Talking

Introducing the teams and playersWhen you look at it, it doesn’t seem like much, but a great hostreally does add to the feeling of the tournament and the production.The main role here is to hype everything up withoutgoing completely bonkers. It will depend on what you are hosting,what type of game, which country, what the audience isand ultimately what kind of style the tournament organiserwants to portray on the show.For me there are a few key ingredients for a successful stagehost. Firstly, understand the audience you are going out to,both in the venue and at home. Understand and gauge themood too. Overall, you should be focusing on many of thethings you learned as a caster, preparation, professionalismamongst others.53
