the owners and note the individual features of the home: good repair, style, beautiful garden.
A ceremonial event in honor of the opening of a center, store or salon must begin with a speech about it. You can add some numbers about statistics or a poem and song on the topic of development. Here we need information content so that everyone begins to imagine the place correctly.
It will be especially interesting to highlight the changes. Each site is unique in its own way. Thanks to the story about the place, you can pay attention to what new things have been brought in and what development paths are planned. This is especially true for opening shops and shopping and entertainment centers.
Leads to ditties at a concert
In order to add variety to the act and amuse the audience, you can write a liner that needs to be said before ditties or songs. An eyeliner is a short text in prose or poetry.
What should be mentioned when writing such a text? If the participant is performing with his mother, you can mention in the liner how much he loves her.
For example:
“Mommy, come here quickly,
“Daughter and Mom” - our duet!
There is no sweeter you in the world,
There are no relatives or closer ones either!”
Event information
Whether it’s a corporate party, concert or other event, it is necessary to introduce guests to the celebration plan . This could be a review of competitions, an interesting performance, a presentation by a distinguished jury, or congratulations on an event. In addition, there is probably a plan for where to take guests at each time period. It is better to tell in detail about the movements so that there is no confusion. Even in a situation where it is a small seminar, a little time should be devoted to information.
The organizer must be able not only to plan a birthday or other holiday, but also to briefly present it. At the same time, you should keep some surprise, leave some zest.
Often part of the opening speech is printed directly on the invitation. The prose tells the main events and recommendations that allow you to spend the holiday with positive emotions. Even if this is a huge concert hall, it is necessary to follow some order , which is recommended to be announced so that all guests are familiar with it.
Words of gratitude
The final part should begin with gratitude. It is important to present it sincerely and try to ensure that the words come from the heart. There are many things worth saying “thank you” for:
It is important to make it clear that every detail matters. It is not necessary to list the work of everyone; the main thing is to note not only managers, but also employees, as well as guests. They all contributed their time and effort to this event. Only with the presence of every person in this mechanism was it possible to hold an event at the highest level.
Parade of participants
In this case, each group prepares a very short skit from their performance. This option is preferable if the program includes many dance and theater groups. The phonogram must be written in advance. It can be a whole piece or a medley. It is necessary to clearly define the order of the speakers, because they will have to go on stage very quickly. The duration of the performance is minimal; each group must walk across the stage no more than two times, performing several dance steps or the most characteristic movements of theatrical characters. For singers and instrumentalists, this option is not very good, although in some cases it is possible.
Wishes to those gathered
The end of the speech should be on a positive note. In Steve's situation, these were wishes that came from the heart. Feel free to tell a little of your personal experience or introduce the biography of famous people. These should not be just dry wishes of good luck, but success stories that can be realized.
Thanks to such a conclusion to the opening speech, it is possible to motivate people , this will give excellent results immediately after the opening. When it comes to an anniversary, it must be emphasized that the hero of the occasion has everything ahead of him. Phrases that a person has already done everything in life can be extremely offensive. It’s better to imagine even serious achievements as the beginning of a great journey.
When opening a store or public facility, it is important to pay attention to each category. I wish the managers success in development and competent leadership, the employees a good mood, friendship with colleagues and achievement of high results. It is necessary to reach out to customers and clients so that they can find the perfect service and the best products in that location.
There are subtleties in speech that may be appropriate only in a specific case. For example, some people want to dedicate an event to a specific person, while others note facts that should be mentioned. It is important to remember that there is no single rule about the ideal speech; it is better to make it sincere and individual.
