A Disc Jockey Can Be The Master of Ceremonies Too?
If you grew up in the 80’s or early 90’s you couldn’t miss the early rap
and hip hop videos. Then the rap stars would gloss themselves the MC,
With a partner being the DJ behind the turntables. i.e. MC
Hammer, Young MC, Rob Base & DJ EZ Rock, DJ Jazzy Jeff etc..
These artists were self proclaimed MC’s because they rapped on the
microphone.That is one style of an MC. I had a guest at a wedding once
ask me what does MC mean after I introduced myself as the MC for
this evening.
Today some people still misinterpret what an MC really is. A Master of
Ceremonies is a person / performer who acts as host and someone who
conducts a program of varied entertainment at a formal event. A
professional MC is a well spoken talented host with hundreds of hours
of training and experience i.e. Dick Clark, Ryan Seacrest.
A DJ can be the MC too?
Yes it’s true, a DJ can also be trained to speak as your Master of Ceremonies.
I read a post yesterday on The Knot forums.
