Being a host/emcee

You might be wondering why I'd suddenly popped out with the topic of Being a host/emcee. It's because of the semi final round of TARUC Odyssey Night 2016/2017. These are the pictures taken by me during the event:

Before the event (Rehearsal Stage):

Rehearsing for the next day's event.

Always got confused by these two talented , wonderful so called "twins". x)

Annabelle of TARUC. Yeah, she'd better be. *Hahahaha*

She's the one who's always supporting me. Thank you ;)

Tired SRC Members. Well done...

During the event (Some of the pictures are overexposed, so yeah): 

Kudos for M1 :D, Nice looking, nice voice blah blah blah.

Singing "好久不见", nice one though.

Sonyiaaaaa :D :D :D

It's only for the semi-final. We're still working our way to make the Odyssey Night 2016/2017 of TARUC a success. ;)

Really nice guy and responsible too, Lucas Chong. :D

2 years back, I wrote a post regarding my dream, which would be 主持人之路

It was and it is still my dream of becoming a host of a TV program. That'd be really difficult and hard, but it isn't impossible. The SRC didn't choose me as the emcee of that particular night, I volunteered. It might seemed stupid for that who the hell would like to be the emcee? I read an article before while scrolling down the Business Insider app and it stated that the number one fear for most people is Public Speaking. And in order to curb my fear, I faced it.

I've been to many occasions before and I've seen a lot of great emcees and also a lot of those who have room to improve. Technically speaking, I'm not really good at memorizing the flow of an event. Therefore, as for yesterday's event, I'd really like to thank my partner, Stephanie for being such a supportive yet really brilliant girl.

Back to the main topic.
I'm that type of emcee who'd like to joke around and whatsoever. I might be a little bit sarcastic while I'm hosting an event, but if you know me real deep (even Adele couldn't roll in), I'm actually quite sentimental and sensitive. A lot of my other friends would say that I'm not really serious while being an emcee. But hey, isn't it my job to not bore the audience? I've been the emcee for quite a few events already while I'm in college. It was truly an amazing yet interesting moment while you're able to grab other people's attention and also bring happiness, laughter and so on to your audience.

I learned a lot of different accents around the world from Youtube, TV shows, especially from those stand-up comedians (e.g. Fluffy, Russel and so on). To be frank, I grabbed hold of these accents in order to get girl-friends. I'm from a unisex secondary school where the people I meet are boys, with an additional centimeters in front of them. *meh*

So, yeah. I developed these skills also to make my life more interesting. I could always ask myself questions in one accent and answer them with the other accents. *OMG* Sounds crazy right? Yeah, it should be. The different accents of mine portray the different personalities of me. TRULY. And after years of training (having an English monologue with myself), I've actually gained a skill which is to speak spontaneously in front of my audience without being nervous or afraid. So, yeah. it worked.

When I was in high school, one of my teachers said I wouldn't be able to become a really good emcee. Guess what? She's right. Because there are no really good emcee/host, only those who're seeking ways to improve themselves. I fall in that category where I'd really like to improve my socializing skills and also my presentation skills. I sincerely thank to those who've helped me to this stage of life. :)
