Emcee Ready
As we see the growing trend for organisations and companies demanding more proficient and professional Emcee skills for their events, Voices into Africa has developed a comprehensive growing level of education and certification for this purpose.
If you are an Emcee or planning on being one sometime soon, then this workshop is a must for you.
Kevin Abbott, with over 20 years of Emcee experience, will share his knowledge and techniques about what makes a Professional Emcee stand out from the crowd and become a magnet for event organisers.
This 90-minute workshop will equip you with the skills to stand courageously on stage and manage the agenda, speakers, sound desk staff and key client with all the confidence that is required.
An Emcee is not the star of the show - they are hired to elevate others, not themselves.
Voices into Africa will introduce the Emcee Development Framework for professionals and give an overview of the proceeding tiers and processes that will be available going forward.

Your Facilitator
Your facilitator for this programme is Kevin Abbott, former radio presenter, theatre and on-camera actor, singer and speaker.
As a High-touch Emcee, I am more than just a facilitator – I’m invested in your event to give both you and your audience the best possible experience.
With over 2 decades of stage experience, combined with a commanding presence and a deep baritone voice, I bring a charisma, adaptability, and a sharp sense of humour to every engagement.
An Emcee ensures that others have the chance to shine, making the event memorable and building up each person introduced with confidence and charm.
I’ve experienced what it’s like not to have that support or to not be valued, and I’m committed to empowering the people with whom I engage with every word I speak and every interaction I have.
I am your global High-touch Emcee.
Former radio presenter, theatre and on-camera actor, singer and speaker.
