Unveiling the Shared Secrets of Elite DJs & Captivating Orators by Jordan River | PCDJ

A good DJ should be a great public speaker.

During an event you represent the family that hired you – and a DJ should deliver a great message about the family along with great music. It’s a major benefit to your clients special event if you are well-versed, concise and can speak with confidence in public. That’s how you ensure the event is memorable for all participants.

It’s no surprise that we are currently living in an attention-deficit culture. Any event or community gathering of people is clearly challenged with people’s attention to their cell phones and not the current happenings around them. A good DeeJay will work with these distractions and still make it a good event. Any activities must be well-planned to bring utilize tons of engagement and interaction, while encouraging participation.

A DJ who is skilled at public speaking will:

• Pay great attention to what is happening in the crowd, and then verbalize in order to interact
• Make direct eye contact with the audience while speaking
• Make creative use of their hands while speaking
• Come up with creative ideas and add variety to the course of the special event

If you consider yourself a pro Mobile DJ, ask yourself these questions and be honest with yourself:

• How do you attend and interact with an audience and engage the people before you?
• How do you encourage participation?
• How do you bring in creativity and variety to the clients special event?
• Do you keep eye contact during a meeting? This will “tell” your client a lot about how you interact with crowds.
