What do clients say about our Professional Emcees?
“
“We were in great hands with Engagement Unlimited. With less than two days before our largest event of the year, our original Emcee came down with an illness. After a cold-call to Michael, he found us the perfect emcee… Brad was personable and professional. I was able to relax knowing our guests were enjoying their evening.”
Shaena Furlong, President & CEO, Richmond Chamber of Commerce
“
“Roger was really the glue that held all the pieces of this virtual event together in a fun, meaningful and engaging way. He didn’t miss a beat.”
Sherryl Parsons, President,
Rare Affairs Event Management
“
“Stefano was able to effortlessly take the entire group to another level of participation and learning. His ability to get the higher level of engagement from every one of our participants was remarkable.”

FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions)
Our emcees aren’t announcers who read from a script — they’re professional actors, award-winning improvisers, facilitators & keynote speakers. They read the room, adapt in real time, and weave your key messages into the flow of your event with energy, humor & stagecraft. That combination of professional acting training, improv expertise & live event experience is what sets them apart from any other MC you’ll find.
Professional acting and improv training gives our emcees skills most MCs simply don’t have: the ability to think on their feet when something goes off-script, the stagecraft to command a room of 3,000 as naturally as a room of 30, and the instinct to read audience energy and adjust in real time. When a speaker runs long, a tech glitch hits, or the energy in the room dips, our emcees don’t panic — they pivot, engage & keep the event flowing seamlessly. That’s the difference award-winning improv and professional stage training makes.
Yes. Our emcees have hosted hundreds of virtual & hybrid events, from 3-day virtual conferences to hybrid galas. Their professional acting and improv skills translate powerfully to screen — they bring the same energy, timing & audience connection to virtual platforms as they do to live stages.
We start by understanding your event goals, audience & culture. Then we recommend the emcee whose style, energy & experience best fit your room — whether that’s a high-energy gala host, a warm facilitative conference guide, or someone with specific language skills or industry experience.
Yes. Every emcee prepares by learning your content, key messages, sponsors & culture so they can weave your story naturally throughout the event — not just read a script. Their acting training means they internalize your material and deliver it as if it’s second nature.
Our emcees host conferences, galas, awards ceremonies, leadership summits, team events, product launches, holiday parties & virtual summits — for groups of 10 to 3,000+.
Yes. Several of our emcees speak multiple languages including English, French, Italian & Spanish, making them ideal for bilingual conferences & international events.
