Learn how to Command the Stage - Even Under Pressure

This one-day virtual intensive trains emcees to command crowds, manage time, and stay composed when things don’t go as planned.

INTENSIVE 1 - FEB 21 - SAT 
INTENSIVE 2 - FEB 22 - SUN

Reserve Your Spot

THE STORY

This could be you...

This training is built for real stages, real pressure and and will set you  up for real success.  

No more gatekeeping: 
Most people holding microphones are guessing and relying on their personalities and hyper energy. The professionals aren’t louder, they’re trained.  The real skills of managing delays, commanding attention, staying composed under pressure all while entertaining a room, have always been passed down from one pro to another. Until now.

SKILLS

What you'll learn

Show up calm, clear, and in control - even when the room isn’t.

Stop battling nerves, filler words, and self-doubt. Learn how to ground yourself on stage, recover smoothly from mistakes, and project confidence without forcing energy or “performing” confidence.

 

 

RESULT:

You sound composed, credible, and intentional - not anxious or over-hyped.

Command the room instead of reacting to it.

Move beyond filling time and hoping the crowd stays engaged. Learn proven techniques to manage attention, guide energy, handle delays, and turn unpredictable moments into highlights.

 

​​

​

RESULT:

You lead the experience - the room follows.

Become the emcee organizers trust with their entire event.

Speak with clarity and authority, understand event flow, and show up prepared, adaptable, and easy to work with. Learn how professionals think, plan, and communicate - on and off the microphone.

​​

​

RESULT:

You’re not just “the Emcee” - you’re an essential part of the production.

Confidence

Control

Professionalism
