What did I learn as an Emcee / Feedback I received to improve

Annual Music Concert 2025 by Lina Anne Music Studio at Royal Selangor Club

–

Even though I was told to not buy time, be prepared to buy time regardless.

#21.

Corporate Retro Dinner by Logicalis Malaysia at PARKROYAL COLLECTION Kuala Lumpur

–

Could have better prepared on (1) organising the games better, (2) knowing the event flow, and (3) knowing who to have on stage for the lucky draw announcements & who is not allowed on stage, such as VIPs.

ESG Festival 4.0 by Taylor’s Corporate Social Responsibility Team at Taylor’s University

If I’m to share something intimate, such as a speaker’s anxiety, don’t let it be meaningless fodder. Use it intentionally, such as hyping up the crowd to make the speaker feel more comfortable.

ESG Festival 3.0 by Taylor’s Corporate Social Responsibility Team at Taylor’s University

I was both Emcee & Moderator!

(1) I could have added more personal touches—such as calling out specific audience members’ contributions or linking discussions to relatable experiences could maybe enhance connection.
(2) Know who is giving the Token of Appreciation beforehand!
