In regard to people not liking MCs, well I understand that as well. Many young MCs as well as experienced MCs tend to hype and over hype parties by yelling into the microphone. This can be annoying. Additionally when these MCs are not in party mode they have “announcer like voices” and make proclamations. People tend to “feel” the lack of authenticity and turn off to them. This is pretty much how all MCs start out and some never find their true voice. It is the very rare one man DJs who spins music as well MCs who is able to break this mold either, because he has to be concentrating on the music.
In contrast a great MC does not make announcements. He NEVER makes announcements. He always speaks to and informs you as in a friendly conversation. Even when things are exciting there’s a quality of authenticity to his voice. A top MC will raise his energy in his conversation with you and his voice will ebb and flow with the importance and excitement of his communication. But at all times it will feel true. He will present something to you rather than announce something at you or for you. It’s all very personal as opposed to impersonal. This is an ENORMOUS difference, and one that EVERYONE feels. It takes enormous care and practice to perfect this, because it’s so easy to “use the voice” and fall into the announcer mode. The announcer mode is safe and impersonal. The top MC is speaking and revealing his heart and his true self to the crowd and that in turn creates warmth.
