Shree noted the following on her post.

Some things I have learned as an emcee.

1.     Prepare. Read through the script several times. Familiarize yourself with names.
2.     Have some important fillers prepared.
3.     Find innovate ways to celebrate the sponsors, media supporters, tech team, food venders. 
4.     Always acknowledge the support of audience members, coaches and event coordinators. They are the true pillars behind each performer.

5.     Keep boasting the spirits up, of the competitors. Remind them they are already winners. Remind them to be grateful for this opportunity and continue to follow their dreams, regardless of one night’s results.
