[@davidgullick6068]

Solid advice! I started Djing weddings in 2001, and I'm STILL working on my announcements, vernacular, and voice projection. Love this bro, nuggets were GOLD lol. Always providing legit content.

[@NickSpinelli]

Thanks so much David!

[@davidbarrera156]

Thanks Nick!! I’m a Dj and my weakness always have been the microphone! I rocked the mic last night at a wedding gig!! Your $40 dollars script made me sound like a mike buffer! Felt so confident 😅

[@4orty_official]

I got my first wedding gig in 2 months. Your vids (especially this one) have been so helpful. Thanks a ton bro! 🙏🙏

[@scitch34]

Great tips!!
One thing I learned at mobilebeat is to never pick up the mic unless you KNOW what you’re going to say. That way you’re not tripping over your words.

[@milesskoog7675]

Incredible. DJ-ing my first and only wedding tonight for a friend. Took tons of notes. You're a lifesaver!

[@MeettheCreatives]

Great advice!! :) I always say "Don't walk but DANCE your way back to your seats" and it always goes over well, especially when you have to cut short a dance set because the food is being served. lol

[@joey3032]

Thanks Nick. ( my real name is the same). I recently started working with a DJ/mc event guyand although I use to work setting up lights and sound and built custom scenery for all the standard events years back I never Mced. So I recently was Mc at a sweet 16 and did ok but I was thrown in to it essentially. I wasn’t able to hear myself on a mic without music in the background and eyes on me. So I went to the bosses shop and did a dry run with him. (He happens to be a big fan of yours btw ) I’m not shy but needed that solo practice and he definitely gave me a thumbs up in a sense that I was picking up on that enthusiasm and energy. I have my first wedding in less than 2 weeks and I’m not too nervous really but I’m glad I found this video before I even met with him bc just having some idea and guidance from you really gave him some confidence in me. So thank you first and foremost. One thing I’d like to say is it would be super helpful for any future videos is to maybe pepper in more real time examples if possible. Just simply posting a well put together tutorial is extremely hard so please know I get that. I’m currently looking at a few of your other ones and it’s super helpful. Keep up the amazing content and maybe I’ll see ya out there in the venues one day. Your new friend Mc slick ( Nick) ❤🎉🙏🏻🤣

[@DjDapperB]

Just when I thought I was this 15 year wedding MC veteran, you just informed me I fucking say ladies and gentlemen too often. Thanks for bringing that to my attention, and now I can change it up. We really like your videos, and have been sending them to some of our new MC's for refferance. Thank you for the content.

[@TheCanonApologist]

I've never MC'd a wedding before, my first is this September.
Reading comments that show your accuracy let's me trust this, so thank you for being true!

[@TheRealDJKelly]

Really enjoy your videos. Great food for thought

[@primux1]

dude.... doing my first MC in August for a friend's wedding.. solid advice! thanks!!

[@larrycoffey806]

Nick - Great point about writing a script. Been an MC for years and spent several years writing speeches for Navy admirals (I'm retired military). Some of them are not natural public speakers and get very nervous. You've seen news clips of the admiral or general, mic in hand, up close to the troops, never missing a eat. A common technique when not reading from behind a podium is to become very familiar with or even memorize the speech then write bullet/highlight notes (memory prompters) on small, pocket-sized index cards that fit in the palm of your hand. If you can avoid unnatural "dead air" when glancing at your cards, it's very natural and unnoticed by most in the audience.

[@nesentertainments]

NICK GREAT VIDEO AS A SINGLE OP IN JERSEY I ALWAYS USE MY SMALLER EVENTS TO PRACTICE MIC SKILLS FOR THE LARGER EVENTS. THANK YOU FOR THE KNOWLEDGE I ALWAYS LOOKING TO IMPROVE MY MIC SKILLS.

[@NickSpinelli]

Glad it was helpful!

[@MILEHIGH_ANIME_LLC]

Here because ive been watching Barr for the last 2 yrs. Good to see someone else doing a fantastic job giving advice. Solid video Nick 👍

[@DancinShoesDJ]

Solid tips here, enjoying your videos. Memorizing scripts and then practicing good non-verbals is essential. Fake it til you become it!

[@pyr0t1ca]

This is just what I needed! MCing is the most intimidating part of this game. Will be buying your guide, for sure.

[@littlecncshop]

This is by far THE BEST video you have done yet. These nuggets need to happen more bro.

[@NickSpinelli]

More to come!

[@xChrXisx777]

I’m always a nervous wreck when I have to MC and DJ a Wedding. But the moment that I bought your course and was able to sit down and watch your tips and see how you do it it has helped me be more confident about tomorrow’s wedding! Definitely worth every penny!

[@mitchdazey7098]

DJing my first paid wedding next month and your MC Guide saved my ass. Easiest money I've Spent (not a sponsor.)

[@unforgettabledj]

I always confirm names and pronunciations of the Bridal Party when they are being lined up for intros. Even if Maitre’D lines them up I still go out there to confirm the order is correct or spelling of names is right. Robert could be “Ro-bear” or Smith could be “Smyth”, etc. great job in the video.

[@NickSpinelli]

Yessir! I get the phonetics ahead of time in our final meeting then triple check while lining up the bridal party. I go over all this and a lot more in My Ultimate MC Guide --> sellfy.com/nick-spinelli/p/the-ultimate-mc-guide/

[@revolutioncleaningservices]

Thank you Nick. I never watched you, but now I will. It’s nice to see and hear I been doing things right. Excellent video.

[@djfines242]

my dude, I love ALL!!!!! of your content, even the ones I don't agree with all the time. But ,it also open my eyes into how to look at things differently. Keep doing what you're doing ,the way that you've been doing it sir. The balance between TRUTH & REALITY!! Shouldn't matter how it is EXPRESSED!!!!

[@livewebcastproduction]

I agree on the ladies and gentleman with not over using it. I attended a wedding where the MC said 16 times during the night, it drove me crazy! I never say it now ;) Thanks for the tips!

[@NICEntertainment]

Good stuff. As tony t would say... this is way better than "shouting out names from behind a wall"

[@NickSpinelli]

heard that!

[@joeytoribio2035]

Best tip vid on UA-cam. Not obvious but super helpful.

[@KevonialJemonathoy]

I had to come back and show some love ! I copped the wedding mc pack and and used the script for my grand entrance . I had everyone rise then dropped the track and said the new mr mrs line everyone went nuts ! Trust me if you want help with MCing a wedding , get Nicks MC pack. $40 for a million dollars worth of game ! Cheers bro 🍻

[@errlvlogs5590]

I just love your energy. Thank you 🙏🏻

[@NickSpinelli]

Thank you so much!

[@djkris_music]

Nick once again dropping that knowledge!!

[@NickSpinelli]

[@alexpisani3060]

Thanks so much, pro wedding mc here and I found this useful

[@lancebeauchamp1952]

Great video Nick. Shout out from MA. I can't wait to buy your cheat sheet and practice

[@IMP1G]

Nick, thank you from the bottom of my heart bro. Your MC guide was immensely helpful. I was nervous until I went through your material and used the cheat sheet.

[@joey3032]

I subscribed and like every video. I have previous experience but not enough. I’m throwing myself to the wolves in a sense but will have support and direction. I’m far from shy but definitely appreciate all this advice so I don’t get the deer in the headlights feeling. Thanks Nick. That’s my name too. lol. Fake profile

[@frederickhart1470]

Excellent advice, Nick! Another idea for improving MC skills is to recognize that you have weaknesses and make errors! You won't notice it live so MAKE A RECORDING of yourself (audio or video) and then study it afterward. Listen for voice quality, repeated phrases, DICTION AND ELOCUTION (introduce vs. "innerduce", gentlemen vs. "jennlmin", etc.). If video, observe your posture, hand gestures, and position. I learned this Monday-morning quarterback technique in college (30 years ago) and it's still useful for discovering places for improvement. THEN take a professional MC workshop to fully master the skills!

[@hectorcalderon1829]

Thank you for all you do for us DJs. You are day man!!!

[@NickSpinelli]

🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

[@ChrisDjChiGuyEngland]

Ahaaaaa, fighter of the night man! Ahaaaaaa

[@deejayfal]

..Nick! It's also critical for all mcs to incorporate "AT THIS TIME" & YO PARTY PEOPLE into their rap everytime they open the mic!

[@NickSpinelli]

lmao

[@DJMichaelKhoury]

Nick you are awesome, love your videos.

[@NickSpinelli]

Thanks so much bro!

[@jamalshabazz9090]

Very advice!

[@MyPrimeone]

Many thanks, bruh

[@tjjohn6310]

Nick thanks so much for putting together your DJ tutorials, they were fantastic!!! I had not Dj a wedding since 1997 and your videos help so much. I completely forgot how much work goes into doing a wedding and your videos saved my life. It was a friend wedding so it was a one time thing for me, I'm to old DJ/MC again, too much work. Anyway have you ever consider comedy stand up? You definitely have the personality, I absolutely laugh my butt off watching your videos, you are funnier than most stand up comedians out there! lol :)

[@josephmontaperto8388]

Great info! Thank you.
A tip I got early on was to have someone video me doing my intros (Can be a roadie or friend at the event).
I made great improvements when I was able to critique myself in the days following the event.

[@markcarter8277]

I look forward to watching more of your videos, I have been a Radio DJ in the past and people are trying to get me to do this.
Thank you

[@NickSpinelli]

Thanks Mark!! Much more to come!

At this time... I'll drop a like

[@NickSpinelli]

LOL!

[@rosecitydjs328]

Great video.Although after all these years I will not speak for or about a dead person. I make the family do it. It is just too awkward.

[@djstevenferreri9557]

Introductions used to be a lot easier when we have CDs because you didn't have to multitask as much. I used to hold my introduction sheet in one hand and my microphone in the other hand loosely where I could still use my pointer finger to push buttons on my CD player.LOL

[@larrycoffey806]

I was a radio and club DJ back in the day (70s/80s). Radio jocks called the phony voice "puking on the air."

[@joshgeorge]

Just discovered this channel and I am loving it!
Question: do you have any videos on EQ settings for the mic (besides the HPF). Especially during speeches when one voice can be very different from another.
Or even just EQing myself to sound good.

[@eklektek5032]

MCing is about the only thing keeping me from doijg weddings.

[@peterichmire5403]

More Church from Nick Spinelli! How about a video dealing with drunk Brides and Grooms. You've done drunk guests. Maybe it's my clients but I've had brides carried out of receptions, getting sloppy with drinks near equipment and requesting stuff like 2 Live Crew 'Pop that P***y' with grandparents and kids in the room. I know it's their night but man, can they make it tough once the bar is open.

[@NickSpinelli]

Lmaoooo great idea Pete!

[@myselfiemirror]

Hey Nick! What external mixer would you recommend for this? Always used to plug in the mic to my sx2 and never knew it would actually make a noticeable difference with an external mixer.. thanks man, great videos!

[@NickSpinelli]

RCF F10XR is what I use! Peep this video all about external mixers --> ua-cam.com/video/WrLQcNVwlxg/v-deo.html

[@juleslarose8504]

[@dilyaknight5430]

Odd question for you. Does the controller go to the computer and then the computer into the mixer? Or is it computer into controller and then plug the controller into the mixer? Thanks in advance!
