Announcements

• Making an announcement is an important way to get the word out about your event.

• Tips for making effective announcements:– Mention: Who, What, When, Where (Why or

How, if important)– Keep your message brief– Try something “catchy” like background

music, a catch phrase, or character voice.

• Practice before you take the mic!
