MASTER THE CEREMONIES

The Emcee's Handbook for Excellence

#72 Keep the volume of your voice up when announcing a speaker or winner.

When introducing a speaker or a person to receive an award, do not drop your voice on the announcement of the name. The announcement of the name is the climax and the audience's cue to applaud. The vigor of the ovation will depend on the enthusiasm that you generate with your voice.
If you drop your voice on the announcement of the name, thereby showing little enthusiasm or excitement, your audience will respond similarly.
An excited, enthusiastic, and energetic announcement might sound overly dramatic to you, but it will excite the audience about the person being recognized.
