But that’s interesting too, as MC is just a contraction of Master of Ceremony and Emcee is just the phonetic spelling of MC.
The shorter, tighter “MC” works here, as well as fitting better on a business card and in printed promotional material.īut in the last few years I’ve been more often using the word Emcee instead of MC. I always preferred and mostly used the term MC because mainly I work in the corporate world, Conferences and Conventions being the mainstay of my work.
See what I did there? I seamlessly moved from MC to Master of Ceremony.
#EMCEE MIND PROFESSIONAL#
I’ve been an MC for over 25 years and have over 40 years’ professional experience onstage, first with Stand Up Comedy, then touring a Magic Show, then Professional Speaking which led me into the world of the Professional Master of Ceremony. Let me give you some background first and then try an explain some of the subtle differences in meaning and the inferences between Emcee and MC. While there are some subtle differences, the words are pretty much interchangeable, but there are a few exceptions and inferences that should be noted.īecause some of these terms do imply something specific, it’s worth considering which one you use. Should I use Emcee or MC? What is the difference between Emcee and MC? For that matter what is the difference between a Master of Ceremony and a Master of Ceremonies? Or a Compere, Host, Announcer or Anchor?
