I had an awesome time making this video, hope you enjoy. a few notes: - I don't care if you copy my wording, just drop a comment about what you plan on using! I'd love to hear what you like. - The mic kinda sounds terrible at times, sorry about that. Apparently the Rode mic could have used a little more headroom lol - Everyone has their own style of MCing so DON'T TRY TO COPY SOMEONE VERBATIM! Take pages from everyone's book that shares and create your own style!! Thanks again for listening to me, appreciate you all.

I've never MC'd a wedding before but I was asked to MC for a friends wedding this month. I really appreciate your tips and I will absolutely be stealing that "Forever Dance" line. That's gold! Thank you!

Hell ya glad you were able to get some nuggets! It’s all about commanding with kindness in my opinion. Let me know how it goes!

Great video I stole some lines so you know. I believe in engaging with the crowd as well. To me after over 20 plus years I still get nervous for intros but I focus on the task and have fun. Once the intros go smoothly than I'm pumped to rock out. Thanks again Kev

haha thanks man! steal away, its the most flattering thing you could do! I think getting nervous still is the PROOF that you love your job. You feel the pressure, and pressure makes diamonds out of coal 💪😎

This is great! I feel like we do some things similar...and I think you set some trends with this video, I'll be using that "forever dance" line. Shoulda trademarked it bro.

Kevin, you are one of the best MCs I’ve watched and heard mainly because when you speak you are genuine and believable. Great pace and cadence, too!

Thank you too! Appreciate you watching

I love that you not only engage with the audience but react accordingly. So many times we as DJs just keep going regardless of audience reactions. We should respond how the audience responds and move them to where we want them to be. Great work, man!

@@djhikevin I don't LOVE the "you dont care about us though do ya?" - The concept is good but not a huge fan of that wording. Just a bit of an unnecessary negative connotation. Something like "I'm feeling the energy from you guys, I appreciate the attention - you have me feeling like the main character and I appreciate that!....but I'm not the main character tonight am I? There are some very important people on the other side of that door and its time to introduce them!" or something like that. Just a thought!

I definitely do have to invest in video equipment next, any recommendations? I got videos of the event here and there but not of the introductions. What got an instant reaction was your method of introducing the first dance “this may not be their first dance, but its their forever dance!” Instant “Awww” from most people 👌*chefs kiss lol

OMG! In the middle of a smoke sesh lol* almost forgot to also say how fire it was to ask everyone to stand around the dance floor for the first dance! I’ve never gotten the many people to dance that fast until I asked them to join the couple!! 🔥🔥

"Hi" suddenly makes a ton of sense in your branding. Smart, dude. I do the same thing with people who are giving speeches. I actually posted my own intro in the Help Desk today after people asked me to share it. I may try that forever dance thing because, damnit, I really like that. First time seeing it, too. Do you record your full sets w/ mics direct?

@djhikevin

hahah the "Hi" definitely has a simple appeal to it, appreciate the compliments! I record line coming out of my speakers most of the time, or I pull from the mixer directly so the mic is included. If outputs are limited for some reason I HAVE pulled just the booth audio from my controller, and not getting the mic audio but with ZOOM recorders you can still grab the ambient audio which is awesome, and maybe pick up the mic off that. IDK there's a lot I am going to play with when we get some down time! And I will have to check out your intro in Help Desk! Way to feed the beast my man. appreciate you being here.

Great stuff Kevin, have always thought your MCing is really on point. Feel like it's something all DJs in the private event space should invest a lot of time into improving!
