  • Guiding guests giving toasts and providing assistance

Crowd Reading

  • Stepping out from behind the booth to lead line dances, anniversary dances, or hype up the dance floor.

Technical Coordination

  • Using your DJ controller’s “talk-over” feature or a separate audio mixer to lower the music automatically when making announcements
