About
Erin Harrington is an MC for hire in Brisbane, QLD.
Erin Harrington hosts events for a living and coaches voice for a living too, which shows in the way she handles a microphone. She works Brisbane awards nights, launches and conferences as MC, and also delivers keynotes on creativity, mindfulness and wellbeing. Introductions are written for your event, and she'll review the run sheet with you beforehand rather than turning up cold. Bookings run from a few hours to a full day, and an interactive session or vocal warm-up can be added for the audience. She needs a wireless handheld or lapel mic and a sound system suited to the room, though she can bring her own for a fee. Holds current public liability insurance.
The show
Erin holds a room without dominating it. She's a voice coach as well as an MC, so the microphone technique is trained rather than picked up along the way, and it shows in how she paces a night and hands over between segments. Guests get spoken to like people. Expect professionalism, warmth and an audience that stays with you rather than drifting into their phones between speeches.
On the day
A wireless handheld or lapel mic, whichever suits the size and format of your event, and a sound system that fills the venue cleanly for speech and any light background music. She can bring her own mic and PA instead for an added fee. She'll want a visible stage or speaking spot, away from the noisy end of the room. Send through the run sheet ahead of time with any names and announcements she'll need. And keep the organiser reachable before and during the day.
Performance options
Four ways to book her. Straight MC work covers up to three hours, half a day or a full day, with intros written for your event, a consultation and run sheet review beforehand, and the option of a vocal warm-up or energy lift for the audience. The speaker package is a 30 to 60 minute keynote written around your company's goals, with a follow-up resource sheet for attendees and an optional experiential element. The combo puts both together across a day, MC duties plus a signature talk of 30 to 45 minutes. And there's a standalone workshop, 60 to 90 minutes on presence, communication and confidence, which can also be added to any of the others.
