ALEX TAN★Singapore's #1 Most Multi-Talented Emcee-Entertainer

It was fantastic to be invited to be the emcee & entertainer for the NYE Countdown Party as SGCC.

I love my pink & zebra ensemble with the colour crystallised in the most beautiful crystals. Received many likes on my facebook indeed!

Being the main entertainer, with the theme Saturday night fever, it is inevitable that I will kickstart the program with a Opening Disco Number from the movie  starring John Travolta. His slick moves and intoxicating disco moves & rhythms are a special treat even as I remember growing up watching the movie. So reprising the role is just an amazing tribute to the great John Travolta.

When I fianlly got everybody up on your feet moving & shaking to YMCA, I can see smiles radiating from the organising chairman's face.

As the evening progress, I am amazed at how active the dance floor was filled with their line dancing moves.

Eventually, when I got everybody into the mood of playing some games & doing some interactive game segment, they laughed like never before.

When I finally moved into doing my special Saturday Night Fever tribute with songs like Celebration from Kool & The Gang & hits from the disco era such as Earth, Eind & Fire's September, the room roared as I engaged the audience. Once again, I can see smiles -this time from the organising committee members telling me what a good job I've done!

All in all, as we welcome the New Year with my high energy, crowdleading style, I find that they have had something quite unique in a long while! Thanks SGCC for having me, I has a great time welcoming 2017!!!

Finally,  Julia & Stephane's Singapore Wedding Emcee Review/Testimonial for me is out!

I can't be more grateful for the kind words the couple has given me, their generosity humbles me to give even more for future wedding events!!!

I received my latest Wedding Testimonial Review By TungNi & Wee Kiat & was totally elated!!! It means so much to me when the couple appreciates what I do- I really try my very best to make their big day something special & when I get such a review, it puts me in cloud 9!!!

Finally the date has arrived! I am been seeing facebook posts about SEA Aquarium Wedding Events & Launch Events happening at the unique location. I must say it was with great excitement & anticipation that I accepted Xue-E & Justin's Invitation to be their Wedding Emcee-Singer!

At first, I was a little concerned as the turnover was really very late at 6.30pm. I mean I have been to other venues with late turnovers but this has to be the very first.

So I thought I would give some tips based on my experience too, so that everyone can have an understanding of how to organise an event here!

But before that, what a lovely venue!!! Plus I have been practising my special treat for the Wedding Bride- I was going to sing besides her request for 1st MarchIn "Love Will Keep Us Alive", that 1 song that comes to mind when you are at SEA Aquarium-Yap!!

UNDER THE SEA!!! 

Simple Tips:

1) Work in the Fast Turnover-

Really keep it in mind when doing the event, you can see security trying to urge the visitors out of the venue, the banquet staff pushing out the tables & chairs, setting up the stage etc. it is chaotic & you must be really prepared. Sound is the last to be ready because they can't really finish setting up until banquet has finished. So I waited till it was ready, well at least the manager said that I sounded like a recording even though i was singing live-what kind compliments!!! 

2) Work in some Ambient Lighting-

I do find the stage lighting a tad too harsh & overpowering, of course it is the typical pure white follow spot kind of lighting. A warmer lighting will help to enhance rather than take away from the beautiful background of moving sea creature.

3) Clear Instructions to get to Venue-

Make sure your invitation has clear instructions how to get there, including those who are coming by car. What I have here is for taxi drop offs i think, for me because I was given RWS's Manager contact, so we liaised very closely to make sure I arrive there without fuss exactly at the right parking spot!

Of course, after having the experience I am very sure how to make it a better event here!   

Feel free to hit me some questions at the comments section here & I will try to help!!!

Here're some more pix of the wedding:

I am so glad to be asked to be the emcee for BC's annual dinner event again. Unlike last year, it's a Beach Party this time. The atmosphere is totally different as the event organiser takes it outdoors for the great people of BC who have been so fun to entertain last year.

So with the change in atmosphere comes the change in approach as well. I think an emcee must be versatile enough to suit the audience as well as the ambience.

We started really well & early at the Beach for the beginning- Welcome Speech & Mannequin challenge, plus the Long Service Awards. After which the boss came up to me to say that I'm a natural. Compliments Compliements Compliement-ahh....music to my ears...heehee sorry that I went on a ego trip!!! 

But soon the weather change & we had no choice but to move indoors to continue the games & the BC Got Talent. All in all- a great event still!!! Because I went up to thank the chairman & he said "Don't be surprised if we call you again next year!!!"

Andrew Llyod Webber is a master at musicals & the Phantom of the Opera is one of his finest, most popular works! Indeed, it is unique in its musical expression. A show of the battle between good & bad, a mysterious passionate & haunting tune-the main soundtrack is both memorable & a work of art. Sung by the Pahntom & its Diva Christine, it is a duet but I am thinkign of singing both parts for an upcoming event, still pondering over the challange I am setting myself! 

I have been contacted last year to do their D&D but was already taken, so was quite excited being the first time hosting their D&D.  You never quite know what you gonna get with a new client & of course expectations have to be managed. I must say my years of experience comes into play to help me improvise & find the best way to motivate the staff as it is always a guessing game for the very first time. Feeling the crowd, I changes & adapted to make sure that I get them to enjoy themselves to the max. The feedback was that they found me funny & enjoyed my singing too! Event the videographer came & exclaimed his amazement at the way I handled them! I can only laugh later as you know know what are the expectations. Inside my mine I may be thinking that I am tanking like mad; but outside,. they are impressed & having a great time!  

I do like my getup with the outfit that looks like a horse rider or a circus ringmaster as it was help at the Singapore Turf Club. Complete with the horse whip, i must give my outside a 10! a very Hot 10, because after that I have to swap & change into something more comfortable & suitable  for the 2nd part of the programme!
